[Claude tries to downplay his worries, but Dimitri's grip around his hand tightens almost as if on instinct. It's not like Claude is doubting the strength of his feelings of course, yet all the same, Dimitri can't let even a hint of doubt stand!]
Of course I would still come visit you. There's very little that could keep me from doing so. [In his mind right now, it'd really just be things like emergencies, being sick, or being out of town for other things. He'd rather not get Claude sick with a cold just because he wanted to see him, after all... Even if the loneliness of not seeing Claude during then is undoubtedly a hardship, one he isn't particularly keen to go through again even if it's not like he can avoid getting sick his whole life. Being able to talk to Claude only through little notes or online calls was hard, okay!] Keep me posted on how your search goes though. I can't say moving out of the dorms is something I've thought about... But that doesn't mean it'll stay that way.
[It's hard to say right now. While his athletics scholarship helps a lot when it comes to school expenses, that doesn't mean he has enough cash lying around on hand right now for renting an apartment. Getting a part-time job would of course be an option, but then there'd be finding a way to balance that with what's already a fairly busy schedule. Of course, it's not like he has to move in with Claude if he finds an apartment; depending on the distance, switching in a walk or bike ride to Claude's place would make for a good part of his workout routine. If Claude ended up with a different roommate though to afford rent, Dimitri can't pretend he wouldn't be jealous over that...
Well, it's all a lot of hypotheticals right now. It'd be weird if he told Claude just how seriously he was considering it, right? There's no guarantee on where things will be within the next couple months, and it's not like they know if Claude will find an affordable apartment or not. Besides, their relationship really is so new still... Common sense dictates that it'd probably be pretty foolish to move in together so quickly.
Never mind that he never seems to have any common sense when it comes to Claude, but for now, that's neither here nor there.]
