For whatever reason I can see it being a Fatui that kidnapped you. Perhaps to get payback for the massacre Diluc caused back in Snenznaya. Whatever the reason, once Diluc finds out you’re gone and it was because of the Fatui? Oh he’s more then pissed.
If they wanted to upset him, they succeeded. Perhaps too successfully as when he finally finds you, most of the Fatui that’s been there to ensure you don’t escape has been soaking in a pool of their own blood. He of course won’t hurt anyone violently if you’re in the room, but he will knock the other people in there out. He’ll pick you up and hide your face in his chest as he calmly walks out.
When you are back home, he’ll take a few days off work to ensure you’re okay after what happened, and maybe if it comes to it he may actually ask some of the Knights of Favonius for help as well.
Honestly whether or not he actually hurt anyone is up to you, however I do think that when it comes to family, he isn't that hesitant to be a bit more violent then usual.
Tumblr media
Getting adopted and having your father being the ex-archon of Liyue had it's ups and downs, especially as you witnessed your father continuously forget his wallet, however never have you thought you'd get kidnapped.
You weren't sure why though, Zhongli had kept his identity a secret and the only ones knowing were other Archons and the traveler as far as you knew plus Zhongli in his "mortal" form isn't that much of an important figure to others, nor is he famous. Yet here you were, treasure hoarders surrounding you.
Meanwhile, Zhongli was panicking wondering where you went. One second you were close behind him, the next you were gone. So he quickly called upon some of the adeptus to search for you and thankfully, you also had the privilege to call upon Xiaos name and he'll come right to your side. Whatever happened to the treasure hoarders?
You're not sure, Xiao simply teleported you away and right into your fathers arms as he held you tight before disappearing into the green mist once again. Zhongli checks all over you to ensure you aren't hurt. After that day, he's sure to always have an eye on you and when he cannot. An adeptus will look out for you from afar.

Being a Knight, and a captain in fact. Kaeya definitely encountered people wanting to push his cool persona over the edge. It's part of the reason why he's a bit hesitant on growing closer to certain loved ones.
He's afraid of loosing them, so when he lost you. He did not take it well, despite his cool demeanour when he ordered some knights to go search for you, people like Jean and his brother Diluc were quick to see he was in a state of panic, Jean even offered to take over the search so Kaeya could relax but he didn't want too. He had to find you safe and sound, even if that meant he had to get hurt.
When you are finally found, he's quick to take whoever's responsible away and have Jean deal with them properly as he himself brings you to Barbara who checks for injuries you may have sustained. He's by your side at all times and may even be hesitant to leave your side.
Even though Jean likely did give him some time off to spend time with you and for him to cool down after what happened, he's still unwilling to leave you alone, even with another babysitter. He does reluctantly agree when his older brother offers to take care of you. He knows Diluc is strong and will be able to protect you. (Better than Diluc protecting him anyways)
Tumblr media
Whoever kidnapped you must have a death wish or something...
Of course it's easy to see why someone were to kidnap you. I mean, being the kid of not only the fatui, but a harbinger. It's clear why someone tried to kidnap Tartaglia's kid but...it's not smart either.
The Fatui have a large amount of people working for them, and most aren't afraid to attack. And due to the fact Childe is a harbinger, it's easy for him to get people to find you as soon as he knows of your disappearance and when you are found, he asks his subordinates to take you back to his house where his family will look after you whilst Childe *cough cough* uh...deals with the perps responsible.
He'll come back soon, cleaned up but faintly smelling of blood and double checks to see you're okay. Now he does go back to work faster then anyone else, this is mainly because I don't think he'll really be allowed time off, however he does have some subordinates keep an eye on you from afar.
Tumblr media
Oh archons, he is p a n i c k i n g. Once Kaveh finds out you've been kidnapped he's so worried, it takes Alhaitham to actually shake him to get him to finally focus on finding you. Unfortunately unlike the others listed in this post so far, he cannot easily go looking for you himself. However being friends with Cyno does mean you have the General of the Mahamatra looking for you and he is good at his job.
It may take awhile but eventually Cyno does find you, and after dealing with the kidnappers and arresting them. Takes you to the Sumeru hospital (they have one right?) to get healed as he tells Kaveh that you've been found.
Kaveh stays by your side no matter what, he'll sleep on the damn floor of the hospital if he has too, he doesn't even leave you once you're discharged from it either. He feels so guilty about what happened and blames himself so he tries his best to make more time with you. Even if this means his debts may increase, he just wants to spend as much time with you as possible encase this happens again.
And hey, Alhaitham may be kind enough to dismiss Kavehs missed rent payment that month.
Tumblr media
Weehee. I actually enjoyed writing this :D However next time please make sure to check to see if my requests are open before sending one in, in any case I hope you liked this <33

OF GOLD AND GREEN
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Synopsis: Being the adopted child of Alhaitham and Kaveh
They're both really good parents
But they have different parenting styles
Like how at fancy dinners Kaveh lets you have a sip of his wine and Alhaitham is glaring at him across the table
Alhaitham is always the one who wakes up before the rest of the world and Kaveh sleeps in snoring his head off
On your school days Alhaitham gently wakes you up and gets you ready for school after he prepared breakfast
Kaveh has already dragged himself out of bed and is pouring more syrup on his pancakes then needed and Alhaitham snatches it away
Kaveh is always in charge of doing your hair
As usual, Alhaitham will listen to the conversation that you have with Kaveh, talking about your friends at school and what your new favorite things are, and why your favorite color is your favorite
Let's assume that your elementary school is near or at the Akademia so Alhaitham usually takes you to school and Kaveh picks you up since Alhaitham works late
When he works late Kaveh spends the evening with you and shows you what his blueprints look like
He draws random buildings for you to color in and will always complement you on your 'artistic eye'
Going off of this, Kaveh nurtured your ability to draw and now many a drawing of Kaveh, Alhaitham, and you sit around the house
Sometimes Alhaitham takes you to work with him and you sit in his office and doodle while he works
Alhaitham reads to you before bed every night as a routine
On weekends when Alhaitham has to work Kaveh takes care of you and he brings you all over Sumeru and shows you his architectural designs
Or he will draw with you and shows you how to make a blueprint
Sometimes when they're both working they need to leave you in the care of Nahida or the Traveler
Alhaitham always makes sure that you are on top of your work and he gets really proud when you show him a good test score and a smile saying you are at the top of the class
You're their pride and joy

