There you were, your beautiful face covered in blood at the shore of a river. Your body seemingly dumped without a care for your dignity, it enraged Kaeya. One million thoughts were rushing through his head, each one more terrified than the last; the loudest one was screaming to hunt down those who did this to you. He delicately held you in his arms, your eyes hadn’t even closed yet and your head lolled back, your lifelessness felt more and more real with every passing second. Whatever warmth you had in your body had been cruelly stolen from you.
Kaeya saw you only a few hours ago, it baffled him that while he was doing paperwork you were being ruthlessly slaughtered. He had bought you a bouquet from Flora for you and had a romantic picnic planned at Windrise later that night, despite that, here you were lifeless, dead, gone. Kaeya’s eyes burned, even with tears flowing freely it still hurt and his heart ached seeing your body beaten and broken, one thing he could tell is that it wasn’t a swift death.
Pain and heartache quickly turned into rage as his grasp tightened around your torn clothes. He was barely breathing himself, but when he did it was shaky and uneven. Everything he had ever wanted and then some he found in you, before he never believed in true love or soulmates, he vowed to never let anyone hurt you and yet…
Only the squeak of his teeth clenching together brought him out of this haze. Just now realizing that it had been raining, Kaeya lifted you off of the ground and started to walk towards Mondstadt, once he had planned your funeral he’d have to visit a few Treasure Hoarders for a quick chat.
