presentable. (kaveh x reader)

summary: you help kaveh do his hair after he oversleeps.

tags: kaveh x gn!reader, just fluff!

You find him fast asleep at his architect's desk, neck craned at such an uncomfortable angle you wonder how long he had been awake before drifting off.

"Kaveh." You call, quietly, as not to startle him awake. When he doesn't stir, you creep closer, putting a hand on his shoulder and gently shaking him. "Kaveh, you have a meeting soon, you need to wake up."

When he wakes, he does so slowly, the middle of his sketch paper sticking to his cheek as he raises his head from the desk. He groans, blinking slowly against the light from the window, then tilts his head towards you.

Kaveh's face scrunches up when he does so, and it seems he notices two things at once. One, that his choice of nap location has smudged his precious work, and two that he now has a horrible pain in his neck. He groans once again and stands up, huffing.

"I can't believe I fell asleep like this!" He throws up his arms and starts rifling through his clothing chest. "I don't even remember being tired, it's like I finished the working drawings and then I passed out."

You look down at the top sheet and see what looks to be a floor plan, with lots of text in the margins and mathematic symbols you don't quite understand. It gives you a headache just looking at it.

"This is for the lighthouse renovations, right?"

"Right." He answers, shucking off his old shirt and putting a new one on. He shakes out his hair, and then turns to you. "Do you know what time it is? It's not past midday, is it?"

You figure you shouldn't mention how some of the graphite from his paper had imprinted on his cheek. "Ah, well, it's just a little past twelve."

Kaveh curses, striding angrily across the room into the bathroom, angrily muttering to himself. He curses again when he sees his reflection, and starts scrubbing at his face.

"I can do your hair, if you want." You offer, trying to keep him from catastrophizing further. Kaveh continues scrubbing until the pencil markings rub off onto his hands, then leans against the sink.

"...That would be nice." He says, quietly. "I'm already going to be late, might as well be presentable."

You laugh to yourself; you think that sleep-ruffled Kaveh was still more handsome than anyone else in Teyvat. You grab his wrist and tug him back to his architect desk so he could sit, and work on taking out the feathers, the hairpins, the braids in his hair.

Kaveh looks over his working drawings one last time, content to let you brush out his hair with your fingers. He tries not to shiver when you scratch lightly against his scalp.

"Do you want me to style it like you usually do?" You ask, starting to separate the strands for a braid.

Kaveh shrugs. "Whatever looks best. I trust you."

"So I can put it up?"

"Of course." Kaveh takes your hand and brings it up to his lips, kissing your knuckles softly. "Like I said, I trust you."

Your heart flutters at his honesty; you feel you might never get used to it. You braid the small section you had started on and gather his hair into a ponytail. His hair had gotten long since you last messed with it.

You tie it off with a hairband, and move around him to brush his bangs out of his eyes. His cheeks pink at the contact.

"Handsome, as always." You say, content, as you stick his feather behind his ear. "You ready to go now?"

"I've decided that I need to change one little thing." He leans back in his chair, tilting his head back to look at you. Kaveh winces as it pulls the strain from earlier.

"Kaveh, you're already late." You playfully chide.

"I know, I know." He leans forward, grabbing a pencil and tapping it to his lips. "But I'm telling you this is going to be worth the extra minutes. If my employer is passionate about this project, they'll understand."

You sigh. You know in your heart that his employer would most likely not understand, but you couldn't tell him that. You can't help but admire his never-ending optimism for hoping that one day, he'd meet an employer who cared for the art of architecture as much as he did.

"I'll come and drag you out in fifteen, then, alright?"

Kaveh is already so engrossed in his work that you're sure he doesn't hear you. You shake your head, laughing, placing a quick kiss to his hair before leaving him to his work.

You said fifteen, but you'd give him twenty. Art can't be rushed but sometimes it needs to be nudged gently towards the finish line.

(Diluc ships) Reaction to Diluc wearing glasses.

So let's start with the really funny one.

