[Discord instinctively holds onto Salieri, almost clinging, afraid to let go right now. And then--
Then those words. Four different languages, but meaning and feeling in them so clear even if he wasn't able to understand them. And he can feel his breath halting for a second, then two, three... and he swallows, trying to compose himself. He can't go falling apart now--
(but if not now, then when?)
--this is difficult enough for the both of them without him feeling like he's being taken apart by the wave of emotion going through him, somehow both warm and icy at the same time, comforting and terrifying. Loving.
Oh.]
Four different ways. Overachiever.
[Muttered, quiet, joking, but he's still holding on a bit too tight.]
...I love you.
[It bears saying again and again right now. He's clinging to the words as much as he is to Salieri.]
