[ ok well when yves realizes there's someone coming back to the tent he JOLTS up note that down—and then he settles when he realizes it's adolphe... sneepy..... ]

Adolphe...? [ rubs at his eyes and moves to sit up ] Are you okay?

[ yves.... please... you are such a puppy

Adolphe moves sluggishly and when he makes his way inside the tent, he lowers himself to give Yves a hug and makes them fall onto the sleeping bags. ]

Yves... I'm back.

[ He squeezes Yves in his hug. ]

[ oh

yves will just automatically open his arms for this hug for adolphe, accepting the fall back into the sleeping bags and shifting only so that he can pull some of the blankets over the both of them... is he cold? he presses his nose against adolphe's cheek affectionately anyway ]

Hi.

[ and then turns his head just to find his mouth for a brief kiss ]

Welcome back.

Mm.

[ He closes his eyes and pulls Yves even closer. Luckily, Adolphe isn't cold. He's warm like usual. ]

I saw... a timeline, where I lost everything. I lost Ceres, my autonomy, and... I lost you.

[ He tries not to shake about that, but he trembles. ]

[ oh. he lets himself be pulled closer and can't help the way his heart breaks a little bit at even hearing this much. how many terrible timelines are there in their little island! why can't they be happy!!! ]

... I'm right here.

[ is all he can promise, shifting a little bit so that he can rearrange them so adolphe's head falls against yves's chest—ear pressed against his heartbeat. his arms circle around him nonetheless, holding him close as yves presses his face into his hair ]

I don't know what that was... but you're right here, with me.

[ He hears Yves's heartbeat and it helps soothe him because it tells him that Yves is right here and with him. And not dead, abandoned in the institute to save him from being a further experiment. His worst fear about being found out as the second drifter and... he doesn't want to think about it.

It feels like it's been hundreds of years since I last saw you... ]

[ adolphe really went through his own hundred year cyoa just for him

yves frowns a little bit as that thought comes through, his fingers threading through adolphe’s hair to try to soothe him ]

I’m not going anywhere. [ firmly ] You were only gone a few hours for me… but I can spend however long you want to remind you that you’re here.

[ tentatively, ] Do you want to talk about it…?

I know, but... suddenly seeing those events made it seem like it happened to me specifically, and...

[ He tries to keep his breathing calm. ]

... Ceres killed herself, with the dagger that she gave me as a birthday gift... and people found out that I was the second drifter, so... I was caught and endlessly experimented on.

... I'm sorry.

[ softly. it doesn't read in their emotions, but there is truly something odd that strikes itself in yves' chest at this moment. he'll later recognize it as anger. fury on adolphe's behalf. that's for another time.

instead he'll just hold adolphe even closer, even as yves presses kisses to his hair ]

I'm so sorry. You never deserved that. Neither did she.

It just... feels like a long, vivid nightmare.

[ He hugs Yves tighter. ]

I couldn't even die, no matter what happened to me.

[ his brow furrows at that, not quite comprehending ]

Why... not?

[ their island always felt like a place where it was almost hilariously too easy to die ]

The experiments made me immortal... or something.

[ So he just lives more than normie lifespan!! And it sucked! ]

[ or something.

oh his heart aches. adolphe already was going to live so much longer than everyone else, and then—in the end, he couldn't even die? he couldn't even be with the people who he loved, who left ahead of him? he shuts his eyes against it and takes a moment to just breathe in and out, squeezing adolphe briefly ]

... it's not like that here. [ another little reminder ] We're in the afterlife together, but then... we're going to go live together. We'll find our own little place in the world, and I won't let anyone take you from me.

We're going to grow old together, and then we'll pass peacefully and come back to this slice of Heaven together. Wherever you are, that's where I'll be, and nothing will hurt. I promise.

... When you say it like that, I feel like I can hope about the prospects.

[ Adolphe still doesn't blindly believe in things, but he'll put hope in things with no basis. Close enough. ]

[ he sighs in relief, and resumes just pressing kisses wherever he can. adolphe's hair, his temple, the side of his face ]

I'll keep saying it, and proving it.

[ and he will have enough confidence for them both ]

I love you so much...

[ Yves. His Yves. He can't imagine living without him now. He buries his face into the crook of his neck and sighs. ]

[ ah… yves just matches that contented little sigh, tangling his fingers in adolphe’s hair just to keep him close ]

I love you, too.

Stay with me forever.

[ and don’t get lost in your horrific nightmare trap timeloops ]

[ (insert meguca and fate/ jokes) ]

I will.

[ Adolphe doesn't really believe in forever, but he's vulnerable enough to want it regardless of his usual beliefs right now. ]

Please don't go too far from me...

[ He sounds a little desperate. ]

I won't. Where else would I want to be besides next to you?

[ he just nuzzles against the side of adolphe's head ]

That's been true since the very beginning.

[ that very first sunday when they were offered either a chance at heaven or an opportunity to go home and yves instantly knew his answer—he wanted to be where adolphe was, if at all possible ]

... Admittedly, I think I would have been lonely without you if I went somewhere on my own. I'd miss you...

[ loss week? dependency vibes? yeah. ]

I did have a feeling that’d be the case…

You should’ve just said so earlier.

[ he knows adolphe needs him!! he knew he gets lonely!!!! stupid ]

Don't look so smug while you say that.

[ Adolphe lightly headbutts him. ]

... even if it's... true.
