[ 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. ]

I love you.

[ He breathes out. ]

I have never loved anyone more in my life.

[ 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. ]

I'm really happy to hear that, Yves. Thank you.

[ well.

the keyword in what yves said was ‘want’.

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’s soooo heart eyes ]

[ Definitely a work in progress. ]

I'm trying to say words, like you wanted me to.

[ He huffs a little. ]

[ wow… ]

… You’re so good to me, Adolphe…

Thank you. [ a brief kiss ] I’ll do my best to return the favor.

[ a beat ]

I guess I can start behaving more…

[ and not freely ignoring things as he pleases… ]
