o look it me again | action some time late May

[After finding out that Kaeya's condition with the hanahaki had been far more dire than the man had wanted to let on to him, Diluc had been trying to act like the lie hadn't bothered him too much.

In one way that's true. He isn't angry about it. It hasn't changed how he looks at Kaeya or how he acts around him. But... it still plays on his mind. Most of the time he can push it aside but when he's asleep and unguarded the scenarios his mind is able to cook up would be enough to disturb anyone.

It's on one such night when, in the very early hours, the redhead sighs in his sleep. The sigh is followed by a deep breath in, then another, and then a soft pinch of his expression as his shoulders press into the mattress and the base of his spine arches up slightly. Diluc turns his head and mutters something, his fingers twitching, then he seems to settle... though only for a few seconds until the discomfort shows itself again in earnest.

Diluc does not have visible nightmares often, usually waking soundlessly and just pulling Kaeya in closer to him afterwards. This time does seem a little different.