Albedo

Albedo would instantly give Diluc an eye exam. He could be so fascinated. And play around taking Diluc's glass on and off and testing his vision, and just trying to figure out how it's possible Diluc looks really good with the glasses.

So he's just silently running all these tests on Diluc. And Diluc is just sitting there lightly sighing. Figuring that his work could wait while he let Albedo play with his glasses.

Al Haitham

This is sort of another case of Diluc getting tested. Because Al Haitham is mostly wondering why Diluc doesn't just carry them around.

"Well, I just don't feel the need."

"But isn't it harder without them?"

"Not all the time. I only really need them when my head starts to hurt. And wearing my glasses tends to draw attention."

"Mmm, Yes. You are naturally quite attractive, and the glasses just bring more attention to that." A moment to think. "Maybe it is better that you not were them out."

"What?"

Ayato

Now we are out of the fucking nerds. We are into the horny boys. Ayato already loves Diluc's eye. He really likes the color. He likes the shape. He likes how Diluc's eyes are so wide and innocent but still piercing and seem to know everything.

So he loves that glasses. How they bring attention to Diluc's eyes. So he is defiantly all over Diluc and the glasses. Very very affectionate and very, very complimentary.

It flusters the shit out of Diluc. And he's already not really equipped to handle Ayato's flirting, and this would just be 10 times worse.

Childe

Childe is much like Ayato and loves Diluc's eyes and loves how the glasses bring attention to it. But he's not quite as flirty and defiantly more a man of action. So he's touching and brushing Diluc's hair out of his face lightly touching the frames.

And he was honestly probably takes them from Diluc at one point and wears them.

"How do I look?"

"I don't know I can't see."

"..."

Eula

Instantly starts plotting her revenge because how dare he look hotter! Looking like a fucking nerd!

Her first plan. Is to wear glasses herself. It is... Not effective. Diluc barely notices them at first. But she quickly remembers that Diluc is not affected by such normal and boring tactics for his attention. You have to be more... forward to getting Diluc's attention.

So are circling back to what I truly love about Euluc and that kabedon. Because it's also Eula pinning Diluc. And it is so super effective against Diluc. Just something about Eula, in particular doing just hits Diluc right in the heart. And with the glasses.

"Seems you have missed something very important, Master Diluc."

"Ah, Captain Eula. The glasses! They look very good."

Itto

Now you know how Childe took Diluc's glass. Yeah, Itto does that and wears them do and does that really annoying thing people tend to do where people go on and on about

"Oh wow, you are so blind! How do you deal?"

That would be Itto, and He's not mean-spirited about it at all. He's just stupid. I can see Diluc getting frustrated and Honestly. diluc's the kind of guy who only has one pair, and he needs them back. So he's probably reaching for them, but Itto's keeping them outta reach, and just like

"I'll give them just give me a moment!"

"Itto!"

There is just a moment when Diluc and Itto's faces are really close together, and Itto, being Itto, tends to forget how handsome Diluc it, and it's just one of those moments where it hits him.

So Diluc gets his glasses back, and Itto is trying to play it cool and not act as flustered as he is while also trying to get himself outta the dog house he put himself into.

Kaveh

Kaveh is honestly the biggest appreciator of Diluc's looks. And when Diluc tells him he wears glasses, he's not convinced that they would suit Diluc.

He is proved instantly wrong the first time he actually sees Diluc wearing them. Kaveh also has a tendency to ramble when he's interested and analyzing something.

So that's how Diluc got trapped in a 30-minute lecture about how well glasses suit him his facial structure, and about all these different frames that Kaveh now wants to see him in.

Thoma

Now unlike the other's Thoma's affection is a lot quieter and more through acts of service. So seeing Diluc with his glasses hard at work, he instantly goes to make Diluc some tea and get him a nice snack. The whole time he's just thinking about how absolutely adorable Diluc looks.

And even when he comes back to get Diluc to take a break and they just start lightly chatting it's all Thoma's thinking about while just softly smiling.

So Diluc is talking about something, and Thoma just has such an affectionate smile watching Diluc talk and over and over in his head. "He is so cute."

