[ The look on Vanitas' face makes Noé feel more tender in comparison, relaxed and at ease knowing that they have a solid mutual understanding of one another. He leans in to kiss Vanitas' forehead before tucking his head under his chin again. He's so in tune with what the other needs now and he's willing to provide it. ]
Should we get some proper rest? We've had a long day.
[ He'll cling to Vanitas again, he's sure, but having his lover here makes dealing with the bad dreams so much more bearable. ]
[Once again Vanitas is reminded how lucky he is, how blessed, to be loved by someone so sweet and understanding. A person who truly completes him in every sense that matters. With Noé nestled against him, he sighs happily, wishing that speaking his mind and heart came easier to him.]
Yes, I think so. You can rest easy; I won't be going anywhere.
[Just in case Noé was worried that he might wander off to go roof-sitting again. He might get the urge, but this time he'll ignore it in favor of staying with his lover.]
[That's... probably not entirely true. All too often he remains up late, thinking too much, dwelling on things. But he doesn't believe Noé knows that, given how early the vampire usually sleeps.]
Don't be afraid to hug me, if you need to. I've noticed how you cling to your pillow.

[ And he means that. He'll be content – as much as he can be – as long as Vanitas is here tonight. On that note, however... ]
...You'll get sleep, too, right?

[ He is blissfully unaware of Vanitas' poor sleeping habits, but he will take him up on that offer to cling to him, thank you very much. ]
I think I'll do just that, so don't be surprised, okay?
[ He settles in a little more before pulling up the blankets so they're over both of them. He holds Vanitas close and tangles their legs together. ]
Good night, Vani.

[Once again not worrying about himself... How can he, when Noé so clearly needs him?]
I won't. I won't mind, either. Just don't squish me with your vampiric strength, okay?
[He teases, happy to be so ensconced with his lover and finally feeling warm.]
Good night, Noé.
