[ he can't deny that. the day that adolphe died four years ago felt like the beginning of the worst period of yves's life. he wonders if that'll be the same for his afterlife. ]
... I just wish his time stopped being cut so short.
[ why is yves always the one left with more time he doesn't want? ]
yves isn't the type to say so, just huffing out a breath that's almost a laugh. ]
Good. [ he does sound relieved, and he'll nestle his head against claude's shoulder some more, having gotten comfortable doing this over the past week ]
Then... please be alright enough for both of us, at least for today. I can pick up the slack again tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

[ He blinks, the question unexpected. ]

... I thought I was supposed to be the one annoying you into accepting my help...
[ get it together yves... ]
no subject
Were you now? Who decided that?
no subject
I did...
[ yves declared annoyance!! but he also knows he's truly just so brokenhearted right now he doesn't have it in him to be a pest ]
... I'll try again next week, so don't go anywhere, okay?
[ tucks himself more against claude's side, trying to be careful of wherever he got injured ]

Don't worry, I'm notorious for getting out of tough situations.
So you don't need to hurry to return to your usual.
