"A-Are you sure you don't have any plans? I wouldn't want to distract you if you have work or anything..."

You prayed he would've possibly had something else to do. You definitely didn't want this flirt in your home. Especially since it would be just the two of you.

Alone.

Kaeya huffs out a laugh. You were nearly there, and he still had his arm over you. You wanted to say something, yet you didn't want to make him feel bad.  "Trying to get rid of me, I see? I thought you were nicer than that Y/n." He puts on a fake pout.

"Ah – !  No, no it's nothing like that! P-Please forgive me; I was only asking." You reassured. Kaeya does a closed-eye smile. He absolutely loved teasing you, just to see how your shy personality would react. However, he's also a sadist — so it makes sense.

Once you arrive and unlock the door, Mochi jumps out of the carrier, and runs off to her scratching post. Kaeya looks around, while you made your way upstairs. "I'll go get you some water, I'll be right back!" You said, scurrying off before he could respond.

As soon as you went through the door, you immediately shut it and rushed to your kitchen. You put away the recently bought sugar, and started cleaning up all the ingredients that were out, putting lids on them and storing them somewhere random. You kept dropping them on accident. Luckily, they were in plastic containers.

After you finished cleaning up, you grabbed a stool and took a glass cup from one of the cupboards. As you stepped off, you hurriedly placed it down and grabbed a pitcher full of water. But as soon as you turned around, your hand holding the pitcher pushed the cup off, shattering all over the floor.

A few knocks were heard coming from your door. "Y/n, you're not trying to escape from me, are you?"Kaeya said. "Just a second!" You said as you stupidly started picking up the glass shards with your bare hands. You look up as Kaeya invites himself inside with Mochi in his arms, which distracted you. "Is Mochi always so affectionate? She just can't seem to get enough of me."

You yelp as you your hand mishandled a decent-sized glass shard. The glass penetrated the skin of your palm, leaving a gash. It didn't seem bad enough to leave stitches, but it definitely stung like hell. Kaeya finally looks at you as you quickly gathered the rest and threw it in the sink.

"Y/n, are you alright?" He asks. He puts Mochi down and starts walking towards you, but halts once you speak up. "I'm fine!" You said, hiding your hand behind your back. You reached out for a new cup, as you brushed off the uncomfortable feeling of the wound, and made sure to not make the same mistake again as you poured him a new glass of water.

As you nervously held it out for him to take, he took it from your hand and set it aside. He continued to get closer to you, backing you up until your lower back hit the counter. "Say, Y/n," he said setting both hands on the counter, giving you no chance to escape. "What would the status between you and my dear brother be?" You flinched as Kaeya's teasing gaze made you look away.

"Uhm..." but before you could respond, Lisa's voice was heard from downstairs.

"Sweetie, are you here?"

Kaeya didn't move. You tried lightly pushing his arm away, yet he stilled. Lisa's footsteps were getting louder, hinting she was coming upstairs. "C-Can you move please..?" You said with a gentle voice. Kaeya continued to look at you with a devilish smirk for a bit more, until he finally complied.

Right on cue, Lisa entered.

"Ms Lisa!" You said, rushing towards her. She gives you a warm smile, before realizing Kaeya was also with you. "What are you doing here..?" You said with a tight, forced smile. With every word you said, your eyes looked at the side Kaeya was at, who was busy looking around the decorations that just screamed you.

Lisa recognized that pleading look from you, and quickly catches on. "Well I was going to discuss something with you, but since Kaeya is here, it reminded me that Jean had informed me to let him know he would be watching Klee for a bit."

"Did she, now?" Kaeya said as he crosses his arms. "That's right! So you should...probably go now...heh." You prayed he would actually leave, begging the archons for him to take a hint. He continued to look between you and Lisa, before he decided to finally leave.

"Alright. But you owe me, Y/n." He says while he winks at you. Once he finally steps out, you let out a breath you didn't know you were holding in. "Thank you so much Ms Lisa. I-"

"Y/n, what were you guys doing before I entered the room?" She cuts you off. "H-Huh? We weren't doing anything I promise! T-That man just doesn't know when he's not wanted around!" you frantically said. . "Hm..." She goes, not really believing you. "Y/n, I get you're probably trying to move on from Diluc and all, but..." She stopped, figuring you would interpret what she was saying. "It's not like that! I'm serious!" You said.

"H-He kind of just invited himself over..." you said quietly. Lisa sighs. "Relax, Y/n. I believe you." You were glad she understood. Now that you were more relaxed. You were more aware of the stinging of your wound on your palm, but the pain was now calmer.

If you were to show Lisa, she would probably act like a scolding mother and then start making you feel bad about it.

"Anyway... would you like to help me bake? I was going to but Kaeya sort of interrupted..." you said. "Oh sweetie I'd love to, but I need to talk to you about something, and then I have to head out." She said. "Since the Windblume festival is coming up, I need your artsy side to help us make tons of Whindweel Aster-themed pinwheels."

"Well, of course! About how much would you need me to make?" You asked. "About a two hundred of them."

"T-Two hundred?!"

"At least, yes."

Two hundred?! At least?! You can already feel the exhaustion from staying up overnight, making them all on your own. "I already volunteered you to set them up outside, Y/n. It'll be good for you to go out during the festival, as well." She said as she already made her way out.

Once she closed the door, you stayed in your spot.
You actually didn't mind doing anything for Lisa, it's only the fact that you're going to have to go outside. And somehow, every time you leave your house, you always manage to embarrass yourself. It doesn't matter what you're doing, who you're talking to, or where you're at. It's almost guaranteed, and you're starting to feel like you were just born with it.

Without further ado, you wrapped a bandage around your hand, and continued where you left off baking.