Xiao

Xiao is not someone who is very familiar with human medicine and customs. So he hasn't really ever seen someone wearing glasses before, so he's got a few questions.

"You can't see without them?"

"I struggle at times. It depends on the situation."

"What about combat? Do you need them then? If they break, could you be hurt?"

"I don't really need them in a fight. And I suppose they could, but I can't see that happening. Because I never wear them."

"But you could need them?"

"I suppose."

"Wear them. I'll protect you."

Zhongli

Zhongli is much like Thoma, where he sits in silent appreciation. Just quietly admiring Diluc for a bit before

"Do you have a chain for your glasses?"

"Huh. Oh no. I haven't really thought about that."

Next day? Zhongli present Diluc with a pure gold chain for his glasses.

"Zhongli? How much did this cost? Actually more important where did you get the mora?"

Kavetham anon again!!!!

Omg chronic illness Kaveh 👀

Would you mind sharing every single headcanon so I can read them in bed at 3am and sob 😭😭😭😭

So sorry this took so long anon, I didn’t forget I’ve just been swamped irl. But here they are:

HaiKaveh/Kavetham hc general and sickfic etc

•So between the two I figured that Kaveh’s hands would feel a bit rougher because of how much hands-on work he does as an architect. Also probably has more scars on his body than Alhaitham because of work accidents be that at the build site or from working with his actual drawing/sculpting tools. That actually doesn’t stop him from like taking care of his skin though. Like Kaveh is definitely the one who owns like 15 different types of skin care lotions etc 😂😭

•Alhaitham’s hands I figured while he would have callouses on his fingers they’re mostly from either his sword fighting/training and how much writing he does from his job as a scribe. So just like light callouses.

• I also hc that while Alhaitham is probably stronger than Kaveh the other is no slouch either, like he won’t be fighting against Cyno anytime soon but I figure he can at least lift his claymore by hand and Alhaitham if he truly wants to, he’d definitely mumble curses under his breath depending on the reason surrounding the latter too🤭

•Another one for Alhaitham is I swing between the hc that he’s deaf/hard of hearing or that his hearing is really sensitive. Another reason for wearing his headphones in crowded places.

•A hc I have for Kaveh is that he was probably bullied a lot as a kid, because I also hc as chronically ill and kinda susceptible to getting sick easier (sick Victorian maiden Kaveh😂😭) I also hc that he may have grown up in the desert as a kid to some extent (watch this be wrong when he releases) so he probably struggled a bit more than the average person.

————

Now for the more sickfic type hc

Alhaitham first:

General illness stuff

•out of the two of them Alhaitham takes better care of himself and usually realizes when he’s gonna get sick. So he’d definitely take time off to try to rest etc at a moment's notice.

•Kaveh would definitely know Alhaitham is sick or at least that something is off from the sheer fact that Alhaitham would seem like he struggling to process anything Kaveh is saying. So he’d just ask Alhaitham what’s wrong & why he’s home early.

•Alhaitham would probably just shake his head and mumble that he’s sick before walking to his room because he’d just want to sleep and lay down.

•may try to read a bit while he waits for himself to fall asleep. But eventually realizes he can’t process what he’s reading and stop.

•Kaveh would definitely do his best to make as little noise as possible when Alhaitham’s sick, because he knows that Alhaitham can be more sensitive to noise when he’s not feeling well.

•may even gently knock on Alhaitham’s door and come in his room to ask him if he wants anything like water or something to eat. Would bring him something if he asks for it.

•unsurprisingly while Alhaitham would do his best to stay in bed and rest etc he also would probably get out of bed because he wants to read something but with his books being everywhere he’d need to go looking for the one he wants, would be dizzy and nauseous just from getting up without a doubt.

•Kaveh would know he’s going to try to do this because it’s not the first time he’s taken care of Alhaitham when sick, plus he knows how Alhaitham is. Would have to kinda guide/make him get back in bed and tell him to stay there while he gets the book and to not get up.

