[ Oh? Trevor lets Alucard guide his touch, settling his hand flat against the other man's skin for more contact. He isn't sure he believes this helps the sting at all -- the opposite seems far more likely, but that doesn't mean it isn't in an enjoyable way. ]
Is that so? Then it would be cruel of me in turn to deny you relief.
[ Shifting a half step closer he brings his other hand up too, this caress beginning low on Alucard's stomach and moving up toward his flank. ]
[ He'd be wrong then. Despite touching the burnt marks left behind by the silver rope, the touch of Trevor's hand soothed him all the same. It might have been all in his head, as there was nothing healing about Trevor's touch, not technically, but the kindness and care behind it meant something more. ]
It would be awfully cruel of you, yes.
[ Trying not to smile too much, Alucard leans into Trevor's hands. Inhaling as those big strong hands smoothed across him, swallowing before talking again as he took one of those hands and moved it up, slowly until it was set against his chest. ]
Here.
[ Tilting his head as he said it, letting Trevor feel his slow beating heart. ]

Does my pride count?
