[There's not a doubt in Dimitri's mind that once they settle in for the evening, he'll be clinging as closely to Claude then as he is now. Maybe to someone else, it'd be a little pathetic for him to be this desperate to be in Claude's arms... But seeing as how quickly and readily Claude responded to his open arms, he thinks it's alright. No matter how silly it is when they saw each other not too long ago, for Dimitri, it really does feel like it's just been too long. Now that they're together again, he wants to be as close as possible, as close as Claude will allow him. Really, that's the main reason why he can't bring himself to just settle in and sit down—even leaving the warmth of Claude's embrace for a moment feels like being apart for too much and too long.
So for better or worse, Dimitri is more than content to keep Claude buried against his chest. Part of him thinks that his heart must be Claude's completely already, so really, isn't it only right for Claude to be nestled there beside it?]
Hopefully by then, we'll put on a better game compared to the last one you saw. [And privately, Dimitri hopes Claude will be paying more attention to him than any of his other teammates... But that's a little embarrassing to say when he already knows Claude's primary interest in hockey only developed because of him in the first place, so he keeps it to himself. He can't deny though that seeing Claude cheer him on and get swept up in the excitement of the crowd always motivates him to play better.
Hearing about Claude's day though, Dimitri can't help but laugh, burying his face into Claude's hair to try and muffle the sound a bit. It's not like he dislikes Lorenz by any means, so he doesn't want to be rude, but...]
Claude! [How well his attempt to hide his laughter works is up for debate though, especially when Claude is pressed right against his chest anyways.] Even if Lorenz brought it upon himself, I don't know how kindly he'd take to it being the funniest part of your day.
[Despite his words though, it's not like he's actually trying to scold Claude or anything. Really, from the time he's spent with Claude's friends already, he can picture exactly just how and why Lorenz would earn himself such a brutal shutdown from a girl... And it really is funny every time.]
Perhaps you ought to advise him on how he could better win hearts. [He's only teasing, of course, and he understands generally that Claude's prior dating history probably wouldn't lend well to truly winning hearts... But Claude has his now, so surely he knows a thing or two about winning them!]
