It's embarrassingly easy, how someone can worm their way into Kaeya's heart. He just makes it so hard to navigate that one can never quite tell what it so happens to be or if he even feels such. And that's without mentioning he himself takes ample measures to never give them the opportunity to do so or see just how much he needs it.

One such means to his heart is taking care of him. Truly, actively looking after him and never giving him the chance to get away with hiding injuries ( and especially helping him with them ) or overworking himself ( whether helping ease the load on his shoulders or pull him away from it altogether ). He would never think himself befit of such care, even as he pours endless time and effort into doing the same for others. He will remember each and every time it is offered unprompted and always repay them for that kindness tenfold in devotion and gestures.

It's no wonder he chooses to remain with the Knights, regardless of how much more freedom he'd have operating outside of them.

#hc; kaeya #//Mans has enough people he trusts to LET know he cares deeply about them able to be numbered on one hand #//The folks he can say RIGHT to their face that they are important to him #//They are Klee; Lisa; Jean....and Addie and Elzer #//Diluc and Rosie are on his list of people he cares immensely for too; but SAYING it to them? He'd rather choke; thanks #//They wouldn't take kindly to him outright admitting he cares; that's what he thinks (REALLY hopes he hasn't told Rosie while drunk)#//So he just sticks to his actions and hopes he can keep expressing his care through gestures as best he can #//They haven't TRULY set to stop him yet; so he'll take what he can get. & even if they DID seriously ask him to lay off; he prolly wouldn'#//Traveler is v tricky. Bc on one hand he cares for them IMMENSELY; esp after he shared his heritage #//On the other; he's not quite sure if him admitting how important they are to him will be taken well #//He will Not take it well if Paimon or even the traveler themself makes a joke out of it #//Or think he's up to something. He reaps what he sows; he knows; but he genuinely would hate it. Would actually break his heart #//It's from the latter three that any caring gestures towards him would mean the most. Diluc; Rosaria; and the Traveler #//Bc he's unsure of his place in their minds and how they regard him aside his (tending to be less favorable) assumptions as is #//But for them to actually act like they care; esp Diluc and Rosie; it would absolutely FLOOR him every time #//Would be unsure how to take it from them; would prolly bluescreen or take it like a brick in the face; depending #//But would be v happy to nonetheless. Once he's fully processed it anyways; lmao #//And of course and worried/caring gestures from the traveler would make him SO damn happy; he'd clown himself in the process #//Bc he'd Immediately want to cover up just how happy he is with a little wry comment to deflect #//To no one's surprise; Klee is the one he actively tells/shows how much he adores the most. Likes how happy it makes her #//And the fact that she's the one who'll most easily reciprocate affection and care is a helluva bonus too #//He finds family in her and she holds no semblance of ill feelings towards him whatsoever; so he loves her the most of all #//Albedo is in a third secret zone in which Kae will actively make his rather open affection for a big joke to cover for it #//& resolved to never say it to his face. Not seriously if at all; he figures Albedo would prolly find such a thing bothersome anyways #//Won't stop Kae from giving him the same treatment as Diluc and Rosie; doing him little favors and striving to understand him #//There's a bonus in that things he can do for Klee can connect to Albedo and vice versa too. He likes that v much #//Oh heck; this spiraled out of control #//Heck; heck; heck
