I hate that damn vase... [The redhead says wistfully, looking up at the slowly brightening sky. He hated it, yet he had never thought to throw it away and it was still sitting on its plinth in the entrance hall of the winery along with a few other slightly out-of-place ornaments.]
It doesn't look good no matter where you put it.
[And yet!!
He's sure Adelinde found the Vision tucked inside the thing long before he did. Diluc wasn't going about cleaning the place after all. She hadn't told him, and eventually he had found it himself. Some consideration had been given to simply tossing the thing right at the man, but by then it had been so long that doing so felt ridiculous to do that. And besides, he'd missed the warm weight of it at his hip.]
[Kaeya laughed as Diluc began to complain about the vase, drinking the last of his tea and setting is aside as his tail swished on the wooden deck from side to side. He lifted his hand and shrugged one shoulder.]
Why not a vase? I never said I wanted to be subtle about it. Besides, I doubt you even knew the Vision was in there at first, hm?
[It had taken a bit after Diluc accepted the vase to start showing up with the Vision at his hip. He knew it wouldn't happen overnight, but the amount of time it took let Kaeya realize that Diluc likely hadn't known it was in there. He wondered what triggered to look inside of it, unless it was Adelinde. Probably Adelinde.]
[Not the first time Kaeya has expressed such a sentiment, though Diluc rarely denies it. When it comes to him one must be a little forceful, particularly if trying to get him to do something that he might not wish to. Back then he wouldn't have wanted to have his Vision presented to him and he would not have wanted to feel like he owed Kaeya a debt for keeping it safe as he had, so the younger man had chosen the right course of action in the end.
His own tail swishes from side to side, occasionally bumping against Kaeya's as the movements synchronise.]
I expect that Adelinde found it before I did. She never told me, one way or the other. [The winery's staff had always respected Diluc's wish to not speak about the past and they did not mention it, at least not in front of him.] I actually discovered it in there myself in the end.
[His expression turns thoughtful for a few moments, then he leans a little of his weight against Kaeya's side.]
[Kaeya turned as Diluc leaned against him, he laid his head against the redhead's. It had been a pretty relaxing morning, but of the two them, he was the one that got the more restful sleep since he wasn't the one with the nightmare. So it was understandable that Diluc was still a little tired.]
Sleep a little more then. I can clean up here. Maybe get breakfast started before Lumine takes over the kitchen. Hm?
[He doesn't relish the idea of going back to bed by himself. When had he become so dependant on Kaeya's company? The thought occurs to him as he glances sidelong at the younger man, then he nods with a soft sigh and pushes himself up.]
Yeah, all right. [It's also not like him to go back to bed once he's up, but his sleep had not been restful at all and he has no pressing concerns that day.]
[He idly laces his fingers into Kaeya's while they head back to the bedroom, but when he sits down he doesn't try to pull the other man after him. Instead he leans forwards, pressing his forehead gently to Kaeya's sternum.]
We can go out and get something, how does that sound?
[Kaeya honestly could not help the soft "aww" that left him when Diluc pressed his forehead against him like that. He was not one to really coo at anything except perhaps cute animals or when Klee was being especially adorable. His fingers gently carded through the fluffy curls as he considered the slight change in breakfast plans.
He saw nothing bad about it, aside from having to actually put on more appropriate clothes and it would probably be enough time for the animal features to disappear so putting in proper pants on particular weren't a hassle. He would have to think of a place then.]
Sure, why not? I will think of a place unless you think of one in your dreams, hm~?
[He would probably just spend the next couple hours doing some light cleaning. It was his turn coming up anyway.]
[It felt like the right idea in the moment and even though he feels his cheeks heat at the strange intimacy of it he doesn't move his forehead away from where it's resting. While Kaeya combs his fingers through his hair, Diluc's wolf ears twitch and flick back slightly each time the other man's hands come near to them.]
I'm sure there are plenty of options. [He says, though he is mildly amused by the idea that he might wake up spontaneously having an idea of where to go.
With a sigh he sits up, coaxes Kaeya down to kiss him, and then smiles.]
And I mean it. Wake me up. Don't let me sleep all morning.
[He chuckled softly. He wanted to pick a good place but he needed to mentally catalog what was out there and what seemed to be the best choice for a day like today.
He leaned down to kiss the other man, smiling all the while.]
Yes, yes. 8am, on the dot.
[He didn't look at the clock but he was only guessing that it was around 6am by now. Either way, he would do as asked. He gently pushed Diluc down to the bed with a hand on the his chest.]
Now, get some sleep and be sure to wake up with an appetite.
[He goes down easily, not resisting the push against his chest, and settles himself comfortably with one eye half-open and his gaze slanted towards Kaeya. Though it doesn't happen often, these times when the other man can confidently look after him like this are always nice.]
Love you. [Diluc says then, the words half-muffled by a yawn as he shuts his eyes entirely and lightly grips the corner of the pillow in one hand.]

Why a vase of all things? It's hardly subtle.

One must be a little forceful with you.

Anything in particular in mind you want for breakfast? So I know when to start.
