[ Adolphe just stares at Yves like "what did i just fucking hear from that mouth" and his face turns red again. ]
You never get genuinely jealous.
[ He says that with something that sounds like conviction, because he suddenly feels small despite Yves being on his lap and he is being incredibly resistant to showing vulnerability when he feels like he's being CONMAN'D AND BACKED INTO A CORNER. ]
[ he rolls his eyes affectionately then, even as he deposits a quick kiss to adolphe's mouth that isn't interrupted by a frog ]
I don't...
[ just. admitting to this. because he'll shift just enough to tug a necklace out from underneath his shirt, where adolphe will be able to see the earring he'd given yves where it's been temporarily turned into a pendant. ]
It's hard to be when I'm still holding onto this. Though you can ask for it back now, if you want.
I can, but I think you should give me something in exchange or else I'm losing the only accessory you've given me.
[ and yves is otherwise drowning in accessories. he swaps between a green ribbon with constellation embroidery and a blue ribbon that adolphe would've seen on maomao everyday. he has a friendship bracelet he never takes off.
but he'll start to carefully remove the earring from its pendant placement anyway ]
[ Oh. Yeah. He would definitely recognize the blue ribbon. Yves really has a lot, huh. He puts his hand over Yves's to stop him from removing the earring from the pendant. ]
[ okay well he's just going to laugh faintly and give adolphe another kiss. the blue ribbon is probably on the dresser and he's wearing the green ribbon today ]
I think there's something cute about matching accessories with your lover, or having something that I always wear that's from you.
[ he's still going to give the earring back anyway, because he knows it's important to adolphe ]
But no, I don't think so. I'd be happy to get anything from you. You could get me a snack and I'd be content.
[ idly. but he'll successfully remove the earring from its pendant and then shift so that he can focus on replacing it on adolphe's ear with a gentle touch ]
Mm, I've had it since I was... 11? So half my life now.
[ Adolphe can't think of them as snacks, so it still flies over his head... sorry Yves
When Yves kisses the tip of his ear, it gradually turns red. Mnnnnghhhh. The intimacy of habing Yves put the earring back on him was nice too. Adolphe is going to be the one who almost melts this time. ]
the happiness in his expression is what allows yves to permit him to escape talking about jacopo for a bit longer. he just presses another kiss to adolphe’s cheek, and then presses their lips together. i should’ve given them more frogs
for now, yves just lets his forehead rest against adolphe’s ]
aaaaAAAAAA yves is so hard to fluster but this actually manages to do it! NO!!!!!!!!! his cheeks dust pink and he’s stunned into silence for a second before he answers ]
[ kiss from adolphe… wow… he is so happy… his expression softens, impossibly so, and he just sighs all his contentment
his fingers run through adolphe’s hair even as he remains so close after the kiss that adolphe can probably feel the words against his lips just as much as he can hear them ]
I need and want you. Every moment, everyday.
And the only feeling that eclipses both is how much I love you.

[ He thinks this sort of thing is romantic and it would be sweet to let Yves do it. Yeah. That's the reasoning behind the decision. ]

Then it's fine. You can keep it as it is.
no subject
he tilts his head ]
I was teasing... I don't want to take something of yours if you'd like to have it back. You can just give me something later.
no subject
[ He withdraws his hand and watches Yves and his current accessories. He really has so many now that he's actually focusing on that. ]
Does it have to be an accessory?

[ Let's have some higher standards.
Adolphe thinks about it though. What should he get for Yves. If it's not matching, then it'll be something that he always wears. ]
I wanted to ask, but... that mask. It's pretty old now, isn't it?
no subject

He's not sure what Yves means by that. But. Anyway. ]
Would you like a new one?
no subject
yves just smiles after he finishes replacing the earring and kisses the tip of adolphe's ear ]
I'd like anything from you. This mask is an old friend, but I'd never say no to something from my new lover.

Thanks. I’ll look forward to it.
I wonder if you’ll accept a gift from me too.
no subject
[ Hm???
The forehead resting on his own makes Adolphe want to initiate more kisses, but he also wants to have a conversation. ]
no subject
[ a beat ]
I think I’m realizing right this second I should’ve given you more.
That’s not very romantic of me.
no subject
Sorry that makes Adolphe laugh a little. ]
You don't have to be romantic, for the record. Just be yourself. Besides, I'm fine with not receiving much. In fact, I prefer that.
[ gestures to not wanting to feel overwhelmed by being spoiled ]
no subject
Even though I want to give you the world?
no subject
If you're the world, then I'm fine with that.
no subject
aaaaAAAAAA yves is so hard to fluster but this actually manages to do it! NO!!!!!!!!! his cheeks dust pink and he’s stunned into silence for a second before he answers ]
You’re unfair…
You already have me…
no subject
[ easy. ]
no subject
How can I give you even more of me…?
Anything you want, I’ll give. I’m already all yours.
no subject
I don't need much, but I always want you.

I don't remember feeling this happy in a long time.
