[ WOW IT'S THE BEACH. yves is loving it here! he's rolled up the cuffs of his pants and pushed up his sleeves, abandoning his coat to just welcome the sweet spray of the ocean. he inhales the next sea breeze that comes, and hums softly to himself as he exhales. looking out at the big ocean, he talks to himself - or to someone not quite here ]
It's almost like home... I hope you're not too mad at me for going ahead, Hugo.
[ though when he notices someone approaching, he'll turn and offer up a grin ]
Oh, hi! How's Mimi?
[ aaand his arms are opening for a hug even though jing yuan is so much taller okay hi there ]
[ YAY BEACH!! jing yuan is dressed down in casual wear so he just folds up the cuffs of his pants and sets his shoes aside. ]
Resting in our room. She tuckered herself out this past weekend.
[ AWWWW HE'S ADORABLE. jing yuan scoops him up into a hug, easy!!! he rests his chin on the top of yves' head while he's at it, my rp wish fulfilled 🥺 ]
...Have I interrupted?
[ gently trying to address yves speaking to a hugo who is clearly not squishmallow hugo ]
[ OOOHHH MR. JING YUAN OOOHHHH!! YVES LOVES THIS HUG!! he squeezes jing yuan right back and snuggles in because he's already so naturally affectionate. ridiculous ]
Haha, oh did you hear me mumbling to myself?
I was talking to Hugo... the first! Even though he can't hear me, but it's hard not to miss someone I've been around everyday for years.
[ YVES!!! everyone is in danger of his cuteness this week and every week. jing yuan does not often receive or exchange skinship (not even with yanqing, though jing yuan will carry him like the bab he is from time to time), so this is nice. ]
Mhm, I did.
[ he smiles kindly. ]
'A handyman, well-respected amongst his community'...?
yves will just match him then! he'll take the other pillow for himself, but he'll probably leave it after this conversation so that whoever gets to see jy is a little comfier. or if jiaoqiu sadly spends the night here, which he wouldn't be surprised by
pouring two glasses of wine... ]
I spent half the day hugging you? Pretty sure you could've crushed my spine at any moment if you had a mind to.
[ so no he's not scared... offers the glass through the bars for jy ]
Let me know if you want me to get anything else for you. I wanted to try grabbing Mimi from your room...
...Unfortunately. [ he knows he isn't the only one who has experienced loss, but he does appreciate the sentiment. there's warmth in the emoshare, and some quiet melancholy. ]
Thank you. He was. Dan Feng was not quite the partner that you and Hugo were, but... It was reassuring to fight by his side, in the days that we did.
[ . . . hearing the comparison does get yves' heart to ache that much more. his own hugo is alive and (hopefully?) well, but he remembers another timeline where that wasn't the case. he will just reach to take jing yuan's hand in his own ]

Even more than that - my partner!
[ beaming with pride ]
If I'm homesick for any reason, it's definitely because of him.

week 0 post-trial
he brings along two pillows under one arm, and then the other has a little basket with a bottle of wine and two glasses ]
Hi Jing Yuan—whoa, I feel like the bars are a bit much...
[ goes to sit down in front of them and offer a pillow through the bars ]
Is wine okay?
no subject
he's lounging peacefully and by lounging i mean he's just sitting cross-legged on the floor. chin propped on hand, typical jy pose.
he smiles when he sees yves. there isn't much behind it. ]
You're not afraid I might attack you?
[ he accepts the pillow. ]
How delightful. Thank you.

And if I had the mind to?
[ he looks at him as if he's briefly considering this possibility. but it's gone in a blink, expression neutral again. he accepts the glass. ]
Ah... Mimi. Do whatever you wish. I have no need of anything from my room.

week 6, tuesday
get hit by a memory! ]
no subject
I believe you did save him. The both of them.
[ Hugo must have been searching for something, and found it in you.
he hasn't forgotten what yves had told him about their deaths, that day on the beach. but even so... ]
no subject
You think? I think Hugo saved me a million times more after that...!!
[ just. the fondest sigh in the world. hugo is such a homosexual and yves still isn't thinking about it ]
He gave up so much just to be with me... How lucky am I?
no subject
I believe he was quite fortunate, as well.
[ ... ]
Last we could speak properly, you mentioned it would be difficult for you to accept living. Has that changed?
