[ It is hard for him to speak when the words he wishes to say seem to get caught and tangled up before he can even say them, but her gentle touches and the way she brushes his hair threatens to completely undo all concentration and power of speech. Still, he does not wish for her to stop, as his only desire is to be touched and held like this, and to hold her in return. ]

I know that I made a mistake in hiding away from you and by refusing to let you care for me. [ He has to navigate through the guilt he feels for his misstep to properly express what is on his mind. ] I do not know how to accept help, especially the kind of help that would have me feeding off you. I- I cannot see it as anything but causing you harm in order to sustain my needs, and that is what I cannot reconcile.

[ But he is not finished just yet, and before he continues speaking, he reaches out to touch her face and lightly strokes her soft skin. ]

I love you, and if I truly care about you, then I should no longer refuse the care you offer me a sign of love. [ He tilts his head just slightly to meet her gaze, hoping that she sees the sincerity in his gaze but the uncertainty as well. Warming up to the idea of feeding off her will take time, but he is willing to put in the effort. ]

It seems that I have much to learn about how to let you in. [ His instinct was to tell her he does not need assistance cleaning the rats, as he is the one who makes the mess, but that too falls under the category of something she can help him with. ]

And... I will never ask you to leave, nor wish that you would. [ He leans in once more so he can brush his lips against the side of her face. After a moment's pause, he adds: ]

And I would do the same. [ What good would a life be without her? She who seems to complete him in every way, even with the knowledge of who and what he is. They must be fated to be together, because who else would even give one such as him a second thought? It is the hand of fate, but also love that keeps them together.

He may have to continue to remind himself of this from time to time, but he is beginning to believe what she seems to be so confident of. ]
