[Diluc hears that catch of breath, and his touch lingers -- though it was going to linger anyway if he's being honest with himself. He steps closer and leans in to press a kiss to the back of Kaeya's neck before he finally moves to step into the shower.
He looks back and doesn't bother hiding the smile at Kaeya's words. When it's just the two of them in these quiet moments along together, he smiles more, small glimpses of the young man he'd been.]
Yes, you told me so. I know. [He holds out a hand towards him.]
[He stares at him. It occurs to him - not for the first time - that Diluc is a gorgeous man. His heart thuds hard in his chest but not from desire.
Diluc smiling so much is wonderful. He wants him - both of them - to be happy. It’s enough to forget they’re both naked and turn at take his hand. He threads their fingers together and steps close enough their sides brush.
Then his brain catches up with his heart. He looks down.
Oh. He jerks his head back up and pretends he didn’t look. He’s blushing and stammers out.] L-lets continue.
[Diluc wants that too. Kaeya deserves to be happy -- not that veneer of happiness and good cheer he knows Kaeya is so good at presenting to the world -- genuinely, truly happy.
That said, shy Kaeya has proven to be such a surprise that he barely knows what to do with how adorable he finds it. Even now. He catches that look down. Mostly because he's giving one of his own.
Diluc will not pretend he did not look. Now that he's committed to this, he's a great deal less shy about it.]
Yes, let's.
[He agrees, leaning in to press a kiss Kaeya's cheek, stepping in all the closer. The water is hot and Kaeya is close and it's the best sort of morning.] Can I shampoo your hair?
Yes, if I can scrub your back. [This is the best morning he has ever had. Embarrassment aside.
It keeps sticking in his head that Diluc in his usual way isn’t that shy at all. Unlike him. Well, he would be the same way if it didn’t mean anything.
But, he cares. He loves Diluc. This matters so much. The affection wells up in him to mix with the desire warming him up. He kisses Diluc’s neck then his jaw. He lifts their joined hands and kisses the back of Diluc’s hand.
He feels giddy and light headed. He hasn’t thought that far ahead in how he feels. But the words burn in his heart. He loves Diluc.]
