[ and he'll kiss adolphe's cheek to prove a point ]
... but you're more selective about who you let in than I am. I'm just wondering if it worked out. I imagine you'd let me know if I have to share you...
And if I don't, then I want to make sure you're okay.
[ because even if it's by choice, it's still sad when a blossoming love doesn't work out ]
Oh, I don't mind. Claude doesn't even feel like that for me. [ keeps that one SHORT ] Ellie does, but she has something to do as soon as she goes home so... I mean, you'd only share me for about another week if you were okay with it... If you want to do that with Jacopo...?
[ but to clarify, ]
I might've fallen for them in the time that we had here... but now that I have you, I can't imagine loving anyone else even nearly as much.
[ the insanity takes hold so hard ]
You take up so much room in my heart, I don't think there's anything left for anyone else.
[ thinks about it as he plays with adolphe's hair... ]
Hm... I don't really think 'worried' is the word when I'd support you through anything. Even if you chose to end things with me to be with Jacopo, I think I'd feel sad [ probably devastated ] but I'd never love you any less for it. You're my best friend.
[ he was just willing to accept whatever happened. ]
[ Adolphe has never specified, because he felt that he didn't have to. He can't look at love like Yves can, though he wishes he could because it feels like his love is being questioned and he really, really doesn't like that. ]
If it comes to love, do you think I would settle for anything less?
[ they really do have such different ways of looking at love, even after yves' brain chemistry has been rewired. he brings up a hand to adolphe's face and lets his thumb trace over his cheek, as if to smooth out some of the lines of his unhappiness ]
[ He grumbles, and buries his face into the same spot. ]
For someone so loving, how can you be so dense? I'm with you, because I love you the most. Idiot. If I can't get through with that with my actions, then I'm probably doing a poor job at conveying it. What will make you believe me?
[ he shifts just so that he can hold adolphe's face in his own hands and laugh, gently knocking their heads together. it's enough to cause just this brief little sting and—yves can feel it. it's a miracle already that he can feel it ]
Be clearer sometimes, you jerk!
[ as lovingly as he can ever call someone a jerk ]
Don't just tell me you'll figure it out—I don't even know what you have to figure out! You didn't even tell me how things went, so I just had to guess!
I love you so much, but sometimes your actions needs to come with statements too. It's not that they're not enough, it's just that it's been four years and I know you better than anyone else in all of heaven and earth, and I still can't read your mind.
[ even when all our thoughts are on display regardless, he gives adolphe a kiss, so gentle and loving ]
All it takes for me to believe you is just your words. So use them, you stubborn, stubborn love of mine.
no subject
There's really nothing to talk about though...
[ He looks at Yves. Is he being nosy again... ]
no subject
Really? But I'm always going to be interested in moments where your heart feels softer.
[ even if it's for someone else because he really still doesn't get jealous ]
no subject
[ Well. ]

How can I tell you that I can be shared when I don't want you to?

Mm. Don't want to share.

he wraps his arms around adolphe in return and nuzzles into his hair affectionately ]
Well that settles that, I suppose.
no subject
Were you worried?
no subject
Hm... I don't really think 'worried' is the word when I'd support you through anything. Even if you chose to end things with me to be with Jacopo, I think I'd feel sad [ probably devastated ] but I'd never love you any less for it. You're my best friend.
[ he was just willing to accept whatever happened. ]
I just want you to be happy.
no subject
I know, but would you really take me to be someone who confesses their love to turn it back around to be with someone else?
no subject
No, but I don't even think that you'd love me less.
[ adolphe can still say that every word is true, but he never specified how much he liked someone else in comparison so— ]
But I don't know your relationships, so I'm not sure if you could love someone else more.
[ it's not like he would've lied to yves at any point if he did that ]
no subject
Yves.

immediately looks like a kicked puppy about it ]
I really don’t know what I did this time…

If it comes to love, do you think I would settle for anything less?
no subject
Less?

I'm not sure I know what you mean.

UGHHHHHH. But consider, he doesn't like using words because they can be cheap. He supposes that, for Yves, he could always make an exception.
...
Well, almost always. He still won't eat his food nor let him cook. Sorry, but not sorry. ]
I'm not that hard to read...
[ a ]
no subject
Most of the time, for me, you aren't.
[ he can generally guess what adolphe is thinking or feeling in 98% of situations ]
... but this is still something new. You need to give me time to learn, or you can just tell me.
But don't get mad at me for not understanding when you haven't said anything, Adolphe. That's unfair.
no subject
... Fine. I'll... work on it.
[ Making him say things, even though Adolphe really just says shit sometimes like a rude boy anyway. ]
