[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.
[Gods, with all his heart, he loves him.]
