[ With their blooming friendship, Kaeya often invites himself (often unannounced) into Trahearne's space wherever he is. This afternoon, though, he invites Trahearne into his own home for a glass of wine and talk. Nothing like alcohol to bring people together. ]

So, Marshal, what's on your mind?

[ They're currently seated at the dining table with two empty glasses. Kaeya pours a bottle of dandelion wine into both of them. ]

[ Not like Trahearne needs alcohol (or sex, even) as motivator to hang out with Kaeya. He's nice! And fun. And friendly.

As the glass fills, he takes his spot beside Kaeya. ]

Thank you, Kaeya. Cheers.

[ He holds up his glass before taking a sip. Mm. ]

You know, this isn't my first time here. [ He glances around at the room. ] I came here on the very first day with Diluc. We played chess.

[ Smile! Trying to ease the tension he inevitably knows is coming. ]

I didn't know you were brothers.

[ It's a good thing that Kaeya is extremely good at masking his emotions because at the mention of Diluc, he doesn't stop even for a beat. He just lifts his glass to cheer Trahearne before sipping on the wine. He places on a small smile. ]

Yes, we go far back. We used to be close, if that's hard to believe.

[ Back then, they were attached at the hip and would enjoy each other's company. Nowadays, it'd be hard to believe that they're actually brothers. ]

He hasn't been causing you any trouble, is he?

Not at all.

[ He's been bothering Syrlya though, for some reason?? Not that Trahearne knows that. ]

Used to be? [ Interesting wording, and the implication is kind of sad. ] Then perhaps this arrangement will provide the spark that will rekindle your closeness.

[ With the island's small population, Kaeya and Syrlya are quickly seated at their table. At Kaeya's request from earlier in the day, they've set up a quaint candlelit spot in the corner of the restaurant where they can have their privacy. Settling into the chair and looking through the menu, he glances up. ]

Would you care to join me for a glass of wine?

[It was a bit of a surprise, the offer. But Kaeya has seen Syrlya's card a few times now so he must have noticed the 'candlelit dinner' at the bottom.

So he agrees, and although he arrives in the usual ornate clothing he always wears, he brings Kaeya a single yellow daffodil to mark the occasion. An appreciative gesture before they're seated at the table.]

Gladly. [He props the menu up slightly to read.] Any recommendations?

[ The daffodil is very much appreciated! He has placed it safely on the side of their table so it doesn't get crushed. ]

Perhaps you'd like to try some dandelion wine. It's a specialty from where I'm from.

Dandelion wine? I've never tried such a thing before--all right, let's get a bottle of that. [You normally get a bottle at fancy restaurants, right?? Anyway, he's looking over the menu.

And decides to worry about that a bit later as he looks back up, leaning his arms on the table.] So, Captain Kaeya--[Yes, he's heard about that.] How have you been lately? I hope things are going well for you.

[For once, Diluc is in a relatively good mood. He's resolved to Talk to Kaeya, which is a daunting task, but continuing to let the issue fester while he stews in his feelings won't push either of them closer to a resolution. There's no time like the present, no sense in wasting time, and so Diluc has invited Kaeya on an outing with the intent to make his feelings known with no room left for doubt.

With that in mind? They're heading out on a picnic— a picnic date. Diluc made sure to tell Kaeya to dress appropriately for the occasion, and with his arms loaded up with all their picnic goodies, he isn't letting Kaeya lift a finger.

They're about halfway to their destination and Diluc has yet to realize that he's been unable to lie all day, but that's not going to change anytime soon, is it? Totally not. Kiss his ass, dramatic irony.]

...When we get there, I'll need your assistance spreading out the picnic blanket.

[ Kaeya's surprised that Diluc invites him out for a picnic, but he doesn't refuse it. Although slow, he is glad that they're reconciling with one another (even with the Tree Drama up in the air) and starting to spend more time together. He doesn't know if they'd ever get back to how they used to be, but he'd like to still try. ]

[ He doesn't fight much when Diluc insists on carrying everything. Less work for him! He just strolls by his side. ]

Would you like to spread me out too?

