adolphe catchall

i've only known him for an hour but why does he have to be unlocked...

I don't want to limit you. You can define it however you want it.

[ elysia truly is someone who is all about love, any and all kinds of love, and just because she doesn't need something doesn't mean she doesn't want it. ]

[ Adolphe stays quiet and thinks about this. He's giving it serious thought, and Elysia deserves a well-thought out answer. ]

... Love is a strong word in general for what it is to me. I can't love everyone like you and Yves. For me, I can't wear out the word. I want it to be special. You already know that I'm extremely picky about people who I like.

So, I think giving someone a chance and letting the relationship grow to something despite my picky self is how I would define it.

In that sense, in response to your question... yes.

[ elysia is accustomed to waiting, and his answer is enough for her. happiness flutters in her chest. ]

Thanks, Adolphe. I love you, too.

[ because that's basically what he told her and because she wants him to be used to being loved. any kind of love is enough for her.

she closes what little distance is between them to kiss his cheek. ]

I'm glad to be special to you.

[ aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Adolphe still gets flustered over this. someone help him

To be used to being loved... he thinks he can have that now, with Yves. Elysia saying it emphasizes it even more. ]

... Thanks.

[ eloquence? lol. lmao. ]

[ that's okay. he doesn't need to be eloquent and have great romantic declarations like other people. elysia accepts him for all that he is.

but because they're in this situation, she does have to ask: ]

I can tell you I love you everyday if you need it or want it, but...

Would it be easier for you, if I stepped back even more?

[ from the two of you? ]

I'm fine without the constant reminder. In fact, I would prefer that—even before I was dating Yves.

[ He can't take it...... ]

[ she wonders if she should bring up her last question again, but as for the first... ]

I'll take it into consideration.

[ which means she might ignore it to tease him. ]

[ He knows that's a different way to say "I'm not going to do it" because Yves says that all the time... So he resigns. ]

Thanks for your benevolence.
