[God, he's just going to go incredibly quiet for a good long while at that; not like he does when he's upset, mind, just...kind of not looking at anything in particular and not really knowing what to say to that.
Just...give him a moment.]
I'm...legitimately not sure how I would have gotten through the past several months without you. Knowing that you're here, and you aren't going anywhere even when things are difficult or unpleasant for you... It means a lot to me.
[...]
I don't feel alone anymore. And that's important to me as well.
[You know, he wasn't actually expecting a genuine response here, um. Give him a moment.]
...Well, I certainly wouldn't want you to feel alone! I'm glad I can be here for you!
[He's sort of pink? Oh man. He wasn't expecting that, hang on, he'll be back to his usual level of obnoxiousness soon enough but for now this is really nice??]
[You know, there are all sorts of things he could say to that, but he's going to actually not be a shit for once about this and just kind of accept it as it is.]
no subject
[so of course it's back to this!!]
no subject
[He's flustered.]
It's kind of you to say, that's all.
no subject
Well, of course! As I've said, you're very important to me! It's important that you know that!
[For some reason this has kind of put a damper on his teasing??]
no subject
I do know that, yes.
[Mnnngh, why are you like this. Even if the teasing has settled a bit, why.]
no subject
[Because he's terrible. And speaking of terrible...]
So when are you going to tell me how important I am to you, hmm?
no subject
I imagine you know as much already...?
no subject
[gosh, wesker.]
no subject
Just...give him a moment.]

[Are. Are we done.]

[...Are you flushed, what the actual fuck - ]
Don't let it go to your head. You were the one that asked.
no subject
It's a bit too late for that, you know!
[ c: ]
no subject
[Anyway.]
no subject
[He's settled a bit again, so at least there's that.]
no subject
[Just once, if he has any say.]
Besides, what you told me really was kind.
no subject
You're welcome! I don't usually put this much effort in for most people, so consider yourself lucky!
no subject
[He does seem to actually know that much, at least.]
You've been good to me, Jaeger.
[God, he's either going to die of awkwardness or say something accidentally depressing, can we not...]
no subject
I try to be! You're worth the effort!
no subject
I'll take your word for it, then.
