The kiss takes him wholly by surprise. In retrospect, he's not sure why, but in the moment it seems like it stops time for him (without his own intervention of course.) It takes him just a moment to realize he needs to reciprocate, and he does press into it. He wants Dimitri to know he wants that. He likes that. He just can't verbalize it very well.
He swallows dryly, eyes full of wonder when Dimitri breaks the kiss, and he's lead to his quarters in somewhat of a daze. His whole body feels light and tingly in ways he never knew possible. It's so vibrant and warm, and as they pass through the monastery, it feels as though everything is so much brighter. Even the colors and sounds seem somehow richer.
Before he can process the first one, there's a second one when they reach the door. This one seems to have just the same effect as the first, but he's faster to respond. Faster to reach out and hold him, tilt his head into it. It makes the world spin in the most wonderful, curious way. And the look on Byeth's own face says everything without words. Looking at Dimitri like he's the only other person that exists in the world.
"I... thank you. I want- ah. I want this." That's all he can manage. He hopes it gets the point across. All his mind can process right now is the intense need to get closer to him. As close as he can. For as long as he can. He remembers why they're here, and he's even more elated- because his wish will come true. To be touched, to be played with, to show affection beyond the platonic... with Dimitri, it's heaven.
