Kaeya covered his mouth as soon as he woke up, breathing heavily.

He hated nights like these. He shouldn't keep having these horrible nightmares.

It's been so long and now he was happy: A stable job where his worth was recognized, his relationship with his brother, Diluc, seemed to be improving, now he had someone who cared about him no matter how much he refused to accept that it was like that.

Why was he truggling like this?

But if you were by his side and he didn't want to wake you up, you mattered to him more than he could admit since he believed that doing that would save you from meeting demons that didn't belong to you.

He got up and began to dress stealthily, not wanting to make too much noise so as not to interrupt your sleep.
