[ he knows what Kaeya's doing, but lets it go for now; he's needed years to get over what happened on one traumatic night. Khaenri'ah was Kaeya's whole life before the age of ten. it makes sense that it wouldn't be that easy.

hopefully they do have pups. more than one, so Kaeya can be overwhelmed with sweet kisses and loving affection from all of his babies every single day, with the inherent knowledge that he'll never have to be alone again. that no matter what, he has a family that loves him wholeheartedly.

right now though, Diluc scrunches up his face. ]

Like you bit me hard.

[ tender. sore. tired. happy. ]

You're going to have to carry me back, I think. And find some way to cover me up because there's no way I'm showing any nudity to the maids or staff who are still awake. I think that'd just disturb everyone.

[ even if they'd all understand it's from the heat run, and even if Adelinde has washed his butt as a baby!! it's different!! ]

And just because you're my alpha now doesn't mean I'm going to roll over for you for everything, you know. I'm still going to be a pain in your ass.