[ haha... unless...? ]

[Reconciliation is going to require that Diluc be the one to open the door and invite Kaeya in. Just as it was when they were children, if he isn't the one to take Kaeya's hand and guide him along, he'll never move from where he's comfortably rooted, no less afraid of uncertainty now than he has ever been.

That's fine with Diluc. A return to form is what they need, and soon enough, he'll make it clear to Kaeya that he has no intention of letting go of his hand ever again. Reconciliation starts today. Their future starts today.]

Of course. What kind of foolish question is that?

[.........................Unless?! Diluc startles himself with his honesty, stopping in place to question his own sanity. Did. Did he say that out loud? Did he have no choice but to say that out loud...?

Diluc stands there in silence like a prisoner awaiting his death sentence. He knows who is to blame here, but more pertinent is whatever nonsense is about to come out of the mouth of the man right next to him. Go on then, Kaeya. Make some snide comment. Laugh at him!! Diluc knows its coming.]

[ ..................... well, it's a good thing that this conversation didn't happen over a meal because Kaeya would have choked on something by now. "Of course"? "Of course"?? Kaeya stops in place as well to stare at Diluc, wondering for a split second if this is a joke, but he knows that Diluc would rather stab himself with his own claymore than ever make a joke like this. At the same time, though, he doesn't know what's happening (he has an idea), so he decides to prod. ]

Forgive me for the foolish question. I didn't know that you were so keen on sleeping with me. Should I think otherwise?

[Damn it all, his hands are full and he's unwilling to waste good food by dropping it in favor of covering his mouth, so he's just— panicking, apparently, and power walking away from Kaeya has if that could possibly help. Diluc is stone-faced, but he's red right up to his ears and blending into his own hair like camouflage.

The powers that be compel him to be honest, but he doesn't have to like it, all but yelling as he briskly shuffles away from the source of his every problem. Embarrassing.]

You should, you idiot. How has it not been obvious to you all along? I don't want any other man touching you.

[Or woman, but like. Look, Kaeya. Diluc isn't blind. He knows where your preferences lie.]

[ Kaeya immediately starts to tail behind, catching up so he can be right by Diluc's side and lean in. Judging by Diluc's reaction, this isn't a lie, but what would compel him to admit such things? Kaeya has an idea (and he makes a mental note to toss something nice into the Goddess' lake later). ]

Ah, is that why Trahearne bothered you?

[Enjoy it while you can, Kaeya. Diluc is mortified beyond belief.]

Naturally. I'm surprised you aren't laughing at my expense right now.

[Because the feelings totally aren't mutual, right?]

Mm? Why should I laugh? These are your true feelings, are they not?

[ Well, it is funny! He never would have thought that he'd ever hear these words from Diluc's mouth, but he also knows that he shouldn't laugh at Diluc's feelings. After all, they're feelings that he doesn't want to reject. ]

They are, Kaeya. And I hope they're feelings you'll return.

[There's no point in running from it anymore. He's already said too much, and perhaps this conversation wouldn't have gone much better were he able to address it on his own terms. Now that he's had no choice but to spit out the worst of it first, he may as well continue. After all, he won't know how Kaeya feels until he puts him on the spot, opening the door by first making his own feelings clear.

Arriving at their destination beneath a large, shady oak tree, Diluc sets down their picnic basket and begins spreading out the blanket. Once that's done, he turns to Kaeya, taking his hand to make it clear to him that this is a conversation they're having whether he's fully prepared or not. Diluc isn't either, but life isn't going to wait for either of them to find that perfect moment to address feelings that have been festering for far too long.]

From the time we were children, I was deeply infatuated with you, but by the time I understood what my feelings for you meant, we'd gone our separate ways. I was prepared to bury those feelings and let them die, but letting them fester only made them worse. I can't... stand the idea of anyone else having you.

[ "And I hope they're feelings you'll return." ]

[ Kaeya remains surprisingly quiet at this response, going through his own thoughts as he watches Diluc set up their picnic. When Diluc takes his hand, he looks down at it, mouth going dry as he listens. This is definitely not a conversation that Kaeya thought that they'd be having, though he knew that the moment that Diluc revealed his feelings, he would have to eventually show his own hand. ]

[ ... he just wishes it wasn't so hard for him to tell the truth these days. ]

[ His hand tightens around Diluc's, staying silent for a handful of seconds after Diluc finishes talking. He's uncharacteristically having trouble with his words, reverting back to that shy boy who had a hard time making eye contact, but he doesn't want to accidentally catch Diluc's anger and ruin the moment. When he does speak, it's low. ]

... I didn't think you'd ever return my feelings. [ He starts slow, looking down at their joined hands. ] I knew I loved you since we were young, but I never said anything because of my past. Then when you left...

