Vash decides he's going to do just that, if only to drive the image of a night sky filled with molten shrapnel from his mind's eye.
As Ain curls up against him, Vash- instead of just sitting up- decides to allow himself to sink down a little further, just enough so that he can turn to face Ain. And instead of being conservative with his contact, he wraps both arms around him, pressing his face into the side of his neck for a moment so he can just...breathe. He counts every breath in, and every breath out, just like Luida used to teach him. Rem never had to teach Vash such things, because Vash had only been an innocent child, not yet tainted by the world. All of that went out the window, once they crashed onto Earth.
His breathing, previously a little too shallow and uneven to be fruitful, eventually evens out. It slows to a more normal pace, and with his good hand pressing in between Ain's wings, Vash tilts his head back so he can look at Ain's face. It's midday, so the room is quite well lit for how they've been sleeping all day...making it that much easier to see him.]

...your eyes are pretty.
[He finally mumbles, muffled into Ain's collar.]
