Yanfei: there is no way that its just one person then.
Yanfei: no one on campus is that rich right?
Ayaka: there are several heirs to company going to our academy
Ayaka: there are several people who are richer than that.

[ Ragbros ]
Diluc: come to the dining room
Diluc: guests are over
Diluc: play along
Kaeya: fym “play along”???
Kaeya: HELLO??
Kaeya: WOULD IT KILL YOU TO ANSWER ME LUC
“So…” Crepus starts, all of them sitting in the Ragnvindr dining room, a long antique table with him at the head. “I take it you are my son’s friends?”
“That we are, Sir.” Ayato smiled. “It’s a delight to have finally met Luc’s father.”
Kaeya raised an eyebrow at that. Luc? His own brother, in all his grumpiness, is letting someone call him a cutesy nickname? No way.
“He speaks of you often, sir. He always mentions how it was you who sparked his passion for studying so well.” Alhaitham chimed in, prompting Diluc to turn his head, acting like an embarrassed teenager.
What the fuck. Kaeya turned to look at Adelinde who was observing by the hall. Has his brother been replaced?
Crepus coughed, an embarrassed look on his face as he tried to keep it cool but was clearly failing. “Is that so?”
Father is falling for this. How the hell did Diluc get these people to act like this too anyways? Does his brother actually have friends? No way, Kaeya thinks he would know if his brother did.
[ Unknown ]
Unknown: so, has that maybe turned into a yes yet?
Diluc: perhaps, if i knew where to go
Unknown: its a surprise
Unknown: ill pick you up
Diluc: alright
Diluc: ill be waiting.
“You are a massive whore.” Alhaitham watched him strip and change into more loose clothing. His red hair flowing against his now exposed back.
“Shut up Haitham, do I look good or what?” Diluc turned to face him, revealing his face slightly dolled up with rosy lips.
Alhaitham rolled his eyes and laid down on his bed. “You look like a whore.”
Diluc groaned as he turned to face Ayato and Yelan. “Do I look okay?”
“Why does it matter when you’ll end up naked five minutes in?” Ayato questioned before Yelan hit him on the back of his head.
“You look gorgeous, Luc. Don’t listen to them.” She gave him a thumbs up as she eyed him from top to bottom.
“At least there’s one person here who has taste.” Diluc muttered as he took his phone out, smirking when he received a notification.
“I’m off guys, please make it believable we’re having a sleepover at Yelan’s.”
“Just go already.” Ayato sighed, watching Diluc leap outside his window and run towards the car parked right at front.
“I really don’t get how he hasn’t been caught yet.” Alhaitham watched as the car drove away.
“Oh please, you both know why.” Yelan grinned as she looked at the both of them knowingly. “The people he sleeps with have reputations to protect too.”
[ Prince & Red ]
Missed Call from Red
Missed Call from Red
Missed Call from Red
Missed Call-
Alhaitham woke up and groaned as he answered his phone. “Why are you calling me in the middle of the night, Luc?”
It was windy on the other end of the call. Diluc’s voice is barely a whisper. “Can I come over?”
“… Aren’t you meant to be at his place right now?” Alhaitham asked before coming to a realization. “Are you okay? Where are you?!”
“I’m fine!” Diluc was quick to reply before taking on a more cheery tone. “And I was there but someone came over— YOU’RE NEVER GONNA GUESS WHO IT WAS.”
“… Who was it?”
“Neuvillette! CAN YOU IMAGINE. Anyways, I didn’t need to know any more and left wishing Wrio good luck.”
“You just left?!” Alhaitham sat upright. “Where are you?!”
“Well… I can’t go back home, and your place is the nearest…” Diluc muttered and it took Alhaitham a few seconds of silence before responding.
“Are you outside my door?”
Diluc chuckled awkwardly. “Maybe?”
“Just come in already, still have my spare?”
“Yup,” Diluc laughed over the phone. “Thanks Haitham, I’ll see you in a bit.”
The call ends and he hears the front door click, he’s glad that Kaveh isn’t home right now or else he’s doomed.
“Hi.” Diluc opened the door to his room, hair tied up into a bun and lips swelled.
“Here,” Alhaitham threw a towel at him. “Go take a shower, you can borrow my clothes.”
The redhead smiled at him before heading out his room, leaving the door slightly open and rushing into the bathroom down the hall. Alhaitham opens his bottom drawer and pulls out a cooling balm before following him there.
Diluc was a mess, even behind the glass of the shower he could see the bruises forming at his waist. And so many bites, Alhaitham couldn’t hide the annoyed noise he made at the sight of it.
“Haitham?” Diluc turned off the shower and stepped out, the towel wrapped around his hair holding it up.
“Come here.”
Diluc stepped closer and Alhaitham picked him up, making him sit on the counter as he opened the balm he brought.
“I don’t get why you keep doing this.” His fingers dip into the cold smooth texture, taking a bit of it and applying it on the other’s thigh. A sigh of relief could be heard as he spread the balm.
“... I don’t like talking about that.”
“I know you don’t, but I’m still concerned.” Alhaitham dipped his fingers again into the container, before applying it to the bite marks littered around Diluc’s collarbone.
“You don’t need to.” The redhead looked down, Alhaitham couldn’t see his expression.
“I want to,” He replied, pulling his hand away from the other’s neck and setting the container aside, hiding it within the corners of the bathroom’s cabinet.
“... Thanks.” Diluc looked up at him and smiled. Alhaitham smiled back before placing one hand on his back and the other under his legs before picking up Diluc once again.
“HAITHAM?”
“You’re tired, your legs were shaking earlier. I’ll take you to bed.”
Diluc wanted to reply, but maybe the exhaustion finally caught up to him as he just leaned into Alhaitham’s warmth. By the time they had gotten back to his room, the redhead was fast asleep. He carefully placed him on his bed and tugged one of his shirts onto him, a tight fitting black shirt that became loose once on the other.
He opened his phone, sending a message to Yelan and Ayato about Diluc’s whereabouts before laying down beside him, pulling him closer and throwing his blanket over them.
