23; Please Don't /Kaeya/

This is Kaeya's route.
I'll be releasing Diluc's route around one or two weeks.

"Good morning, Y/n."

"Morning, Flora."

The breeze of morning air blew to Y/n's face. Her hair swayed and followed the wind's direction. The h/c girl stood in front of the Florist's store. "How can I help you?"

Y/n looked around the store and wandered. "Can I please get that one?" She pointed to her favourite flower. The (favourite flower) bloomed with the colour she liked. "Of course."

"How much?"

"Only one please."

"That'll be 200 Moras."

Y/n took out a bag filled with the moras. She handed it to the florist. "Thank you." The h/c took the flower from the brunette's hand. "So, how's things with Sir Kaeya or Master Diluc?"

Her gaze was still attached to the flower on her hand. "Great," she replied with a short answer.

Y/n twirled the stem of the flower. "Do you know that Sir Kaeya has feelings for you?"

Her smile curled down to a frown. She exhaled the air. Her frown curled back to a smile. But instead of the soft one, it was a sad one.

"Yes, I do."

****

Y/n sighed as she placed the last paper. She slumped on the table. The clock ticked and filled the air.

She closed her eyes for a little while.

....

The door opened slowly, revealing the tanned-man. He walked in with a few dandelions. The clanking heels from his boots echoed. Kaeya placed the dandelions on her side.

He found the girl closing her eyes. His hand moved on it's own. He removed the strands of her hair to reveal her face.

He didn't know if he should be feeling like this. But whenever she showed up, his heart couldn't help but race. He always felt happy with her. He always felt wierd with her. He always felt odd when she's with someone else.

Being selfish when she's there. Well, feelings can't lie, can they?

Feelings don't lie.

But their owners do.

"Do you like me?"

He stopped brushing her hair. He retracted his hand from her. She opened her eyes. He found no hints of lies and jokes in her eyes.

She was serious.

He exhaled the air and walked away from her table. Instead, he walked to the shelf beside her. "Yes."

A simple yes.

Though, a yes managed to make her heart fluttered a little bit. And butterflies flying in her stomach, she still managed to regain her composure.

The frown curled up. She was smiling sadly. Her eyes were filled with nothing but despair and pain. "Please don't."

Silence filled them. He swallowed the lump from his throat. So this was how it felt like being rejected. Y/n swallowed her own saliva.

Was it right to reject him like this? After all they went through together?

She still managed to look at him without faltering a little bit. "I appreciate your feelings, but don't," she said slowly.

Y/n herself, felt her heart throbbed. But she didn't mind it.

"I won't."

She blinked.

"Huh?"

"I won't stop falling for you until you state your reason."

"I don't want you to was because of my pas—"

"I know that's not it. I won't stop falling for you until you finally admit your reason."

"And until then, I'm going to make you fall for me as how I fall for you."

She was taken a back. Her heart started to race faster than before. She was loss at words. She had never seen this part of him before.

He took her hand in his. He placed his lips on her knuckles gently and rubbed it. "I'll make you fall for me, no matter how long must I do it."

She swallowed her nervous feelings. Her heart beat faster, she could feel her cheeks turning to a crimson red. She couldn't explain how she's feeling. She wanted to reject him, but part of her didn't want to. Part of her wanted to see.

And yet, she's tired, but couldn't bring herself to say it.

***

Bonus!

"Y/n."

She let out a small yelp and quickly threw her small box away. "Ahem, come in." She cleared her throat. "I'm here to—is that your clothes?"

'Sizzle.'

She moved the fabric away with her foot. "How can I help you, Sir Kaeya?"

"Can I see your clothes?"

"How can I help you, Sir Kaeya?"

He walked in with the paper in hand. "Master Jean told me to—a doll?"

"STOP GETTING DISTRACTED!"