[ He lets out a sigh. There's another pause of silence. ]

Do you mean it? Are you truly infatuated with me?

[...There's the boy he fell in love with. So quiet, timid, too shy to even make eye contact with someone he knows and trusts. This is the Kaeya Diluc has so desperately missed, the one he feared might never return... but he's finally returned. How could Diluc possibly be angry?

As Kaeya speaks, Diluc's thumbs brush along the backs of Kaeya's hands. That timid boy he's always loved has at long last returned and so has the fiery boy who coaxed Kaeya out of his shell with no small amount of affection. It's evident in Kaeya's eyes that he's nervous, and seeing that, Diluc is quick to comfort him.

He won't distract Kaeya by tugging him into a hug, not yet, but his hands envelop Kaeya's and warm them with a firm, grounding touch. In direct contrast, he speaks softly to Kaeya when it comes time to answer him not unlike he would in their youth.]

I mean it, Kaeya. I love you now just as I always have. I'm sorry I let my anger and my pain stand in the way of what matters most to me for as long as I did.

[And his heart still aches seeing all that nervousness in Kaeya's gaze, but he doesn't tug him into his embrace just yet. Instead, Diluc gently pulls on their joined hands to guide Kaeya closer, sealing their lips in a kiss that's chaste, gentle, and lingering.]

...I'm sorry I left you alone for so many years. I thought I'd been the one abandoned and left behind by everyone I loved, but in reality, I was the one abandoning the person closest to my heart. Kaeya... I hope there comes a day where you can forgive me for my folly.

[ Kaeya continues to stare down at their hands, finding comfort in the way that Diluc holds them. When he's pulled closer, guided into a soft kiss, he holds onto it for as long as Diluc will let him. Once parted, he stays close - close enough that when he lets out a small laugh, his breath skirts across Diluc's lips. ]

... ha, I've forgiven you long ago.

[ Because how could he hold a grudge against Diluc? The one who has captured his heart in its entirely? It only took a few days after their fight for Kaeya to forgive him, to shoulder most of the blame for why they were no longer together. ]

If you truly mean it, then promise me that you won't leave again. That you'll stay with me from here on out.

[...Then the feeling is mutual, isn't it? Diluc is so overwhelmed with relief that he tugs Kaeya onto his lap and hugs him so tightly his ribs might ache. He's been holding onto all this pent up affection for years, please understand.]

That's a significant weight off my heart. Well then, I promise to never again leave your side.

[He's just so overwhelmingly happy right now?? He's eager to give Kaeya another kiss — a deeper one — just as soon as he's had his fill of hugging him. Oh, but one other thing—]

But you'll have to wait until we've returned to Mond to have a proper ring put on your finger. I don't know what constitutes marriage in the mind of this goddess, but I have my own plans for you once we return home.

[He's wanted to marry Kaeya since they were children, after all, having never grown out of that juvenile desire. This has been a long time coming.]

[ Kaeya lets out another laugh, albeit a little strained due to his ribs being crushed, but he's happy. He wraps his arms around Diluc and rests his chin on the other's shoulder. ]

Thinking of marriage already? My, you're fast.

[ But not surprising, considering the nature of this island and, well, Diluc has never been the type to dillydally. He likes to get to work right away. ]

But if you're planning on taking my hand, you'd have to assure me that you can take me in other ways too.

[

]

Please. Surely you recall how I proposed to you when we were just boys.

[Diluc knows what he wants and wastes no time taking it, but ah... Speaking of taking? He huffs a laugh, and while he's never known Kaeya to be anything but brazen, his suggestion is awfully bold... not that Diluc hasn't thought about it plenty.

Easing back, he arches a brow, a smirk tight on his lips.]

You ought to know better than to tease me. This is hardly the place to claim you as mine.

