Instead of sharing the truth of what he sees when spying on Essek and Ludinus, Caleb hides the fact that it was Essek. He waits until later and meets up with Essek alone in order to find out exactly what is going on with him.
Reasons on why he waits can be anything from him not wanting to risk the rest of M9 is Essek turns out to be an actual bad guy, or wanting to protect Essek from the M9, or hell even Caleb is actually a mustache-twirling villain who wants to team up with Essek to burn the world down, idc.
Bonus points for sexy times where one or both are worried that the other is only participating because they feel they have to. (please no actual sexual blackmail)
Rather it not be an established relationship, but mutual pining would be lovely.
Want: +++ they get interrupted mid romantic moment and Essek gets his disguise up in time. So now they have to deal with the M9 thinking Caleb is seducing Desran Thain for info about the beacons/war/whatever. +++ anti-magic cuffs/bdsm (good etiquette)/magic as bondage +++ disabled!Essek & body worship
Do Not Want: --- bathroom stuff --- slut-shaming as sexy talk --- non-con
