[There's a far smarter assed Alucard who'd respond to the point about question dodging, but he left a long time ago. The Alucard that is here in his place is all soft edges and floppy, happy weight, his arms wrapped around Trevor's neck, part of his upper arms resting on Trevor's shoulders.]
Always yours. [But that's all Alucard can respond to before the rest of the words are spoken. There isn't any tension in him, but the hands that rest on his sides can still feel the way that the vampire keeps melting, melting, melting. The last one, well, there's more of a puddle in Trevor's lap than a vampire.
And maybe that's it. This is protection, far more subtly understood than the kind of possessive protection of Dracula. The one that only understands physical space, the one that puts up walls. This is full, complete, utter, not because it has been proven time and again that Trevor's skills have saved Alucard's life more than once, but because emotions are just as important.
It doesn't matter if the last word isn't strictly true yet. It's been true between the three of them for some time now, and now is the first time the word has been uttered.
Alucard doesn't say anything back. He kisses, stupid and in love and trying to make that so clear.]