[Unless...................?]

[ He chuckles. Of course he remembers Diluc's childhood proposal. How could he forget? He also hasn't forgotten how easy it can be to rile Diluc up. ]

I don't see anyone around.

[ :) ]

[He's as easy to rile as ever, but there's one thing sparing him from defiling Kaeya hear and now on this picnic blanket. He even subtly looks around to ensure they're alone..................]

...Unless you carry around a handy bottle of lubricant in your pocket, we're not having sex here.

[Famous last words.]

[ Famous last words :) ]

[ Without saying a word, Kaeya just reaches into his pocket and pulls out a bottle. He holds it up. ]

Edited 2023-02-08 00:11 (UTC)

[..............................]

...You can't be serious. What's your problem?

[ :) ]

What's wrong? Aren't I solving our little issue?

Where do I even begin...?

[You know what? He doesn't even want to know. Snatching that bottle of lube, Diluc stuffs it in his locket to warm it up and thrusts Kaeya onto the picnic blanket. Mumble mumble, stupid Kaeya.............]

...You know what this means, don't you? We're an item now, so I expect you won't go bedding anyone but me from now on.

[He doesn't want for an answer, settling over top of Kaeya on elbows and knees and kissing that chest the way he's always wanted to kiss it. Ahh, so busty.]

[ Kaeya falls back onto the blanket, his smile growing only a bit wider at Diluc's exasperation. He clearly finds the entire situation amusing, but he doesn't dig any deeper. Instead, he focuses on Diluc, watching him delicately kiss his chest with a heartrate that's quickly increasing. ]

Of course, does that really need to be said? If I recall, I only started bedding others when you started to.

[ Kaeya only went on his slut spree after Diluc started getting it on. ]

[No need to remind him!! Diluc's taking his time kissing all the way up to the curve of Kaeya's jaw, but it doesn't elude his notice that Kaeya's heart is hammering away in his chest. He may act unaffected, but his heart tells a different story. Cute.]

Then neither of us have anything left to worry about, do we? You're mine now.

[Whew, jealous much? Diluc sucks out a bruise on Kaeya's neck for good measure. Be his, little ho.]

[ Wow, someone's jeaaaaaaaaaaaaaalous. Kaeya's smile only grows, even as Diluc leaves a hickey on his neck that he knows everyone else will see. He doesn't mind, though, as he rather enjoys being marked. ]

Possessive, aren't we? Are you that eager to mark me for the others to see?

[Kaeya doesn't seem to mind, so Diluc helps himself and continues marking Kaeya's neck up before venturing back down to his chest to mark him there too. He just can't help himself, man. Those tiddies have him feeling feral.]

So what if I do? I have no qualms with letting everyone on this island know who you belong to.

[And Kaeya isn't complaining, so Diluc will eagerly continue, thanks!!]

[ Kaeya is certainly not complaining, so he lets Diluc do his thing, you're welcome!! ]

Then don't mind me and continue, but I hope you do know that there's more than just my chest.

[ is that a sword or is he just happy to see diluc :) ]

[Hello there, Kaeya Jr. Diluc snorts, easing away from his promised chest to kiss a line down Kaeya's front, undoing his abomination of an outfit as he goes. Get naked, bitch.]

Aren't you eager? I'd have liked to kiss you a bit more before taking you into my mouth, but it seems like someone can't wait.

[C'mere, little feller. Undoing Kaeya's pants is kind of a nightmare, but Diluc manages to free his cock after some serious effort. Ah... That sure is Kaeya's dick. He'd remark that it's bigger than the last time he saw it, but that was years and years ago. Instead, Diluc loosely wraps his fingers around the base and kisses the very tip.]

You haven't changed one bit.

[Wow!!!]

Edited 2023-02-08 01:17 (UTC)

[ It is absolutely a nightmare to strip him down, but luckily, Diluc doesn't need to do it on his own. With Kaeya's eager assistance, he's freed from the confines of his ridiculous outfit. He's semi-hard, not yet fully erect but that won't take long. In Diluc's hand and at the kiss, Kaeya Jr twitches. ]

Have you been thinking about my cock that often to remember?

