#//Klee alone would probably know it's bc he's mimicking Crepus

When Kaeya gives out hugs, they’re almost always a little too tight. If asked, he will answer it’s because he wants to test how sturdy they are or teasingly ask if his hugs are not to their liking and offer to never do them again. Really, he’s just microdosing on the sort of hug he craves without having to ask for it.

#hc; kaeya #//He wants the sort of hugs Crepus used to give #//The kind that are tight enough to make yer spine bones crack a lil bit and squishes the air from your lungs #//But are also just so WARM bc the person's putting their all into it; like they don't want to let you go #//LOVES those sort of hugs; misses them dearly #//He realized Diluc would probably be the only person who could possibly give them; of those he's comfortable with #//Him being so strong and all #//But Kae would rather DIE than ask him for one #//The answer would absolutely be no; he's well-aware of that #//So he'd rather spare himself having to swallow his pride and be vulnerable just to be turned away; thanks #//If by some miracle Diluc were to offer though; he might either bluescreen or make the man Regret it by NEVER LETTING GO for the next hour #//Prolly bluescreen and freak out; bc whO IN THE HECK IS THIS PERSON??? THIS AIN'T THE DILUC HE KNOWS- #//It's extremely wishful thinking and foolish to hope the man ever would though #//He really likes giving hugs to His People; would do so every chance he sees open #//Knows it makes Klee squeak a little when he does; the way he used to. He finds that adorable #//She's his favorite to hug for that reason; though he's careful not to crush her too much #//The moment she wants out; he's letting go and checking in on her #//Prolly spooked her the first time he did that; felt bad enough to take her for a sweet treat and explain why he hugs like that #//Klee alone would probably know it's bc he's mimicking Crepus #//He knew telling her would basically ensure the secret would be out; but he still makes her promise to keep it
