[ Claude's gaze darts to the cup as soon as it looks like it's going to drop, his own on the table as he moves to stand, crossing the distance a second after Dimitri finishes speaking to settle a firm hand on his shoulder.

He doubts that Dimitri will be all that comfortable on Claude's bed, but maybe his body will be too tired to care.
Though maybe Claude should've given the whole "toppling over" possibility a little more consideration. It's his own messiness that's at fault, when he steps on a book that he'd left haphazardly on the ground, letting out a sound of surprise when that steals his balances, sends his legs bumping into Dimitri's and ends up tackling them both to bed. ]