i’m thinking about kaveh first dropping off his kid in ghandarva ville. he did a good job explaining to them that he’ll be back before they know it and that he’ll alway be there for them. before he leaves he feels little hands clutching onto his leg as they just whisper “you promise you’re gonna come back? you won’t leave me, right? you promise you won’t leave me?”
i'll be back.
summary. kaveh finds the strength to leave his child in gandharva ville.
trigger & content warnings. fear of abandonment, references to kaveh's backstory.
tropes, pairings, fic length, & other notes. comfort, soft angst. adoptive dad!kaveh & child!reader. 0.9k words. they/them pronouns for reader.
author's thoughts. wow you just woke up today and chose gentle violence huh anon /LH i love soft angst. hard angst? yeah, it definitely hurts, but soft angst like this? idk. it hits different sometimes!!!
Tumblr media
kaveh did not want to resort to this. he didn't.
the architect truly, sincerely had tried his very best to think of any alternate solutions—maybe he could convince alhaitham to give [name] a chance? no, caring for a child he impulsively decided to pick up off the streets isn't his roommate's responsibility and it really never would be unless the scribe himself decided to take it on, but some people have spontaneous changes of heart! why would alhaitham be any different?
(unfortunately, said man was not going to budge anytime soon. a child would disrupt the comfortable life he had put so much effort into building. kaveh had no choice but to accept that fact. well, really, he knew from the beginning! he was just hoping alhaitham might change.)
in the end, he managed to come up with nothing. he could not think of a single good or attainable option that would allow him to keep them. as much as he hated to admit it, only alhaitham's solution was a viable and reasonable one.
so, here he is, standing in front of tighnari's home in gandharva ville motionlessly with his child held securely in his arms. there were no words in any language that kaveh knew of that could describe what he was feeling. he wordlessly rubs soothing circles on their back.
the silence is impossibly loud.
tighnari does not rush him. he does not so much as even think of complaining. he simply waits quietly with collei at his side, the girl bouncing on her heels slightly in a nervous fidget. she wants to be a good caretaker to [name]; tighnari knows the prospect alone of having to care for them is making her nervous.
kaveh's slightly wavering voice finally breaks the silence:
"you know why i have to leave you here, right?"
they nod quietly, little hands clenched in fists raising up to rub at their watery eyes with their palms—they hope it looks like they're tired and not like they're about to cry, which they are. they hope he doesn't know they're about to cry. they hope he just thinks they're tired from the long journey. they hope he doesn't know the truth.
kaveh knows, of course.
he doesn't say anything about it, though, and only tries to swallow back his own emotions. he tries his best to repress the nauseous feeling stirring in his gut. he tries his best to repress the crawling of his skin. he tries his best to repress the thoughts that this is so impossibly wrong, so impossibly cruel of him.
he hasn't known this child for long, but...
he felt like he was abandoning them.
he felt like he was abandoning his flesh and blood.
absentmindedly, kaveh wondered if this was how his mother felt when she left to fontaine. he hopes not. this feeling is vile. he wouldn't wish it upon his worst enemy.
"and you also know that i'm going to come back all the time to see you, right? and i'm always going to be here if you need me?"
their voice cracks slightly. "yeah."
it's not at all that kaveh doesn't trust tighnari and collei; he does, and he knows they'll take good care of [name], but... still. he wants to be the one taking care of them. he wants to keep them.
he can't.
kaveh then kneels down, and their heart sinks in to the pit of their stomach, despite the fact that they already knew this was inevitably going to happen. just as they dreaded, he sets them down onto their own two feet.
they're reluctant to release their tiny grip from his shirt, but they do so regardless of their hesitance. a slight whimper rises in their throat when kaveh's warmth is gone from them.
kaveh hasn't ever really had to comfort children before.
he's... not sure what to do from here, quite frankly, so he does the first thing that comes to mind.
he leans forward, pressing the smallest, most hesitant of kisses to the crown of their head.
then, he stands up.
he doesn't get very far before one of their little hands is clutching his pant leg, and he inhales sharply, turning back to face them. "[name]..."
kaveh cuts himself off.
their eyes are wide, glittering with the sheen of unshed tears, and their bottom lip is split and cracked—they've either been picking at it or biting it, kaveh notes. how did he not notice before?
in their moment of sadness and stress, their accent peeks through a bit more heavily. it's in a shaky voice on the brink of breaking that they ask, "you promise you're gonna come back, right? you won't leave me, will you?"
...
kaveh earnestly believes he might cry about this when he gets home. oh well. alhaitham will simply have to deal with it.
for now, though, he doesn't cry. he can't.
the architect kneels back down to their height, wiping away the single tear that slid down their cheek with his calloused fingertips. "of course."
"you— you're not gonna leave me, right? you're not leaving me?"
"no. never. i promise, okay?" he whispers. "i'm here, okay? i'm always here if you need me. you just need to tell tighnari. he'll tell me you asked for me and i'll come back here. anytime."
kaveh briefly wonders if he'll regret making such a promise—his clients may suffer if they ask for him at a bad time—but then again...
he can't really say he ever will, not with the way they look at him with such vulnerable trust.
he can't regret it when they're putting their damaged trust into his hands.
please consider reblogging, it helps me out quite a lot!

