As he mentally told him this, he found himself that…he really liked this gentle touch. This presence of him being so close to him. It was enough to give him goosebumps, if the heat outside didn’t fight it. Which it thankfully did.

His eyes relaxed and he couldn’t help but lean against him just a tad back, giving Yuna the chance to sprawl across Dimitri’s lap too. Now she had two guys fawning over her. Pet her please.

Zuke complied with her demands as he paid attention to Dimitri’s words.

“Mhm, I think we all learned a lot coming here. We all changed too. I know you changed.”
