[Alucard is on the floor of their place at the moment, a few large sheet of paper spread around him in a semi-circle. He's trying to get back to the plan of designing a new place, but now made for three instead of two. It's a good challenge, because so much of it has to accommodate Trevor's changes.

Which he is so very aware of. It must be this month. Trevor's grown so much worse. Can barely manage the sun, and his skin looks so much like Dracula's that it's sickening. There's one question he's wanted to ask how do you want to do this and us to take care of you until you rise? but there has never been a good time.

Alucard gets to his feet when Trevor walks in again and--

--burnt.

He remembers that.

More than that, remembers what his mother would do. But the first step is to walk over to Trevor and offer to take his cloak.]

It has that effect at certain points. How bad do your cheeks hurt?

They feel... warm. In an annoying way.

[ Not the sort of way a nice warm bath feels that's for sure. But with his cloak taken and another curse falling from his lips, he looks the backs of his hands over and frowns at the marks there from the sun touching his skin. It's... annoying. Really annoying and Trevor just SIGHS as he digs through his bag to pull out some gloves and a pair of sunglasses as well. ]

Can't believe I got burnt of all things.

[ Or, in other words: can't believe he's finally starting to burn. ]

They're sunburnt.

[Alucard begins to walk to the kitchen, gesturing for Trevor to follow after him.]

I can make a salve for the burns to lessen their impact. I used to help my mother make it during the summer months.

It's not even summer.

[ It's a bit overcast and still, the daylight affects him. So that's... great. Not at all foreshadowing what might be just around the corner. Nope. But rather than worry himself about that, he follows after the blond with the bag being dragged along and sighs. ]

Sypha's not here?

She might be. I've been so consumed with work that I may not have heard her.

[Alucard opens a smaller cabinet that's full of medical components. He takes out a few bottles, along with a small bowl.]M/small>

Could you get me a spoon, please?

Oh. Sure.

[ Maybe ask him BEFORE he follows you over here?? But, he does as asked and wanders off to grab a spoon, coming back to hold it out for the blond to take, bag still in his other hand. Which... he looks down to before he looks back up to Alucard and just... hesitates a bit. Which, that hesitation can probably be felt as a gentle flutter through their bond as he stands there. ]

So... what are you working on?

[They're in the kitchen, it isn't as if a spoon is so far away. Alucard takes the spoon and starts to dose things into the bowl, gold eyes keen and careful. It's mostly liquid and a single gel, and soon the smell of aloe fills the room. Alucard's careful as he stirs and--

--hm. He felt that.]

Redesigning the house. I want you to look at the basement plans when I'm done.

What's in the bag?

[ The bag inquiry is just going to have to wait because- ]

You want me to look at the basement? Are you gonna lock me up down there or something?

[ The fuck. ]

---I'm trying to design a bedroom and living quarters to accommodate your sun sensitivity.

[ ... ]

Oh. That's... thanks.

[ Yep. To which he just... awkwardly stands there, fingers fiddling with the straps of the bag he holds. ]

I... just got some things. You know. Gloves. Sunglasses.

May I see?

[He turns entirely to face Trevor, stirring at the bowl.]

[ Well, he already took the gloves and sunglasses out on the table there so if Alucard is trying to call his bluff that's... yeah. So, after a moment and letting his gaze drift about, he reaches into the bag and pulls out a white wolf figure about the size of his palm. It's carved from white marble and its eyes are gold. It's a little heavy in weight and beautifully crafted. Trevor holds it out, clearing his throat as he glances AROUND them. ]

This... is for you.

[OH.

Oh.....................

oh.

Alucard goes very still. He has to remind himself that he's making medicine, and that there's a bowl in his arm. He has to remind himself to put the bowl down on the counter before he takes the little figure from Trevor, holding it as if it's made of glass. Obviously it isn't, but there's just.

Just a lot going on at once.]

Thank you. I--

He's just going to. Smooch the Belmont. Because words are hard.]

[ Trevor is absolutely NOT good with this whole showing your feelings thing and he still sometimes has no fucking clue if what he's doing is right or wrong or just stupid. But the wolf had reminded him of the blond and with everything that's gone on as of late... maybe he just thought it a nice gesture for Alucard to have something. To know that he was being thought of despite a certain Belmont getting worse as each day goes by.