when somebody needs you (+ baklava)
Tumblr media
kaveh & gn!reader | wc: ~1.5k
In a much-needed moment of respite, you and Kaveh both learn not to give so much in the pursuit of others' happiness.
tags/warnings: hurt/comfort, mild angst, written platonically but can be interpreted as romantic, description of disassociation (reader), and nail-picking (kaveh)
notes: n/a
Tumblr media
A voice calls your name, dangerously soft.
You want to snap out of the stupor you’re stuck in, but white noise rings in your ears. It threatens to drown out the singsong of daily life as the seconds tick by. Maybe you didn’t even hear it at all, because the sunlight feels fake upon your skin, and the line between reality and the pit of your mind blurs further.
Your name again, louder. Ah, well, no excuse now - do something.
“Hm?” you hum. A small part of you realizes that you’ve been staring at the same market stall for at least an hour, but it’s easier to remain transfixed on an inconsequential target than your own thoughts.
“I asked if you’re alright,” they place a hand on your shoulder and squeeze. “Ahem, that brute stole my ke–uh, something important of mine again. I was heading back here to kill time, but you’re still in the same spot as when I first saw you.”
Kaveh. His hand is on your shoulder, and you can picture his brow furrowed in concern that you don’t deserve. You take a deep breath.
“Yes. I’m alright.” You don’t dare face him.
The silence that follows your lie is comforting. However, the architect must not agree. Kaveh finds his words after a too-long pause. “..In that case, could I sit with you? It’s beautiful out today.”
You nod mechanically, and a blur of blond and white settles in your peripherals.
“You know,” he starts, and you strain to hear him. “I haven’t seen you around much lately. If there’s something you want to talk about, I can listen. We could get lunch,” he offers kindly.
You wrench your head to the side to take a good look at your friend. He’s breathtaking, and it’s almost criminal that he doesn’t realize it. He’s looking at you with his bleeding heart on display, and you know that he knows. He must, right?
“With what mora?” you joke. Kaveh lights up like he just won the lottery when you bloom at his behest. “Why, Alhaitham’s, of course.”
That’s right; he’s more inclined to let go of his pride when you’re around. One usually can’t waterboard his living situation or reliance upon his roommate out of him. It’s not that he’s arrogant, you think, but that he has to shed his Light of Kshahrewar persona - and you’re grateful for the privilege. He certainly deserves a reprieve, even if it’s better spent with someone else.
“And that wouldn’t be too much trouble?” “Nonsense, don’t be silly. I could also use your opinion on some of my revisions,” his bravado softens. “I’d love your company.” 
He’d love your company. It’s dangerous for him to say things like that - sweet conjectures that haul you to your feet and make you agree to spend the afternoon with him. 
Walking down Treasures Street with Kaveh is a familiar activity, sure, but this time he’s merciful enough not to comment on your sluggish movements or lackluster replies, when you’re usually matching his intellectual wit head-on. Another thing you owe him.
“Something sweet is a must,” he mutters, holding the door of Puspa Café open for you. “What do you think? Baklava?”
On second thought, maybe you’ll save your debilitating guilt for after dessert.
Tumblr media
When Kaveh’s teeth are sufficiently sticky, there still has been no heart-to-heart therapeutic conversation. Something awful gnaws at him when you stare blankly down at your portion. So, he talks at you like you’re a client, even if it feels wrong. You’re his friend, someone who has seen him at his worst - and he finds himself lacking the right words to get you to open up. As he rambles about his recent projects, his work on Mehrak, and the trips he’s taken to the desert, he’s reminded of how little you’ve talked about yourself period.
He can preach about tact to his roommate all he likes, but this is a contender for one of his more humbling experiences. How many times have you wanted to leave early before this, but you were too wonderful to say anything? How many hours of your life has he wasted by making everything all about him? 
Inviting you here was supposed to be an attempt at listening to you for once, and he– You snap in front of his face. “Hey. You’re not making any sense.” “Oh! Sorry, I must have gotten caught up in my thoughts,” he chuckles sheepishly. “I know the feeling. Also,” you rap against the table near his lounging hand, one of his restless index fingers picking at the adjacent thumb’s cuticle. “You’re messing with your nails again. Something on your mind?” His heart is about to overflow whether he likes it or not. “I want to help.” You blink twice, eyes now glossy. Since when did you perk up? “You are helping.” “I’ve been rambling this whole time–” “–And I’ve been listening,” You cross your arms over your chest matter-of-factly, now chuckling. “Clearly you haven’t, because in the latter half of that spiel, you started reciting shitty poetry instead of whatever filler you had prepped.” The soft expression he wore morphs into abject horror. “I did not.” You’re grinning evilly, and it’s beautiful. Oh Archons, he did. However, had he known making a fool of himself frees you of your pain that you guard sacred, he would have screamed purple prose from the rooftops like a madman at the earliest opportunity. “That aside, what I’m trying to say is.. you are helping, Kaveh. Dragging me here, away from all the noise, and keeping me company means a lot.” The mist haunting your visage has been warded off, accidental soliloquy aside. “I’m sorry for not being upfront about my situation.” “I know the feeling,” he parrots. The scope of his empathy extends to everyone, himself be damned, but it shouldn’t have taken this long to realize what’s been festering in plain sight. “No apologies. Please allow me to lend an ear, even if I’ve been difficult about it myself. I insist.”
A sip of cold, neglected coffee can’t taste too good. You tough it out and then nod stiffly. Details emerge cautiously, muddled by hesitancy and exhaustion, but he listens with rapt attention. Kaveh feels closer than a seat away from you, backing you with all the support he can muster - and when you choke up in front of him for the first time, he swears that he’ll make sure you feel safe enough to do so more often, starting with Baklava pick-me-ups every week.
Tumblr media
Regrettably, the world moves on. Tabs are settled, the tear tracks on your cheeks dry, and the sun begins to set, casting the district in a citrinous orange. Though your mind is clearer than it has been in days, there’s still a niggling urgency as you walk your friend back to his Not-Home.
You’re not alright. You’re not alright, and Kaveh knows more than you ever planned to tell him, but at least there’s comfort in the fact that he’s the exact same way. He never planned to tell you about his mother, or the monumental regrets he’d do anything to put to bed. When he let you in, you should have made yourself at home also. Now there is no idle chatter. You pick up the torch. “I like when you talk. Just because you felt like it wasn’t helping me is no reason to go all quiet on me now,” you nudge him with your elbow. Carmine eyes narrow in suspicion. “B-But I literally ‘recited shitty poetry’ when I was–” “Oh, about that..” Kaveh’s strides stretch wider, his many accessories bouncing in pursuit of a space safe from your teasing. A playful scoff. “..I’m never living that down, am I?” “If you don’t want your experimental free verse plastered on the nearest message board, I’ll be expecting a bribe prepared by next Wednesday.” You think the architect is endeared enough by your noticeable uplift in spirit to let it slide. You love him very much, and he must love you too. “Extortion is a serious crime,” he slows down, taking it like a champ. “But it’s a deal. We could meet again then, same spot? I’ll have ample time in the late afternoon.” It hurts to swallow. “Yeah. We could.. talk.” His head eagerly swivels towards you, one hair clip almost dislodging. There’s no missing the glimmer of hope present in each almost imperceptible warp of his features. Alhaitham’s house looms in the distance. “About what’s on your mind?” he hopes. “Yes,” you make yourself say it. “And yours too. Then the revisions you’ve agonized over the last two months.” Kaveh releases the breath he was holding, unabashed in his smiling now. “It’s a promise then.” Such a promise with your best friend is something you’ll try to stop feeling guilty about. As you watch him break from your side onto the porch of his temporary residence (and pound on the door irately), you believe that it will get easier. After all, who else will buy you dessert?

OKAY - Kaveh & reader
i. SUMMARY: Kaveh doesn't know how to help. But that doesn't mean he won't try. ii. CONTENT WARNINGS: Mentions of alchohol, vaguely implied depression(?) iii. NOTES: Can be read as romantic or platonic (written as platonic), angst, hurt/comfort, gn!reader, 0.5k words. iv. A/N: Aaaaaah this is my first work on this account... and so ofc I had to pick my favourite boy Kaveh <3 This is platonic by the way! We need more platonic fics in this fandom.
Tumblr media
“It’s going to be okay…” Kaveh whispered. The words sounded hollow, even to himself. They seemed to pass through (Name)’s ears without registering in the slightest. “It’s going to be okay.” He repeated, stressing the last word.
What else could he say, to someone who looked like they were on the verge of breaking? What words would comfort someone who barely had the energy to breathe? How does he bring light to their eyes when they look like they were beyond the point of looking anything but dull?
Kaveh swallowed, hard. “(Name)?”
He didn’t receive a response.
“(Name)… are you okay with touch right now?” Kaveh asked carefully. Their head jerked in an almost imperceptible nod. He rested one hand on their shoulder, giving it the softest squeeze he could, and he could only watch as they began to crack.
A choked sob broke away from their throat, strangled and defeated and devastating to Kaveh’s ears. His face fell even further, and he pulled on their shoulder gently until they were tugged into his chest. He felt their arms snake around his waist, hands scrabbling to grab handfuls of the back of his shirt. Kaveh did the same, circling his arms around them and embracing them as gently as he could.
He had them held in his arms, head tucked neatly under his chin, cheek pressed against his chest, and tear-covered eyes staining the front of his shirt. With the pad of his thumb, he started to trace circles on their shoulder. Soft murmurs of comfort fell from his lips, anything to try and soothe their pain.
Kaveh knew pain as well as a dear friend. It was ever present, following him right beside his shadow. From losing his father, to watching his mother slip between his fingers, every moment in his life seemed to knock him back further into despair. In a moment of weakness (or drunkenness, he should say), he admitted to Alhaitham that he was fated to be miserable throughout his life.
“It’s inevitable.” Kaveh lamented, barely seeming to notice Alhaitham watching him with a blank expression. “I might as well succumb to it sooner, rather than later.”
But even in the worst of his misery, he pushed forward. A rejected design was followed by another three with varying improvements. A scammer swindling him out of a paycheck was replaced with two more commissions to make up for the lost money. A lonely night in the tavern by himself was forgotten by the morning.
And, on nights when the dark thoughts clouding his head felt as thick and impassable as the Withering of Avidya Forest, when he couldn’t move from the mound of blankets atop his bed, he heard the open and shut of a door. When he emerged, there was a warm cup of fragrant tea waiting for him on the bedside table, a hastily written note from Alhaitham informing him of where he was headed, and a distinct feeling of there being someone there for him.
If he could be the one to be there for (Name), then he would not stop until he pulled them out of their spiral. When he spoke next, his words were firm, leaving no room for doubt.
“It will be okay.”

