["You practically live with us anyway."

Oh he.... hadn't really thought of it that way. But it's true, isn't it? He has a toothbrush there. Spare clothes. He knows his way around their kitchen.

Please hold while Chuuya.exe absorbs this fact and reboots. Something might have fried from his blushing.]

You can't just say these things over text, Diluc. I might take it as permission to practically move myself in.

Then again, maybe that means I can spoil you and Kaeya a bit more, too.

[He's already planning to leave them flowers and maybe a nice dinner it's fine--]

[Chuuya may regret making the comment about texts, because Diluc switches to audio for his next reply. His voice is warm.]

You don't have to spoil us. Though I'm sure neither of us will object too much. [He chuckles softly.] We both care about you a great deal, as I hope you realise... and I was under the impression you'd moved yourself in already, given that there are three toothbrushes in the bathroom. The key is mostly a formality.

[Wow Diluc, that isn't fair. Now he can't hide precisely how emotional he is right now, hearing all that.

There's no hiding the fluster in his voice, but there's also no hiding the sheer fondness, either.] Hey, there's a difference between 'have to' and 'want to'. I rather enjoy spoiling you both.

[Though-- Already moved himself in. As if he'd done it on purpose. A laugh escapes him, a strange mix of flustered, amused and bewildered.] It probably doesn't help my case any that I didn't even realize it until now, huh? You two are just too hard to resist.

[To be fair, that was exactly why he did it. He knows very well Chuuya made the choice to switch to voice as well and does delight in the flustered tone that he hears.

They really have come a long way from where they started, haven't they?]

I'll admit that I enjoy spoiling you as well. [Diluc chuckles a little.] And it isn't as if we've done anything but encourage it. We both love having you around.

[And really-- there's a certain level of intimacy in being at ease enough with sharing the fact that he's emotional right now, too. He's flustered, but willing to share that when Diluc opens the line.

There were so few people Chuuya could be like that with.] Heh, we're quite a crew aren't we?

[That chuckle is met with a soft one from Chuuya, a smile on his lips.]

And I love being around you guys.

[It probably hasn't escaped Diluc's notice, really: That Chuuya now is so starkly different from the Chuuya he'd first met. There were far less instances of drinking to excess, his mood had improved by leaps and bounds.

It was their doing. They'd given him a home.]

Yeah. Yeah, we are.

[Quite a crew. Who would have thought it? Diluc would have never expected them to get this close, never mind that Kaeya would also grow fond of the man to such an extent that he was almost an extension of their relationship with each other.

He could barely imagine his life without the other redhead now. How strange to think that something like that could happen so quickly, and yet he finds himself immeasurably grateful for it.]

You seem happier than when we first met. Like you've found somewhere that you belong. I can't help but be glad that that place is with me.
