My memory is--sometimes it doesn't hold things as well as I'd like it to. Other times it holds too many. In case I haven't told you... I do love you, Ororo.
[ He's told Kurt, even if he spent the better part of thirty minutes talking around the actual words before saying them. If he's said it to Ororo before, she deserves to hear it again - he's not the type to say it often. His love language has never been... language. ]
[ She'd never needed to hear it, perfectly content to be the one to say it between the two of them, with what she hopes is perfectly acceptable, non-demanding, non-intrusive frequency. So it's a surprise to hear it aloud now, from him, and she can't quite hide the flicker of surprise in her eyes. He's likely standing too close for him to miss it.
She lifts up a hand to cup his face for another quick kiss, and when she draws back she's pleased and maybe quietly giddy. It's nice to feel validated! ]
Well. Then, please allow us - and anyone else you love - to crowd out any unwanted thoughts with new memories.
[ He smiles against the kiss and stays close even after it breaks. ]
You're doing your damnedest, I'm rather impressed, [ he admits. ] For the most part it's just the pair of you. You and Kurt. But... I think I've a few friends.
[ It's a strange thing to wonder if this person he's become here is shades of what he might have been had his life been different. Lucien doesn't know, and he tries not to think about it often. ]
I might not say it often at all. But so long as you know, I hope it's enough for you to remember.
