[ Adolphe thinks Yves is talking about growing old with just Claude, so he's like. Hm. His hair is being played with, but his thoughts are too preoccupied by how terrible his early childhood was.
… there’s a lot of wars in different places, from what I can tell. I’ve asked for a few different options, but other people have advised me against their worlds, even if they’d love to have us otherwise.
[ isn’t it crazy how that works out ]
But… that’s fair. Claude said that his home isn’t easy either. I just…
[ He briefly closes his eyes. I think they're both still lying down on the bed?? So this sort of gesture is really intimate, he thinks. But it's fine. It's Yves. Just Yves. ]
... That's the "home is where the heart is", isn't it?
[ Adolphe thinks that would be nice, but he doesn't think he would ever have all of it. (fastforward to them making out after the confession) He just smiles a little. ]
[ and he'll lift himself up but he will annoyingly drop a big exaggerated smooch to adolphe's hair before climbing out of the bed ]
Let me borrow some pajamas? I have to return these to Claude. [ EVERY TIME I JUST CASUALLY WRITE SOMETHING I GUESS IT'S FAIR FOR ADOLPHE TO BE JEALOUS ] I'll grab my own clothes tomorrow.
[ Okay but Adolphe is reasonable, because Yves didn't have time to go shopping. He still feels it a little, but it's vastly outweighed by logic. Thank fuck. ]
Sure. They're in the closet. Take whichever one you want.
[ his closet is boring... apart from some clothes he wore at parties and the one yves sent him. ]

I can see it now... politician Yves.
[ He thinks Yves would be a really bad one...... ]
no subject
I would be so bad at it.
no subject
[ lmao ]
I know I would be bad at it too, but you're on a different level.
no subject
I think it’s hard to be good at it. That’s what makes Claude so amazing.
[ but he’ll just keep playing with Adolphe’s hair ]
There is a war to consider and there’s stuff we’ve never dealt with like wyverns but… there’s farms. Swords. People who age past 23.
I think we could make it work.
no subject
Adolphe goes quiet at that. All he remembers is being miserable, and he's not sure if he wants to subject an even worse side of humanity to Yves. ]
So did you want to primarily help Claude with his situation there?
no subject
[ another beat, and he occupies his time briefly with playing with adolphe’s hair ]
But I want a place where we can adapt and grow old together even more than that.
[ they’re not even together yet but he says shit like this ]
no subject
........ ]
Right. Nobles have advantages, don't they?
no subject
Hm? Oh, I mean, I guess so? Claude could probably help us secure some land for a farm for you and help me if I wanted to open up Courrune again…
I would want to make sure to repay him but I’m sure if I ask nicely we can at least get help…
no subject
[ Fine. He just says it. ]
I don't doubt that we can receive help for anything else, but it's just...
[ devastating. ]
no subject
[ isn’t it crazy how that works out ]
But… that’s fair. Claude said that his home isn’t easy either. I just…
[ don’t want to say goodbye. ]
… mm. Well, I won’t be selfish.
no subject
[ He lightly bonks his head. ]
If you think you can handle it, then you should go. Be selfish.
[ But
He just says "you". Not "we" nor "us". ]
no subject
he is just going to grab onto the collar of adolphe’s shirt then and immediately: ]
I’m not going anywhere without you.
no subject
... Maybe we should talk about this later.
no subject
But I’m going to say the same thing.
[ stubbornly ]
no subject
[ He knows, Yves. Don't worry about that. ]
It's me. I need to think it through.
no subject
... then take your time. As long as you go somewhere that I can follow, I will.
Just know that. I'm more certain than ever that you're where I wanna be.
no subject
... That's the "home is where the heart is", isn't it?
no subject
but he's amused ]
So my heart is with you? I guess so.
[ he just thinks it'd be nice if adolphe's was with him, too ]
no subject
Alright. It's time for bed, so go to bed.
[ Your bed. ]
no subject
[ and he'll lift himself up but he will annoyingly drop a big exaggerated smooch to adolphe's hair before climbing out of the bed ]
Let me borrow some pajamas? I have to return these to Claude. [ EVERY TIME I JUST CASUALLY WRITE SOMETHING I GUESS IT'S FAIR FOR ADOLPHE TO BE JEALOUS ] I'll grab my own clothes tomorrow.

no subject
Don't mind if I do!
[ but he will probably just grab whatever looks comfiest. hehe yippee. i think we can close this thread out wow the pre-kissing adoyves era is over ]
