Wǒ ài nǐ (Mandarin) - The first time he says it, it had been after dinner at Porthos. He walked you home. You looked at him in confusion, before you could question him, he kissed you, leaving you too stunned to remember his words.

사랑해요 (Korean) - The second time he told you. It was as you were laughing at Sakura's and Sugashita's squabbling. He has said it so quietly, you thought you might have misheard him.

Anh yêu em (Vietnamese) - The third time he used a phrase you didn't understand, you were in the middle of apologizing for dropping a canister of his favorite tea. You were in a rush making dinner for him to take home and you hadn't noticed the canister close by.

You always packed him food home, hoping he would eat it. You didn't know why he didn't eat when he was around others but you hoped that he would on his way home. You even packed enough for several people.

You assumed he would share with his family. He took your hand and kissed your fingers, noticing the burn marks from your hurry. He whispered those words, before you could question him, he helped you cook the remainder of the meal with a smile.

I love you too - You told him right after the fight with Red Chanpuru had concluded. You waited for him back in Makochi. He came back bruised and wounded, and changed. A heavy burden off his shoulders. He tried to speak before you covered his mouth with your hand. You whispered the words to him. His eye widened. You wiped the tear that escaped. The kiss you two shared was one of healing and reunion.

His smile was so soft in the latest chapter I had to use it as a banner 🥹💚💞

I did some searching online on the different ways to say “I love you,” in Mandarin, Korean, and Vietnamese but if it’s wrong please let me know so I can change it. 💞🥰💚
