[Kaeya wanted to berate himself for even contemplating sneaking into Diluc's apartment. It was stupid, really. Thunderstorms weren't terribly common, thankfully. The weather fluctuated between warm and cold due to straddling Summer and Autumn, but it generally produced more windy conditions than thunderstorms. Still, they did happen and Kaeya was still scared of them. It had sort of become a weirdly comforting routine for Diluc to come over unprompted or for Kaeya to seek out Diluc and simply be in each other's company until the storm passed over, sometimes even spending the night if it was late enough.
But this time, it was one in the morning. Diluc wasn't answering his phone (for obvious reasons) and Kaeya wasn't sure if sneaking in would put the other man on some kind of alert and attack him with friendly fire (pun totally intended mwehehe).
But, eventually, another crack of thunder won out and Kaeya was silently making his way out of his apartment in just his pajamas and socks, down the hall a few doors down, and silently entering Diluc's. Yes, he had a key, so he wasn't breaking and entering, okay?
There was a guest room they Kaeya could probably just sneak into, but what was the point of all this if he was just going to be by himself? No, Kaeya wanted what he used to have. He wanted Diluc and his protective presence. So, he carefully padded through the living room to his room. Sure enough, Diluc was only sleeping mostly towards one side, just enough for Kaeya to slide in and settle next to the other man. He was as careful as he could possibly be, he didn't touch or push or anything. He simply settled under the covers and tried very hard not to jump at the next rumble of thunder.]
...?
[He couldn't help the sudden confused sound as he looked over his shoulder at Diluc's sleeping figure. Something wasn't adding up here.]

You're awake, aren't you.
[It wasn't a question.]
