[He is pretty sure Diluc would be mad if he told someone that a certain kind of smile randomly flusters him.
But speaking of getting flustered, Kaeya felt his face abruptly flush when he realized that Chuuya was actually being serious. Maybe. Possibly. Kaeya had been teasing because that's just what he does and figured Chuuya was just playing along.
And it wasn't that Kaeya wouldn't date Chuuya, he just always figured that between himself and Diluc, Chuuya only had eyes for Diluc. But apparently not.]
I.
[Oops, sent that too early. Ugh, this was embarrassing.]
[In the time it takes Kaeya to send that response, Chuuya's burying his face in his hand and dying a little. That had to be the most unsmooth way to ask someone out ever--
fuck.
And yeah, okay, the lack of skill to the asking is definitely why Kaeya thinks he isn't serious, isn't it?
But he can work with this. He's nothing if not honest about how he feels.]
Absolutely serious. I wouldn't ask you out as a jest.
['Sorry, I don't have a lot of experience at this' is an excuse, so he doesn't send it. he deletes that response before sending, types again.]
You've become really important to me. I like spending time with you a whole lot, and you're so easy to talk to I forget myself sometimes. I've worried I've crossed a line for awhile, with some of the things I say... hell, things I've thought. But...
[He is never ever ever going to live down the fact that one of his first thoughts on seeing Kaeya after he tried to kill him was how beautiful he was.]
Well, it's all true. You're fun to spend time with, you're funny and smart. I lose track of time when we're hanging out. And I don't know if you realize how rare that is with me, but it's a big deal to find someone I'm that comfortable with.
And I really would like to do something special with you. If you're interested.
[Thank fuck this is over text, it means he's at least semi-coherent.]
[Sorry Chuuya. Kaeya may take awhile to reply because he is too busy dying. It wasn't any different than when Diluc would say these sorts of things to his face. He was flustered and blushing down to his chest as he left the device open in front of him and hid his face in a pillow for a few moments in order to calm down and answer.]
I'm interested. You certainly have a way with words.

[Wow, Kaeya is probably the last person allowed to judge him for messing with Diluc--
That being said... beneath Chuuya's embarrassment for the whole mess, there's something he's noting in that response.
And zeroing in on.]
'Alas'? So if I had sent that to you, you'd welcome it?
[oh.]
no subject
I would, actually. I wasn't lying when I said it was a lovely picture.
[As lovely as it can be given the picture quality but Kaeya can imagine just fine.]
no subject
[And oh, Kaeya-- that was permission, in Chuuya's mind. He's going to have to Do Something with this.]
Well now... I'll have to keep that in mind for later. It's quite flattering, coming from someone like you.
I'll have to take a nice one, just for you.
no subject
[Of course it was permission! Not that he would outright say that, but the message was pretty clear.]
Well, I do try.
Oh-ho, really? At least take me out on a date first before you start wooing me with your body!
no subject
[He can only imagine what kind of flirtations Kaeya might send, though....
He's caught himself flirting a few times, just barely.]
And would you let me?
Take you out on a date, that is.
[It's impulsive and poorly planned, but that feels so much like an invitation, like Kaeya might welcome it.]

If you're actually serious.
Are you serious?
no subject
fuck.

I'm interested. You certainly have a way with words.
So... When this is all over?
no subject
I've never asked someone out before, okay? I don't got a lot of experience.
But yeah, after this curse business is over and done with seems like the best idea.
[Since running afoul of well, any of the carnage going on in the streets would probably put a damper on the date.]
I'll be looking forward to it.
no subject
But yes, I will be looking forward to it as well. I suppose I'll take this time to plan what we could do.