Traveler's little helper -Extra-: Curiosity - Nahida (feat Sumeru Boys x Fem!Reader)
This is something I wanted to post before... I went to the small hiatus, now I finished this short thing but sorry for mistakes, it's 1 Am now and I'm tired... [ Teyvat , Mondstadt , Liyue ] ------
Nahida found it interesting, how can you still not be able to  see those boys holding affections towards you. At first she wondered “Are you really blind for their courting? Or maybe you don’t want to see it?” You’re very friendly, no matter if it’s a guy or girl, if you want to take someone somewhere you won’t hesitate to hold their hand, if someone is sad you always offering a hug. But she did notice that when it comes to guys, there are sometimes a moments when you do realize that you got ‘too close’ and start to feel a bit shy, apologizing to them. But then how could you not notice how they pout for not feeling warmth of your hand anymore?  The easiest way is to ask you and she did. -“Those boys really like spending time with you…but I can’t help and wonder…which one do you like the most?” you looked at her with confusion -“Which one? Hmm.. I like them all, after all they are my good friends!” You smiled so brightly to her. “Ah so you’re just that oblivious.” She thought back then. Nahida always liked to observe people and because of this she noticed the difference in behavior for some of the guys. Wanderer was the first one she noticed the changes in him. That’s not a secret that Wanderer enjoys watching people expressions, especially the negative ones. Making others angry is his little fun in everyday live. And at first it was the same with you, being rude or ignoring you to just see your angry face but this changed. To Nahida’s surprise she noticed how lately he have been only teasing you just to see your embarrassed face and not only that. It seems Wanderer started to like seeing your smile. When at first he would complain when you asked him to help with commissions, now he ‘offers’ help himself to do them. The next one was Kaveh. Always stressed and troubled by many things. But after you invited him to the Teapot he seems more relaxed and happy, of course you couldn’t take away his debt but you helped him a bit whenever you could. She noticed that Kaveh is more calm when discussing things with the clients about his projects. Before he would get angry quickly because of the stress and not wanting to be scammed again but now it  looks like he’s more clearheaded to find common ground on both sides. There is less arguments between him and Alhaitham those days as well, but in exchange now most of the time they clash with each other when it comes to you. The General Mahamatra have two modes, the work on and the work off, but at some point Nahida noticed that there one more “(Y/n) is here mode on”. You don’t mind his jokes, you would smile or even let a small laugh when he tell ones and when you do that, Nahida can see Cyno smiling too. Everyone knows how serious Cyno is when it comes to TCG, he won’t even show mercy when playing against you. But if someone paying close attention to Cyno they would notice how sometimes he gets deconcentrated by watching you choosing next cards. You’re good player but sometimes he lose because he got lost in his thoughts about you. Tighnari was better at hiding his affections towards you, at least when there were more people around. Nahida was watching you two as a little bird, you would listen to Tighnari talking about flowers but sometimes he would decorate your hair with some or giving you bouquets but you never knew the meaning behind them, this is only fact that Tighnari hid from you. You’re the only person who have permission to brush his tail or touch his ears, Nahida can’t count of her fingers now how many times Tighnari was so close to kiss you in moments like this. The little Dendro Archon can always see how Tighnari is protective over you, especially if you get hurt. No matter if the wound is small, Tighnari will always take care of it and softly scold you.
The hardest one to see their affections towards you is Alhaitham. Nahida is sure many other people didn’t even realized that he too takes part in the race of winning your heart. Alhaitham is very subtle with his affections, many may even mistook them for just him being kind to you. But if they know him better they can notice how he would enjoy to have conversations with you, after work he would invite you from time to time for some coffee or tea whichever you prefer. To Nahida, and even your surprise he do offer to read some books for you, when he sees that Paimon is busy and you are curious of the new book you found in your adventures with Aether.
The little Dendro Archon can’t help but be curious how this will go. Will one of them manage to win your heart? Or maybe someone else from another Nation will charm you? But there is something that has been bothering Nahida for a while now, whenever you spend time with the boys and they leave for moment or don’t look at you, she can see your eyes fill with sadness. The Dendro Archon started to wonder “Maybe you’re not that oblivious like everyone thinks?”

Intense Concentration (Part 1)
Reactions to a reader who sticks their tongue out when concentrating intently on something.
Featuring: Ayato, Kaveh, Neuvillette, Thoma, Yae Miko, Zhongli
All platonic fluff!
Ayato finds it rather amusing. He won’t tell you, but you’ll find that he’s sneaking glances at you far more often than usual, hiding his smirk behind a gloved hand. After a while, he simply can’t help himself, and before you can react, he’s reached out and swiped the seal of an envelope over your protruding tongue so that he can close it. He won’t even make eye contact with you, acting as if it was an entirely sane and normal thing for him to do.
Kaveh mimics you. Not consciously, he doesn’t even process the fact that you’re doing it until all of a sudden he’s been doing it for ages while working on some diagram or other and now the tip of his tongue is all dry and he can’t quite figure out why. Once he’s finally savvy to it, he finds this habit of yours utterly adorable and will do it along with you on purpose just so that you match.
Neuvillette tries to disregard it, though he ends up failing rather spectacularly. He finds it super adorable, and recalls that Melusines will do the same thing. Once he’s drawn that parallel, he can’t seem to stop thinking about it, and may end up just looking over at you more often than not with a tiny smile on his face. He may eventually bring it up, but he’s sure to be polite about it and explains that he’s simply curious, not judgemental.
Thoma calls you out on it. Every. Single. Time. “Hey, put that thing away!” “I don’t think you’ll have much luck catching flies like that.” “You know, if you’ve been up to something mischievous, you’re obligated to let me know.” He seems to have infinite quips up his sleeve for this exact situation. He may occasionally stick his tongue out at you in return if he’s too busy or distracted to pull you up on it verbally.
Yae Miko thinks it’s weird, but also quite fascinating. She’s drawing all sorts of conclusions in her head, comparing you to different animals she’s caught with ‘blep’ expressions in the past. She’ll just watch you without a word and wait to see how long you might take to notice. If she starts to tire of this ‘game’, she may just reach out one finger to prod the tip of your tongue, then chuckle at your perplexed reaction.
Zhongli doesn’t really think much of it. He’s met plenty of people who do the exact same thing. Though he’s also a little bit fascinated by the reasoning behind why others do it. He may occasionally try it himself, though it may look a little unsettling thanks to his abnormally long forked tongue, and the fact that it tends to subconsciously flick about, much like it would when he’s scenting the air for danger in his more draconic form.

