[ 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. ]
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
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. ]
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 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.
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
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.
[ 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. ]
[ comes back here after being an insane person in a roller rink
aaaaaaa
the thing is that's exactly what he wanted to hear! of course it is. adolphe said it all those weeks ago and it made yves so happy, but that was in accompaniment with chocolate. to hear it now, like this—ah...
his everything melts as he turns his head just to catch adolphe's mouth with his own again, sighing happily. ]
I love you, too. I love you so much.
[ having a kiss over his mask makes his heart beat so recklessly against his ribcage, wow being in love really is solving all his problems thanks ]
the insanity interlude.... just pretend that never happened. anyway--
Love heals something, and it's exactly from that insanity interlude. Surprise! He just wants to hold Yves here, kiss him some more, see his smile, laugh about things, and--
He's so...
The thought never gets finished as he resumes the kiss with fervor, but nothing with his tongue yet. Wow. ]
[ yves was truly going to at least try to talk things out but every time he remembers to think for two seconds, adolphe kisses him again. and with the rush and joy of it all, every intention once again flies out the window. why speak when their mouths can be busy kissing?
instead he makes himself comfortable on adolphe's lap like this is exactly where he wants to be for the foreseeable future, kissing him back. his arms loop around his neck and his fingers card through his hair, tangling a bit like it'll help keep him close because yves doesn't want to part at all.
(it is a little funny to him. he has kissed like this before, but normally he's the one with someone in his lap. yaoi has opened so many doors.)
for as heated as the kisses are, yves' thoughts are still so saccharinely sweet. he's so happy he can't help it. you're all I ever wanted. ]
[ Kissing is fun. It's nice. Best of all, it's the best with Yves. The fingers in his hair also feel great and--
To love and have it returned... No wonder you wanted it so badly.
He's teasing. A little. He knows why, and he wanted something like that too but he pushed it away so many times. The kisses are on hold, and he smiles against Yves's lips. ]
[ emotionshare is over but the joy radiating from him is so absurd. to feel adolphe smile against his lips is so sweet, and he presses one more kiss to the corner of his mouth even as he just cuddles in close. he's a little breathless when he laughs, but isn't it such a wonderful thing to be able to laugh so sincerely after kissing his favorite person in all of heaven and earth? ]
I did... Now you're the one I want the most.
[ he can't deny his other feelings—not when they're this vivid. they should probably still talk about that. he's more comfortable with the coexistence of multiple loves than adolphe is, but... ]
The entire time, whenever I've been asked if I could choose where I want to be—it's always been with you.
I would've said so even faster, if we could've been doing this sooner.
