[ Diluc's correct in thinking that Kaeya won't believe those words. Diluc? Missing him? Please, he has a hard time believing that, but he does pause when Diluc brings up "back then". Really? Are they going to finally talk about it? ]

[ Hesitant to start speaking of the past and testing the waters (how serious is Diluc about this talk?), he doesn't answer the question. ]


Does it matter? I still betrayed you and your trust.

[ And the end result was still the same - he still lost Diluc. ]

[ Kaeya looks off to the side. He doesn't quite know what to say. He's always wished for a moment like this, to make amends and move on from that night, but now that he's actually here, he has no idea how to feel. On one hand, it's reliving that Diluc is finally talking to him about this and admitting things that even Kaeya never would have thought he'd say. However, on the other hand, he doesn't know what Diluc has in mind after this conversation. He doesn't want to get his hopes up. For all he knows, Diluc can pull a fast one and say that he just wanted to get this off his conscience before leaving. ]

[ His mouth is dry as he keeps his arms crossed. ]


... and? Where do you want to go with this?

[ Kaeya looks up right as Diluc embraces him. He's stiff, tense at first, unable to comprehend the moment, but it quickly dawns on him. Diluc is hugging him, for the first time since they were teenagers, and it's out of his own free will. Honestly, Kaeya thought he would never see this happen ever again, so he's stunned - touched, really. ]

[ He doesn't know what sprung this sudden development for Diluc, but he's not complaining because it's everything that he's wanted since their separation. He didn't think he'd get it, especially not when their relationship dove off into the deep end weeks ago, but that moment is happening now. ]

[ It takes him a few seconds before he can snap out of his disbelief and to finally allow himself to lower his walls. Out of his own comfort, and to ensure that this moment is real, he holds back just as tightly. ]


... are you sure? I may not leave this time.

[ He didn't want to leave in the first place. ]

[ Diluc can continue to be selfish and hold on because Kaeya wishes for the same thing. It's been so long since he felt Diluc's warm embrace. He'd be lying if he said that he didn't miss it. He can't help but bury his face in Diluc's shoulder and take a deep inhale, that familiar scent instantly bringing him back to their teenager years when things were much simpler. ]

[ He's content to stay like this for a bit longer, but ah, right, the argument at the house - the one that caused him to leave their temporary home in the first place. Since it happened, he's been thinking about it, how it occurred and how he acted. It's given him time to reflect and to also find that his actions were unreasonable. So, he shakes his head. Diluc's not the only one who should apologize for that argument. ]


I overreacted. You were right - you don't need permission from me to do anything.

[ ... and he pauses before adding this last part. ]

You can sleep with whoever you want to.

[ He's relieved to hear that Diluc will stop - for multiple reasons. One of them is his simple desire to want the best for him. He doesn't want to see his brother selling out his body for mere bingo squares. Diluc deserves to sleep with someone whom he really cares about, whom he loves, so that's one reason. The other... well, maybe he can bring that up for another day. They should take things one step at a time and get back to becoming friends first. ]

[ He simply replies back with a soft 'mm', not wanting to say more out of concern of accidentally letting something slip. Instead, he decides to express his gratitude for this talk happening in the first place. If Diluc didn't take this step, perhaps they really would have stopped talking forever. ]


... I appreciate that you've come to talk to me. To be honest, I didn't think you'd ever want to reconcile.

[ He feared it, and when they had that fight in the forest, that only confirmed it. To have Diluc in the same room, days later, apologizing and wanting to patch things up - he never would have thought it'd happen. And for all the work that Diluc has put into this talk, opening himself up, the least that Kaeya can do is repay back the favour. ]

But I'm glad that you did. It'd be nice to have a brother again.

[ haha brozoned ]

[ Dogluc looks up at Diluc before immediately turning its head away. Hmph!! Kaeya just smiles, unaware of Diluc's plight, and picks up Dogluc. The dog side-eyes Diluc after being set in Kaeya's lap. ]

I say you've convinced me to return, though that means that I'll have to submit my bingos now. I'm sure you don't want to continue sharing beds, even after we've made up.

[ He's pretty sure that he has a bingo line so they can finally get separate rooms. ]
calla: (kaeya009)

[personal profile] calla 2022-12-30 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kaeya pets Dogluc as they talk, now relaxed as he no longer has to worry about having to forget about Diluc. His only concern now is to improve his friendship with the other man so he could possibly move to the next stage. ]

Would you set up a winery or tavern again? I'm afraid that I won't be very useful beyond product tasting.

[ He jokes, but that's probably exactly what will happen. ]

[personal profile] calla 2022-12-30 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ A sip or two? Please, they both know that he will be drinking far more than that. ]

I'll leave it up to you.

[ Soon after their conversation, Kaeya returns home with Dogluc. He's in good spirits for the rest of the day, which extends into the next morning. ]

[ He leaves early, departing as he typically does, but he returns early. He strolls back to the farm just after noon with a bouquet of lamp grass in one hand. Wherever Diluc is, he plans on trying to sneak up behind him. He doesn't plan on doing anything malicious! He just wants to see if he can and stand there long enough until Diluc notices. ]
calla: (kaeya123)

[personal profile] calla 2023-01-03 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That depends.

[ Kaeya smiles, sliding up next to Diluc. He holds the bouquet behind his back with one hand, keeping it low to the ground so there's less of a chance of Diluc being able to see it. ]

Trade?

[ He holds out his free hand for the knife. ]
calla: (kaeya042)

[personal profile] calla 2023-01-03 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He gains the knife! He's glad that Diluc gives it to him rather than distrust him with it because he immediately brings out the flowers, setting them in Diluc's hand. ]

Have a break. I'll take it from here.

[ Kaeya knows that he doesn't do much around the house to help, but he can at least food prep! He's at least good for that! ]
calla: (kaeya001)

[personal profile] calla 2023-01-03 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
You say that as if I'm not always generous.

[ He goes over to wash his hands in the sink before picking up where Diluc left off with the vegetables. He'll occasionally ask in between their conversation on what needs to be done so he can finish the food prep. ]

Besides, it's been a while since I was last home.

[ So he can be in a happy mood! Which includes being generous. ]
calla: (kaeya009)

[personal profile] calla 2023-01-04 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, sure.

[ It's not that much work to set the table, psh, he's not that useless. He'll make quick work of the kitchen stuff so he can work on the table next. ]

So, how has your day fared?
calla: (kaeya046)

[personal profile] calla 2023-01-04 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Always so quick to assume that I'm getting into trouble.

[ He shakes his head as if he's hurt, but he still has a smile on his face. He doesn't actually care since it's right, he's always getting into trouble. ]

I had a stroll around town with Trahearne, that's all. We chatted about so and so, all that small-talk chatter that you hate.
