[ Infuriating man, persistent as a bug bite, and unbearable as one, too. Not that Diluc expected that Kaeya would fall for his bluff, if it can even be called that. This playful flirting comes so easily, and he doesn't have to wonder if Kaeya doesn't catch his real meaning. It's not different from the bickering they've been doing for years, really, except that they are infinitely less bitter about it right now.

It's hard to be bitter when Kaeya's warm body spills over him, grinding into him, mouth gliding over his throat. It feels better than words can say. How did he ever go without this? Could he ever bear to let it go, now that he's captured it?

That's a question that will need answering eventually, but not just yet. This afternoon is theirs for the taking just as the night before was. ]

I'm already on my way out the door.

[ His knees snap up around Kaeya's waist, holding him against him. It's rare for him to be so indulgent in his own wants, but with how overdue this is, he doesn't feel too guilty. The Angel's Share will be well taken care-of in his absence, and there's nothing else so pressing that he needs to leave this bed anytime soon. He laces his fingers behind Kaeya's neck, tipping his head back to better facilitate Kaeya's access to his neck. ]

Driving my carriage back to the city...hm. Good thing we cleaned up the bar last night.

[ Since. You know. ]
