[Good, because that's what Vash is getting. He's getting a song, sung softly so that he can fall asleep wrapped in Ain's arms and a wing awkwardly sticking out from underneath the stolen jacket.
Ain has two modes with his vocalizations: Bird noises, and actual fucking singing like a human person would do. The difference between him and a human person is obvious enough, but he's a songbird pet — by default he has a nice singing voice, and he's used it in the past to make some spare change when stealing wasn't the best option.
Nowadays, Ain mostly uses it to coax Vash to sleep, singing whatever songs come to mind — things he's heard on the streets in their travels or things he's just made up on the spot. He tries to keep quiet, not out of respect for their neighbours who Ain will decide to hate in a few hours, but so he can keep singing long after Vash is asleep and make double-sure he's not going to wake up any time soon.
This is their bedtime ritual most nights. Vash is too high-strung to sleep, Ain is too anxious to function, but if Vash doesn't sleep it's Somehow Worse than if Ain doesn't. Ain will be fine.
So he sings. He sings, and keeps singing long after Vash conks out.]
