Oooh requests are open? This might be somewhat generic but I hope it's alright! Kaeya with a reader who's stressed out with everything yet simultaneously feels like everything is slipping through their hands. Honestly they just want to snuggle away the inner pain, hoping that would help.
Hii! Thank you so much for requesting a story! It’s pretty short and I’m really sorry about that, same with the majorly ooc kaeya, I’m still learning.. I do hope you enjoy nonetheless!
I can’t hear anything. My ears are ringing while I tremble on the chair I rest on.
Lately, everything has been coming one after another, it felt never-ending. I couldn’t cry, I couldn’t complain, I’m not a vulnerable child who has someone revolving their life around them anymore.
And yet, that sounds so much better than all of this.
Everything felt so hard to overcome, I’ve never thought I’d be so weak.
I can’t keep up anymore, it hurts. It hurts so much.
I want to retreat, to bury myself in the depths of the ocean.
I wish I was a smarter person, a kinder person, a better person—no, the perfect person.
Kaeya lets out in a high voice.
I look to my right and see a sun-kissed man with long, navy blue hair and the perfect eyes.
It’s the Cavalry Captain. My lovely, doting knight..
“What’s the matter, beloved? You seem preoccupied.” He said, cutting you off in a pit of worry
“Kaeya..” You whisper in a low, shaky voice.
You’ve never felt so relieved. You had always relied on Kaeya with your internal conflicts, and he’d always help you resolve it all, even if he’s a bit troublesome with it.
“Kaeya… I am so happy to see you.” You say, receiving a similar response that includes a question of worry.
You had never seen the cavalry captain this worried and anxious before, he has always been confident and playful even in dire situations. It seems you have worried him so much this time.
You wanted to ask him if you were a problem or weak, but you know you could not handle keeping a straight face when you receive an answer, doesn’t matter if it is the response you want or not.
“Tell me what’s wrong, beloved. Come on. I’m here to listen.” Kaeya says softly.
“Am I weak, Kaeya..? I.. just feel so fragile, and I don’t want to be! I wanna be strong and confident like you,, Kaeya.” You cry out, proceeding to add more sobbed out sentences.
“I wish I wasn’t so vulnerable. I wish I wasn’t dimwitted and indolent and.. and..!!” You wail.
Kaeya brings his hands to yours that try and fail to wipe the tears away, holding them tight. He then tells you, “You’re stronger than me, my dear.”
“What do you mean?! You’re obvi—“
“You.. my love, are one of a kind.” He cuts you off.
“You are superior and stronger than me and my armor. You are honest, wise, kind. Don’t give that all up just because you want strength. I like you the way you are — you.”
Your wailing only grew stronger as your heart fills with contempt and love.
“Kae—ya.. Kaeya..! Thank- Thank you! I…—“ You wanted to speak up more, but you couldn’t help yourself. You wrap your arms around the taller knight, receiving the same thing.
“I cherish you for who and what you already are.”
This is so bad I’m crying, I’m so sorry anon 😭 I tried not to stray far off the main topic but I don’t doubt I did. Thank you so much if you did read and tolerated the story from start to finish tho. Feedback and constructive criticism is appreciated!
