( The fact that his efforts have become fruitless makes Emil's face fall further. There's still a lot about Lalli that he doesn't know, but he does understand that when Lalli sinks, he can sink far. He doesn't know exactly what his boyfriend is saying, but it's...incredibly defeated. That's not good.
Emil unbunches his legs and crawls over to Lalli's hunched up form. Sorry you don't like being touched, and he might have to shove his hand in here, but Emil places his hand on top of Lalli's heart; the place where he'd had his own hand a minute ago. Maybe he should be a little more emphatic with his thoughts? Subtlety doesn't work well with a language barrier. )
It does hurt me. I hurt. ( He tries to repeat the sentence in his best Finnish, even if it's still a tad bit sloppy. ) But...I know we can do things in the meantime. I liked you before I knew what you were saying, and that won't change now...and we found ways to understand each other then too.
( Lalli probably has no fucking clue what he's saying, but it never stopped Emil before...why would it stop him now. ) It will be okay -- with me, with everyone else.
