[ 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. ]
[ 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.
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.
[ 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. ]
[ 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. ]
[ Adolphe is not used to being pet like this at all. Maybe when he was younger? From Salome? But other than that? He's pretty stiff about it. Yves is unfortunately not an exception, but he endures the petting.
The wolf ears... actually feel more coarse than soft and it'll be the same with the tail. ]
[ His protests are cut off by Adolphe just... leaning into Yves's hand when he scritches behind the ear. It's not really an affectionate kind of leaning but in a "stopppppppppppppp thaaaaaaat" sort of way where he just fuckin leans all the way to the point that his weight is now on Yves. ]
[ help help help yves is just fucking laughing then, stopping his scritches and letting both his arms come up to catch adolphe and take his weight without toppling over. please their chaos are still sneeping ]
Ahaha, okay, okay, I get it, you didn't like it!!
[ he'll bring his hand up again but this time it's just to run through adolphe's hair soothingly to try to make up for his lil furry experiments ]
[ Their poor chaos... Adolphe reels himself back but only a little as he keeps his head on Yves's shoulder. The ears are pinned back and the tail sways a little with Yves running his fingers through his hair. ]
[ shamelessly, as he takes a page out of adolphe's book and shifts so it's more comfortable for adolphe to lean against his shoulder. normally adolphe is the one taking care of him but yves is also just as practiced in being physically affectionate this way too
continues running his fingers through adolphe's hair as he hums ]
Is it better or worse than being a pitch black void?
Mm... I get it. I think I've been lucky enough to be spared... I'd be a little nervous to see what'd happen to me.
[ i literally couldn't play with the weekly effect because yves would be terrified if his appearance changed without his permission and he'd just have hidden in his room all week ]
Well, you're still Adolphe to me.
[ and he'll let his head rest against adolphe's. cozy ]
no subject
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.
no subject

Shtop that.
no subject
so his hand comes up to the other cheek and pulls again
annoying guy ]
no subject
Though with the other cheek pulled, he flicks Yves's forehead. Stop!! ]

Ack.

[ don't sound so proud of it ]

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. ]
no subject
I can't let you have your way...
[ accepts the bump with a lil smile ]
no subject
[ He says quietly. ]
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
And becomes unaware that he suddenly sprouts wolf ears and tail that just swishes behind him. ]
no subject
yves's entire expression lights up ]
Wait wait, Adolphe, look! [ brings one hand up to try to pet his ears? pET? PET BIG WOLF? ]
no subject
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 ]
no subject
Hold on, hold still, you look so soft.
no subject
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. ]

[ hE'S A WOLF, YVES
but yves will then reach up to try to pet him again... ]
no subject
The wolf ears... actually feel more coarse than soft and it'll be the same with the tail. ]
no subject
You don’t like it? I thought dogs love pets.
[ this is your best friend, yves
changes tactics to try to scritch behind the ear ]

[ This one is a little more embarrassing. He's being perceived. Help. Despite that, he relaxes. ]