•for some reason I feel like Kaveh gives off a mother hen-type energy when Alhaitham is sick. He doesn’t like crowd him or bug him without reason but does check in on him often, mostly just checking his temperature and bringing him things he needs. I figured Kaveh would know how to take care of someone really well considering he’s so used to getting sick.

•I also feel like Alhaitham probably loves having his hair being stroked while trying to get to sleep when he’s sick. And between the two of them he probably is the one that gets clingy when sick as well, so if like Kaveh lays down beside him to keep him company Alhaitham pretty much wraps his arms around him and just clings to him. Soooo cute

Speaking of temperature taking:

•for that I like the image of Kaveh having to stand on his tip toes a bit and reach out to pull Alhaitham down a bit to press their forehead’s together. All while Alhaitham is wondering what he’s doing, since Kaveh just grabbed him without saying anything.

And Kaveh just telling Alhaitham he feels warm. It’s really cute and makes me giggle 😭

But I also just like the thought of like Kaveh placing his hand on Alhaitham’s forehead.

•Alhaitham’s fever rarely gets really horrible ie need to go to the hospital now type horrible. Alhaitham has probably had fevers like that probably a handful of times in his life. Although the first time Kaveh seen him with a fever that high, definitely scared him/worried him.

Mainly because Alhaitham was delirious and occasionally whimpering for his grandma, and could barely recognize Kaveh. So cute😭

Now for emeto headcanons for Alhaitham when sick:

•Usually his nausea would be going on for a while. But more just lurking in the background while he’s trying to read or lay down.

•he seems like the type to try and make sure he has a trash can by the bed or makes it to the bathroom about 98 percent of the time because clean up would be a bitch.

•I do figure that his stomach gets pretty bloated when he’s nauseous. (The thought of this and that fucking sheer top he’s wearing rots my brain🤤)

•For Alhaitham it’s probably hard for someone else to tell if he’s literally seconds away from being sick, because he’s always quiet however he may burp occasionally right before he pukes/his nausea is really really bad. Otherwise, he’ll just sit there seemingly as quiet as usual, just staring at the floor or whatever is in front of him, so he just looks like he’s thinking about something.

If he’s already sick it would be even harder to tell because he’d already be pale. However, depending on how sick he feels or how bad the nausea is, he may have a slight grimace on his face. It is hard to tell when he’s in distress most of the time. (Love him😭❤️)

•if he’s in bed and Kaveh is talking to him, and there’s no like trash can nearby he would definitely interrupt Kaveh to tell him to bring him one. Has also startled Kaveh by suddenly scrambling out of bed to rush to the bathroom when he knows opening his mouth and trying to talk will make him puke instantly and he usually makes it to the bathroom.

•those very rare times where he hasn’t been able to make it to the bathroom or the trashcan isn’t nearby, he will do everything he can to avoid puking on the blankets or carpet. Although he has puked on the hardwood floor or just leaned over the bed with his hands cupped beneath his mouth.

•Cue Kaveh panicking but also asking Alhaitham why he didn’t say anything. Which is usually what Kaveh says when Alhaitham is sick enough to puke.

•I feel like Alhaitham sounds like he’s in pain while puking, his retching is harsh and violent, he’s coughing and sounding like he’s trying not to choke, can barely catch his breath in between waves. Tears in his eyes. He is a gross mess. (Kaveh would be internally trying not to cringe)

•would definitely be sitting there afterwards with his eyes closed, dizzy and drained trying to get his barings doesn’t even try wiping his mouth yet. Kaveh would be gently rubbing his back and Alhaitham leaning into his touch. Having to get Alhaitham a wet wash cloth and help him lay down why he cleans things up.

•if Alhaitham did make it to the bathroom though Kaveh would need to try to coax him back to bed, especially if he still feels nauseous because Alhaitham wouldn’t want to risk moving.

——

Kaveh’s turn😂 :

General illness stuff

•Kaveh gets sick a lot, it’s a combination of his immune system already being trash and the fact that unlike Alhaitham he’s prone to overworking himself and stressing. So skipping meals and sleep while too engrossed in his work. Although if Alhaitham notices that he looks like he’s wearing himself too thin would encourage Kaveh to eat by bringing him something maybe sleep. Kaveh probably would eat what Alhaitham gives him but probably doesn’t get some sleep like he should.

