there’s something so romantic and endearing about just being able to kiss his lover in a meadow of flowers at sunset. yves is happy to do this until his lungs protest against the amount of breath left in them, and yet even when he pulls away he presses another kiss to adolphe’s cheek like he can’t stand to part ]
[ Adolphe does the same, but it's at the corner of Yves's lips and mouths against it as he talks. ]
I'm enjoying myself. As long as you are too, then it's a good date.
[ It's all that matters to Adolphe. They could be just sitting in a quiet place to nap and that would be a good date if that's what they both wanted to do for it. ]
[ aaaaAAAAA HE LOVES BEING SPOILED!!!!! they just finished kissing and yet when adolphe is so sweet then yves just turns his head to kiss him again! mwah! ]
Of course I’m enjoying myself with you. I always do.
[ and he’s not even being a horrible gremlin about it this time! ]
[ cute.... yves just tucks himself against adolphe's side then, still half-draped on top of him but that's just because he's clingy and terribly cuddly ]
... I guess I just never thought someone could love me this much. Not that I ever doubted you, but... Being truly loved always felt like a dream.
[ Oh... Adolphe is so moved by that. The fact that he could be anyone's dream come true, let alone anything remotely good in that sort of way was unfathomable. For someone who was always called a useless existence with no value since he was born and how that stuck to him even after two decades, it warms his heart like no other. ]
[ yves doesn't need to be loved most, he just needs to be loved at all.
and yet hearing this really makes his chest tight. it's so much more than he ever thought was possible, but adolphe says it so simply. adolphe makes loving him look easy. his heartrate is never going to calm down. ]
I love you, too. I really, truly love you. I don't want to love everyone anymore, I want to give my whole heart to you and only you.
[ To finally hear this makes Adolphe extremely relieved, but from what? He wanted to keep Yves's love to himself, but he compromised and thought it was fine for Yves to keep having those feelings of love towards other people. It's not like Adolphe can talk about that, since he still has feelings for Jacopo, but the possessiveness is a very integral part of Adolphe. He's selfish. Always has been, always will be. ]
it makes no promises for the current moment—because yves is so capable of modifying his own emotions, yes, but he’s not fully capable of doing so surrounding his feelings of love. even still. he does want to give his whole heart to adolphe even if he’d never ask the same in return. but it’ll be a work in progress that’ll only start after they leave.
but since he can’t read brackets and manages to be so absurdly loyal, it’s functionally the same thing? ]
I don’t know if that’s something you need to thank me for… but you’re welcome even so.

[ He lets himself relax against Yves as he scoots himself to his side instead of directly on top of him. ]
Just know that if I have to choose, I'll keep choosing you.

the keyword in what yves said was ‘want’.
