I am glad to hear it.

[Anxiously, he shifts from foot to foot, taking a peek down the hall. At least no one is watching him...]

If you are feeling up to it, may I come in? I have something I would like to discuss with you.

[Why is this so difficult?! Dimitri can feel his face heating up and he hasn't even said anything worth getting worked up over yet. It feels like his heart is beating in his throat, choking any words he wants to say. He stands ramrod straight, swallowing hard to try and clear that lump.]

I... am sure you have already guessed what this is regarding, but before I say anything, I want you to know that your friendship is more important to me than anything else. So... if you would like me to keep it to myself, that is what I will do.

I have...

[His voice gets softer, wavering slightly with the anxious thrumming of his heart.]

I have fallen for you, Felix. No — I think perhaps I have always felt this way, but I did not realize it. We were so young when we were still together all the time, after all. Being close to you now, though, I realize just how much you mean to me.

[Dimitri fixes his gaze on Felix's feet, worrying at his lower lip.]

[The weight of anxiety lifts as Felix steps in, and Dimitri gently envelops him in his arms as he's longed to do from the moment Felix opened his eyes again. Smiling, he rests his cheek on the crown of his head, so giddy that he almost laughs. But Felix's somber tone has that smile melting away, some of that giddiness shifting into nervous energy instead.]

...do our duties make it too difficult for you?

[He wouldn't blame him. The thought of having to marry some unknown woman when he feels this deeply for Felix makes him sick, but what can he do? After his philandering uncle has thrown the country into chaos, he has to do all that he can to give the people a sense of security again. Felix has time at least, Rodrigue is still alive...]

Neither can I, [he whispers, lowering his face to the crook of Felix's neck and inhaling deeply. Dimitri presses a light kiss to the corner of his jaw, not yet bold enough to kiss his neck despite wanting that very much. He strokes Felix's back, careful to avoid his injury.]

I cannot promise you the things I did as a child.

[It was so easy then. He knew he wanted to always be with Felix, so he just said that they should get married without hesitation. Now, he knows how impossible that is.]

Even so... would you let me stay by your side, Felix?

[personal profile] boarprince 2020-03-26 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
[The answer makes his heart soar, and though Dimitri's eyes reflect some of that sorrow, there's joy as well. He leans down to rest his forehead against Felix's with a small smile of his own.]

Thank you.

[Perhaps a funny thing to say when it's obvious they share the same feelings, but Dimitri knows all too well what he's asking of Felix. For Felix to be willing to endure that is something he feels he must thank him for.]

[Felix trails off, leaving the rest unsaid. Dimitri thinks he understands anyway, though, and a big part of him wants to just say it himself — but knowing that legend about the Goddess Tower and that the ball is coming up so soon has that silly romantic part of him wanting to hold off for a little while longer. The way his smile softens his eyes says it for him anyway, as does the tenderness in his touch as he brushes his fingers over the smooth skin of Felix's cheek.]

Always, [he affirms, tilting his head as he leans in for a sweet, chaste kiss.]

[Dimitri really did intend for that kiss to be a brief display of affection, but then Felix just melts into his arms and he quickly starts losing himself to it. How can he possibly resist when Felix slots against his body so perfectly, when it makes him feel whole in ways he never knew he could? The more their lips move together the more he wants, and the more he wants the harder it is to think. Soon enough he's tangling his tongue with Felix's, yearning so strongly for him that it aches. It's not until he finds himself pulling back to undo his jacket to cool his overheated body down that he remembers Felix's injuries, leaving him left to deal with unfulfilled desires all over again.]

Professor Manuela said you should be careful with physical activity for the time being, did she not...?

[Dimitri swallows a frustrated groan. He should be happy just to have Felix return his feelings, but it's hard to not want more, especially when he can tell that Felix wants it, too. He indulges himself just a little more, nuzzling his face against the curve of Felix's neck, his breath hot and fast against his skin.]

Of course. You have a lot of work to catch up on too, I am sure...

[Yet, as torturous as it is, he thinks he wouldn't mind lingering awhile longer fooling around like this.]
boarprince: (014)

[personal profile] boarprince 2020-03-26 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Now that's a lovely sound, one that he could definitely get used to hearing. Dimitri hums, clearly pleased.]

Just a little more, [he murmurs, giving in to the urge to mouth at Felix's throat. It naturally leads to nibbling the shell of his ear, then to another kiss, and before long he's backed up onto Felix's bed and pulled him in his lap. But he doesn't go further than that, even if the continued contact makes his head spin.]

I should... go back to my room, [he finally says in a husky tone when it feels like he truly can't take anymore.]
boarprince: (007)

[personal profile] boarprince 2020-03-26 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
We do...

[That doesn't stop him from leaning over to kiss his jaw again when seeing him in profile view proves to be distracting. Goddess, does he really have this little control over himself?! Dimitri forces himself to stand up with a shuddering breath, biting the inside of his cheek to curb the temptation.]

Goodnight, Felix.

[Blissfully unaware of what's to come, Dimitri has a difficult time of seeing why he should focus on anything but Felix. He'll be an adult all too soon, and a couple of months after that he'll have to go back to Fhirdiad and become the king, along with all the responsibility that entails. He doesn't resent that responsibility, not really — he's glad to be able to help put the country back together again. After suffering through the instability from what happened at Duscur and his uncle's incompetence, he knows his people need him. That just means he has to seize the precious time he has left with all his might.

And that's precisely what he does. If any doubt yet remained about how much Dimitri adores Felix, he surely erases it in the time that follows, seizing the chance to be close to him whenever he can. Dimitri is quick to become one of those students that crams all of his classwork into the allotted time during class, skipping out on taking notes in favor of racing through assignments the best he can without doing them poorly. He knows his classmates take good notes, and he simply rotates through them asking to take a peek when he needs to. Dedue offers to just take them for him, but Dimitri declines, feeling too guilty using him like that when it's clear that he disapproves of his relationship with Felix for whatever reason.

Sylvain, on the other hand, is absolutely delighted when he catches them getting a little hot and heavy between classes, and he teases them about it whenever he sees an opening, including ribbing Dimitri for getting flustered over seeing Sylvain sashay around in the outfit he wears to represent their class in the white heron cup.

"Don't go looking at me like you look at Felix, I'm too shy." ... honestly!

His birthday is a quiet affair. Dimitri receives small gifts from many of the students, particularly the girls. Though he has no interest in anyone else at this point, he accepts them graciously. The professor invites him for tea in the middle of the day when he would really prefer to be running off to find Felix. Still, he can't deny that professor Byleth is a fascinating man even if he somewhat resents him for "stealing" Felix, so he goes along with it even if it feels like those strangely blank eyes are seeing right through him.

The evening is far nicer than the day that precedes it. Dedue and Ashe make all his favorites, and though he can't taste them, the gesture is appreciated. Sylvain sneaks in a little wine since he's "all grown up now", and Dimitri has two glasses, just enough to feel pleasantly warm without getting intoxicated. It keeps him from noticing what Felix and Sylvain are up to, so he's completely oblivious as he gets up to answer the door.

If his stunned silence and the way the doorknob creaks ominously in his grip are any indication, he is very much a fan of what he sees.]

Oh, I... yes, of course.

[Clearing his throat, Dimitri steps aside, red up to his ears. He can't stop staring as Felix steps inside, quick to close the door behind him. He reaches out to finger the ends of his hair, biting down on his lower lip.]
