[Good, don't you dare stop with that, okay...]

I suppose I have been. It doesn't feel all that terrible right now.

[His left hand finds its way to his chest before he's aware of it and when he notices he laughs and forces it down.]

...Well, mostly. I really am doing okay, I promise.

[manufactured]

[Jaeger...]

As long as you're sure. You know I want to do what I can for you.

[It's reasonably easy, though; he does believe that everything is fine for now.]

[scythegun]

I know. And you always do such a good job of it! You always help me when I'm feeling upset and you always find some way to calm me down when I need it. I really don't know what I'd do without you, Albert.

[manufactured]

I do think you would find some way to manage. But I also don't intend for you to have to find out anytime soon.

[Things are going to be fine; you'll be okay even if they aren't. It'll work out.]

[scythegun]

Good. I'm glad, I wouldn't want to have to find out.

[He leans into the hair-playing and closes his eyes. This really is comfortable...]

I really am happy like this. You mean so much to me, you know.

[manufactured]

Likewise, of course. Always.

[Even if things continue to progress and escalate from here and it changes things, he still wants Jaeger to know that.]

[scythegun]

Always.

[That's certainly never going to change, no matter what happens.

He falls silent after that, still leaning into the hair-playing. He loves you so much, okay...]

[manufactured]

[...Do you want to come closer, he doesn't mind if you lean against him for the time being.]

[scythegun]

[!!!

Of course he does! He'll move over immediately, settling in easily. This really is nice...]

[manufactured]

[...It is, yes.]

I take it you're comfortable, then.

[scythegun]

Of course I am! Just let me know when you want me to move, otherwise I'll be here all night!

[You're not the most comfortable person in the world, but there's nowhere else he'd rather be.]

[manufactured]

I'll let you know, but for now it's fine.

[He'll just...go back to playing with your hair once you're settled, just to give his hands something to do.]

[scythegun]

I'm glad! I really do enjoy spending time like this, you know~!

[That really does feel nice, don't stop!]

[manufactured]

I wouldn't have known if you hadn't told me.

[It's light, though, clearly teasing; he'll tousle your hair a bit while he's at it.]

[scythegun]

[He tries to pout, but it doesn't quite succeed.]

You're awful. Don't tease me...!

[His hair's going to be so messed up after this... oh well...]

[manufactured]

Well, that's a change. Usually you're telling me that I'm no fun whatsoever.

[scythegun]

[He's still trying so hard to pout. Look at him go.]

Well usually you aren't!

[...]

Not that I'd call this fun, that is!

[It's totally fun.]

[manufactured]

What would you call it? For curiosity's sake.

[scythegun]

Terrible!

[He sounds like he's trying not to laugh, though...]

[manufactured]

...I'll take terrible, actually.

[you chose this.]

[scythegun]

[No regrets.]

Somehow, I'm not surprised...

[manufactured]

I don't know what else you expected.

[scythegun]

It should have been exactly this! But somehow it wasn't.

[He still sounds very pleased with it, though.]

[manufactured]

You don't seem to mind it, at any rate.

[So much hair-playing. Gentler, messing your hair up a little less, but still.]

[scythegun]

I suppose there isn't much point in pretending otherwise...! I am enjoying myself~!