4ggravate, platonic (found family), comfort. 500w.
Tumblr media
“Do you want us to walk you home?”
At the end of the night, bidding your friends goodbye was always hard. Tonight was even worse.
You hadn’t told any of them how stressed you’d been lately, but from the way Tighnari asked, you knew they could tell. Alhaitham and Kaveh were exchanging looks.
You shook your head, willing your sudden onset of tears back into your eyes. 
“What’s this about?” Cyno asked you, an electric glint in his eyes. “Did something happen?”
You shook your head again. You closed your eyes, wishing they’d all stop looking at you like this. 
Kaveh protested, “Y/N, don’t try to keep anything from us! You know we’re just going to bother you until you explain what's up.”
“Kaveh’s going to bother you,” Alhaitham clarified. “You don’t have to explain if you’re not up to it. But we’ll be walking you home.”
“Guys, it’s okay,” you choked out, smearing your tears with the heels of your palms. “It was just nice…. hanging out with you guys tonight.”
“And?” Kaveh prompted.
“And… That’s all.”
“Well,” Cyno said, “I could tell you a joke to ch—”
Tighnari cut him off. “I don’t think that’s going to be that helpful.
Cyno shrugged. “Then… Hurry up, let’s get you home.” He walked past you, leading the way down the street. You watched him over your shoulder.
“Can’t you tell us what’s up?” Kaveh whined. “I promise we’ll listen. We could go get coffee.”
“Or tea,” Tighnari added. “It’s late, and I think we all need to wind down from tonight.”
“Cyno’s getting away,” Alhaitham pointed out. “He definitely doesn’t need any coffee.”
Despite yourself, you giggled, though it sounded more like a sob. “Cyno on caffeine right now is not something I need to see. I’m stressed enough as it is.”
“Cyno, slow down!” Tighnari shouted. Cyno turned around in the middle of the road, waiting with wide, expectant eyes. 
“I would pay to see Cyno on more coffee right now,” Kaveh muttered. “Maybe that will cheer you up?”
You laughed again, and shook your head.
“Well, then, we’re walking you home. Don’t dally,” he declared.
Kaveh followed Tighnari, who was catching up with Cyno. Alhaitham followed, giving you a tiny, very comforting smile. “You’re talking when we reach your doorstep,” he said gently. “But, take as long as you need.”
You watched them group together, picking on each other and laughing and looking back at you sanguinely, you almost considered running in the opposite direction. Their company was such a good thing. You loved each of them dearly, uniquely. You just wanted each of them to be happy.
You heard Tighnari groaning, probably in response to a comment from Cyno. Kaveh was skittishly looking back over his shoulder, and Alhaitham was looking at Kaveh with a smile in his eyes you couldn’t even miss at your distance.
You ran to catch up with them.

Hi! I'm back with another idea.
How about a child!Reader with a strong love toward mechanisms and puzzles? Like they love trying to make new toys, would try to break down any mechanisms they deem interesting to understand how they work; or spending hours solving a really hard puzzle?
Still, that made them sharp, quick wit and careful with everything.
Hope this isn't too much. I'm really happy you did my last request.
Take care of yourself!
🌙 anon
Thanks for you worry 🌙 anon, and I'm happy you're so happy.
This request is awesome, I love it!
Your love of puzzles is discovered by Xianyun. She had you in her workshop, showing you one of the things she was working on. When she turns around, you're taking apart a failed device she didn't need anymore.
Xianyun: Young one, what are you doing?
Reader: Trying to see how this works.
Xainyun: ...
Yeah, to keep you from accidently opening up her finished projects she'll build small things to keep you busy. She finds your curiosity cute.
The second person to learn is Lisa, she was doing her work and you were playing with Klee. When it started to rain she called you two inside. Klee was drawing with crayons and Lisa saw you reading.
Lisa: What are you ready sweetie?
Reader: A book on ancient puzzles.
Lisa: Ok sweetie.
She enjoys your love of learning so much. Probably makes paper brain teasers and puzzles to keep you busy when it's her turn to watch you.
After the discovery, everyone tries to buy puzzles of old things for you to solve or take apart. Though it has lead to a few scares.
Miak had taken you on a hike and there was a domain nearby. He looked away for one second, and now you're inside the domain trying to solve the puzzles inside while ignoring the monsters trying to fight you. That made him wonder if he should tie a ribbon to your wrist so you don't run off, a child leash basically.
Albedo has given you puzzles to work on while he's working, but you take them apart and it kind of makes a mess. He doesn't mind, your love for learning makes him happy. Tried to get you into alchemy with no success.
In Sumeru, you try and get Kaveh to make you puzzles and he will, but they are very basic. Buys toys, hoping you'll play with them but he comes home to you taking them apart. At least you keep the prices in organized piles so the toy can be put back together.
Faruzan smiles with glee at your love of puzzles. She takes you under her century old wing. She gives you puzzles to try and solve while she does her work. You remind her of herself as a kid.
Faruzan: I see you like puzzles.
Reader: Yeah.
Faruzan: You shall be my student!
Reader: What?
She shows you her research in ruin puzzles and stuff like that. She got a nasty surprise when you disassembled one of the puzzles she gave you.
Over all they love your curiosity about mechanisms and puzzles, but for the love of the archons stop taking everything apart. It's getting a bit expensive to fix the stuff you take apart.

