Lorenz slips his hand free so he can follow that playful kiss to his knuckles with a light touch to Claude's face, thumb brushing over his cheekbone. Claude might mean it to be teasing but they both know that teasing is sometimes the best way to cover for insecurities and it feels wrong somehow, to let something like that linger. So he shakes his head, expression becoming more serious for a moment.

"For all my complaints that will never happen." A moment to lean in, take back that space that Claude had given him after the kiss, and this time his lips follow the path of his thumb. A kiss to his cheek, a gentle little nudge of Lorenz' forehead against his temple. "Though I can't imagine you ever not taking my breath away as well."

As normal as breathing Hah!