•Between the two of them Kaveh is definitely the one who is prone to hiding the fact that he’s sick whether on purpose or by accident. If it’s on purpose it’s because he knows that Alhaitham will practically force him to rest; he will keep the fact that he’s sick under wraps.

•This normally goes one of three routes, either Kaveh collapses or winds up throwing up which lets Alhaitham know he’s sick and woke up sick. Alhaitham notices that Kaveh has been acting strange or looking off. Or Kaveh does rest but Alhaitham finds him laying on the couch or in bed or even sitting at the kitchen table with a fairly bad fever.

•If Alhaitham finds out he’s sick before Kaveh collapses or something it’s 9.5 times out of 10 because Kaveh is strangely quiet . And he would know that if Kaveh is quiet something is wrong.

•I figured Alhaitham would just reach out and feel Kaveh’s forehead if the other is closer enough to him. While Kaveh is just kinda surprised and confused at why Alhaitham is suddenly touching him.

•definitely makes Kaveh lay down and rest without a doubt, would probably even carry him to bed (Alhaitham’s own more than likely 🤭) .

•Kaveh would definitely be confused and annoyed too and may even tiredly put up a fight especially if he has a deadline he needs to complete. But Alhaitham would encourage him ie force him to lay down and rest.

•All while this is going on Alhaitham would definitely be worried and show it in his own way.

•I can definitely see him basically taking a few days off from work, getting Kaveh whatever he may need, even sitting by Kaveh’s bedside and reading or trying to get his fever down the best he can.

•Although I figured he’d be used to Kaveh getting sick, that doesn’t make him any less worried.

•Between the two of them while I hc Alhaitham getting nightmares usually when he has a fever that doesn’t mean that Kaveh doesn’t get them as well.

And Alhaitham would definitely stroke his hair, and hold his hand while stroking the back of his hand with his thumb. May even climb into bed with Kaveh to calm him down which typically results in Kaveh snuggling up to him and holding him.

•Alhaitham has definitely seen Kaveh with high/really bad fevers and it terrifies him each time.

poor Nari getting woken up in the middle of the night because the Alhaitham needs him to tend to Kaveh🤭😌

•I can also imagine that there has definitely been one or three times both when they were in the Akademiya together and when they lived together later in life that Alhaitham in his panic has brought Kaveh to the shower/bath tub in a desperate attempt to get his fever down which is just the absolute cutest 😭😌

•if Kaveh’s fever isn’t bad enough where he spends most of the time in like a hazy delirium though, he would be complaining and whining most of the time for sure.

•if Kaveh thinks he can get away with it will definitely try getting up to work on his project when he thinks Alhaitham has left him alone to cook dinner or something.

Usually gets caught though💀😂

Now for emeto Kaveh hc:

•when it comes to nausea for example Kaveh isn’t good at hiding it at all although he attempts to out of embarrassment. He is very aware of his self image and how people view him after all and worries about it often.

•definitely gets fidgety when he’s queasy and nauseous, usually things like bouncing his leg slightly etc.

•Kaveh is a messy puker, has definitely puked a lot from being sick or drunk. If he’s aware enough he does his best to make it to the trash can, sink, bathroom what have you but it rarely works.

Due to the fact that he he’s been fighting it for so long it’ll usually be pretty violent when he finally does puke, so coughing, spluttering, nearly choking when it sprays from his mouth and nose.

•has definitely puked in his sleep and it’s gotten in his hair, has also puked on the carpet and Alhaitham as well by accident when the other was helping him.

•Kaveh definitely seems like the type to hiccup a lot when he feels nauseous and he’s puking. It’s gotten to the point where if Alhaitham hears him hiccuping and Kaveh is sick/drunk and clearly looking pale he’ll grab the trash can or a bag or something because he just knows what’s gonna happen. May even try to get Kaveh to go to the bathroom.

