[ ??? ]

... Then what was all that at the party. He obviously likes you.

[shaft]

Affection altering coupon. It'll wear off in another day.

[amain]

[ Nier frowns. Oof. ]

Lucky we weren't hit with that...

[shaft]

It would be very cruel to hit you with one.

[ Sinks further into the beanbag. ]

Today was... really hectic though.

[amain]

A lot did happen. You got to be a frog prince.

[ Which has him chuckle. ]

You're serious that no one has ever said that to you before?

[shaft]

[ He just yawns. ]

No... Not that I can recall.

[amain]

[ A sigh. ]

Then I guess this is just a reminder that you are loved by a handful of people.

[shaft]

[ Should he say it back... ]

Yeah, so are you.

[amain]

[ (nier voice) i don't need more than you knowing. that's enough. ]

This isn't about me.

[shaft]

So I'm not allowed to talk about how beloved you are?

[amain]

Not as a way to tease me.

[ Stop!! ]

[shaft]

I'm being genuine. My tone is just teasing.

[amain]

[ He can't throw a cushion at Claude because he has tea. ]

Really.

[shaft]

It's just my shyness.

[amain]

I guess you are timid. [ omega ] Either way, you don't need to talk about that.

[shaft]

[ rude ]

I can say nice things too, Nier.

[amain]

[ it's a truth ]

I don't think you've ever said anything unkind to me.

[shaft]

You've never earned anything else.

[amain]

[ ... There's a small part of him that disagrees, but he's selfish. ]

And you've earned everything I've given you. [ Closing the book, Nier comes over and rubs his chin against the top of Claude's head. ] I'm going to turn in.

[ sleepy. ]

[shaft]

[ Gross.

Though he's amused by the nuzzling. ]

All right. Sleep well.

[amain]

[ you're right it is gross. ]

Don't stay up too late, Claude.

[ bye ]
