Making myself sad by wondering if Kaeya had NEVER seen Diluc mad at him before that fateful confrontation
#☆ ┆ ( .ooc. );#//Kae getting mad at Luc for whatever and streasing him tf out? yes#//But what if Diluc; having been told by Crepus to help look after Kae and what he’s been through; resolved to be endlessly patient#//No matter how resistant Kae is to opening up; no matter how many times he’s frozen out#//No matter how many mistakes Kaeya made; again and again; even if they hurt Luc in the process#//What if bby Luc managed to ensure Kae would NEVER see him upset with him; EVER#//That sincere; ray of sunshine keeping that promise to his father until That Day#//Until Crepus was gone & Kaeya; likewise hurt & spiraling; finally pushed Luc past the breaking point he was already toeing the line of#//And THAT was the first time Kae ever bore the full brunt of Diluc’s fiery anger#//FINALLY knew what it was like to be the one on the other end of it; having only ever seen others get that treatment & happy he never had#//And no matter how hard Kae’d tried to harden his heart after seeing Crepus with that delusion; tried to steel his resolve#//He broke all over again. & far worse than the damage Dawn could ever do to him. All bc of that rage & weight of what he did to incur it#//He’d rather let that fiery phoenix consume him in full and agony than ever bear such hatred from Luc again#//Even if he’s come to see annoying Diluc as the only real way to get his attention nowadays. But what else can he do? Leave him be?#//He knows damn well he can’t. He’s too sentimental for that; no matter how flippant he makes himself out to be#//Love to think on the flip side; Luc after processed what he did/what happened; after his destructive; murderous time in Snezhnaya#//Just resolved to never let his anger go that far EVER again. No matter how he’s pushed or prodded#//He’s seen firsthand how dangerous and irreversible the effects of his anger can be. In Snezhnaya & the Fatui. In Kaeya#//He would swear to NEVER take that lightly and lapse his self-control in such a way ever again#//Bc sb he cares abt; like Kaeya; might not be so lucky the next time around if he’s not careful
