[ 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 ]

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.

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.

[ he is barely either of those things ]

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 ]
no subject
??? ]
I'm glad to hear that. [ Well, he will just roll with it. ] And if we get out of here, then you'll hopefully be able to reunite with Adolphe as well.
There's plenty to look forward to, Yves.
no subject
is that the case? unclear. there's just a soft, noncommittal hum at that but he'll keep playing with claude's hair in the silence ]
... well, I'll make the most of whatever opportunities I get. And I do miss Adolphe, so he'll have to deal with me whenever we see him again.
