While Dimitri had hoped he would deepen his relationships with Byleth and Dedue both here, he admits he hadn't anticipated it being quite like this. Far be it from him to complain, however, when he's warm, content, and able to kiss them both to his heart's content. At the same time, even! Who could have imagined.

There's still room for some confidence in there yet but he thinks, as he leans in to press a kiss to Byleth's shoulder, he's getting there.
