Since nobody seems to be talking about this, as a Kaeya simp, I feel compelled to bring up this prompt for your kinktober yantober list: Kaeya may or may not be a mass murderer. Because NAT. NAAAAAAT!!! KAEYA HAS NO RIGHT BEING SO HOT WITH BLOODSTAINS ON HIM!!! HE HAS NO RIGHT AAAAAAHG!!!
Also, I’m sure you likely already have an outline or scenario in mind for that prompt because your brain is big and beautiful, but my mind is now spinning: imagine being the object of yandere Kaeya’s affections. He always manages to be there whenever you’re not working, always accompanying you home, offering you his arm, paying for your drinks whenever you go to the tavern together (which is often). It’s especially nice because you’re rather lonely, as nobody else in Mondstadt seems to want to even be near you. It’s rather disheartening. But not to worry, for Kaeya’s there to cheer you up and make your heart flutter, all smiles and pretty eyes and smooth words and pleasantly-cool hands and compliments and assurances that you ever need anything he’s there for you. And of course, you never realize that he’s the reason for your loneliness, using threats and blackmail and the occasional show of force to ensure that nobody dares approach his darling, nobody gets between him and his precious future-lover. But then somebody nearly does. A coworker of yours who’s taken advantage of Kaeya’s absence due to his knightly duties during your work hours and has started courting you. And when Kaeya finds out, he. Is. Furious. It sickens him to his stomach, seeing them simper over you, compliment you and smile all sickeningly sweet with hearts in their eyes, sneak you flowers and sweets when your employer isn’t looking. Do you reciprocate those feelings? Do you like them back? It doesn’t matter if you do. You are Kaeya’s, even if you don’t know it yet. Kaeya wants you, he needs you, and he’s so so close to having you. He’s been so careful up until now, disarming you, manipulating you, making you rely on him and trust him and fall for him so much that you haven’t even noticed the cage he’s been slowly constructing around you. He refuses to lose you. And so he strikes. He waits patiently for a night when your co-worker is outside the city, then traps them, pins them to the ground with shards of ice before he emerges from the shadows with a sly (almost friendly) smile and a wicked gleam in his eye as he explains to the poor wretch EXACTLY what he’s going to do to them for daring to try stealing what is his. It takes him several hours, and by the time he returns to Mondstadt after having disposed of his rival’s remains, he’s tired and spattered with blood. As it happens, you had a late shift that night and you see Kaeya trudging home. And, bless your sweet little heart, you run up to him all worried and asking what happened and what you can do to help him. Kaeya assures you that it was just a night-patrol encounter with some monsters that got a little messy, he’s quite alright, but if you insist on taking him home to help him clean up and let him crash at your place, he certainly won’t refuse. And you do just that, leading him to your bathroom and (upon his request) helping him out of his uniform and tenderly washing him. And when he confesses how afraid he’d been in the fight and how it was the thought of you that had kept him going, just as it always has and always will, you kiss him, sweet and clumsy and desperate and uncaring that the blood still on his skin stains your own. The blood of somebody who might’ve saved you from Kaeya’s possessive grip on your life. But it’s not to be. Now, even if you don’t realize it yet, you’ve walked right into Kaeya’s cage and, between your increasingly heated kisses, he smiles triumphantly as he locks the door.
(Shit that turned out to be longer than I thought it’d be, sorry if it’s too much, Nat, Kaeya just gets my mind going and your prompt has me reeling)
PLEASE I NEVER MIND SEEING LONG MESSAGES IN THE INBOX...
ah, kaeya is such a terrifying concept for a yandere because manipulation is very much in his wheelhouse - that silky voice, that charming air, the trust that the knights place in him (and whilst some of the higher ups in the knights may have some small doubts about kaeya, there's no doubt he gets results - and it would be terribly foolish to go about telling the general public to be wary of someone who is supposed to be a face of the protectors)!
he has a perfectly good reason to dispose of anyone he thinks has ill intentions towards you, after all. nobody will look too far into things, when kaeya insists they were a violent threat to monstadt and it was all done in self-defence; he wears a sword for a reason. he has no motivation to lie about anything!
... well. that's what you have to tell yourself, when kaeya returns home spattered in blood again and you tend gently to his wounds.
