Heart aching, near to overwhelmed, but overwhelmed is a natural state of being, and there are worser versions to be overcome by, certainly. Lightless darkness and they could be anywhere, any time, and there is just enough of a thread of awareness to prevent Lestat doing what his impulse would have him do, which is take Louis' face in his hand and kiss him thoroughly.
No, that would break something, and it isn't actually what he wants the most. What he wants the most is what he has right now. He's just being greedy.
Still.
No reserve in the way he tangles himself up with Louis as he settles, drawing them in close together. Lingers there, in these minutes of consciousness, to enjoy the nearness, the comforting quiet, the way he senses comfort in Louis as well, before finally giving over to a sun already sinking in the sky.
