[Dimitri laughs a real laugh that's loud and ugly. One he, and Felix, haven't heard in a long time.] I'm not sure if I do! [Know what Felix means, he means. But he hides behind the pillow in his face, doesn't try to fight it, as his laughter peters off into something gentler. Little snorts and giggles.] Oh, it's too early for this. We should get breakfast.
[ Oh, he missed that laugh. It never suited the prince of Faerghus, but it fit Dimitri to a T.
Felix eventually lets the pillow drop, and he has to resist the urge to kiss him mid-giggle. ] We should get going, before the lines get too long.
[ As reluctant as he is to return to the outside world, time continues to move on without them. So Felix gets dressed in yesterday's jeans and makes the short walk back to campus with Dimitri by his side.
(another day, he'll tell dimitri the truth. about how he wasn't there when he needed him most, and that his grief and regret haunted him for the rest of his (short) life.
and, perhaps, he can also say he loved him - from the day they met until his last breath, he loved, and loved, and loved. even when he hated him (or, rather, the beast he'd become), he loved him. the past tense on that doesn't feel quite right, though. all his feelings carried over from before, his love included.
