[ stop this..... he catches claude's hand and raises a brow ]
I wouldn't conflate love and lust, Claude. I don't think there's anything wrong with people having their intimate fun, though. It just... took me by surprise.
[ so many of yves's friends are prostitutes and girls gotta get their coin ]
[ he's teasing, but he does look thoughtful about it even as his thumb idly sweeps over the knuckles of claude's captured hand as if it's second-nature ]
... just kidding. I think you're right, especially in the case of Anders. And I would love for people to find that kind of affection here.
I think I've just gotten familiar with spotting the differences.
I'm not a romantic, but I do know how relationships work. [ When a man and woman love each other, blah blah. ] Anyway, maybe it's inappropriate, but it's not bad to have a laugh in the nine hours of trial we have to go through.
[ annoying!! yves tugs a little bit&mash;before he lets go and ends up laughing too. he'll tuck his head against claude's shoulder again, cuddling in close and cozy ]
I'll show you... [ will he ]
... well, as long as you know you are irreplaceable to me.
[ and it's not like yves falls apart in front of just anyone ]

I suppose so...
Are you not as sleepy today, Claude?
[ the relaxedness... is confusing ]
no subject
[ Maybe not sleepy, but he does seem worn down. ]
Are you telling me to go to sleep?
no subject
[ does claude ever actually go to sleep around yves? either way he humors him ]
But I'm always happy to keep your company for as long as I get it.
no subject
As tempting as that is... I think I'll enjoy the stars a while longer.
[ They're so lovely from the beach. ]
no subject
in that case since they finished their wine, yves will go ahead and flop back against the blanket to look up at the stairs ]
Sounds like a plan to me. It's nice, after hours cooped inside.
no subject
By the way, I was surprised to see you so flustered over the mention of contraceptives.
no subject
he's surprised into laughter, but he does turn a little pink ]
Stop! I didn't realize that's what he was talking about...! [ cLEARLY ]
no subject
Surprising behaviour from love's number one fan.

I'd hardly consider it only a matter of lust, Yves.

[ ok now he's just trying to return fire
but he smiles not, a bit sheepish ]
Oh? Then... I suppose I don't mind being teased, if it gives you a reason to laugh amidst all that.
no subject
I'll keep that in mind next time morale is low. Feel free to share your weaknesses so I can prepare.
no subject
Me? Weaknesses? I don't know if I can just give you those on a silver platter, Claude. Can't you guess yourself?
no subject
I don't know... You are otherwise fairly impervious.
no subject
[ he is barely either of those things ]

yves just lightly pinches claude's cheek annoyingly, fussed ]

He'll close his eyes when Yves settles back down, sighing slightly. ]
Is that right?
[ Hehe. Yves is so cute. ]
no subject
reaches up to play with claude's hair again since he's closed his eyes again.... kitty claude ]
It is. [ . . . ] I didn't think I'd get to have a friendship like this since I lost Adolphe again. It's still not exactly the same, of course, but...
I treasure every moment I get with you, Claude. It makes me think... it's worth it to try living again.
[ just to have a little bit more time ]
