It's the perfect day. The perfect trip. Reminding him of the time he had spent with the man before here. And of course, the perfect night too. It really is beautiful up here. He has no problem sitting close.

"More than I could say. Thank you... this is all so wonderful, Dedue. I feel so flattered beyond words that you did all of this for me." He would dare say it's terribly romantic. Of course, he can be respectful, no matter how much he wants to reach over and take Dedue's hand in his. To lean into him and feel his warmth.

He adores this man, of course. He has since they had gotten to know each other, and in the silent spaces they spent together in the greenhouse at the monastery.

"I'm so grateful to be able to spend this time with you."
