[Maybe not his virtue but there's something that feels a bit disrespectful about even considering something like that. Especially when he has no idea what he's doing. Especially when none of his so-called-fantasies go anywhere near the extent of what they're clearly planning to do.
Even so he's had enough time to improve things around his apartment that there's a notable difference when they step inside, an easing of his tension that simply comes from being home. Short lived though it is when Claude immediately bypasses the living area to step around the half wall dividing the small apartment. Claude and Hilda had 2 rooms.... Lorenz only had a studio but the exchange was a corner apartment with a wide balcony that wraps around the building.]

Lorenz huffs a breath, gets as far as unbuttoning his cuffs, and then he is dismissing Claude's little challenge. A frown, half exasperated half uncertain. Another step closer to cut the distance between them.
Despite how nervous he might be he doesn't hesitate exactly. Claude is right in assuming they might have to go slowly at first but Lorenz does take the initiative to lean down and kiss his friend. They can worry about the undressing part in a moment. For now he knows from fleeting kisses shared with Constantin that it will be far easier not to get too caught up in losing any of his layers when he's already breathless from kisses.

Which is precisely what he's aiming for.]
