Aries couldn't help being a bit confused as Luca assured him this is what being intimate was like. He did nod though, and decided that as Luca said it was a good thing, it was a nice thing definitely, it was nice being close, feeling good together. He heard Luca laugh again and while he did pout at being laughed at, he also really liked hearing it all the same. Luca was laughing more, smiling more… compared to when Aries had first met him Luca seemed to be a bit happier even with everything that had happened.<br/><br/>He flushed, could he really not be too loud? But he'd do what Luca wanted, so next time he'd try not to quiet himself. He nuzzled the man's hand as Luca touched his cheek, and he felt his heart flutter at hearing they could do this again, and that they could do it often. He didn't know what he meant by that, but he hoped that it meant he wouldn't have to wait too long before they could do it again and be could hear more of Luca's voice when he was feeling good. But his smile and laugh also stirred Aries' heart, just in a different manner.<br/><br/>He could tell that Luca was a little sad as he spoke about the past, the vampire tilting his head when Luca began as he didn't really understand what he meant at first. Thankfully, as usual, Luca seemed to know that without being asked and he went on to explain. He couldn't bring himself to look at Luca as the ma  spoke, he still felt a little too jealous to see Luca's expression when talking about that person, but even without looking, even with just listening, he could tell that Luca's voice was different when be talked about it. It made his chest ache, knowing Luca missed that person… but he wondered if it felt nice to talk about it too, just as Aries was sad, but still a little happy when talking about his brother.<br/><br/>He let the silence linger, and when Luca spoke again he nodded. "I'm sure Luca will see him again. Luca is a good person, and I'm sure they were too." He said with a rare moment of conviction. He knew he wouldn't be able to go to the same place as those he considered "good", not with what he was, what he had become, but he knew Luca would go there and he was sure he had people waiting for him. He probably would have gotten sad thinking about it, but as Luca spoke he instead found it hard to feel anything but happiness. Luca made it hard for Aries, hard to continue on the way he had all these years… Luca made his life far too bright and warm.<br/><br/>He wondered if Luca actually meant doing more of that tonight, wasn't Luca tired? But he nodded, and the soft touch on his back made him shiver. Hearing the first time Luca invited him to shower together though would have had the vampire pouncing on him in excitement if the human wasn't injured, so instead he settled for a wide grin and enthusiastic nod. "Mm, yeah, I want to shower with you." He chirped, eyes bright. "I can help wash you." He then offered, clearly pleased that they could bathe together as he slipped from the bed and trotted to the bathroom.<br/><br/>He did have a moment of nervousness, surely they would be fine here, right? The hunters weren't foolish enough to earn the vampire's ire a second time, were they? Aries faltered, but only a moment before he went to get the water running as he waited excitedly for Luca to come join him. While he waited he looked in the mirror, something he found easier to do the more time he spent with Luca. The earring was first to catch his eyes, gaining a soft, happy giggle from him, before his eyes trailed down to the shiny sticky mess. He didn't hate it, but… he still felt a little awkward doing something he had always thought of as being very private and a little wrong with someone watching, let alone participating. But Luca said it was part of being intimate, so he didn't dwell on it too long and instead went to call to Luca now that the water was nice and warm. He was practically giddy at finally being able to bathe together, especially after being turned down twice. He couldn't help but be excited even over such a small thing.
