[ 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.
[ this is the type of affection he wants. not the falsities of there's nothing wrong with you. even now, yves knows there's something so abnormal about him.
but to be told he's worth it, even for all those flaws? he sighs and claims yet another kiss, letting his arms properly loop around adolphe's shoulders to keep him close ]
the sound yves makes is somewhere between surprised and encouraging, truly just so responsive to every little thing that adolphe does as is so grander gestures like this will always pull a reaction out of him. even still, all he does is just press himself even closer, meeting the intensity for what it is.
[ Adolphe wouldn't be able to tell anyone how many times he's kissed Yves. There's been too many times, too many to count, too many to remember. He ends up pulling back from the kisses eventually and breathes out. Why is it so hard to breathe. It feels like a bother. Just let him keep kissing him.
[ it is still off… he hasn’t put it back on because if adolphe is still treating him normally anyway, why would he?
when adolphe pulls back and asks his questions, yves answers with a breathless laugh. his heart is racing and his thoughts are jumbled and it’s the best feeling ever. he lets more of his weight fall against adolphe until they fall back against the bed and yves can fill up the time they aren’t attached at the mouth by pressing his lips against adolphe’s jaw down to his neck. ]
No. [ he mumbles against delicate skin ] But only because I’ll always want you more.
[ until it’s his turn to kiss and then bite—though it’s with the intention of leaving a mark.
he is truly only bare kind enough to do it at the base of his neck where his collar usually covers it. if adolphe stopped wearing his deep v’s it’d be a tragedy ]
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.
no subject
immediately looks like a kicked puppy about it ]
I really don’t know what I did this time…

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. ]
no subject
but he just smiles as he presses another kiss to adolphe's mouth, as if to say thanks for his acquiescence ]
Thanks.
And for what it's worth... I also love you most. Thank you for choosing me, even when you know the worst parts of me.
no subject
[ He feels like he can finally come to peace with having most of Yves. It's fine. This is fine. It's great, actually. ]
So never think otherwise.
no subject

... I love you, too. All of you.
no subject
So he returns the kiss instead and presses their lips together far more than they should be for a chaste one. ]
no subject
sure why not!

he loves affection and attention... so much... ]

Is the mask STILL off... ]
Would this ever be enough?
[ Enough kisses? ]

He tenses up with the kisses that go towards his neck and he almost startles at the bite. That felt... hm. ]
Hey—
no subject
yves just smiles as he lifts his head and comfortably settles atop adolphe, cheeky ]
Hey?
no subject
[ god. Yves!!!!!!
But he's also embarrassed. His face is red again... ]
no subject
Yes, but if you heal fast enough, it'll be gone in no time, right?
[ like he won't just
leave one again if the gremlin mood strikes ]
So it's just for fun...
