Rick didn't answer to that question since his mind was in chaos due to what was happening with his body. It seemed almost like he didn't hear the question.. or didn't understand it.

Vincent blinked when he didn't get a response and instead just ran his fingers through Rick's hair gently to give Rick some comfort. "We both need a bath...maybe a hot shower." he said softly.

Rick just shuddered and then whimpered, covering his ears. This time he heard Vincent but his voice was so loud that it hurt. Closing his eyes some small part of him tried to get a hold of everything but it was impossible, at least for now.

Vincent carried Rick in his arms as he stood up and he walked out of the room into the bathroom, still covered in his own blood in his lower extremities and down his legs even after the wound had closed. He laid Rick down in the bathtub before starting up the water after plugging the drain and he got into the tub with the new vampire.

As they were sitting in the bathtub Rick was slowly getting back to being his normal self. He still was quite overwhelmed by all those sounds and smells being all around him but it wasn't as bad as ealier.
"What.. what the fuck..", he said and then paused, flinching as his own voice was sounding strange to him.

Vincent wrapped an arm around Rick gently and he rubbed Rick's side gently. "Your hearing is sensitive now...you can hear things much farther and clearer." he said softly.

"I know!", he yelled, only to whimper and hide his face into other's chest while plugging up his ears.

Vincent ran his fingers through Rick's hair gently and in a comforting manner. He didn't say anything further because he knew Rick's ears were overly sensitive. Even a whisper would be painful. He instead started washing Rick's body tenderly with a loofa and some body wash.

He didn't try to speak anymore after that and let the warm hands wash his body while he tried to calm down. Anger wasn't a good addition to everything that was happening right now, he knew that much.

Vincent continued washing the human, able to do so up and down since the water was still low enough that he had access down below Rick's waist and he turned Rick around to wash down his back slowly.

Rick sighed softly and relaxed. He wasn't able to fall asleep but yet he calmed down and was able to fight off a bit of his anxiety about the new and strange situation he was in.

"I can feel you relaxing...you'll adjust rather slowly. It takes awhile to get used to. Later, I'll take you up to the roof to show you how much you can hear and see now." Vincent said softly as he set the loofa aside and he wetted Rick's hair to start washing it.

Rick flinched as the other male spoke up but still it wasn't so bad since it was said in a soft tone of voice.
"Why did you do that?", he whispered, wanting to know the reason even if he knew he would enjoy those changes later on.

"I lost it...I lost too much blood and my feral instincts came over. I couldn't control it and keep the substance from going into your veins, the substance that turned you...but, I'm glad. We can be together forever now." Vincent said softly.

"Ok... but what makes you believe that we would be together for so long? That we won't hate each other?", he asked quietly, still not liking how it all felt inside his ears.

Vincent lowered his hands and started rinsing off Rick's hair and he chuckled softly. "Well...do you doubt it at this point? As far as we've come, you really think anyone else is going to handle our craziness?"

"Y...you're too loud...", he said, sighing. "And... I'm not as crazy as you... though maybe you are right.."

Vincent remained silent as he finished up rinsing Rick's hair, then he turned Rick towards him. "Want to wash me, or do I have to do it myself?" he asked teasingly.

"I'm not sure if I can move... My body feels quite funny... It's hard to describe it..", he muttered, sighing.

Vincent smiled and he leaned forward to kiss Rick's cheek before pulling back slowly. "That's alright...you sit there and relax and I'll wash up real quick."

After nodding his head he let the other male do what he wanted. He just simply didn't feel able to move right now. Well.. it wasn't like he couldn't but more like his body changed it wouldn't be a good idea to try and move. It wasn't safe. That was at least feeling he was getting right now.

Vincent started washing himself off with the loofa and some soap, then he washed his own hair with shampoo and rinsed himself off. He then unplugged the drain and got out with Rick to take him back to the bedroom with a towel and he laid Rick down on the sheets to start drying him off gently.

The dark haired male didn't say anything. He just stayed where he was and let the other male do what he wanted to do. Sighing softly he closed his eyes, just wanting to fall asleep.

"You can't sleep yet...I still have something to show you and it will be sun-up soon." Vincent said softly as he continued drying Rick off.

"But... isn't thing about vampires and sun a legend..? You were out when the sun was still up..", he whispered, still flinching at his own voice.

"Maybe...I guess I've forgotten that I'm not at all like normal vampires." Vincent replied softly with a chuckle as he got Rick dressed.

"Normal vampires?", he asked, frowning as he let the other male to dress him up.

Vincent pulled away from Rick and started drying himself off. "You know, what people normally think of vampires. That we're allergic to garlic and sparkle like a Christmas Tree in the sunlight." he said playfully.

"It got from... mhm..", he paused as the world swirled before his eyes and then continued. ".. because most humans are afraid of night. Since... we... fuck...."
He paused once more, trying to get a hold of his senses.
".. since we see everything (or so we think) in a day light more and our habits of the Stone Age are still there....", stopping once more he growled softly. "Fuck. I fucking hate you.."
Even if his wounds were healing now, though way slower than Vincent's since he was a new vampire, and his body ached less he still wasn't alright with someone deciding about his future for him.

Vincent chuckled softly hearing that and slowly walked over after he finished dressing himself before he gathered Rick in his arms. "Shhh...no fussing. Your brain is just trying to register everything that's happening to you." he said softly as he carried Rick out of the room and down the hall toward the apartment door. He then carried Rick out of the apartment and up to the roof through the fire escape.

Rick hid his face in other's chest as the air brushing against his skin was irritating him. Sighing softly he had some things to say back but he was just way too overhelmed with everything and it slowly disappeared from his mind.
"Fucker..", he muttered only.

"I love you too." Vincent replied with a chuckle as he walked out onto the roof slowly with Rick in his arms and he had Rick stand on his feet, helping Rick stand up straight with his hands on Rick's arms and he had Rick face the roof edge to look out at the view of the town.

Rick was about to say something more when they went out on the roof. His new sharp senses kicked in once again making him whimper. Though he didn't really have strenght to oppose so soon he was standing and facing all of it. As he opened his eyes he was fascinated and the same time really overwhelmed with everything he could see, smell and hear. It was just way too much for him.. but yet he did want to take it all in.

Vincent stayed standing behind him and gently rubbed Rick's arms gently while he stared at the new vampire. "Just take it all in...focus on what you can feel, what you can see, smell, and hear. Just close your eyes and concentrate. This is what my mother did when she turned me." he said softly.

Rick gasped and tried to escape but those hands holding him didn't budge. Soon he closed his eyes and tried to get a hold of it all. It took him some time, and a lot of failed escapes, but he soon was breathing slower while being able to separate all the noises coming to him. It was still really hard.. but not overwhelming anymore.

Vincent smiled feeling that Rick was breathing more slowly and evenly and he pressed the side of his head affectionately against Rick's while he kept his arms around the black-haired male, having to do so to keep Rick from escaping him and possibly hurting himself.

The other reason for Vincent holding Rick was his knees being all wobbly.
"Uh.. Let's go inside. I have enough..", he muttered, after a while. "Would it be always so damn loud? Those noises? Right now I have a deep desire to kill the every screaming asshole..."

Vincent nodded and he picked Rick up again with ease, carrying him back inside to the apartment and he closed the door with his foot. He then carried him back to the bedroom and laid Rick down on the bed. "You go ahead and lay down...I need to clean the floor."

"What for? You said you life in this creepy place because you didn't care..", he muttered, not remembering exactly what was said ealier.

"Well, I would rather not smell my own blood for the next few weeks." Vincent teased with a grin towards the tired male. "You can go ahead and sleep while I clean up."
