Summary
"I… just called to say good night."
A pause.
"Kaveh, are you alright?"
or; Kaveh hasn't spoken with Al-Haitham for two years. One random night and with too many drinks in, Tighnari dared him to call Al-Haitham and say nothing to him but good night.

Summary
In which Alhaitham’s grandmother thinks they’re a couple and, well. They play along.
Alhaitham was a good actor. No, that was an understatement: Alhaitham was an impressively skilled actor. He was utterly unfazed throughout the exchange, — even while discussing honeymoon plans — a languid arm thrown around Kaveh’s waist, rubbing absentminded circles onto his skin as if he were perfectly at ease pretending that Kaveh really was his lover, his safe space, his joy and comfort.
And it was… oddly soothing. A firm, grounding grip on his body, a compliment here and there, a demonstration of care and attention in between comments about Inazuman tourist attractions. It felt natural, even, organic, as if Alhaitham weren’t acting at all. And that was the worst part. The last thing Kaveh needed was to fall in love with his roommate (who he also considered to be his best friend, although he’d never admit that out loud).

Kaveh
Professor in the KSHAHREWAR DEPARTMENT
THE AKADEMIYA
ATD 211
Rating: 2/5
Professor Kaveh is the nicest professor ever, will help you with your projects, and brings free chai during finals week, BUT he will keep you past the scheduled class time to complain about Professor Alhaitham from Haravatat.
Be sure to pay attention during those rants because he DOES include test questions about them. I failed the final because I didn’t remember the exact date Professor Alhaitham supposedly “betrayed” him by eating his last pita pocket.
Or, the students and faculty of the Akademiya try to uncover the truth behind Professor Alhaitham and Kaveh's rivalry.

Summary
A business trip to Mondstadt brings Kaveh and Alhaitham much closer than they have been in many years. The proximity brings up years of unresolved tension, and when Alhaitham touches Kaveh their first night in their hotel room, they are brought face to face with all that they had left unsaid over the years. Will they let it remain unresolved, or will they finally face it head-on?
Title from Conversations in the Dark by John Legend, simply because the lyrics remind me of them.
