[The pleasure of knowing he flustered Kaeya in a public place is only half the reason that he does this. He entirely means it, naturally, and doesn't want to wait.]

I didn't.
I just wanted you to know how precious you are to me.
It feels important to tell you when the thought strikes me.

[Kaeya knows Diluc means every word. That's what makes it extra frustrating.]

And why not when I'm home? Surely the impact would be more meaningful if you said it to my face directly.

[His ears were burning.]

[He doesn't want to bring down the mood by pointing out that either of them could vanish at any time. Something that had been brought to the front of Diluc's mind lately.

Diluc tells Kaeya these things when he can because he can never be sure if it will be the only chance he gets.]

Indulge me with this one thing, won't you?
I love you and I want you to know it.

[icepatch]

[Good, because it's something Kaeya always thinks about and doesn't want to.]

I'm not entirely sure how this 'indulges' you, Master Diluc. But I'll take it, I suppose.

[phoenixblessed]

I'm asking you to allow it, that's all.
Pick up some tea while you're out, won't you?

[icepatch]

I always do. You're the one who does it for nefarious purposes. 💙

What kind of tea?

[phoenixblessed]

Any you like.

[icepatch]

Then I'm picking some random flavor and you better like it.

[He won't because that would be a waste of tea.

But then, perhaps a few moments later...]

I love you.

[phoenixblessed]

I love you too, Kaeya. With all my heart, and I hope to never give you a reason to doubt it.
