Was I? [Claude smiles, lifting a hand to brush fingers through Dimitri's bangs. (With Kent where he is, Claude doesn't have too much access to his hair.)] How so?

[nastyboy]

Just - the way you've always smiled, how you inspire others...

You're an incredible leader.

[Everything he felt that he wasn't.]

[vrdantwind]

Oh? [Claude's eyes sparkle.] So it was just my effect on others you admired?

[He knows it isn't. He's fishing for compliments.]

[nastyboy]

[A small huff.]

The other ways I was fond of you could not be likened to a star.

[vrdantwind]

Well, maybe I want to hear them anyway. [He chuckles.] Although I guess maybe I shouldn't be forcing you to stay awake...

[nastyboy]

[There's a slight smile on Dimitri's lips.]

It is the opposite of what was requested, true. So... I will close my eye now, and just... listen.

[vrdantwind]

Good. Get some rest, my beautiful light.

[And Claude begins reading from his book, his voice soft, feeling so much love for the man leaning against him that he can hardly stand it.]