Sumeru Siblings Discover You’re Going Out
Tumblr media
Pairing(s): Alhaitham, Kaveh, Tighnari, Cyno, Wanderer, Collei, Nahida, Nilou, Layla, Faruzan, Candace, Dehya + Reader (Separately)
Warnings: None
Word count: 700+
Tumblr media
Alhaitham
“I’m going out!” You call out to your older brother. Silence. You walk up to his study, standing on the threshold “Did you not hear me? I’m going out.”
“I heard,” he looks up from the book he was indulging in. “I just don’t care. You’re an adult, take care of yourself”
Kaveh
“Where are you going?” You freeze, turning around to look at your brother. “Out?” You place your hand on the doorknob, planning to make a run for it.
“Without me?!” Kaveh gasps, placing a hand on his chest “You dare leave your twin brother here all alone?! With him?!” You roll your eyes. “Kaveh you’re a grown-ass man, act like it.” You open the front door, making a run for it. Cursing Kaveh for making you late to a TCG match.
Tighnari
“Forest or city?” Tighnari asks when you mention going out. “Forest” You can never leave the house without some sort of survival gear. The amount you take with you is dependent on where you’re going.
Cyno
Cyno is the definition of the protective older sibling. You don’t bother asking him to go out anymore, because if you do, you know you’ll be bombarded with questions. “Who? Where are you going? What will you be doing? What time are you going? What time will you be back? Do you need to be dropped off? Picked up?”
Technically they’re all reasonable questions. But nothing is reasonable when it comes to you going out by yourself.
Wanderer
He acts like he could care less, but would most likely follow you to make sure you’re alright. He has nothing better to do anyways. So, he wouldn’t mind staring down your friends or choking out someone who looked at you inappropriately.
Collei
She is not a snitch. Collei will keep your secrets till the day you die. It’s sibling code.
If you go out, she won’t ask to go with you. Collei knows you’re your own person, with your own life. And at the end of the day, you’ll be home in time to tuck her in and tell her the story of your adventure. Or Tighnari and Cyno will, but then you’ll get into heaps of trouble.
Nahida
“Ahem” Nahida crosses her arms, and you wince, turning around. “I thought I put you to bed, missy,” you raise an eyebrow.
“Yes, but I heard you going out,” Nahida responds. You sigh, walking towards her bedroom “Come on little sis, back to bed.”
Nilou
“Y/N! I need your help!” Nilou calls from her room. You sluggishly walk to her room, opening the door to find Nilou trying to yank a hairpiece out of her hair. You run over to her, grabbing her hands to stop her from hurting herself.
“How did this happen?” You ask, looking at her through the vanity mirror. “I saw on the calendar, that you were supposed to go out today. So I did this to myself, that way you have to stay home!” You stare at her in shock, your mouth agape “You sneaky son of a-”
Layla
You peek into Layla’s room to find her sound asleep on her desk. Just as you were about to open the front door, something grabs your sleeve. You whip your head around, now face-to-face with a sleepwalking Layla. You sigh, knowing she’s not going to let go of you anytime soon.
Faruzan
“You can’t go out Y/N! You have to stay here to help your Lady Faruzan,” you chuckle. “You worry too much big sister. I’ll be fine” Faruzan grumbles. “I forbid you from going out!” She stomps her foot but is met with silence. As you were already out the door.
Candace
She doesn’t really mind when you go out. She worries, of course. Asks the general “Where are you going?” and maybe will give you a curfew. She isn’t your typical ‘strict big sister’ she's fair, or at least she tries to be.
Deyha
You were standing on the front step when an arm suddenly gets wrapped around your shoulder. You scream, looking over your shoulder at Deyha "What the hell?!"
She just laughs, patting your shoulder "Where do you think you're going pip squick?" She raises an eyebrow. "Nowhere..." You mumble "Yeah! Not without your amazing big sis!"
Tumblr media
-> This has been sitting in my drafts for weeks lol Let me know if you want to see sibling headcanons for other nations!

Rice to meet you !
Tumblr media
☆ - a meat cute… (pun intended) ♡ - cyno, tighnari, kaveh, alhaitham ♪ - no warnings | (platonic) fluff | gn reader | wc: 700 ★ - note: this is my second entry for the Écrin de Littérature christmas event :3 i don’t normally write this much dialogue or this much in general so i hope it’s okay !
Tumblr media
with the festive season in full swing, it was common place for friendly gatherings to be held and meals to be shared. so, when you were invited to dine out with kaveh and his friends, you accepted. you’d met kaveh in lambad’s tavern, thankfully when he was still sober. you quickly became friends and often met back at your meeting place for food and drinks. this would be the first time dining and even meeting his friend group, and knowing the roles they play in sumeru, to say you were scared was an understatement. at the same time, becoming part of this friend group would be a great opportunity for you. not only would you gain more friends but you should gain a small amount of fame for associating with them so casually. it seemed like a win-win.
with a strange mix of excitement and nervousness swirling in your stomach, you made your way to the venue. you were meeting the other men at pardis dhyai, a lovely location for such a meal. not used to being this far from the city, you arrived a few minutes late. not great, but you hoped they’d forgive you. heading towards the gazebo, you could make out an argument between kaveh and who you knew to be alhaitham. so much for a friendly dinner. without already knowing the dynamics of their friendship, you considered leaving. before you could turn to leave, a jaded looking man with ears and a tail spotted you. there was no way out of it now, so you approached the group not far from you.
“ah, hello. you must be kaveh’s guest. i’m tighnari,” he spoke, offering his hand for you to shake. you do so, but before you could introduce yourself, kaveh noticed you.
“there you are! what took you so long?” he interrupted, bringing the attention of the other two men to you.
“sorry kaveh…” you uttered, though you couldn’t give your reasonings before he took your arm and brought you to the table. with no room to ask questions, you were now sat at a round karmaphala wood table. beside you sat kaveh to your right, and tighnari to your left. next to tighnari sat alhaitham, and next to him sat a man you would learn was cyno. the food was already on the table, its aroma enticing. before you all began to eat, you finally introduced yourself. a quick chorus of acknowledgment lead to small introductions from the others at the table.
“i’m tighnari, chief officer of the forest rangers.”
“i’m alhaitham. akademiya’s scribe.”
“i’m cyno, professional tcg player.”
a beat of silence.
“you already know me, i’m kaveh, light of kshahrewar.”
“if they already knew you, why introduce yourself again? hm, senior?”
“you-!”
“alright,” cyno interrupted, holding a small roll in his hand, “i don’t know about you, but i’m bready to eat.” you could practically hear tighnari’s eyes rolling, but you found yourself quietly laughing at the pun. as shocking as that was for the rest of them, it was welcomed. everyone tucked into their meals and fell into casual conversation. regardless, you could feel eyes on you.
time seemed to slip away, and soon enough the setting sun shone, illuminating the five of you with a soft gold light as a farewell. both meals and conversations had reached their endings, but before everyone could leave, cyno had a parting gift for the group. well, joke.
“before we all leave, let’s taco ‘bout how berry good this was. i carrot believe it. lettuce celebrate today! alright that’s enough…” despite the groans and complaints from the other three, you found yourself laughing. there it was again- eyes on you. now that the others had left, you decided it was best to settle things then and there.
“why do you keep staring at me?” cyno’s expression showed he was scared that you’d caught on, but that soon turned to a look of anxiousness.
“it’s just… why were you laughing at me?”
“laughing…? your jokes were funny.”
“oh. well. that’s…” averting his gaze, he trails off, not at all prepared for your honesty. after a moment, he looks back to you,
“that’s berry good news then.”

