[ adolphe... you are so cute... yves will just let his head pillow on adolphe's shoulder again as he looks up at him ]

Mm... then I'm sorry I kept you waiting even that long.

I'm here now.

I know.

[ He's quiet about it, but that's because. ]

You always are, now.

[ Yves's route was... quite something. There's comfort in knowing that Yves is right by his side, even if he's not the same one that Adolphe had given his life for. He's not coughing blood, neither are fighting Bourreau... They're not "alive" but they're well. For the most part. And that's enough to be grateful for. ]

[ he laughs, because he can't read adolphe's brackets ]

Are you going to say that you're gonna get tired of me eventually? This is what Hugo had to put up with, you know.

It's not like I don't know what you're like. I'm aware. Despite everything, I would never get tired of you.

[ For... many reasons. ]

[ . . . he does think that's true. he was just teasing and joking, but it still warms his heart to hear. wouldn't it be nice if they could just stay like this?

(some ache in his heart does whisper: wouldn't it be nice if they could be a little bit more? no, he shouldn't take anymore from adolphe than he already has ) ]

"Despite," he says... [ still amused, laughing. well. that's fair. yves is a pain, and sometimes he is one on purpose to adolphe ]

... but I do think you know me best of everyone here. [ second best only to hugo ] So... it's amazing to me that you can still say that.

I still wish you could stop being so reckless, but you know better than everyone that if I didn't really care about you, I wouldn't keep saying that.

[ Please stop moving when people tell you that you're bleeding. Yves!!!! ]

... But I don't think it's really that amazing. It's who you are, and you still deserve to be loved like anybody else. Nothing makes you exempt from that.

[ He says this, but Adolphe is always a hypocrite when it comes to himself. He doesn't think that anyone would love him at all, nor does he deserve anything like that, despite Yves being right here, in front of him, offering that love to him. Things like that can't go away overnight, but it persistently clings to him. Yves is a better person than he'll ever be, and that's fine. That's why he entrusted Ceres to him, after all. Even if this one isn't the same Yves that he died for, it's still Yves. Nothing more, nothing less. ]

It's true, you'd just leave me in the dust!

[ DOES NOT CONFIRM OR DENY WHETHER HE'S GOING TO KEEP BEING RECKLESS but he laughs a little to himself even as adolphe goes on. he says it with such confidence. and because it's adolphe, it's easier for yves to believe. so he smiles back and doesn't hide the warmth and affection in his expression. ]

So you won't get tired of me because I deserve to be loved? [ does that mean you'll be the one to love me? is on the tip of his tongue, but there are limits to how much he'll tease. and hope. ]

Can't I say the same thing to you?

I won't get tired of you, because it's you, Yves.

[ That's all he'll say about it!! He looks a bit exasperated when Yves tries to turn it around on him though. Does Adolphe think he, himself, deserves to be loved? Hell no. lmao. ]

[ not the exasperated face again

yves just laughs then and reaches up to pull at adolphe's cheek once more ]

Then I'll always stay with you, because you're you—and I love you, Adolphe.

[ Those last words should do something to him, but he doesn't let himself. Yves loves everybody. Why should Adolphe feel special in that regard? Because he loves him more than the others? There's an ugly emotion that swirls from within. What is it like to feel special, to feel exclusive to someone in a way that he can also accept? He was always "special" while being so normal, and he hated it. He was "special" while being so ordinary that no one wanted him.

Useless.

You'll never be good enough.

Die miserable and alone.

It's what you deserve.

So Adolphe accepts Yves's love in the only way he knows how—platonically, despite what they've done earlier this week. The cheek that's pulled makes Adolphe smile a little wryly. ]

Shtop that.

[ he can't quite put his finger on it but it feels like adolphe isn't really listening to him

so his hand comes up to the other cheek and pulls again

annoying guy ]

[ me like I can't tell which guy you're referring to they're both annoying in different ways

Though with the other cheek pulled, he flicks Yves's forehead. Stop!! ]

[ i would never call adolphe annoying he's perfect ]

Ack.

[ it doesn't hurt but he is scolded enough to let go, even though he's clearly pouting about it. he loops his arms around adolphe's shoulders in a hug instead and leans against him but now it's a little menacing ]

I just think you're not really believing me... and if I'm not getting through to you yet, that's okay.

But I will. Eventually.

[ AND THAT'S A THREAT ]

[ A menacing hug...

Adolphe still listens to Yves though. It's really hard to shake something that's been ingrained into you since you were extremely young, but they all have their hangups, like how Yves has worries about his face scar. So he understands a little, when he feels like something isn't getting through. ]

Eventually, huh?

[ It would be nice if that could come to pass, he thinks. He could stop feeling guilty for once. He could stop feeling so worthless for once. He could feel... needed. ]

I look forward to it, then. But don't move around too much. You're still recovering from a massive hangover.

It's not that bad... It's been a long time since I barfed on you, I won't do that again.

[ the way yves is so barely saved from being the messiest drunk in the world by the grace of hugo and also god ]

But yeah, eventually. [ he'll rest his head against adolphe again then if he's going to pester yves about not moving so much. he will get comfortable right here ] You're stubborn but I'm worse.

[ don't sound so proud of it ]

[ Thanks. He didn't want to remember that ever again! Thank god for hugo, honestly. He's so unappreciated.

And yeah, those words right out of his mouth-- ]

Don't sound so proud about it.

[ He bumps his head with Yves's. Stop this. ]

[ hehehehoho ]

I can't let you have your way...

[ accepts the bump with a lil smile ]

... If it's just for this, then I'll eventually concede.

[ He says quietly. ]

You should concede to me in other ways.

[ ok brat!! but he's clearly just teasing, smile bright with adolphe's little confession. this is all he wants.

for his best friend to fully comprehend how much he's loved, if absolutely nothing else ]

But I'll take what I can get, one at a time.

[ Adolphe wants to do something right here and now, but he thinks it wouldn't be wise. Unfortunately, he's reasonable, so he just lightly pats the top of Yves's head.

And becomes unaware that he suddenly sprouts wolf ears and tail that just swishes behind him. ]

[ haki said REMEMBER TRANSFORMATION WEEK?

yves's entire expression lights up ]

Wait wait, Adolphe, look! [ brings one hand up to try to pet his ears? pET? PET BIG WOLF? ]

[ more like transformation week is the only thing I can still play with the backdated living threads help

Adolphe doesn't get to process what Yvessays until he feels a hand on his ear and he shakes his head on reflex. AAAAAAAAA that felt so weird ]

[ lAUGHS aaaaaa yves is just a menace so he pulls his hand back again but is clearly lying in wait ]

Hold on, hold still, you look so soft.

[ The tail swishes in slight wariness and agitation, but... Adolphe holds still. He's more prepared this time, so he won't freak out. Maybe. Probably. ]

What happened...

[ He can take a guess, but he also can't see the top of his own head and hasn't turned around to see the tail. ]
