[It's almost comical just how quickly and immediately Dimitri brightens upon Claude closing the gap between them for his hug. As Claude tucks himself against his chest, he buries his face in Claude's hair in turn, breathing slow and deep as he takes in the comfortable sensations of being so close to Claude. The warmth of having him in his arms, the familiar scent of Claude's s shampoo... Little things that prior to Claude, he never really would've thought twice of. Now? He's hyper-aware of when he's missing those things and thus hyper-aware of when he has them again.
Yet for all of his excited nerves in this new part of their relationship, when Claude presses so close against his chest, he's likely to hear the way Dimitri's heart calm down more than anything. It's exciting of course, and he really can't describe just how happy he is seeing Claude again despite having just seen him not too long ago... But there's just something so comforting in being with Claude. Whenever he's been nervous or anxious, even if it was about Claude himself for silly reasons like hoping he'd want to hang out or if he'd be interested in watching something together, just seeing Claude usually calms those nerves down so readily.
So really, he isn't fussed at all about spending so much time in Claude's dorm. There isn't anything that would forbid it, and besides... He just likes being with Claude too much to care. If the occasional student has seen him leaving Claude's dorm early morning in the same clothes he went in with the previous night, they can think what they like. It's not like they've done anything salacious just by hanging out.
... Or at least not yet. Dimitri really doesn't have enough experience to know how those sort of things come about, but that doesn't mean he hasn't wondered or even hoped when it comes to Claude.
But that's neither here nor there for the moment. Right now, all he honestly cares about is holding Claude as closely and tightly as is comfortable for Claude, as if to make up for the few hours they were apart by ensuring there isn't even an inch of space between them.]
It was good. Nothing too out of the ordinary, but I think the team is making strides. At the very least, Caspar seems to have learned that too much aggression will hurt us in real matches. [He admires Caspar's fiery spirit, but he's always been a little too quick and easy to get riled up, and that definitely cost them a bit in their last game. Still, he says it all with good humor. There's definitely some getting used to still with the team, but Dimitri's always appreciated what different people bring to the table. He doesn't think his practices would be that interesting for Claude to watch honestly, but he's happy enough that he likes coming to the official matches when he can despite being unfamiliar with the sport.] And how was your day? Anything exciting during class?
[Even though they texted plenty throughout the day, it's still nice to hear aloud from Claude on how jos day was. Whether it's interesting or mundane, he wants to hear it all.]