A Kaveh concept - Don't forget me
OKAY HEAR ME OUT. 💥 I was in the middle of brainstorming about stuff and then I thought: Kaveh and "Central do Brasil" inspired plot. Yeah, that's it. I'm accepting ideas related to this. So if you have one, please feel free to send an ask to me! <3
Tumblr media
Kaveh who ended up in Fontaine after mistaking the way to Mondstadt.
It had been Alhaitham's idea for him to take a (definitely not forced) break after days of frustration. But Kaveh got the wrong map and ended up arriving at the nation of hydro.
As Kaveh arrived in the city, he couldn't help but admire the architecture around him. The structures, shapes and colors... It was all just so different from Sumeru.
But he was nervous, he was afraid of bumping into a familiar face he hadn't seen in years. That would certainly be too much for his poor heart.
There, while sketching the scenery — he wouldn't miss the opportunity to— Kaveh ends up meeting a Fontainian child called [Name].
[Name]'s been living with their older siblings, who spend the day working ever since their mother passed. That led to [Name] being left alone to spend time selling flowers or whatever they could find. Not because their siblings demanded, but because [Name] wants to help them somehow.
When meeting Kaveh, they ask him to write a letter for their father and take it to Sumeru with him, where they believe he is.
Kaveh doesn't want to get attached to the child since, according to him, he's just making a stop in Fontaine and will soon go back on his way to Mondstadt.
The child keeps following him wherever he goes, showing him around the city. And to his surprise, Kaveh ends up actually enjoying the tour.
But well, said is easier than done. Kaveh soon gets attached and finally writes [Name] the letter they so much insist on.
When the time comes to say goodbye, Kaveh can't stop the sadness from growing on his chest as he sees [Name]'s tearful eyes.
And the end? I can only promise it's not gonna be that wholesome. <3

So I JUST got this idea after reading your mist recent adoptive dad!Kaveh piece and now it WILL NOT leave my mind. You emphasized on how his child's emotions are his emotions and how he's much more empathetic when it comes to them. So naturally, as a connoisseur of all things angst, I keep thinking how Kaveh will handle it when his child has their first heartbreak! Being so emotional himself will he be able to hold up or will he cry with them? and I wonder what the rest of them will do, there's just so many possibilities
how is [name]'s first heartbreak handled?
summary. how does [name]'s platonic co-parenting family respond to their first breakup?
trigger & content warnings. gaslighting, tough breakups, abusive behavior, lots of tears, & medical malpractice (briefly and pretty non-seriously).
tropes, pairings, fic length, & other notes. hurt/comfort. tighnari & reader, alhtiaham & reader, adoptive dad!kaveh & reader, cyno & reader, collei & reader. 1k words. they/them pronouns for reader. this post is an expansion of what if kaveh adopted a child?
author's thoughts. THIS IS SO TASTY THANK YOU FOR SENDING THIS.... ive never been in this situation before nor do i really understand what heartbreak feels like so i just kind of went with the flow. focused mostly on what [name]'s lil family would do and how they'd all react. anyway keep sending me your adoptive dad!kaveh thoughts guys i love this kind of interaction haha &lt;3
Tumblr media
tighnari is furious. alhaitham is level-headed and logical as usual, but not indifferent. kaveh cries with them. cyno is livid. collei is calm, comforting.
kaveh is very sensitive to his kid's mood; i have indeed emphasized this already. he knows when something is wrong. he senses the shift in their mood almost instantly. depending on where they are, he may or may not be the first to know.
do they return to gandharva ville after they break up with their first love (for the sake of angst, let's say it's because the ex-lover in question sought to abuse and take advantage of their selflessness, but [name] was not having it, and they were gaslit upon pointing it out and ended up being called needy)? if so, tighnari will know first.
archons forbid their ex ever show up at gandharva ville for any kind of treatment. tighnari will treat them, yes, but he will make it hell. he will make it worse before making it better. medical malpractice? no, that's not what it is, silly. he's not even a licensed doctor! how can he commit malpractice if he doesn't practice medicine in the first place?
...
tighnari can think all he wants about doing such a thing, but he really wouldn't. he couldn't do something like that. he'd have a guilty conscience forever if he did. however, that does not mean he won't give [name]'s ex attitude. oh archons, he has all the attitude in the world to spare for the asshole who hurt his nibling (a/n: that's the gn term for niece or nephew).
[name] is not needy. sensitive and clingy at times, perhaps, but needy? tighnari scoffs at the idea. they're self-sufficient, if anything. the simple truth is that [name] likes affection because they were spoiled with it when they were little. the fact that their first love gaslit them in such a disgusting way makes the forest watcher's blood boil.
"[name]..." he'd sigh, heart squeezing painfully in his chest as he held them against his chest, unable to do much of anything except listen to the way they sobbed. tighnari's tail instinctively curled around their waist. "it really is not your fault. some people are just... horrible like that. ultimately, you deserve better, so this is for the best. it may not feel that way right now, but one day, it will."
do they return to kaveh and alhaitham's shared home instead? is kaveh home? if not, then alhaitham will know first. it isn't improbable. kaveh is often away on work trips, so it isn't hard to imagine that the akademiya's scribe would know first.
alhaitham hates seeing kaveh cry. he wishes he would stop expending himself to a harmful extent for the sake of others.
he also hates seeing [name] cry. why should they spend time crying over a manipulative asshole who had no capacity to understand them as a person? they shouldn't, and yet... they are.
like tighnari, alhaitham sighs. he's stroking their hair away from their face with one hand, stopping every now and then to gently pat their tears dry, even though his efforts are fruitless; they end up crying more regardless of how many times he dries their face. their head is laid in his lap. it's the least the scribe can do until kaveh gets home.
"[name], they're not worth your time. you were raised to be kind and emotionally articulate. it isn't your fault that they tried to take advantage of that."
he sighs again.
"i'm proud that you refused to let them manipulate you."
alhaitham's blatant, clearly-worded praise is rare. it soothes their soul a little.
if kaveh is home, however...
they will be sobbing in his arms within the hour. he always knows when something is wrong, and when something is wrong? he's there to support and console them. that is what any good father would do. kaveh's heart shatters on their behalf when they manage to choke out between tears that their love had so callously tried to abuse the kindness they offered to all those around them.
kaveh undoubtedly cries with them, holding their figure tightly against his.
"honey, it—" he chokes, aggressively wiping his face with one hand while the other remains secured around their waist. "it's not you, okay? it's not your fault. people, they— they like to try and take advantage of things they don't have. kind people don't take advantage of kindness. good people don't take advantage of goodness. you did well. you handled it well."
cyno will always be the last to know, regardless of what order everyone else finds out in.
cyno is also the most furious.
it's probably in [name]'s ex's best interest to flee the country. the wrath of general mahamatra cyno is an utterly horrifying thing to be the target of. he won't physically hurt them, no (although he would have to put all of his self control into practice in order to not knock all of the kid's teeth out...), but he will make it very clear that he does not want them anywhere near his nibling ever again unless it's to apologize, and even then... he had better not see them lingering too long.
the next time he sees kaveh and his kid, cyno plants a firm hand on [name]'s shoulder, giving it a reassuring squeeze, saying, "they won't bother you again."
a slight chill runs up their spine at that. "...what did you do to them..?"
"don't worry about it."
anyway congrats to [name]'s manipulative ex! they have made enemies with four of the most influential people in sumeru <3
(and as a little bonus treat:
collei, now in her late teens, is some kind of mix between tighnari, alhaitham, and kaveh. she's not mad. she's just disappointed, really; she loves [name] like a little sibling and just doesn't understand why anyone would knowingly hurt them. she knows very well that such cruel people do exist—she was the victim of one such person, after all—but... it's so hard for her to fathom. collei is very gentle and understanding in this situation, letting them cry on her shoulder for as long as they need to. once their tears have dried, she takes them out on patrol with her.
she makes them fresh pita pockets over a fire and spends the afternoon laughing and joking around with them to help them feel better. she'll even tell one of cyno's awful jokes if it will make them smile. <3)
adoptive dad!kaveh taglist: @kaoyamamegami. send a non-anonymous ask to be added. please consider reblogging, it helps me out quite a lot!