In the last case he’s definitely made the mistake of just picking Kaveh up quickly to help him get to the bathroom only for it to be too much and Kaveh winds up puking on him.

•I feel like Kaveh also gets tears in his eyes and whines/whimpers when the nausea is really horrible as well. So he’ll just be laying in bed, on the couch or even slumped against Alhaitham with his face buried in his shoulder while the other strokes his hair.

•Kaveh is definitely a loud puker as well primarily due to the fact that he tries to force himself to be quite but when he does puke everything is kinda uncontrollable. A lot of harsh gagging since he pretty much loses control of his gag reflex when the nauseous reaches its peak.

Harsh retching and violent waves/spraying. Like it just goes everywhere and usually makes a huge mess since again he did everything he could to hold it back.

•afterwards Kaveh would just kinda be slumped there weakly gagging in front of the puddle of vomit or trying his best to get an apology out if he puked somewhere he shouldn’t have. So most of the time🤭😭

•he wouldn’t decline if someone rubbed his back for him or held his hair. Either definitely love’s comfort when sick😌

•definitely carries ponytail holders on him normally just for tying his hair back while working and stuff. Alhaitham would probably carry one or two on him for Kaveh in case one breaks, which can come in handy for this as well.(I do love the image of him having to hold his own hair back or Alhaitham holding it for him , too though 👀😌)

———————-

Some fun random hc

•we don’t know wtf that gem on Alhaitham’s chest is and will probably never get an explanation. But occasionally I hc that he gets energy through it via sunlight just because it’s cute and funny to me.

•Main hc I have about it though is that it reacts more like Albedo’s birthmark but also glows/can pulse in time with Alhaitham’s heart beat, it’s more common when he’s sick. But Kaveh does gently stroke the gem because he knows it helps Alhaitham calm down when he needs it.

•when drunk I feel like Kaveh has a habit of gently pinching Alhaitham’s cheeks because they’re soft and he still has a baby face to an extent which is just adorable😭

•also this hc is a self indulgent but I definitely hc Alhaitham as an Emetophile specifically for Kaveh. Like Alhaitham probably kinda realized that he’s into Kaveh puking specifically because of how much he drinks and the number of times he’s had to hold his hair for him while he’s throwing up in the bushes or something.

But he especially loves the moment afterwards as well, whenever Kaveh’s eyes flutter tears clinging to his lashes, Alhaitham having to steady him while Kaveh slowly wipes his lips with the back of his hand trying to get rid of the threads of bile and drool while looking completely out of it and dazed, feeling Alhaitham’s eyes on him but too drunk and nauseous to say anything. (I love this hc so much it makes me feral, may write another fic for it soon🤤🤤🤤)

But yeah this is most/all of the hc for now anon😭 again sorry it took so long😭🫶

Interrupting whatever the architect is doing has become normal to him, however this time, it was important. Necessary? Not really, he could wait, but the scholar is unable to hold back as soon as he sees the golden locks tied up in a bun, a perfect moment also, to give him something he has been waiting to deliver, which he is carrying in his hand. Fingertips reaching the sides of his hips, pulling him towards his body, nose burying in the space, breathing his scent before tightening his hold with the box still being held. Alhaitham lets him go, only to open the box and reveal a gold necklace, flashy, big accesories that complement his hair and his facial structures. No words are spoken, instead, he puts the jewelry around his neck and locks it perfectly, pressing a soft kiss to his jaw. "It's handmade." He mentions, knuckles caressing the tender skin, only for index and thumb to squish softly his cheeks and make the blonde's lips to pucker up. "It suits you." No special occasion, just him paying attention to old conversations.

This design was coming out marvelously.

Except, Kaveh felt like the building was far too plain. He understood the client wanted it to be relatively quiet, with thick walls to block out sounds from the surroundings, minimum sunlight but plenty of ventilation as they worked with ink, three rooms, a living space, a small kitchen, and the list goes on. He had the interior design down, but the exterior was coming out rather bleak, which had him trying to it figure out for the past few hours.

