Dear (Genshin Impact X Reader)

Melt (Kaeya)

"Haaaaaaaggggghhhhhhh!!!"

"Slow down there, bud. If you keep swinging that fiercely you might end up lopping my head clean off with that thing."

"Apologies, father. I've become too accustomed to sparring with uncle that I tend to regard most opponents as if they were him."

"...Tch. I knew I shouldn't have allowed him to become your teacher since you got your Vision. Even Klee would have been a better teacher...Okay, maybe not, but that's beside the point."

Kaeya sighed and ran a hand through his cerulean strands, wondering what he did wrong for his eldest to take after Diluc of all people.

"Big bro's not that bad, Pops. Sure, he does get a bit...too intense sometimes and maybe he can stand to smile a bit more, but he's not as bad as Uncle Diluc at least," said Kai, the easy-going younger Alberich twin.

"I concur. Between the two of us, uncle is a more...severe case," Agni added, fully aware that while he did adopt some of Diluc's mannerisms, he was still very much his own person.

The twins looked so alike when they stood beside one another, but their personalities were like night and day. Some people of Mondstadt even pointed out that the twins were quite similar to Kaeya and Diluc's contrast back in the day when they were still young, hot-blooded men.

However, unlike them the twins were as thick as thieves and it seemed that fact wouldn't be changing any time soon even as the pair matured and grew up.

The cavalry captain can still remember the day of their birth. How he paced like a caged animal outside your bedchambers as midwives and maids attended to you. It felt like years had passed before he heard the first cry of a newborn, followed by another one.

"It's a pair of healthy baby boys! You are very fortunate, mister. The missus is being cleaned up along with the babes right now and you may enter once it's done."

Kaeya can't remember the last time he felt that anxious as he neared your weak but glowing form, nursing both babes upon your breasts with a tender smile in spite of the dark circles around your eyes and the paleness of your skin.

"Hey...took you long enough to get here," you tease, voice softer than usual with how you'd screamed yourself hoarse during the whole birthing process.

"My apologies, love. I...wasn't sure if the midwives were finished cleaning you three already..." He knows that it was a weak excuse, but what can he say in this situation?

There were so many words he wanted to say, but for once he can't grasp the exact words he needed.

"So...seems like we got a two for one deal today, huh? Guess that means we can use both of the names I wanted"

You looked smugly at him and Kaeya could only chuckle and press a kiss to your temple in acceptance.

"Agni and Kai Alberich...Barely out of the womb and you're already surprising your old man. I can already tell you two are going to be a handful"

The Cryo-user should have held his tongue back then, because his words became reality throughout the years. Agni awakened to a Pyro Vision whereas Kai was blessed with a Hydro Vision, seemingly taking after their namesake as he'd come to learn. Agni is to fire as Kai is to water and both his children truly lived up to the elements they possessed.

"Well, that should be enough training for now. I don't know about you two but I'd kill for your mother's homemade Fruity Skewers"

" ...I bet it's mom you'd like to skewer instead— "

*BONK*

"'Da hell was that for, bro?!"

"Nothing. I seem to have seen a fly buzzing about and you just happened to be in the way when I was about to dispose of it"

Nursing the glowing red bump on his forehead, Kai simply pouted as he followed his father and brother back inside their cozy home. As soon as they stepped foot inside the abode, the youngest Alberich made a beeline towards the combined kitchen & dining room where you were happily preparing their lunch.

"Moooooooom, Agni's being mean to me again!"

"I was not! Kai was being too naughty so as the older brother I felt it was my duty to discipline him."

"Settle down, you two. We can deal with that after we have our lunch, alright? I made all your favorites today~"

The pair immediately ceased their squabbling at that, swiftly grabbing the plates and utensils to set them at the table as their stomachs urged them to be as efficient as possible so they could begin their meal.

Kaeya silently stood by the doorframe, his uncovered periwinkle eye shone as he observed the domestic scene in front of him. As one who was bestowed with the power of ice, he was normally used to the cold both internally and externally.

And yet, standing before his family...none of the ice he so expertly wielded could stand the warmth.

They melted.
