[When Wesker didn't contact him a day ago he was worried, but worry has quickly turned to fear and Jaeger's never been good at dealing with fear. Repeated attempts to reach Wesker have failed, so Jaeger's taken it on himself to go looking for his boyfriend.

Thankfully Wesker cuts a distinctive figure and Jaeger's able to trace his location to the outskirts of the city. He's worried that he's going to find that something's happened to Wesker, that he'll be injured or dying, or maybe even already dead—

But that isn't the case, and when he finds Wesker the man looks perfectly fine.]

Albert!

[He'll approach immediately; the worry and concern is probably obvious just from that exclamation alone, but once he gets close he speaks up again.]

Are you okay? What are you doing out here?

[If Wesker will let him get close enough, he'll reach out to touch Wesker's arm, as he usually does.]

...Not for the time being, though I'm sure you're frustrated with that by now. I just need some time.

Stay with me until then?

[scythegun]

Of course. I wouldn't dream of leaving you. Not now, not ever.

[It's true that he's frustrated with that, but at least for now he can be here. That's something, anyway.]

[manufactured]

...Your presence really does help me, you know.

[He wants to be certain you know that.]

[scythegun]

I'm so glad to hear that. You've been through so much, so hearing that I can help means so much to me.

[He tightens his grip on Wesker's hand.]

[manufactured]

Of course you can.

[He'll return that, all right.]

I know it's been difficult for you, knowing that there wasn't anything you could do. It isn't like that anymore.

[scythegun]

[Jaeger's gaze darts for a moment before he forces himself to look back at Wesker.]

I know that sometimes things will just be like that, that I won't be able to help any. It was difficult to face that, though.

[He shakes his head after a moment and smiles again.]

I'm so happy you've remembered. I missed you so much.

[manufactured]

I love you.

[The words come more easily now than they have for the past while before all this happened; it's something he's had difficulties with since the virus. But if anything this has made it clear to him - he loves his boyfriend, he loves him and he wants him to know that he loves him, and at least for now he doesn't want to let go.]

[scythegun]

[Ah, it's so nice to hear that... It's a bit unexpected, even if it shouldn't be, and Jaeger laughs a bit before settling.]

I love you too! You mean so much to me; I'm so happy to be here with you.

[manufactured]

...I know you probably don't want to talk about it, but if you need to we can.

I'm fine with just staying near you for a while, however.

[scythegun]

...Thank you. I think I'm okay for now.

[It might just be because everything's happened so quickly, but he really does feel fine right now.]

I'll admit I don't want to go very far from you, however. I've missed being able to be so close to you.

[He squeezes Wesker's hand; physical contact has always been important to him, after all.]

[manufactured]

...I didn't want anything like this at the time, but it feels like I've missed it somehow regardless.

[This is noce, okay...]

[scythegun]

Well, you have been subjected to it so much, I'm not surprised it's something you'd miss!

[He looks very pleased with himself, okay.]