[ Wow!! ]

[Kissing a line right down to the base of Kaeya's cock, Diluc doesn't miss a beat.]

I remember it being much smaller than my own. That's all.

[Wow!!! Before Kaeya can bitch, Diluc wraps his tongue around the tip to gently lick him to full hardness.]

[ Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[ Kaeya absolutely was going to start bitching, but then Diluc wraps his tongue around him and he sucks in a breath. The contrast between the cool air and the wet heat of Diluc's mouth intensifies the sensation, and soon enough, Kaeya reaches down with one hand to slip into Diluc's hair. He won't push Diluc down onto his dick and force him to choke, but he will nudge him to get the show on the road. ]

[It's hardly any surprise that Kaeya is eager to feel more of his mouth, the cool mountain breeze chilling his skin while Diluc's mouth is inviting and warm, but he intends to take his time. This is the first time he's done something like this with Kaeya, and firsts are important, aren't they? He'll at least suck Kaeya a little further into his mouth, but Diluc's watching him through his lashes as he does. His reward for his efforts will be any notes of pleasure Kaeya lets loose, the flush of his cheeks and the twists of his expression.]

[ Diluc is rewarded with a flushed face and a shaky breath that Kaeya barely manages to control. He could close his eye and focus solely on the sensation, but he wants to watch this. The sight of Diluc, the man who held his heart for so many years, sucking him off is incredibly hot - and it's at this point that he removes his eyepatch so he can look down with unobstructed vision. ]

[ Once the patch is thrown to the side, his hand slips back into Diluc's hair and he whines. Diluc may want to take his time, but Kaeya is impatient and he desperately wants his cock to be swallowed whole. ]

[Ah... Kaeya's wanted this for some time, hasn't he? Diluc is almost afraid to let his mind run away with that thought, but it must be true. That's why he can't continue to tease and make Kaeya wait, giving him what he wants and working himself up to take all of him in his mouth.

He feels his own arousal build, his slacks uncomfortably tight, but that doesn't matter right now. All that matters is pleasing Kaeya and finally tasting him on his tongue, reaching up a hand to interlace their fingers while he sucks Kaeya off in earnest.]

[He didn't know what had possessed him to agree to take Kaeya home with him. Or had he suggested it...? He couldn't remember, the alcohol was making everything fuzzy. He was still largely cognizant-- he'd have been the first to tell Kaeya he wasn't of sound mind to make decisions if he weren't, but... Well, this didn't really feel like anything he would be abjectly against, given his penchant for making awful choices.]

[The lingering, buzzing memory of Kaeya's lips on his surely had nothing to do with it.]

[His farmhouse wasn't anything fancy. It was livable, if somewhat bare, and for some bizarre reason the turned-out underside of the topmost blanket on his bed was dizzying, unfortunately matching a stripe along the bottom of anything else made of fabric. Still, the door locked, and the bedroom had another door besides, even if he left it open in case Kaeya didn't want to feel boxed in. He sat on the corner of his bed, posture remarkably lax for as uptight as he tended to be, and toed off his loafers to nudge them alongside the foot of it.]

...so, to perhaps clear the uncertainty of the room, which of the sexual squares are you after, here? [God how can he still be so pretentious when drunk??]

[ Kaeya is equally buzzed, also finding it difficult to remember how they've arrived at Akechi's house. He recalls making a pitstop at the shop on the way to pick up some "necessities" for their sexual acts; that's obvious enough with the small plastic bag wrapped around his wrist, a bottle of lube waiting within. ]

[ Sitting on the edge of the bed, he also kick off his boots. Without a beat, he answers Akechi's question. ]

Obedience.

[ He knows that they both share this square, so why not? ]

[The immediate answer curls an anxious little loop behind Akechi's navel. It's-- it's hot, actually. Obedience? He hopes the way he feels the heat in his cheeks doesn't mean he's gone any redder than he already was from the alcohol.]

You've thought about it, then.

[ After dropping the bag on the nightstand, Kaeya places a hand on the mattress to leverage himself as he leans in close. His breath skirts across Akechi's lips. ]

Mm, is that a problem?

[His heartbeat throbs between his eyes and he tries to not let that show, humming in return.]

No, considering I knew what I was walking into with this.
