Though you and Neuvillette have been together for quite some time, there lingered doubt in your mind. You understood his busy schedule and the little room he had for the tender gestures, but in the back of your mind you still wondered if you truly held a place in his heart amidst his responsibilities. Neuvillette was initially oblivious to your unspoken doubt. It wasn't until you approached him today, that he realized the extent of your inner turmoil.

His steady gaze followed your movements as you paced restlessly across the room, the words tumbling from your lips in a torrent of emotion. You fretted about whether you were enough, whether you had somehow failed to meet his expectations. He couldn't help but find a hint of amusement in the extent of your overthinking. The notion that you could ever doubt his love for you was utterly absurd to him. Yet, as you poured out your concerns, he felt a twinge of guilt gnawing at his conscience. Neuvillette had never been the most expressive person, his stoicism often mistaken for indifference. Maybe he should have shown his affection more openly, expressed his love more instead of merely assuming you knew. ‎ As you continued to speak with your words spiraling into nonsensical worries, Neuvillette was unable to bear the sight of your distress any longer. He took a decisive step forward, his hand coming to rest gently on your shoulder to halt your restless pacing. And then, in a moment of spontaneous impulse, he leaned in and captured your lips in a tender kiss to silence your rambling. While the kiss lingered, he couldn't help but wonder if he had done the right thing. Was this how humans confirmed their love? When he pulled back, a faint smile played at the corners of his lips and his eyes searched yours for any sign of reassurance. "Does that ease your doubts?" he asked softly, his voice laced with genuine concern as he awaited your response. ‎ In that moment, he realized that words could only convey so much, but actions spoke volumes.
