Eight Years | Kaeya x GenderNeutral!Reader

Chapter 1

Jean smiled softly at Lumine as she showed her the gravesite. "This is the person you were talking about?" Paimon asked sadly. Jean nodded and placed some f/f(favorite flowers) in front of the heavy stone. "What was their name?" Lumine asked. "Their name was y/n. They were a strong fighter and...my best friend. They went missing when I turned 15 and after years of no luck finding them, the Knights made it official. They're dead."

Paimon mumbled sadly and held onto Lumine's arm. "Are they?" She asked. "Who knows. All I know is that the day of their funeral was the worst of my life. I had to console their parents, who were absolutely petrified, and I had to help Diluc calm down Captain Kaeya, and-" "Wait, Kaeya? Was he close with them too?"

Jean smiled and nodded. "They were in a relationship for quite some time. A few years in fact. He was devastated when y/n disappeared, and sometimes it appears he still is." Paimon looked at Lumine sadly and the girl pat her head reassuringly. "How did he react when the Knights said they were dead?" "He isolated himself for quite some time, but Diluc helped him out. He doesn't talk about y/n much, but when he does it's very good things. Good memories that they had, which is fantastic. We don't want him being upset when thinking about his childhood sweetheart."

Lumine nodded and placed a flower at the gravesite before leaving quietly with Jean.

"You need to get your ass into shape or I am going to have a word with the Tsaritsa!" You growled, your nails digging into the agent's face. "Yes, General! I'll try to-" "You won't try ANYTHING! You will do it or else!" You threw them to the side and they scurried off while you breathed in deeply.

"You're learning," Scaramouche said coldly. "How could I not." You mumbled. "What was that?" "Nothing, sir." "That's what I thought. Have that kind of attitude and I'll feed you to the more...needy treasure hoarders."

You shuddered and nodded, walking quietly beside him. "I want you to go to Inazuma. There are rumors about the Vision Hunt Decree coming to an end, and we don't want that, do we?" You stopped and looked at the man with confusion. "But you already have the Gnosis, why would I need to-" "Because I said. You're the only one who knows of my whereabouts so I trust you with a task like this. Do not make me repeat myself." You growled as he disappeared and stepped in the opposite direction to the room you were previously in.

"I have a favor to ask of you.." Kujou Sara mumbled, twiddling with her thumbs. "Of course, just name it." Lumine smiled. "There have been reports of Fatui activity on Yashiori Island. I can't investigate it because I have more pressing matters, but you...you've defeated Harbingers, dragons, Gods. Could you see what this is?"

Lumine nodded and Kujou Sara hummed. "Good. And take pictures with this Kamera if you find anything else worth investigating." She nodded again and grabbed the Kamera, taking off with Paimon.

Paimon sat on Lumine's shoulder as she walked slowly into the Fatui camp. It was inside a cave, and much bigger on the inside than the out. "Who are you?!" Someone demanded. It was just an agent. "Hold tight, Paimon." Lumine sneered, grabbing her sword and electricity surged from her hands.

You listened closely and shook the sound off, pulling the bottom of your shorts down to cover up all the cuts that those stupid treasure hoarders gave you. If you disobeyed the rules Scaramouche laid out, he would bring you to savage groups of men and women who did disgusting things.
