I just watched Hercules again, that movie never gets old😩
So, I was thinking Kaeya x Fem!Reader
This takes place before Kaeya and the reader started dating.
One day while Kaeya was patrolling the woods of Modstadt he heard the sound of a Mitachurl and a young woman.
Prompt: "I’m a damsel augh! I’m in distress, I can handle this, have a nice day."
Basically when Herc and Megara first met😅

the sun was high up in the sky, early in the afternoon, the sun's heat basking citizens in a light sheen of sweat and reflecting against the surface of starfell lake. traveling merchants are escorted back into the city by the knights of favonius as reports about large numbers of hilichurl camps are seen rising around the vicinity.
although for kaeya, the day had been passing slower than he had expected. he had just breached the gates after his exchange with jean regarding patrolling the nearby woods and ridding them of any kind of disturbances that could brew up chaos if not attended to. he negotiated with amber and they both agreed to watch over opposite ends of the map to quicken the task - her scouting around wolvendom, while the male attends to the territory surrounding the whispering woods. the acting grandmaster already had a lot on her plate, but that was old news to practically everyone who resided in mondstadt. there weren't too many knights who could easily take on every request that is sent to the KoF headquarters after all, and as amusing kaeya found people summoning for the acting grandmaster to make time to find their missing stubborn cat, he does admit that his heart harbored pity for jean.
and so, after observing the constant worried glances lisa was sending the blonde for her stubborn spout of overworking, emerald eyes straying to the other woman everytime she flips a page from her book, he ultimately decided to volunteer for the specific job.
it wasn't long before he made it to the woods, making quick work with his blade after bumping into a couple sparring hilichurls on his way. using his renowned bladework to sweep the camps and towers quickly, he wiped the sweat on his brow with the back of his hand. the reports weren't lying, it seems that a population of these creatures decided to gather and manifest in nearby zones. " tsk, this is easy work. when will the day of finding myself a worthy challenge to pursue ever arrive? " he smirks, observing how the sunlight reflects on his blade. and just as he blurts the question out, he narrows his eyes as his ears pick up an unfamiliar voice nearby. a traveler? or perhaps a lost adventurer? it was quite peculiar hearing someone still venturing the land despite jean's orders to ensure everyone is safe inside their homes and kept from harm's way.
either way, they sounded distressed and in need of assistance. and so he takes quick steps in pursuit of where the voice was coming from - but now that he's growing closer, he infers from the pitch that the victim was most likely a woman. his speculation was proven correct once his eyes meet the unfolding scene in front of him - a girl, that looked about his age, with sparkling doe eyes and panting form, and yet still gracefully handling her polearm with such poise – facing what seemed to be a rather aggressive blazing axe mitachurl. you had managed to wound the creature quite a bit, sensing that it was starting to tire out and reach its limit. " ah, not feeling so good now are you? " you taunt the mitachurl, preparing yourself to land your strongest attack - lithe fingers throwing your polearm around, mimicking a stage performance. you note how your opponent took a few steps backward, prepping itself to charge itself at you, and at that angle, you were aware of its dangerous trajectory.
a smile graces your lips, your vision glowing, willing to take on the challenge - but before you could start your fighting sequence, your eyes meet a certain navy blue-haired male, an amused smirk tugging at his soft lips. your attention is diverted after seeing the most good-looking male you've ever seen - unintentionally put your guard down. this window of opportunity allows the mitachurl to swing its axe and shake the ground beneath you, making you lose your stance and before you know it, your back hits the tree behind you. you groan, glaring at the man watching your predicament as if he was invited! " do you require my assistance, darling? i see you've put yourself in quite the struggle.. "
after hearing his smooth voice, you feel yourself getting flustered, but you snap yourself back into reality - " i'm a damsel, i'm in distress, ow - ! i can handle this. have a nice day, thank you ~ " you reply in a faux sweet tone, blinking your eyelashes innocently. you get up and regain your stance, but just as quickly as you did, you're sent flying into a body of water, your adversary throwing you around like a ragdoll. you attempt to stand, but fail miserably as sharp pain jumps up your spine.
" you're quite the stubborn one, aren't you sweetheart? my my, might as well let the ever so capable cavalry captain handle this, yeah? " he chuckles, whistling to garner the attention of the angry mitachurl. the creature quickly notices him, growling at the new threat. he repeats his previous attack, slightly scratching kaeya with pyro. the male then concludes that this wasn't your regular mitachurl, as traces of purple emanate from its body, enhancing its strength. it was most likely work of the abyss.
after all, you bumped into your opponent around starfell lake while you were gathering fish and calla lily, so kaeya could consider himself lucky. you watch as he uses his environment to his advantage, utilizing his cryo vision to freeze his opponent and render it helpless. it wasn't long before his bulky foe disappears into thin air. and as you're wringing the water from your hair, pouting at the missed opportunity to try out your combat skills on the field - you hear approaching footsteps. you quickly make a decision to avoid making eye contact to not stroke the other's ego. " i didn't need your assistance, wonderboy. now, don't go thinking i'm indebted to you simply because you finished the job for me– "
but before you could finish, you feel strong arms picking you up and placing your body on dry land, where your feet is dangling above the lake. you blink twice in surprise, mouth dry at the short moment of close contact with him. he leans forward, " wonderboy, hm? if you prefer that nickname darling, i'm all for it .. although regular citizens of mondstadt usually call me .. sir kaeya. "
you furrow your eyebrows at how close his face was from yours, small distance separating you both. you push his chest away and regain your composure - getting up on your feet. " hm? if i remember your words correctly.. " you turn your back to him, " you're a cavalry captain, correct? impressive.. but i have other matters to take care of, " you adjust your skirt and your hair accessory, moving with a sway in your step. " thank you for the assistance, sir kaeya .. safe travels! "
the man is suddenly enamored, charmed from the way you move with elegance and talk with conviction. you've definitely caught his eye, your sophistication and charisma luring him in like a moth to a flame. you didn't seem interested in him at all - not even giving him another glance as you trot away further from the lake, carrying your satchel. and that's what pushed him to pursue you even more. " w-wait, you're leaving already? won't you be a darling and stay a little while? you haven't even told me your name .. "
you freeze for a few seconds, a playful smile playing upon your lips, you turn your head and connect your eyes with his. you tilt your head, beckoning him forward. " now, wonderboy.. won't you come and find out? " and at that proposal, the man knew he wouldn't let the opportunity slip away - for this might be the challenge he had been waiting for all along.
