[ laughs! ]

Okay.

[ reaches up to hold adolphe's face in his hands so he can't look away awkwardly ]

Are you in love with me?

[ Oh.

Oh no.

He can't turn his face away and it feels like he got jumpscared. His face turns red and he frowns a little. Ugh........ ]

Why are you asking...

[ adolphe you are so cute... yves' first inclination is truly just So you don't...? and it trickles through his thoughts even though he's polite enough to not say it out loud. his expression softens, but not entirely with disappointment. why is he asking? well you see he's been dead for two days and he's been hit with suckerpunch after suckerpunch. ]

... Ellie said she's in love with me.

Claude says he loves me. [ even if it's not the way I want ]

But someone said I should ask you before assuming that you don't, even though... it's okay if you don't.

[ but because yves isn't really the type to ashamed about his feelings, and because he thinks adolphe also deserves to hear it—]

I love you, though. As my best friend, of course, and... [ he tries to figure out how to word it ] I've never asked for anything more because I didn't think you wanted it. But I love you in every way that a heart can feel love.

You don't have to say it back, though, if you don't feel it.

[ He's not surprised about Elysia. He might have been about Claude if Yves's thought didn't give that away. But he really has to say it—the thing that he's been struggling to tell him for weeks.

But. ]

... My feelings haven't changed, from that day. When I told you them.

[ Which was... the valentine chocolate? Yeah. Wow. Imagine. ]

The chocolates might have made me act that way, but the feelings remained. It's just...

[ I don't want you to love anyone else. ]

... been something I've been thinking about for a long time.

[ okay

despite the fact that yves fucking led with this he has the audacity to just look so shocked right now ]

What? Really?

[ WOW ]

Didn't I say that already... I think I mentioned it at least once in one of my letters.

[ Adolphe looks so tired. Still a tad embarrassed, but manageable. ]

Anyway, what's this about...

So that's—oh! You didn't give me any hints....!!

[ ADOLPHE!!! he's fussy.... ]

[ anyway what is this about

well

he'll just roll his eyes affectionately before closing the space between them with his arms looped around adolphe's neck. he draws him closer just so that yves can press their mouths together in a kiss.

that's what this is about, you dunce ]

[ Oh! It's... a surprise kiss. He should have expected this, but for some reason, he didn't.

But okay. Yves is cute and he's already understood that he could be cute even when he's not doing the conman puppy eyes. He briefly returns the kiss and pulls away, but they're still close. ]

Wait.

[ wait wait wait ]

Why did you bring up Elysia and Claude then?

[ adolphe you are so silly... even then, it makes yves' heart skip a beat to have the kiss returned even though adolphe didn't even have choco beforehand! wow! he's so happy and on cloud 9...

but he tries to focus on the things that adolphe is asking even though his lovestruck brain asks can't we just kiss again? but he'll... behave ]

Oh, well... I mean, I do love them. [ he can't deny that, and yves really isn't prone to lying. ] It's easy for me to say that I won't look for anyone else's love anymore, but I... can't let go of them as easily when I already feel as strongly as I do. I'm sorry if that's not what you want to hear.

[ since it is a big jump from loving everyone but. it's still not quite the level of 'not loving anyone else'. ]

But they kept asking me if I love you... and I do. Ellie told me I should pursue the other people I love, and Claude said I shouldn't give up without being sure.

[ literally they both wingmanned adolphe so hard so he didn't get lost in the sauce ]

So I guess... those conversations made me realize I should just... ask you.

... Oh.

[ Thank you Elysia and Claude. Adolphe feels a little relief, but feels a little anxious again. ]

... This is what you wanted to tell me then? Is there more?

[ He doesn't want to cut off Yves's turn while assuming it's over. ]

[ why are you anxious... yves is over here the happiest he's ever been and adolphe is still anxious ]

What more can I have to say...?

I'm done. What did you want to talk about?

[ the way he was already affectionate and he's only going to be more so now, fingers playing with adolphe's hair as he waits to hear the answer ]

I wouldn't know.

[ He huffs, but then goes quiet as he collects himself. ]

... Before I say it,

[ He gets out a perfect square cut out of duct tape and puts it over Yves's mouth. ]

I don't want to hear a word out of you.

[ He says this in a scolding tone. Adolphe is expecting Yves to say things about what he's about to tell him... most likely stuff he doesn't want to hear. ]

So wait until I'm done. Okay?

[ why do you have so many of these

THOUGHTSHARE IS OUT HERE TO MAKE ADOLPHE'S LIFE HARD but he will at least not verbally say anything? he's obedient and perhaps too calm for someone with duct tape over his mouth as he tilts his head

and then nods ]

[ He just ignores that thought.

Anyway, ]

Jacopo confessed to me. I said I needed some time to figure things out, because I actually did. Not as an excuse.

[ He shoots Yves a Look. ]

First of all, my feelings for you are still true. That has never changed. I'm not letting you go. I don't want to hear about you stepping aside so that Jacopo and I can be together either.

