[Maybe Aether has lived so long that he's learned to just enjoy life and people he meets no matter what fate throws at him.
He grins at Vanitas' expression, content that he managed to cast the sadder thoughts aside. They don't need that, especially not now when they should be just enjoying one another's presence.]
Exactly. [He says with a firm nod.] Just like you can't get rid of stars in the sky.
[He admires his companion's small smile for a moment, thinking to himself that this is how he always wants to see Vanitas - just happy and bright, not suffering or saddened. Aether reaches to him and brushes a strand of hair away from the other's face.]
[Just goes to show you that personality and temperament play a huge role in how one perceives their situation and standing in the world. If Vanitas were able to live long enough, perhaps his own attitude would reverse and he would enjoy life like Aether. Alas, that's unlikely to be.
For now, however, he's happy to let such sorrows pass from his mind. Aether always brings a brightness to the proceedings; it would be a damn shame to ruin that.]
Heh... There's no fighting a celestial body, after all.
[The simple yet tender gesture is one which leaves him with eyes half closed as he savors the touch, so near and yet so far from what he craves. He laughs, the sound light and airy in the quiet room.]
That I do. One to always show me the way when I get lost...

Well, now you have your personal star.
