[ when he feels adolphe move, he also looks back up and then laughs a little bit. there's a little burst of warmth in his chest as he lets his arm loop across adolphe's chest to give him a loose hug ]
But I mean your afterlife too...! Even if I'll always be here.
[ Adolphe thinks about it. He's been spoiled with affections by Yves ever since they met here again. He's really been taking that for granted, hasn't he. Typical of himself, but he's here to make Yves happy if he can. He wishes he could agree with Yves about Adolphe being the best as he is already. It never feels enough.
[ He accepts the world's most annoying boomerang... this is getting too sappy for him to handle on a sober day, so he just helps Yves make himself comfortable again. ]
... It would be nice if things were as they were again.
He should be touched, but don't make him think he went through that for nothing!! It's not like he can blame Yves though. He must have been really lonely, and for him to keep saying that he missed him so much and all that, he...
... feels something well up in his heart. ]
... Sorry, for making you feel alone all this time.
annoyingly pulls at adolphe's cheeks for a second—a little reprimanding pinch before he relaxes again ]
But you're the one who makes me happy. You're the one who makes me feel reassured. The only one around here who can make me feel safe with just a word.
[ lucas is also quite good at it—but adolphe truly takes the least effort to calm yves's nerves when he's such an emotional person ]
If I miss you the most, it's just because I loved you that much. And I'd never choose to love you any less.
[ Yves and love go hand in hand, Adolphe thinks. This is why he really can't get angry or swat Yves's hands away when he pinches his cheeks. What does it mean to feel special in a way that he doesn't hate? He's still struggle to come to terms with it, which is why his encounters with Elysia make him wary when she insists that he's suddenly worthy of things that he doesn't feel like he deserves. It's like being gaslit with imposter syndrome and he doesn't know what to do with himself.
But to hear these words from Yves, he feels like he can believe them just a little more. Adolphe tries to muster the mental preparation and courage to speak. ]
[ Adolphe's chao picks a great time to interrupt him, by which, no it's horrible. The chao makes some baby babbling sounds before it tries to climb up Yves's pant leg. ]

Well even I'd feel a little hurt if you liked someone as much as me in two weeks even if I guess I'd be happy....
no subject
Don't you start saying that. I heard it enough from Ceres.
no subject
I'm not saying you need to change. You're already the best as you are.
I just hope that you find more people you can enjoy life with... but if you're already having a good time, then I won't say you need more.

[ He turns to look over at Yves now with a small smile.
With you. ]

You don't have to. I was just thinking... I'm lucky to have you here.

You mean like... how they were back home?
[ before everything went wrong? ]
no subject
[ Like how Yves and Ceres were in mutual love. How Yves developed over the passage of time. He was truly happy for them both. ]
no subject
[ he sounds baffled because everything in his life went fucking wrong after adolphe died ]
no subject
[ Then went insane about it, but he won't say that. ]
no subject
That is sweet to hear but... Ceres loves Scien so much in my timeline, and the same for him to her.
[ so it's not like he can linger much on that idea ]
And if it leads to a situation where you die over it, I think... I can live without that specific love.

but yves just
places both of his hands on either side of adolphe's face ]
It's not your fault.
no subject
He can't tell if it's Yves's hands that are warm or if his cheeks are. ]
It isn't, but... still. I don't want to be the one that makes you sad.

Hi, buddy. Adolphe, what'd you name it?
