I woke up in my bed for once I didn't spend the night studying I actually went to bed for once. I get up and head to the bathroom for a shower. I get out and dry my hair and I tie it back up in a ponytail. I search my dresser for my contacts but I couldn't find them so I head to my bed side table and pull out my glasses I only ever wear them when I'm studying but seems like today I will need to wear them to school. I put on a yellow jumper , black jeans and a pair of yellow converse. I grab my bag and carry it downstairs before placing it at the door next to Klee's backpack and I start to make breakfast I was in a good mood so I decided to make Klee pancakes.

I plate the pancakes "Klee breakfast" I sit down across from her seat and start to eat my pancakes, Klee comes down rubbing her eyes "did you sleep well "

"Yeah " she sits down and starts to eat her breakfast "where did you get that jacket " Klee points at the jacket Kaeya gave me which I had left in the living room
" A friend , did you have fun at Qiqi"

"Yeah we played doctors with the plants in her garden" she smiles while eating her food .

I look over at the jacket sitting on the couch, I get up and put the jacket on before sitting back down and continue eating my breakfast.

While me and Klee eat I hear a knock on the door I get up and open the door.

"Good morning blondie I brought you some coffee but I didn't know what kind you liked so I got a caramel latte and a black coffee to ends of the spectrum" he smiles and holds out the coffee cups

"Why are you here this early would you like to come in " I hold the door open and gesture for him to come in

"Well it was nice walking with you yesterday  so yeah and I see your wearing my jacket blondie " he places the coffee on the table and he says hello to Klee

"Well I was going to give it back to you today " I start to take it off before he stops me

"I said you could keep it so keep it, what coffee do you want anyway "
He holds up the coffee again

"I will have the caramel one " he passes me the coffee"so your a sweet coffee guy " I start to clean up the plates from breakfast

"Klee why don't you go up and make sure all you jumpy dumpy's are safe okay " I look at Klee and bend my knees so I'm at her height

"Okey dokey " she runs upstairs and I return to doing the dishes

"Yeah I tend to pick up a vanilla latte on the way to school but when I'm making it to keep me awake I just drink black coffee " I take a sip of the coffee it was good but I would probably not order it myself.

"I didn't know you wore glasses " Kaeya comes over and leans on the counter next to me sipping his coffee

"Yeah I couldn't find my contacts " I look at what Kaeya was wearing he was wearing a black tank top, white trousers, black boots and a blue jacket. " And you wear an eyepatch so you can't talk "

Kaeya starts to laugh"okay okay I will stop blondie... You should wear them more often" he smiles and sips his coffee

"You are so comfortable so quickly we aren't even friends "

"But you just said a friend gave you that jacket " Klee is standing behind us with her backpack on swinging her arms not realising what she had done

"Oh did he now " he gets down on his knees "what else did he say "
" nothing else but he was in a good mood this morning he even made pancakes" she swings her arms in excitement over pancakes

"Wow really oh look there is something behind your ear " he reaches his hand behind Klee's ear before pulling out a coin and flicking it in his hand

"Are you magic " Klee whispers to him. "Yes I am " he does a few more slide of hand tricks before standing back up.

"Klee do you have everything for school" I hand Klee her lunchbox and drink before grabbing my own and put it in my bag

"Yup~" she stands at the door ready to leave. Kaeya grabs his coffee and walks to the door.

"Well let's get going blondie and little blondie " he laughs as he says this and Klee starts to giggle.
I pick up my bag and can't help but laugh as well.

Klee skips out the driveway and Kaeya follows her while I lock the door and I catch up to them " will you ever stop calling me blondie you know my name " I look at Kaeya

He looks back at me with a smirk " No Albedo I won't stop calling you blondie and anyway she doesn't mind being called little blondie "

Klee spins around " yeah "
I respond" oh it's nothing Klee " she spins back around and continues skipping down the path

"Why you calling her little blondie"
Kaeya pulls his phone out before responding

"Well she is your little sister right so little blondie" he starts typing on his phone

I look at him "she is not my sister " he stops walking and looks at me "is she ... YOUR CHILD " he almost dropped his coffee

"No no oh archons no she is my "cousin" kind of " the relief on his face when I clarified that

"What do you mean kinda your cousin " he seemed genuinely curious about it . But before I responded I said bye to Klee as she ran into school

"Well her mother took me in Alice, I had always called her auntie so in that sense she is my cousin but we aren't related we just look alike it's a common misconception some people think I am Alice's son" I sip my coffee as we walk towards the school

"Oh okay still gonna stick with calling her little blondie " he chuckles

"Why do you keep wanting to walk  with me you said yesterday you don't get to and you said you came over to walk with me "  I was genuinely curious because we had only started actually talking yesterday so it feels like such a jump.

"Well I get dropped to school I live to far away even if I did live closer my driver will only drop me off at school, the coffee shop or a friend's house so I got dropped to yours since now I'm your friend " he places his arm on my shoulder

"Fine I will admit I'm your friend happy " I look at him and he just starts to laugh

" What's so funny "

"Well it hasn't been easy most people would love to be my friend or consider me there friend just by starting a conversation with them " he continues to laugh before saying

" you where playing hard to get "

That felt odd the way he phrased it that's the way a guy would describe trying to get a girl it did make me wonder was this all some joke but his genuine smile yesterday makes me debate it, is it genuine is it not I feel like I should be plucking flower petals as I say it which just makes me go back to the idea of romance.
I know he is openly bi nearly the entire school knows that and is this his intent.
