"i will protect you my love. i will not let you out of my sight. ever again."
"...oh but my dear you said-"
kaeya's sword was drawn the instant he felt something was wrong, your conversation cut short. the two of you were traveling down the road together so that kaeya could help with some of your commissions, per his request. who were you to say no to the handsome face of his.
you stood just as close to him with your weapon at the ready. although you couldn't see any danger, your body felt it. the air seemed to wait with you as everything was still.
then you saw it. a ruin guard bursting forth from a large amount of brush. at once kaeya used his vision to freeze its feet. it fell, but it’s back shot out six missiles that targeted you both.
you used your weapon to put many deep cuts into its metal body, dodging the missiles, but it persisted. when it realized how close you had gotten it began spinning its upper torso in a tornado like motion.
quickly you ran dodging its massive arms. kaeya and you both had run deep into the forest which made it hard for the ruin guard to target you accurately. you kept up with your attacks to lure the guard to a nearby tree.
kaeya had climbed into that nearby tree and managed to plunge his sword into the neck of the guard once it was near. it made horrible machine like noises before tumbling down a slope. it's arm flailed uselessly as it's cold body crashed into several trees and plants.
when it stopped rolling and landed firmly into a large stone you both ran down to inspect it. the light in its core flickered out and you breathed a sigh of relief.
"well that was exciting. don't you think honorary knight?" kaeya nudged your shoulders playfully. putting your hand on your eyes and sighing again you responded, "i just want to finish my commissions and go to bed. it's already in the afternoon."
gesturing your hand towards a clearing you both looked to see the sun getting pretty low. you also noticed the large mass of dark clouds rolling in rapidly.
all of the sudden a large gust of wind blowed making the forest around you move loudly. the branches swayed violently and a loud snap above you both caught your attention.
a massive limb fell in front of you on the ruin guards legs. you jumped a little and put a hand on your chest to still your quickening heart.
"i would say we head in. you've done enough work for today and it looks like a storm may pass by. honorary knights need there proper rest" kaeya offers and sheaths his sword.
you nod but notice a moving object behind the both of you. the crack you heard earlier wasn't just the branch, it was also the massive tree behind you that had been damaged by the ruin guards arms.
it was tipping over in both of your directions quickly. by the time kaeya had turned his head to follow your gaze you had already acted on instinct and panic.
putting both of your hands on his shoulders you pushed him as hard as you could out of the way. at the last moment kaeya grabbed your hand while it was still in reach and tried to pull you along with him.
unfortunately the tree was faster than kaeya and managed to catch your side sending you down with it. kaeya was still sent tumbling away from you from your force unable to catch himself.
the scream you let out was one of pure panic and pain. the sensation was like nothing you had ever experienced. fireworks were set off in your mind and the only thing you could focus on was the tree that trapped your ribs and torso underneath it.
it felt like it was tearing you apart. you were sure that the tree had successfully shattered at least two ribs and tore a lot of skin on your front and side stomach. panic from the pain made your arms uselessly try to push the tree.
kaeya scrambled to his feet and sprinted your way after hearing your guttural cry. tears made everything hard to see and your mind was too preoccupied to focus on kaeya's words and shouts.
dark spots appeared in the corner of your eyes and you stopped trying to struggle. you felt kaeya's bloodied hand shakily brush your temple as your body went limp. soon you felt nothing in your lower half but pain. words couldn't describe how much it hurt.
it was a body numbing pain but you could still make out kaeya's promise.
"i'll be back with help i promise i promise you. i won't leave you. never."
it was strange that this typically flirty and calm man was now shaken with his face contorted with emotion you couldn't make out.
kaeya's hand left you as he took off sprinting toward mondstadt that wasn't too far away. rain from the dark clouds soon began to fall on you through the leaves of the forest.
your eyes fluttered close and your mind swirled black. it seemed that time had lengthened while you were trapped and it felt like kaeya was taking an eternity to come back like he promised.
this tree might kill me, you thought dimly. your fingers twitched at you side as your arms were sprawled out beside you. everything was too numb with pain to move.
as you were trapped you continued to cry. the pain was so terrible that your mind was blacking out. in your fading consciousness you could hear yelling in the distance. was that jeans voice?
footsteps became louder and figures finally arrived in your vision. kaeya was the first to appear and he quickly took hold of the tree that trapped you and lifted with the help of several other men he had gathered.
a new kind of terrible pain resurfaced in your body as jean and lisa pulled out your body from where the tree had held you. the men set the tree back down once your body was completely away from it.
your cries started again as lisa knelt beside you. your body became warm as blood from your deep wounds poured out onto the grass.
