The conversation was a success

      Evening. An ordinary evening. Kaeya, as always, was sitting in the tavern with a glass of his favorite "Death After Noon".       However, everyone had left a long time ago, and he stayed there until closing time, not even drinking anymore, but just running his finger along the edge of the glass.       — Is something bothering you? — A red-haired bartender suddenly asked.       — What? — Kaeya shuddered, — I was just thinking.       — It's getting late, you should go.       — I guess you're right.       The officer stood up without finishing his favorite drink. He's not in the mood today...       — I'll finish it. — Diluc suddenly blurted out.       His stepbrother didn't say anything, but he was shocked by what he heard, although he didn't show it. "He doesn't drink..." — he thinking.       To be honest, the Midnight Hero expected a different reaction.       For example, some kind of silly joke. He is surprised that this did not happen.       The guy noticed that Kaeya wasn't the same as usual today.       He was quiet all evening, didn't talk much to anyone, and didn't drink much. If he was asked, he replied that he was tired or did not get enough sleep, after which he made a strained smile, I do not know if others noticed the fake or not, but Diluc definitely.       Of course, it seemed to the ex-knight that he shouldn't care, but for some reason it bothered him.       The next morning, the young man decided that he would go to the tavern today, but as a visitor he would watch his "brother".       He had been there for almost the entire day, sitting at the middle table on the left, but Kaeya had not appeared. When everyone dispersed, Diluc was about to close his eyes when he suddenly felt someone's presence.       The guy opened his eyes and saw him sitting opposite.. But already the same, cheerful, friendly Cavalry captain.       — Boo! Have you woken up? — Kaeya chuckled.       The hero did not answer, just looked at his "brother" suspiciously.       — Why aren't you leaving, waiting for me? Hehe, — keeping talk Kaeya.       Diluc thought for a moment before answering, because in fact it was.       — I wanted to talk to you, — he stammered, — Yesterday you were kind of depressed, did something happen to you?       — I just didn't get enough sleep!       — But why did you come here then?       The officer shook his head.:       — Listen, I'm fine, as always.       The hero thought about it, and then suddenly dropped:       — Charles, bring us each a glass of "Death After Noon".       — Okay, I'm on my way.       — I think you are acting weird! — Kaeya was indignant.       — I'm just trying to make you feel comfortable.       — Your wine, please,— the bartender carefully placed two glasses on the table.       — Thank you, — the Tavern owner replied.       Charles suddenly warned that he had to go and left, leaving them alone.       — You didn't even want to see me, and now you're trying to take care of me somehow? Don't you care about me? Besides, you don't drink alcohol! — the stepbrother was indignant.       — I just wanted to taste it, — the guy took a sip, — And I'm surprised it bothers me about you. Still, you can trust me.       Keya hung his head and suddenly began:       — I don't think I should be telling you this, but.. In fact, I let my feelings run wild yesterday. I'm always like this, it's just that no one knows. I am tormented by the past.. That's why I come here, alcohol helps me forget... — He already regretted saying that.       Diluc was speechless:       — The past...       The guys froze, turned away from each other, and were silent. There was a dead silence.       — I shouldn't have mentioned it, I'm sorry.. — said "one-eyed" and was about to leave the table.       — Wait! — the red-haired man stood up, — Move over.       The hero sat down next to his "brother", pushing him a glass of wine.:       — Take a sip. You'll feel a little better.       The officer reached for his wine glass, took a long sip, and drank almost all the contents. Then he wiped his mouth with his hand and spoke:       — I really feel sorry for your father, I'm ashamed that I sensed freedom and decided to tell you the truth right away... I should have thought of you.. But I was a stupid kid!.. No, I'm not making excuses, I'm sorry, honestly! Forgive me!..       The guy turned away, covering his face. He expected any response, but none came.       Suddenly, he felt someone else's arms around his neck. Diluc hugged him, not expecting this from himself.       — I owe you an apology, too. I lost my temper and almost killed you... I was offended, but I missed you. I've missed you. I'm really glad that we finally talked.       Kaeya hugged him back the same way. Their faces became too close to each other as soon as they decided to look into someone else's eyes, and their noses were almost touching.       — I forgive you, — the stepbrothers said at the same time and joined in a kiss, which was very spontaneous.       When guys pulled away from each other, they blushed a lot. Diluc froze in place, but Kaeya hesitated, took his glass and drank it all to the bottom.       — So we're not just brothers anymore... — the captain said with a chuckle.       — I don't know what you're up to, but it's clearly not my fault.       — As if I was trying to do it!       — We were just overwhelmed by feelings, nothing unusual. — a innkeeper replied, — I think it's time for us to go.       Together they went out and decided to take a walk through the night Monstadt.       The officer took his brother's hand, but he did not resist, on the contrary, squeezed it. The hero looked at Kaeya, and the tips of his lips lifted up. He smiled. Sincerely, as in childhood.
