    Summary

    He’s a Haravatat, Kaveh thinks with no small amount of disdain. And…a grandmother’s boy, two years his junior, with a green thumb; a master of his craft, who’s never walked anyone else through his tiny, enchanting gardens. Maybe, just maybe, it balances out.

    Kaveh isn't going into battle or anything, so it's not like he needs the absolute strongest potions he can get his hands on. It's just, like, you know, the shopkeeper is kinda hot and funny, when he's not busy running the most pretentiously named alchemical brewery in existence. Kaveh has room in his budget for a visit every now and again. With coffee.

    Summary

    “Coming!” Al-Haitham calls, navigating the maze of packing peanuts and crates. He undoes the latch on the door and lets it swing open, fully expecting to see the bearded face of his landlord only to be met with the vermillion-eyed face of somebody he had given up hope on seeing for the rest of his life.

    There’s a long moment of silence. The aching swell of Vivaldi in the background and the rushing in his ears like the ocean waves.

    “...Kaveh?”

    Kaveh, globally-renowned musician, disappears off the face of Teyvat. Five years later, he shows up outside of Al-Haitham's door with no explanation but to ask for a bed to sleep in.

    It's fine. They only have thirteen years of history, after all.

    Summary

    Kaveh prides himself on being a loyal individual. He's loyal to his career as an architect, even if his debts make him wonder why he bothers with the low cuts he earns from his commissions. He's loyal to his friends, always willing to show up when they need him. He's even loyal to his no good, down right awful, boyfriend. Well, ex-boyfriend. A bad breakup, news of cheating, and a night of drinking leads to revenge being served.

    Too bad he didn't realize that his one-night stand was about to be his boss for the foreseeable future. Surely this won't come back to bite him later, right?

    Summary

    Kaveh’s other hand, sticky with sugar, comes up to cradle Al-Haitham’s jaw and slip into his hair, and Al-Haitham doesn’t even care. How can he? He only cares about Kaveh, Kaveh and the feeling of his touch and his mouth.

    Every time they break apart, Kaveh whispers three words to him before kissing him once more, and Al-Haitham takes those words and tucks them somewhere within him, underneath his collarbone and deep within his rib cage.

    Summary

    “Why does it not–” Kaveh’s voice ripped out in a whine. “Have you not thought about it at all since then?”

    A long pause. The longest one yet. “Who says I haven’t?”

    Lightning flashed through the window, illuminating Al-Haitham’s face. Half of it was still wrapped in shadow, blocked by Kaveh’s head, but he could see the distance between them measured, laid flat by the light. The lightning went. The room went dark. But the memory of Al-Haitham’s wide eyes did not leave him.

    What did he want?

    “Have you?” asked Kaveh.

    “Have you?” Al-Haitham’s voice was so quiet, buried under the murmur of the rain.

    Kaveh swallowed. “I mean…I thought that was obvious.”

    Kaveh accidentally sleeps with Al-Haitham. And then...keeps sleeping with him.