So the kiss is not exactly surprising but it still has his breath catch in the back of his throat for a moment before he settles into it and a hand gently comes up to press cool fingers to the back of the blond's neck. Needless to say, he lets the kiss happen softly. ]

I'm going to die soon.

[ Words he mumbles gently against Alucard's lips before he sighs and lets his forehead press to the blond's, eyes shut, fingers gently stroking against the nape of his bonded's neck. ]

[Alucard pulls back slowly. They have to have this discussion, but they can't be sucking face while doing it. His hand closes around the little wolf, as if that might be a little bit more helpful.]

We've been thinking the same thing.

[Himself and Sypha, he means. Alucard sighs, and he uses his free hand to take Trevor's.]

We want to make you comfortable when it happens. Let you control as much as you can. And we'll both be here when you wake.

I figured.

[ That they would be discussing it, if not thinking the same thing that he himself is. However, a perk with a hunter turning into a vampire? At least he has an idea of what to expect save for the minute differences between the ones they both know and of the vampires of this world. ]

I'm guessing it'll be more or less the same with waking with how we know it to be. A frenzied sort of confusion. Probably thirsty as shit. I'm just... not sure what part of me changes, if anything at all.

[ If the humanity within him might slip away or weaken and the monster/vampire side of him becomes more dominant. More in control. ]

Can we... I don't know... sit down or something? I feel tired.

[ Weak. ]

Yes. Go in the living room, I'll finish this salve and meet you there. I'll just be a minute.

[The wolf? The wolf goes into his trousers pocket for now, and Alucard returns to his bowl.]

[ With a gentle hum and a reluctant slip of his fingers from Alucard's, Trevor slowly makes his way to the couch in the living room and drops himself down onto it with a sigh. His head knocks back, eyes lazily staring to the ceiling, and he feels as if he could fall asleep just like this until nightfall rouses him.

But instead, he whines to himself as he hunches over and begins the slow task of removing his boots, letting them drop one at a time before he flops over onto the couch on his side and lets his eyes fall shut. Breathing slow. Hand touching the floor. Wondering how much longer he has like this. ]

[True to his word, Alucard comes back out after only a moment more. He's still carrying the bowl, and when he sits, he sits next to Trevor and then the bowl is put on the opposite side.

He looks miserable. There's still days left.]

Give me your hands? They look burnt as well.

[ It takes him a moment to fully register that Alucard is here and speaking to him but when he does, he turns to lay on his back and holds his hands out as asked, strands of brown hair in front of his face. ]

Can you... give me your finger after?

[Alucard takes the time to brush Trevor's hair back into place first. It looks terrible, and he knows it's just a sign of things to come. Hates that he knows it, because he's far too used to living with vampires.

Satisfied, he takes a handful of the salve and rubs it over the burns. It should, if he did it right, come with an immediate sense of cooling.]

For blood?

[He wants to be sure.]

[ He hums to confirm Alucard's inquiry and sighs a bit when he feels how cool the backs of his hands suddenly feel. That's... nice. Really, it is. ]

I don't want to feed. Just a lick.

[ He's too fucking tired to feed even if he wanted to. ]

Very well.

[Trevor's face next. Alucard's careful as he rubs more of the salve over the burns there.]

If you're worried about a frenzy, we can restrain you and have blood on hand. That isn't hard for either of us.

[ When the salve touches his cheeks he sighs, but in a way that shows how much he appreciates the coolness. It feels nice. As if his entire body is the same temperature again.

Alucard's words, however, get him to chuckle some. Soft as it is. ]

Have to be pretty damn strong restraints against full-blooded vampire strength.

[ A beat. ]

I'd suggest silver but that might just aggravate me more with the pain.

No silver. We'll have something metal, keep it padded, and then there's Sypha.

[Alucard knows it isn't comforting, but it is ruthlessly practical. He keeps rubbing at Trevor's face even after he's done applying the salve that needs to be there. Just touching.]

You'll want us there, of course.
