I just wasn't expecting...but it's fine. There's no mark like Vincent's on you.
[He says, reassuring Aether. It's just the usual bruising and puncture wounds. Nothing more than that. At least, this time. Noé leans in against Aether more when the other pets his hair. It's nice. Comforting. Something soothing about the way Aether just seems so calm and gentle. The motion of his hair being stroked like that.]
You're sure? It wouldn't be a problem? I mean. Not that I intend to....
[But the reassurance does help. That and that there's something very soothing about the way Aether's fingers run through his hair. Maybe part of him should be more worried, whether he might have accidentally taken too much from Aether. But he does relent in agreeing to stay.]
Hm. Alright. If it's alright with you. I can stay.
[Aether will learn very quickly that he is definitely a hugger in his sleep.]
[He nods, shifting to allow the other to curl up against him more comfortably if necessary, one arm wrapping around Aether's waist in habit whenever he shares a bed or couch with someone else. Given he spent years sharing with Dominique and Louis, it's just a habit to seek that closeness and comfort.]
I can stay. However long you want me to.
[It's the least he can do, right? After Aether offered to help him out like this. So he doesn't mind.]

[In a way he understands. It's like having a kiss mark left on the skin, except the context is a bit different. He nods.]
If it happened, I wouldn't mind, but I can get why you'd rather it didn't happen.
[Now he's curious what that mark looks like on Vincent.]
Either way, don't worry. [He pets Noé's hair gently.]

Date: 2025-11-10 12:44 am (UTC)It's all fine. [He says and truly, he believes that no matter if Noé marked him or not, it would still be perfectly fine.]
I'm feeling a bit sleepy... Would you like to nap with me? [He says with a note of amusement.]

Date: 2025-12-01 02:12 pm (UTC)It's not a problem at all.
[He's comfortable like this and he definitely wants to take a nap now.]
Good. Then it's decided.
[He hugs the other a bit more, before relaxing completely.]
