    Summary

    When Master Crepus gifted the two of them their own pet birds to look after, Kaeya’s initial reaction had been to decline.

    The man had a well-intended habit of bringing back gifts from his travels, but taking a pair of birds back home from his trip to Fontaine seemed a bit excessive.

    He’d explained that the red and blue shade of the birds’ feathers had reminded him of them. That they always came in pairs, or sometimes even whole flocks, because they couldn’t stand being lonely. And sure, that was endearing in a way, but Kaeya knew he wasn’t cut out to look after a living, breathing thing like that.

    Not that he actually got to say any of that out loud. Diluc already spoke up before him, grinning from ear to ear like a kid who’d woken up to find their birthday had come twice that year.

    ‘We’ll take care of them together, won’t we?’

    Kaeya desperately wanted to believe him.

    Maybe, just maybe, the bird would be fine in his care.

    Of course, Kaeya should have known better.