"kaeya!..kaeya..." you tried to talk and call for him.
"shh darling it'll be over soon." lisa put her hand over your eyes and magic flowed from her hands. the pain you felt was no longer there as everything became fuzzy. it was a painless transition into sleep.
when your eyes opened you were in a new scenery. you looked around and noticed many things.
the large windows near you were wet and misty and the curtains were pulled away. the structure of the room told you that you were at the favonius headquarters.
your body itself was in a large hospital like bed that barely lifted you upper half up a bit so see the room. breathing seemed to cause some discomfort for some reason.
when you tried taking a deep breath of air you quickly stopped because of the sharp pain it caused. with a shaking glance your eyes landed on your midsection.
blood stained bandages wrapped your entire lower half. it was then that you remembered.
they clearly had to take you top off so your chest was also wrapped for obvious reasons but it was separated from your lower bandages so they could be changed easier.
you lifted your arms beside you to test them but could only lift so far before it hurt. you limited your arm movement to elbow and down.
fear kept you from speaking in case your voice was hoarse and you started coughing. you couldn't imagine the pain that might occur. swallowing your spit alone hurt.
a noise from outside the door made you more aware. was it...crying?
it sounded more masculine than feminine from what you could hear. jeans voice and what you thought kaeya's was could be heard from the other side of the door.
"kaeya...got here in time...it's ok...she will...fine...need time...heal"
"but...couldn't grab...hand...in mine...i couldn't...she could've...fault jean...mine"
those were the words you could make out as a new voice came in,
"we should...check on...her...made tea to...the pain...if she's awake...drink it."
the door to the room opened slowly as though they thought you were still asleep. lisa's face was soft but looked like she was tired. her eyes lifted though when she saw that you were awake.
"oh!" her surprises sound prompted the crying to slow. a teary eyed kaeya burst in beside lisa. jean followed after him and smiled at you.
you couldn't move but were startled by kaeya's face. he's never cried in front of you. you don't know if he's cried at all. he had some bandages as well on his hands and other places. probably from when you pushed him as hard as you could.
quickly he strided over to you to tend to you. his hands found there way to your face as he peppered sweet kisses everywhere.
you couldn't allow yourself to change your breathing pattern or else it would come at a cost. he would do this to any severely injured friend i'm sure, you thought as your heart fluttered. it's just that he's overjoyed.
he pressed a big but gentle kiss on your forehead before sinking down into a chair beside the bed and leaning down to bury his head in your hand.
"i'm sorry my love" he whispered out using a pet name. you lifted your elbow and set your hand on top his head. your fingers softly played with his hair as he remained there.
lisa came over and set down a teacup on a table on the other side of the bed.
"you've been asleep for two days under a heavy sleep spell. you have two broken ribs and some severe gashes on your stomach. they won't scar with the proper healing and some magic but it will take a lot of time and medicine."
lisa continued, "i made this tea this morning that will keep you healthy and also speed up the healing process. it has some magic in there that will allow you to drink without pain."
she brought the cup to your lips and you drank it. she was right, you couldn't feel any pain from drinking it and it actually helped the overall pain you felt.
"i'll be back later to change the bandages."
once the two girls had left the room it was just kaeya and you. your hand was still playing with his hair as you noticed a tear rolling down his face. when he looked at your bandages he closed his eyes.
seeing you hurt was his worst nightmare. and it had come true. he hid his face in the sheets and you tried to speak knowing that the magic would help,
"kaeya you did all that you could. i wouldn't be here right now healing if you hadn't gotten help. don't blame yourself."
"you are my one priority and i...couldn't keep you safe. what if it killed you...i can't..." kaeya's whisper of a voice responded.
"hey hey," you calmy said stroking his head, "i said don't blame yourself-"
"i love you." kaeya blurted out. this made you suck in a breath which luckily didn't hurt thanks to the tea.
"i love you." he said again. kaeya took your hand from his head and brought it down to kiss. repeatedly he kiss your hand. over your knuckles and fingertips he pressed his lips
"i love you i love you i love you..."
"kaeya..." you said as your face heated. he got up and close to your face.
"yes anything." he quickly spoke.
"i love y-"
his lips were on yours in an instant. he was careful with you and pressed two quick kisses to your mouth. "i will protect you my love. i will not let you out of my sight. ever again."
kaeya pressed one more kiss but held it a little longer savoring the feeling of your velvet lips on his.
when he backed away he sat back down and your hand returned to his hair. both of you enjoyed the silence as you waited for lisa to come back and change you bandages...
