[ it could confuse the sweet cat and the unsweet scien....
but it's funny how to scien, he never once wanted these things. love was the most confounding, useless emotion of all. and despite everything, and all that he says, he is still gathering data to be sure that this is love. he doesn't want to make a statement without being certain of it. without knowing, absolutely, that this is the emotion that had driven so many into their insane acts of devastation—whether inflicted upon themselves, or others.
but feeling this horrible ache in his chest that is only soothed increment by increment by lucas's presence, to feel his heart ever so gently squeezed when looking upon his sweet face... he thinks it's not hard to come to his own conclusions.
even if this it not yet love, it almost certainly will be.
scien brings them through the doors of the apartment building and into his lab again, wandering toward the bed and away from the couch that has since been cleaned. he'll move to sit, but even then he keeps lucas in his lap so comfortably. his arms settle around his waist, almost trapping him there, even as scien presses his lips to lucas's cheeks in repeated little gestures. partially just because he can, to revel in the fact that he's even here to be kissed—and partially to answer some of that desire from earlier. ]
It is my generosity.
[ he just confirms it ]
I will wait as long as you ask me to. But as we're to live a long life together, then it's important to consider what it will be filled with. And I intend on making you the happiest person on the island, and then the world. Nadia may be equal with you.
[ scien like i'm getting ahead of this bc he knows lucas's happiness is contingent on nadia's
but ]
Will you still tell me that you'd rather not be greedy?
