[Alucard does nothing more. Trevor has to ride this out, and he knows that the best he can do is just be physically present. It sucks. But it could be so much worse.
He continues and continues holding. Being quiet.
And then when Trevor asks, he only has one question in response:]
[ The laugh he gets in response to that is weak, but genuine. ]
The rest- I think the rest would be best here. [ The kissing, but also the gathering Alucard up and carrying him around. He'd like to do more of that, too. ]
[ He almost asks if he can carry Alucard again, but right now even his own weight feels almost too much. He pushes himself up unsteadily, half floating so as not to have to carry his own weight on his shaking legs. ]
I- both of you?
[ Alucard said that, didn’t he? That they both love him. ]
[ He's cautious about putting his weight onto Alucard. It takes him a few more steps of mostly floating, but eventually, eventually, he does. It feels wrong, to be the one to lean on the others. But maybe- maybe right now it's what he needs. He can go back to carrying everyone else's weight later. ]
Can we just- I don't know. Go somewhere to sit down? And I just- you're just there. With me.
[Alucard keeps leading. Arm around Trevor. Going up each stair, step by human step. Continuing until they're in the library itself, and Alucard can steer them over to the comfiest of sofas.]
[ By the time they reach the library, he feels a little more steady. Still uncomfortably vulnerable, but stronger. He sits and extends his arms to try to make it clearer what he's asking of Alucard.
To be a rock for him to cling to, just for a little while longer. ]
[Alucard absolutely just sits down. Not next to Trevor, but in his lap. If the Belmont wants him elsewhere, he'll have to say so. Because from here, Alucard can be something warm that the dhampir wraps himself around. A constant heartbeat.]
[ It's not what he expected. Not even what he hoped for. It's better, and he coils his arms around Alucard.
His humans. His very own humans, who'll always come back for him. ]
I- think I- [ The words are difficult, like saying them is a little too vulnerable even for this moment. He mushes his face into Alucard's chest, mumbling them above his heart so they're barely audible. So he's not putting the words into the air where they can break. ]
[Alucard presses a kiss to the top of Trevor's head. Then another. Letting the Belmont just mush his face into tiddies, and in the back of his mind? He rather likes that.]

Do we have to go all the way back to Hell?

[It's Alucard's turn to offer Trevor his arm.]
We just weren't sure how. This seemed as good a time as any.