[ Because that is such a Yves thing to do, he thinks. This was what he didn't want to hear. ]

Second, I...

[ His voice gets quieter. ]

... I don't know what to do with having similar feelings for two people. I wouldn't say that they're the same, but they both lead to the same thing.

[ His feelings towards Yves and Jacopo. Love.

He just lets that sink in for a moment before taking off the duct tape with a gentle peel. ]

I'm done.

[ okay

well

he looks a little admonished because stepping aside to let jacopo and adolphe be together is exactly what he told claude he would do in this situation and claude was like 'have you considered not doing that'. once again adolphe is being saved by other people.

but he will be thoughtful about it and put his best friend hat on instead. he brings a hand up to cup adolphe's face and lets his thumb brush over the high curve of his cheekbone ]

... I don't mind. [ just to get this out of the way ] I think that of all things, love is the only really limitless thing in the world. Isn't that wonderful? I'm so happy you found that feeling—and twice over! That's amazing!

If you want to let it grow and see where it goes, I won't stop you. I think it'll make the conversation about where we go at the end a little more complicated, though. [ because they both know they're not going back home, but yves wants to go to claude. and if adolphe wants to go to jacopo... where does that leave them? ] Even then, I think we can make it work.

[ he is optimistic and flexible! ]

I don't want to let you go either, but I won't make you choose. But if he will, I think you need to be prepared for that.

[ because yves is abundantly loving, and for adolphe he is only moreso. anything adolphe wants, he's more than willing to give. however... he knows that other people can struggle with it, and jacopo can be one of those people. ]

[ adolphe: what the fuck is poly

Adolphe stares at Yves for a second and pulls his ear. Get ready for whiplash, boy. ]

Stop trying to make it happen. I told you I didn't want to hear it. I'll figure something out myself, but I thought you deserved to know. Don't make me regret telling you.

[ hUH?

yves looks so startled ]

You love me but you're still treating me this meanly?!

[ AAAA CLOSES HIS EYES ]

What do you mean?! I'm just saying I don't mind if you choose him...!! I'll still be here for you no matter what!

[ You know what. Adolphe lets go of Yves's ear and just kisses him to shut him up. ]

I told you.

[ Their mouths are only an inch apart when he speaks. ]

My feelings haven't changed since then.

[ He knows Yves is going to talk more nonsense, so he gives him another kiss. It's not gentle. ]

[ oh

admittedly being kissed to be quieted is easily one of the best things that yves has ever experienced. he surprised adolphe with the first one, but it's his turn to be taken off-guard as he gasps a little with it but also.

returns the kiss with the type of hungriness you'd expect from someone who has been waiting all their life to love and be loved. would he have put his own feelings aside for adolphe and jacopo? of course. would he still do so now? yes.

but he is so reckless with everything, including his own heart, and so his response is simply to just pull adolphe closer with a helpless little whining noise

I can't win against you. ]

[ Well.

Just like before, it looks like the same thing triggers something in Adolphe's brain because he returns the kiss with the same intensity that Yves gives him. His hand curls on Yves's shoulder and grabs a hold of it tightly, before remembering that he has to reel himself in from being too aggressive. The hold loosens just slightly, but the kiss is of the same strength. ]

[ would you call this adolphe's alpha instinct being triggered

yves doesn't care about being treated aggressively! he kinda likes it! uh oh

well nonetheless, it's a lovely feeling to be wanted. it's a feeling he never thought he'd get to experience. and he thinks it's just as important to show adolphe that same feeling in return. he meets him for kiss after kiss, even though he'll also shift his weight a little to encourage adolphe to move back. were they standing for this conversation? apparently.

but now there's two whole beds in this room and yves doesn't care which one they land on but he will gently push adolphe to have a seat ]

[ maybe but i cant take the word seriously anymore

With Yves's skillful maneuvering, Adolphe ends up having a seat on one of the beds (it's his own). He was about to kiss Yves some more, but the momentum is ruined when he ends up sitting down. Hm. He takes the chance to hold onto Yves's wrist to pull him down onto his lap.

Hello. ]

[ great thinking! that's exactly where yves wanted to be.

he laughs a little with the gesture, even as he straddles adolphe's lap and lets his arms settle around his shoulders. he kisses him again, just because he can, but also tries to find his words ]

What were we talking about? [ he's not making conversation any easier because he's placing a kiss on adolphe's cheek like he just can't help himself ] You know, I think you still haven't said the words I'm looking for...

[ nuzzles affectionately into the side of his face. as if there's any doubt. but he does want to hear it. ]

[ imagine if he said that he forgot what they were talking about and resumed making out

But no, Adolphe still has his wits about him somehow even after his mind was pretty much blown by that kissing session. Wow. Kissing people you actually love is really great. Amazing. 10 out of 10. ]

That I love you? Because I do. I love you.

[ Even if those weren't the words that Yves is looking for, he cups the other side of Yves's face and places a light kiss over the mask. ]
