[Even if his senses weren't heightened, he'd likely be able to tell that Yamato's heart is beating faster in this proximity, but then is that really a surprise? His own heartbeat (because yes, his world's vampires are Like This) has picked up as well. And why wouldn't it? He hasn't experienced anything like this (in years? ever?) and it's almost overwhelming.
In other words, we're going to stand here hugging for a truly awkward amount of time. Malice's grip is tight on the back of Yamato's shirt but he's very careful not to crush the poor guy in his grip, and when he eventually realizes he's been doing this for far too long, Malice takes a step back and glances away.]
Uh, thanks. For that.
[...do you say thanks after getting hugged?? What do you do, he has no idea. He might be very slightly pink, but don't worry about it.]
[ Malice isn't the only one who's pretty embarrassed, but Yamato is, as they both know, a good actor and very determined to not let the air continue to be awkward and nervous, so. He puts on a very natural smile and folds his arms over his chest, like it was no big deal or something like that. ]
Heh, you don't have to thank me for that. Just felt like doing it, that's all.
[ Look at him, Mr. Cool Guy over here. Completely unflappable about the whole hugging/cuddling thing. So cool!! So calm and collected!!
(No. He's dying on the inside. Please ignore that he's also pink.) ]
Don't worry about it, it's not your fault. I'll take care of it later.
[ He'd feel bad just throwing it away in front of Malice, after all...but he seems like he's dying, yeah, so Yamato will just keep his space. Keep smiling. ]

You gonna be okay?
no subject
Yeah, 'course.
[Please ignore that he's slowly dying, he doesn't know how to handle physical affection and his own desperate need for it, okay!!!!]
Anyway, uh... Sorry 'bout the wine. I guess I'll just throw out any more random bottles of it I find.

Thanks for the gift, anyway.

[He smiles, though it's a little wry. Thanks for doing your best, Yamato...]
I should probably get goin', though.

[ He'll see Malice off, and once the door's closed...
...he's just going to go and lie down for a bit. ]
