Kaeya let out a (muffled) startled cry when he was promptly hit with a pillow after a rather amazing (if he did say so himself) round of sex. It was always a lovely change of pace when Diluc let him top and it was always a lovely sight to see. Diluc in the throes of passion will never not be beautiful to him, after all.
But that all went out the window as he shoved the pillow aside to pout at Diluc.]
What was that for? I thought we had an amazing time.
[Not to mention that felt oddly familiar... Not that Diluc made a habit of smacking him with pillows but it was far from the first time.]
[Diluc, currently mired in his own mortification, has his head shoved into the remaining pillow on his side of the bed and his arm tucked under it to pull it up over his face.
His voice is muffled but audible enough, and he draws his knees up slightly as he realises that Kaeya... probably deserves an explanation for suddenly being beaned with a pillow.]
[Kaeya understood Diluc regardless of him trying to smother himself with another pillow. But he was still at a loss on what was going on because the other man just confirmed it had all be great, they had cleaned up and were still basking in the afterglow, but now it seemed like one of them was going to die due to lack of oxygen by pillow if this kept going.
He scooted closer, then, when Diluc continued to speak. He even turned his head to hear better and once he did, abruptly frowned in confusion.]
Eh? My stupid-- What does that mean?
[But then, his face dawned a little of realization as he figured out just why that felt so familiar. Diluc used to do this a lot when they were kids, usually when Kaeya was smiling happily about something or other. For whatever reason that confused the heck out of kid!Kaeya, Diluc would blush hard and then smack Kaeya with a pillow! The pillow distracted him from the blushing enough to not think anything of it afterwards.
But now...]
...oh no, you're adorable, Luc. You had a crush on me for that long?!
[He promptly scooted over until he was straddling Diluc and he leaned onto that pillow (after trying to wrestle at least a part of it off his poor lover's face) to grin down at him.]
[He doesn't do much when Kaeya moves to straddle him, but he does resist visibly when the pillow over his face starts being pulled at. Diluc did do this a lot when they were kids and for reasons he didn't fully understand until he got older and realised what those excited flutterings in the pit of his stomach were.
But it wasn't proper. Kaeya was his father's ward, they were being raised side by side, they had the Knights to think about and Diluc, of course, would be expected to marry and produce an heir.
He relents enough that Kaeya can pull the pillow back and see at least half of his face. It's enough to show how hard he's blushing.] Shut up.
[Then he flips them both, a clumsy tangle of legs, and pins Kaeya down to the bed with a peculiar gentleness.]
Just shut up. You're insufferable. [Utterly. That's why he's kissing him of course.] How could I not have had a crush on you?
[Kaeya let out a surprised sound as he was flipped (damn it Diluc and your strength!) but then he was promptly kissed while pinned down gently.
Needless to say, he really was flattered at this revelation. Mostly because it also validated his own feelings growing up, but never having acted on those feelings because his life was complicated even before he told the other man the truth about his origins. Still, he returned the kiss and then, purposefully, grinned a toothy grin at him.]
Well, I mean, I am irresistible. I suppose it would have only been a matter of time...
[Diluc huffs, planting his palm over Kaeya's mouth for a moment before he moves it to kiss him again. Kaeya had admittedly had more reasons to smile lately and more confidence to smile like that and it would have only been a matter of time before Diluc's weakness to that particular look had been found out.]
You're terrible.
[Terrible, but very much loved regardless.
Diluc deliberately drapes his entire weight against Kaeya's chest, grinning right back at him.]
[Kaeya laughed into the huff of a groan as Diluc dropped his weight on his chest like that. But his arms managed their way around the pillow to play with that fluffy red and blue hair, still slightly damp with bath water and sweat. He only playfully smiled against against the hand over his mouth, keeping him silent for the moment.
He returned the kiss now that he was able and shrugged as best as he could while pinned down like this.]
Like you don't already have a weapon of your own. This just evens the playing field.
[Maybe he didn't want the playing field to be evened! It honestly feels like it puts him at a disadvantage, for Kaeya to know what that specific expression can trigger in him. Still, he can't really be angry about it... it would be silly to be angry about it.
He shifts his weight to settle next to Kaeya instead and presses his nose against the younger man's neck.]
Well, now you know. I'm only surprised it took you this long to figure it out.
[He grumbled a laugh, curling his arm around Diluc's shoulders to pass his fingers through the thick red mane.]
You stopped doing it when we couldn't share rooms anymore and the last four years wasn't exactly conducive to getting smacked with a pillow just for smiling...
[It's become easier to think back on those times of late. The sting that always came with reminiscing has gone as his love for this man has grown stronger, and he thinks that even if their relationship had not taken this turn they would still be able to look at their past with more fondness than before.
Diluc drops a kiss to the other man's shoulder, smiling into it.]
Yeah, yeah. Before you end up smothering me because I smiled too much.
[Kaeya teased lightly but settled in all the same. Honestly, he was a little flattered Diluc had a crush on him since their were kids. It validated his own crush, certainly.
But now was time to sleep he settled in easy as the drowsiness of the evening and their late night activities finally washed over him.]
[He's sure that they talked about it before, but he doesn't think that he told Kaeya just how far back his crush on the other man went. It was one thing to say he had had feelings for him when they were teenagers, but something else to admit that it went even further than that.]

Love you.

Love you too, Kae.