Maybe this was the third sketch, or maybe it was the fourth? He's unsure as to how long he's been turning his head side to side, standing back, and then coming in to draw in lines, pushing aside the plethora of scribbled numbers for calculations littered around his feet in the form of yellow papers with his heel. Kaveh is sure he was just not inspired enough today, but he didn't feel like going out and the thought of leaving a project so close to done unfinished was bothering him, so he stands there, grumbling to himself with a deep frown and poking at his messy bun with his rapidly shortening pencil.

Which is why he's easily surprised when he feels a firm touch on his waist, a yelp coming from his lips, bare neck tickled by a familiar nose rubbing against his skin, sending tingles through his spine and his hair stand. "Alhaitham, I'm in the middle of work." He doesn't even have the energy to muster up a louder complaint, leaning into the touch instead as he feels exhaustion take over. He's sick of looking at these numbers, he realizes, and shifts his attention to the warmth of being held, relaxing his tight shoulders. "Hey, too tight!" He chides, squirming a bit when he tightens his hold, but he relents and tilts his head onto the man's shoulder, leaning on him till he had enough.

He spots the box and is still confused when Alhaitham pulls away to open it up, showing a beautiful necklace resting inside.

A brow is raised in question. "Did you finally decide to listen to my fashion advice and put on accessories of your own?" As happy as he was that the man came to show him, this piece wouldn't suit him as much as it was Kaveh's style. "Haiyi," he starts, then shuts up when the cool gold rests on in collar, a blush rising to his cheeks when the man's face comes too close, frozen in place as it clicks in his head, hearing his heart leap so high he swore he could feel it the gold resonate with it, vibrating on his skin. Slowly, Kaveh reached up to play with the accessory, noting that the design was definitely meant to be for him, considering it aligned perfectly with the style he vaguely remembers mentioning. Seeing it being presented to him like this has him taking a sharp breath.

"I don't think I forgot any important events."

Kaveh can't help but feel a little confused whilst being elated for getting a gift from his lover, fingers constantly playing with the necklace to check if it is still there. It's real, it's gorgeous, and it was for him. It takes the pinch of his soft cheeks for him to let out a disgruntled sound, finally snapping out of his daze with a step away and a mild glare. "You don't compliment someone while pinching their face like that! You're just teasing and laughing at me by making me look funny. There's no way I look good when you're making me look like a fish." He complains, looking up at the man and trying to guess the occasion. It was not either of their birthdays, it wasn't any special day in Sumeru, but there's no way he just gave a handmade necklace out of nowhere, right? Then again...

Crimson eyes flicker towards his messy work desk, a smaller box sitting innocently behind some of his scattered tools and his eyes come back straight to teal, smiling softly. Guess he was a living example refuting his claim. A gift for him... oh, Archons, he's so happy. He wants to give his own craft too, but it would be rude to return a gift with a gift, no matter how competitive he felt about not being able to give his gift first.

There's always next time.

"Thank you, Haiyi. I'll treasure it." He tries to play cool, but he is too obvious in the way his hands can't stay still, curling the loose baby hairs behind his ear and licking his lips to stop his smile from spreading. "I'm surprised you remembered what I told you. Even I forgot about it." Since he really had said it offhandedly out of nowhere while the topic of their conversation switched again and again. "Who made it though?" He pinches the rather large charm in between his fingers so he can pull it up, unable to stop looking. "It's lovely." He tilts his head, then gives a toothy grin before continuing, "If this happened to be a gift to ask for my forgiveness for something I don't know about yet, I might actually be convinced." The blond jokes, totally valid because it's all Alhaitham's fault for not using more words to properly explain himself and what this was for, grinning wider as he finally lets go of the necklace, leaning up to give a peck on his lips before he pulls away to stretch out his limbs. If there were a few worryingly loud cracks, he's sure Alhaitham has heard enough of it while living together, neither of them should be phased.

"I need a break from work anyway! I think I'll go to my closet to find a few outfits that match the necklace. So, Haiyi..." He flutters his lashes as he peers up, knowing exactly what that did to his lover, a sweet smile on his lips as he leans right on him. "Want a show?"
