sometimes yves is so good at reading adolphe and sometimes he is so confused. but at least most of the time he's confused, it's when they're in uncharted territory. like this. ]
[ He still needs to have a talk with Jacopo and he doesn't like the idea of blatantly flirting in public in front of him when he still hasn't even given his answer yet. ]
[ . . . can he say he doesn't mind whatever happens? now that he's gotten a taste of being loved so earnestly? it's not even the physical affection, it's just the way that every time adolphe says i love you and how easily yves believes it that's made it feel like he never breathed air until this moment. ]
... I'd like to not be left behind... if I can be selfish and ask for that.
[ and yet even that is so tentative, like he's not sure how much he can request out of this love. he's spent so much time making himself easy to love that finally having a real want that centers himself feels... wrong. ]
[ Adolphe sighs and thinks to himself that he should resolve all this quickly because he feels like he'll get a headache about this if he drags this out any longer. Yves... for a pain in the neck (affectionate), Adolphe still loves you. ]

Why not?
no subject
[ Yeah. That's really it. ]
no subject
yves just clearly doesn't believe this at all.... he reaches up to run his fingers through adolphe's hair lovingly ]
No? Really? You don't like when I'm sweet to you?
[ leans up just short of claiming another kiss ]
no subject
But he puts a thumb between their lips before their mouths connect. No kiss for you, Yves. ]
I do every now and then, but spoiling means excessive, doesn't it?
no subject
I'm not sure what the line between acceptable and excessive is...
I'll follow your rule if you don't want me to do anything in public, but in private, isn't it okay if I show you how much I love you?
no subject
His face goes a bit red at that. Ugh.
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh. ]
... That's... fine.
no subject
Really? Well, I'd hope so.
I think I love you too much to be able to keep it to myself.

[ Adolphe isn't aware of how weird this sounds. ]

You want me to keep us a secret?

[ He still needs to have a talk with Jacopo and he doesn't like the idea of blatantly flirting in public in front of him when he still hasn't even given his answer yet. ]
But like I said... the usual is fine. Sorry.
no subject
he can't read these brackets so who knows what he's thinking ]
... that's okay. Whatever you want.
no subject
It doesn't feel right to do all that where he can see when I haven't even given him my answer yet. Stop making that face.
[ Yves isn't making any sad face, but Adolphe just knows. ]
no subject
[ he frowns slightly but only now. hmm. ]
... I don't...

Yves.
[ He kisses his forehead. ]
That's the bare minimum. I'm not going to leave you behind.
no subject
Okay. I believe you.
[ mostly. he doesn't know how much adolphe loves jacopo. maybe it's far more than this.
well, he'd be happy for that for other reasons anyway. for now he'll just loop his arms around adolphe's neck again and press a kiss to his cheek. ]
Then love whoever you want to love.
[ he really doesn't mind, as long as he gets some small piece for himself ]
no subject
I will.
