[Even when Claude says it so playfully, it doesn't quite sit right with Dimitri, the frown on his lips deepening in response. There's no telling what the future holds, and he knows he can hardly make any promises; maybe the way he feels really is all just the rush of a first love, or maybe even just first crush. He doesn't really know better to confidently say otherwise. But nevertheless...
To him, there's truly no one more charming in all of Fódlan, man or woman. Probably in all of Almyra too. Honestly? Probably in the entire world.
But he's not here to argue something so silly when this is supposed to be a nice date. If Claude has any concern at all that someone else could just come along and steal Dimitri's heart away... Well, then all he has to do is prove that such a thing would never happen. He wants to show Claude little by little, day by day, that he only has eyes for him and no one else. After all, to him, Claude is undoubtedly, truly special. Never in his life before has anyone or anything made his heart skip and flutter and pound the way Claude always manages to do so easily. This is a feeling he only knows now because of Claude, and he wouldn't trade it for anything.
Really, it's not a matter of Claude being "good enough" for him, at least not as far as Dimitri's concerned. Claude is who he wants to be with in this way, and that's more than enough for him.]
Thankfully, this is the way I like it best, too. [No having their hearts stolen away by anyone else! Not that he thinks he could say he actually stole Claude's heart... But what matters is that things stay like this! With a few minor adjustments. As much as Dimitri likes being so close and cuddly with Claude, getting to see his face like this is one of those welcome adjustments. It always feels like such a treat when Claude smiles like this.] You don't need to worry about me just because of that... But I suppose there's no real reason to stay standing here regardless.
[He's used to hockey practice, it's fine! Never mind that he's undoubtedly always a bit more tired during their hangouts if it's a practice day... Yet even though he agrees with Claude, he can't really help himself—he briefly closes that distance between them again to give Claude a little peck on his forehead.
Because he can do that now, right? Because it's okay if getting comfortable means sharing a few more affections too, isn't it? Or at least, he really hopes it is.]
So... Let's get comfortable then. [A smooth operator, Dimitri most certainly is not. His cheeks flush, his smile a little shy and nervous again, but he really did just want to share his affections like that. It feels a little silly, but he knew he wouldn't be able to sit down and relax for the rest of the evening without getting some of that energy out!]
