[ This is good. Right. A new normal, yes, but still a normal. He doesn’t return the kiss, but sighs warmly into it and lets a hand settle on Alucard’s back. The stone floor beneath the rug is solid against his shoulders, a constant and immovable certainty. Above him, Alucard is almost as constant and about as likely to go anywhere as the floor is, so long as Trevor asks him not to.
He’s safe. ]
Think- think I’m going to take it easy for the rest of the day.
[ Now there’s a phrase you don’t hear from Trevor often. He says it againt Alucard’s lips, and so the words turn into a lot of tiny kisses. ]
[Maybe that's a touch too sentimental. But it's a true statement, one Alucard has no regret in expressing. There's another kiss, just as gentle as the ones before.]
Dunno. You might run off to try to do another good deed.
[ He chuckles, opening his eyes to stare up at the ceiling. He likes this patch of ceiling, the one he stares up at on sleepless nights. He's memorised the whole damn thing. All the little cracks, the tiny discolourations from when smoke has escaped the fireplace. The slow, constant process of spiders weaving before one of them clears the webs away. Likes the temperature when he's this exact distance from a fire burning so low that it might die at any moment were it not for Sypha's presence in the castle. ]
I'm grateful. I really am. It'll be- useful, being able to go around without worrying about getting dragged to the gallows. [ A pause, and he looks from the ceiling back to Alucard. ]
But this is all I've ever wanted. More than I could have imagined I'd ever dare to want. All you ever have to do for me is be here.