Instead of going with your brain, you stick with your more artistic side. ♦ Alhaitham and Kaveh don't really mind the spontaneity you carry. As long you are not hurting yourself, they leave you be. ♦ They aren't overprotective, because they know you candle your own devices. Just know that they will have an eye out for you, even when you least expect it. You are their friend after all. ✧・゚: ✧・゚:✧・゚: ✧・゚:✧・゚: ✧・゚:✧・゚: ✧・゚:✧・゚: ✧・゚:✧・゚: ✧・゚:

♠ The whole point on why you moved to Sumeru City is because your parents got you a scholarship in the Ackedemyia. From a long line of scholars, you are expected to do the same. Alhaitham knows you could care less about the works; however, he finds himself keeping you on track with a special made schedule. Maybe it's because he doesn't want his reputation to suffer, or it may be that you aren't going to do it yourself. Either way, be grateful he keeps up with your busy mind. ♠ You have found that you like to crochet bookmarks for Alhaitham. He insists that he doesn't need them and that he can remember where he left off just fine on his own. Though he grumbles and complains, you can find your creations stuffed in his many books. Don't call him out though or he'll get ticked off. ♠ Surprisingly, Alhaitham loves to chat with you about books. He'll recommend series he thinks you'll enjoy or gossip about publishes' plots and characters.

♣ When he's home, Kaveh likes to indulge himself in whatever you do. Your painting? He'll be your model. You need help writing? He'll give you suggestions and tips. He'll even join you for yoga. Just be warned though, he will get very playful. ♣ When Kaveh argues with Alhaitham about furniture, he tries to get you to agree with him. It usually ends up with you and him ganging up on the poor Sage. Imagine Kaveh's surprise when the one time he complains about a lamp, he completely broke when you said you refurnished it yourself.

Author's Note: This is a bit short and I'm sorry Kaveh isn't as loved as Alhaitham. I'm soft for both of them though and needed to indulge myself. I hope you enjoyed regardless. 😭

A/n: Hi! This took me way too long to post even tho it was just sitting in my drafts. There are definitely spelling mistakes in here, please let me know how i can improve pls. Love u all <3
Tumblr media
- Um, this homework session may not be as wholesome as you thought. Did your dad have to help you with homework and when you didn’t get it he would get frustrated with you and then you’d start crying. Yeah, that’s how this is going to go.
- Alhaithem is a bright man and I can see him getting math concepts easily. But he’s terrible at explaining them and when someone doesn't get the concepts as easily as him he gets a bit frustrated and goes through 5 stages of grief:
1. Tone Change: He won’t yell at you but his tone will get deeper after the fifth or fourth time you got the question wrong.  
“Sigh, (Y/n) I don’t know why this is so hard for you.” Alhaithem said, sighing “The book even explains how to do it in the book.” 
“But what if I have two variables on both sides?” 
“Then you get rid of it.”
“So like this?” You said as you took the eraser and erased the x out of the question 12+x = 30+3x.
“NO, didn’t your teacher tell you how to get rid of variables?”
“Yeah but she was talking too fast and I got behind.” 
“I don’t understand what’s so hard about it even if the teacher was talking too fast you should be able to catch up easily.”
“...” 
2. Movement: He’ll sigh and lean back in his chair, hands over his eyes, and aggressive pointing or tapping.
Alhaithem had his head in his hands and his elbows on the table. The problem was so simple, how could you not get it? He could do these kinds of problems in under a minute when he was half your age. 
“Alhaithem,” He had been silence for about 10 minutes and all he was doing was leaning back in his chair and groaning. 
“Yes?” 
“I still need help with my homework.” 
“Well until you find what 12 x 8 is then I can’t help you.” Alhaithem said after aggressively tapping the equation. 
“You seem like you know so why don’t you just tell me?” 
“Because you need this experience,”
You decided that you weren’t going to get any kind of help out of him so you tried figuring it out on your own asking if a certain number was correct and each time he said no. 
“I-i Don-n’t know.” After the 12th try you broke down and started crying.
“(Y/n) don’t start crying now,”
3. Talking: Talking about how he doesn't wanna spend all day trying to help you with math and he doesn’t know why you're crying right now.
“...You know if you just listened to your teacher during the lecture you would be having this much trouble with math. When I was you age…” It was about 8:00 pm and Alhaithem was giving a you a lecture on how not hard math is and this is simple. “...and I don’t know why you're crying right now, I’m only trying to help you…” 
4. Kaveh: He asks Kaveh to help you because he needs to get work done.
After he finished with his lecture he said he couldn’t do this and he had work to do. He asked Kaveh to help you with your math problem. While he’s doing his scribe work he’s think of how much trouble Kaveh is going to have trying to explain the problem to you. He thinks that if he can’t help you none can.
5. What do you mean he’s better?: When he comes back out you will be done with your homework and surprised when you told him Kaveh explained it better.
“I don’t understand what you're being such a grump about. They got the concepts easily.” Kaveh said with Alhaithem wondering how Kaveh, a broke architect, could have explained it better than him, who has multiple degrees in math. 
“And you got this done in 10 minutes?” Alhaithem questioned.
“Yeah,”
Unconvinced that Kaveh didn’t just do the problems for you he marched towards the couch where you sat and stood in front of you and crossed his arms. “(Y/n), how do you get rid of the number in 2x?”
“You divide the 2 by the 2 and do that on the other side of the equation.” 
WHAT HOW COULD THIS BE?! HE EXPLAINED THIS TO YOU 34 TIMES (he counted) AND YOU NEVER GOT IT! 
“What do you do first in an equation? Multiple, divide, add, or subtract?” This was a trick question so there was no way you’d get it corr-
“You’re supposed to do the equation in the parentheses first but if there are no parentheses than multiply.” You said without looking up from your book.
Alhaithem was in shock, “I-I have work to do…”
-if you don’t have trouble with math then he won’t even try to help you
