he's in love with me and that's a drug in dangerous doses

“you smell like shit, by the way,” diluc tells him when they’re both over by the bathroom. ajax rolls his eyes; seems like diluc is fully awake now. “then why’re you still hugging me?” at the withering look diluc shoots him, ajax has to bite back the urge to laugh. he fails miserably and unsurprisingly, diluc lets go of him immediately. before ajax can react and by that he means tease him further, diluc grumbles, “because you’re warm and i missed you.” then, in typical diluc fashion, he slams the bathroom door in ajax’s face. ajax is left staring at the door, a giddy sort of feeling spreading through his chest.or; secrets are a heavy burden to carry.
