For a moment there you looked like you don't believe me.
[He nuzzles into Vincent, before pressing a soft kiss to his neck.]
I would do the same, you're right. And I do believe that you can move on from your past. [He smiles.] If you need a guide, then a wandering star may prove useful. [Another soft laugh.] Of course if you can accept that stars aren't perfect either. They get carried by emotions, they make mistakes and they can be selfish in many ways.
[ Beneath Aether’s lips, Vincent breathes a sigh of ease. ]
No, I don’t doubt you, little star. Nor do I believe that those qualities make you any less. [ Absentmindedly, he wraps some of those wispy strands around his fingers. ] Merely multifaceted, and that makes your glimmer all the brighter.
[If he could only pull more of those sounds from the man... But that has to wait. Aether gives a small sigh at the massage, then closes his eyes, relaxing.]
I always feel appreciated by you.
[He definitely does.]
Let's... nap together for a bit, okay? I like sleeping by your side.
[ Smile widening just the slightest, he hums in agreement. It’s some comfort to know that he can offer Aether that much, for he values the other’s company, and believes that he only deserves well. ]
Mm, of course. You must be exhausted.
[ To the suggestion, Vincent allows one arm to settle along the petite man’s shoulders, while their interlocked hands remain tucked securely between their chests. ]
We don’t often enough. Let’s make a habit of it, hm?

You’d only do the same for me, I think - and more, if today has been any indication.
[ Nuzzling into the softness of the other’s hair, he hums with some content. ]
I do sometimes feel that I could be better around you, however. That much is true.

[But isn't that also what makes him human?]

That's good. [He smiles against Vincent's skin.]
As long as you see me this way... I don't think I need to change.

I’m pleased to hear it. You ought to be appreciated as you are, I know that I certainly do.

I'd like that. You can visit me as much as you like for all the naps. I'll even get a nice, big bed for that.
[He chuckles, then his eyes open for a brief moment to look at his partner and brush a soft kiss to his lips.]
Rest well.
