Kaeya couldn't help smile softly as Diluc relaxed with his coffee like that. He rested his cheek against his hand, washing down his bite of the sandwich with the coffee as well. It was fantastic, as always.

"I didn't think I'd enjoy cooking and baking so much," He replied, setting the cup down to take another bite of the breakfast sandwich. "Or photography for that matter. I wouldn't have the time back home."

"You could easily make the time. Sometimes I think you're as bad as Jean."

But not so obvious in how he overworks himself. Not that Diluc can talk, with his nightly vigilante jaunts, but the man would not sit there and say he wasn't being a hypocrite in what he was pointing out.

He smiles to take the edge off any offence and reaches out to lightly curl his fingers against Kaeya's elbow.

"Have you found any new subjects for your new favourite hobby lately?"

[icepatch]

Kaeya pressed a hand to his chest. "You wound me. And Jean."

But, he was smiling with a soft chuckle. Kaeya was definitely able to hide how overworked he let himself become quite easily compared to Jean. Although, the only one who ever called him out on it was sitting right next to him. Growing up as brothers sort of allowed that kind of intuition.

"A fair few," He admitted with a slightly sheepish smile. "The dragons were quite amiable to having their photos taken. Many of the landscapes as the darkness recedes and there are no monsters nearby. But, I think my best are still the candid photos."

"Mm, I thought you might say that."

He wouldn't have expected Kaeya to be such a shutterbug, but then again, he wouldn't have expected them to be running a place like this together, or having this kind of relationship. Strange how things can take such turns when you're so far removed from most of your conflict. His fingers slide down Kaeya's forearm to his hand, where he holds it lightly.

"We should take the horses out again soon. What do you think?"

"I think that would be a wonderful idea," Kaeya replied with a smile, intertwining their fingers. "They certainly need to stretch their legs and I think we could do with a proper date."

With getting the shop going, in between quests and the events of late, they hadn't really had the time to do something like that. Not that he minded their quiet evenings and whatnot.

[phoenixblessed]

"We are overdue for one."

With a gentle, light tug, he pulls Kaeya's hand across the table towards him and kisses the back of it. His bright eyes don't leave the other man's gaze for a moment.

"I hope you don't feel like I've been neglecting you."

Does he think that Kaeya would feel that even for a moment? Not a bit, but he's allowed a little flirting.

[icepatch]

Kaeya can't help the blush or the fact that it reached his ears. Diluc could be such a sap, it was embarrassing. Except it wasn't, Kaeya just rarely handled all the attention very well.

He shook his head. "Of course not. But you can make it up to me anyway with that date."

[phoenixblessed]

He absolutely could be a sap and half the time it wasn't even intentional. Diluc is just a man in love and it shows, and why shouldn't it?

"I don't think it should be too difficult to align our schedules," he says, smiling up at the other man as he keeps Kaeya's hand near to his lips. "We have a few things to do around here, but nothing so urgent that it can't be put aside for an afternoon."
