"How do you feel about Yusaku?"
Meme: Ask my character "How do you feel about ______?" Can be an idea, person(s), place, or thing, and they'll have to answer honestly.
Normally Ai would take this as an opportunity to exuberantly shower his partner with the praise and affection the other so rightly deserved. His friends and those close to him expected it at this point, and Yusaku seemed exasperated by Ai's quirkiness, but the Ignis knew his partner appreciated it all the same. However, this time Ai sat uncharacteristically still and quiet as he seriously considered the question.
"...It's funny how spoken language works, isn't it? I could tell you that I love Yusaku, and that would be true; I love him so, so much... But it's such a short, singular word, isn't it? 'Love'? and it's supposed to encompass all of these huge feelings you have for someone.
"I love how his clear eyes reflect his unwavering conviction. I love how he's such a caring and heroic person, despite the fact that he's prickly and doesn't necessarily think of himself as a kind person. I love how he doesn't speak much because whenever he talks it's because he has something important to say and how he speaks honestly from the heart. How he gave me a name that means 'love'... These are all things that make up some of the reasons why I love him.
"...But when Yusaku told me he'd rather be sent to the hospital rather than watch me be hurt protecting him again... When I see him lower his walls to act patiently and kindly towards children and undeveloped A.I.s... When he gives me one of his - unfortunately - rare smiles, the one that's at least 53.7% different than the way he smiles at anyone else... When he told me he loved me too, even before I had coded my human form and that he didn't care what I looked like so long as I was happy and together with him..."
"Well, there isn't a single word, or a million words that could accurately and wholly describe how I feel about him."
