#thank you fellow comte comrade

@blogcloudpuff-blog Like. How does a single person recover from being inundated with so much tenderness, shocked glee, and tasteful eroticism. This is my Pride and Prejudice.

Some mild spoilers as I gush about the loveliest man in the world:

The domesticity. The easy comfort between them, the poking fun and messing around. The way he loves being a silly little party man but the second MC asks him to go on a picnic with her because "uwu I want to spend time with you alone 🥺💜" he just yeets his party hat in seconds.

The way he's so openly astonished that someone would do something sweet on his behalf because they really want to I'm chewing glass. The hilarity of him being like "younger me would be clutching his pearls. Do You Even Care." The way I cry a little that he lowkey feels so much pressure to perform to be loved, but he joyfully accepts MC taking the lead and allows himself this surrender.

MC scolding him with no real heat when he's just being a happy little menace. Telling him "Don't worry I'll be gentle" like it's nothing and just moving on with her day. (THE CULTURAL. I M P A C T--) Him legit somehow not elaborating on that and instead thinking "I'm having a wonderful time also my wife is beautiful and very pretty and so talented, Sebastian I'm stealing your job."

Sebastian in the bg: oNLY WAR

Comte just listening to her talk about everything in the city so fondly, but also the double-edged part of it that makes him feel left behind to see her grow in leaps and bounds. MC noticing the moment he starts to feel out of place immediately, despite Comte's quick cover up. How MC was nervous about boring him with something simple.

The way her little gestures, her patience, her always meeting him halfway mean the entire world to him. The way he stops feeling out of place and isolated, because she always brings him along at her pace--never leaving him behind (just as he does the same for her). How he's floored by that basic reciprocity. How so much of love and being a couple of any kind is about the basic human desire to have a hand in yours, the promise that someone will be there. The promise that everything will be okay, and if it isn't, I have someone to love in the meantime.

THIS ENTIRE BIT. NO I WILL NOT SUMMARIZE BC NO WORDS CAN ENCOMPASS THE WAY EACH LINE MOVED MY HEART. SHAKING, CRYING, ETC:

The way he admires her strength without equivocation, the way he thinks her capacity to take the lead is beautiful. The first person he ever wanted to bite for love, and love alone.

Comte: (It's not enough...I want more. I could drown in you and never quench this thirst.)...For one beautiful moment, it felt as if nothing separated us at all.

What if I steered this train off a cliff--

Comte saying at least like seven different times throughout this whole thing that MC is so bright (SUN AND MOON COUPLE I'M SHAKING THE BARS OF MY CAGE. TIMELESS. PERFECTLY BALANCED. INEXTRICABLY LINKED. SYNERGISTIC SYZYGY.)

Comte not biting her in the end, but going to sleep dreaming of it blissfully.

The title, First Time in Forever. The implications. The imp.li.ca.tions. stares into my drink

Aight so like just a Normal Question for everyone. How are we feeling after the new Comte Bday story release in English because I can safely say:
