Words of Affirmation
does your muse like giving compliments? 
Loves giving compliments. He's well aware some people won't think them genuine, but he'll do so anyways. He'd scarcely leave a compliment left unsaid once it's come to mind, especially if he particularly adores the person they're directed at and they are more receptive to his words. But above all, he knows many people thrive off praise, so he will oftentimes carefully observe what it is they would most value praise of and compliment them accordingly. That way, even if they don't believe him the first, second, or even seventh times, at the very least, they know someone recognized their efforts. If he does get a favorable reaction from the get-go, he himself will thrive and feel quite happy for the rest of the day, more so if he sees his words left a lingering impact.
how easy is it for your muse to say ‘ i love you’?
It used to be. Those of the Winery, particularly Diluc, Crepus, Adelinde and Elzer, even Tunner at times, had all gotten at least one 'I love you' per day from him. They were important to him, so he made sure they knew at all times and never forgot it, the INSTANT he was comfortable enough saying it.
Nowadays, he finds it much harder to say. Be it to significant others or even those closest to him, like family. He chokes up even saying it back to Klee, when she'll happily give it out, like he used to. He can't help feel guilty about it each time he tries and fails to get it out. He won't stop trying to, but it's hard.
Because he thinks he might jinx himself if he does. Thinks if he does, he'll wake up like it were all a dream and break his own heart over it. Worse still, fears if he does, the gods would punish him and find some way to take that person from him. Sometimes, he's so anxious enough over those three words that his brain will spark the idea that he's being a liar, and doesn't truly mean it ( even if his heart damn well know he genuinely does, he never loves by half measures ).
Showing how much he loves them however, comes far more easily. Devotion is what he can give most, himself and his efforts and strength to that person without the slightest hesitation. Which is what he will default to and hope his feelings can come across until he can finally bring himself to voice his feelings.
what is one compliment your muse is dying to hear? && what is something your muse loves being praised for?
Putting these two together, because ultimately it's the same thing: That he's reliable/trustworthy. Compliments on his looks, he's garnered plenty over the years that responding is practically reflexive. Trying to directly praise his work and efforts for Mondstadt make him squirm uncomfortably. But that, he considers the highest praise. To be useful to someone, to have helped them and to be considered someone they can turn to anytime, ESPECIALLY if he's the first person they regard in such times, that he truly IS someone they can trust...after all's said and done, he treasures it greatly. May question why in their right mind they think so at first and joke about it aloud, but ultimately, even after the initial doubt's ebbed away, he'll find himself not only the happiest man in Mondstadt, but also far more fond of them as a result. And more inclined to give them more of himself in turn.

Quality Time 
what is your muse’s ideal date night? 
It's never feasibly going to happen to long as Diluc and his relationship stays the way it is, but Kaeya truly wants to treat any significant other to a day at the Winery. Give them a personalized spin about the place, not just what guests and/or business partners would receive. But a real tour of the place he wishes he could call HOME again, complete with showing off his childhood hiding places, and ways up onto the Winery roof to point out the clear skies, for cloud watching or stargazing. To have dinner there and introduce them to Adelinde, not as head maid of the Winery, but as the closest person to a mother he'd ever had. To make them feel just as much at home and part of the family as he once did.
Otherwise, his most self-indulgent want is helping his partner up onto either the palms of the great Barbatos statue, or atop the Knights HQ works just as fine too. Either way, he WILL find a way bring snacks and blankets up there to cuddle up under for optimal stargazing, and loves the idea of guiding his significant other's hands in pointing out constellations or celestial bodies of note. Especially if he recently gleaned their constellation from Mona and decided to try and look for it for them. He'll even study/freshen up on Rtawahist learnings as an extra something to impress them with. He'd be so eager and giddy to share all he knows with them.
how comfortable is your muse with prolonged eye contact? 
Not terribly comfortable, but that’s just a byproduct of him being rather particular about his eye and the star at its center. Wouldn’t do him any good if someone decided to do a little digging and learned a little too much about him. The last thing he wants is to gamble how well they'd react if they knew. And he knows that reaction would crush him far more than Diluc's ever did.
