His first instinct was to be offended and a little mad at being called an idiot, but it quickly fell away under shreds of guilt. Seventy years was a lifetime and while a chunk of those years might as well not count for the fact they were asleep, the remaining were more than enough to prove something that shouldn't need proving.
He'd proven plenty once he'd agreed to go further with their relationship.
"I don't think you're not serious, I know you are, It's just..." He went silent as he fought to find the words he was looking for. What it boiled down to was Jet figuring he wasn't really enough for Albert and that his partner would realize that once the right woman came along.
He didn't know how to say that without using words that might sound like they came from his father instead.
He moved and shifted in the other direction so he could wrap his arms around Albert's shoulders and pressed his nose into his fiance's neck.
"M' Sorry....I'm..I don't want to lose you to someone else. But I don't want to end up in your way either."
He buried his eyes and forehead into the junction of Albert's neck and shoulder, his voice growing quieter half to still be heard and half hoping he wouldn't be as he forced through his own head to get the words out his mouth.
"I just want you to be happy."
And while Jet knew he could do that for Albert at times, he also had an idea of how much grief he'd brought the German over the years. Part of his mind couldn't shake that surely his partner could find someone that gave him the former and not the latter.
