[In fairness, Sypha and Alucard began the campaign to Make Trevor Take a Bath Several Times a Week because at the start of all of this, it had been needed. A very different life had left a lasting impression on the Belmont, and while they were happy to live with him they were much less happy to live with the scent that he carried.
Alucard's all set to say something about being irritated by how long the bed is taking to make, or at least something about doing the dishes quickly, he is ambushed! Set upon! Attacked in the sneaky way only vampire hunters can sneak, all while honing in on his true weakness: attention to his neck.
There's an immediate noise that's Alucard's version of a squeak (it's actually just a squeak and he lies to lie to himself that it isn't) from Trevor's sudden ambush. He's done it plenty of times, and Alucard's found it easy to escape from if he's needed to. Sometimes it happens automatically, but now--
--not happening. Alucard's body rebels against the desire to try and escape Trevor's grasp, and so goes slack instead. He isn't even going to attempt this fight.]
I'm not in any negotiating position, am I?
[He's in the opposite. But more than that, having Trevor back against him feels like the release he's needed since this started, and it's more likely to help with plans for the next few days.]

And it was rather gross down there...