That and…eye contact gives him away so easily. Kaeya feels and even almost fears that his partner would be able to discern every last secret he has, the very depths of his feelings ( towards them, and just in general ), through his eye. It took him ages to perfect liar and facade he is today, but his eye might give him away no matter what he does. He’s always posturing and moving for a reason, playing up ample potential distractions however he may find them to keep their focus elsewhere.
does your muse prefer conversation or just sitting quietly with their s/o?
Outside of delighting in hearing his significant other ramble about anything and everything at all, Kaeya thinks sitting quietly together is better, in general. When it comes to deeper conversations, many tend to think him a liar and sweet talker as is, so he’d rather let his actions speak for him instead. At least until he is comfortable enough. That, and words were once not his strongsuit, so sitting in silence is a nice, safe way right to nostalgia. To let him open up just a little easier, as he'll feel safer to like this, a certain vulnerability he won't panic in the face of showing. As he'll give and accept careful little touches of his partner, embraces or playing with their hair, he’d do damn near anything to show his devotion once he’s sure enough with them over the course of that quiet moment. He will aim to make it unmistakable just how much he treasures them, no words necessary.
is it easy for your muse to devote their full attention to one person at a time?
As easy as it is breathing. He will outright shift his focus entirely and stand by their side the instant they make it known they want his attention. It doesn't matter what he was doing before, the moment they gesture for him or let their gaze linger on him, he will find his way back to them.
In general, his attention is usually divided between the one he's speaking with and the surrounding, always taking in and observing, but his significant other or otherwise someone important to him are a surefire way to get him to zero in and block everything else out for at least a moment, unless he decides otherwise based on what they want of him.

Physical Touch
does your muse like being hugged? 
By only a select few. He hates physical contact overall by anyone else ( even if he won't immediately recoil for sake of keeping up appearances ), but those he seems closest and safest, he will not only let them touch and hug from, but he will actively go out of his way to embrace and do so tightly, as though he’s scared he’d lose them if they let go. Then brush it off like he were playing a silly joke on them, like testing how strong they are.
where could someone touch your muse to calm them down? 
His hair in particular relaxes him the most, particularly gently threading fingers along the back of his head, from crown to the nape. Though it tends to make him a little sleepy if continually touched, even after he’s calmed down. He will be more inclined to lean on and snuggle the person doing so.
The second is a very particular one ONLY for significant others who’ve earned the sufficient trust and right for it, but it’s gently cupping the right side of his face. With the patch on or off, Kaeya will MELT into the person’s touch so easily, it’s not even funny. Coupled with soft words, one might even get Kaeya’s smiling facade to crumble entirely, just enough to receive in turn a teary look of sheer adoration and the raw feelings he’s held locked inside himself for so long. It’s damn near enough to break him, after so long of masking himself behind his little grins and silver-tongued words. Which is why…
is there anywhere on your muse’s body they want to be touched most?
…THAT^ is the place he wants to be touched the most. He WANTS that tender touch, WANTS to show himself as vulnerable, WANTS to be him, truly HIM, in front of his significant other, but he needs a little help with it. Any other time, movement toward that side of his face is met with a sharp flinch or a clear grimace he can't hide so easy, and for good reason.
But once that 'barrier', so to speak, is breached, it’s far easier for him to do so. Bc that is his ultimate display of trust—because once it’s given, his defenses come crashing down before them at the slightest touch. Once he’s sure he can allow them that and sees how they treat him at his most vulnerable, is assured they truly accept him, nothing else matters. Not his fear of the gods and what could go wrong, not that he may be deceived or could be hurt so easily, now more than ever—nothing.
does your muse find themselves subconsciously seeking out physical contact? ( ie. reaching for s/o’s hand without realizing it )
When he’s in love, it is achingly so that he longs for their touch. He’d find himself reaching for their hands, wanting to pull them close. He will linger on and think abt places they’ve held or touched him at, even if briefly, kisses they’ve left on his skin, wishing they’d leave a mark so he wouldn’t feel the loss as they head off wherever it is they’re going or as they turned they’re attention away from him. He can’t stand physical touch from most anyone else, can allow it from select few with little to no negative reaction, but with them, he’s utterly starved for it.
