Quest mindlessly hums as he's supposed to be teaching you how to play guitar. He has you placed in between his legs, snuggled up nicely to his chest. You can feel his thighs rubbing against your hips, and you almost think you're dreaming.
His guitar strap is wrapped around your neck and his arms are over yours, mocking the movements yours are making. You can see his hands so clearly, so vividly. They're almost like a painting, his tattoo, bones, and veins sticking out perfectly, like a picture perfect memory.
He keeps whispering in your ear. Try this cord. You're doing so well. Now, place your index finger on this one. A little flatter. Bend your fingers more. Stay focused, angel. But how can you focus?
How can you focus when you can feel his lips against your ear? How can you focus when you can still feel his piercing gaze, burning through your skin? How can you focus when his chuckle is so light and airy, like something you would hear in your darkest fantasies? How can you focus when his body around you tightens, and brings you closer?
How can you focus with him around?
You feel the vibrations from his chest against his back, and you’re trying so desperately to block out all noise other than his instructions. You're trying not to listen to his husky whispers and his chuckles that make your heart flutter.
Quest’s rough pads of his thumb and index finger find their way to your chin, eyes looking down upon you with mischievous and teasing eyes. “My, we’re getting quite distracted there, aren't we?”
“Not- not at all, Quest. I’m focused. just like you asked me to.” You cleared your throat and forced your hesitant fingers to focus back on the cords you were playing, remembering his previous instructions.
“So obedient,” He chuckles once more, a deep noise resounding from the depths of his chest, eyes swirling with danger and scrunched up like he’s having the time of his life. 
(He probably is.)
“You seem rather nervous though.” His grip on you tightens and faux sympathy on his face completely disappeared, replaced with a cruel smirk. His thumb rubs on the corner of your bottom lip and he leans in closer, teasing you. "Do I make you nervous, angel?”
Your breath stopped completely, and your heart was beating so loudly you were sure he could hear you. Your eyes tore away from his sight and paid close attention to his lips, slightly dry and still pulled into a grin that only the devil would wear.
“You’re awfully desperate today, aren’t you?” His warm breath fans over your lips, spearmint and strawberries being your only source of air at the moment. He outright laughs at the way you shrink away from him and bite your cheek in embarrassment. 
His hand lets go of you chin, wrapping around the back of your head and pulling you closer. “That’s alright, though. You look absolutely stunning like this, wrapped around my finger.”

night shift | quest x reader
25 one-shots of christmas: part 1 author is taking a gamble and starting this at 7 pm whist,le watching 911 lone star let's see if she can finish before 12
characters/content: quest, gender neutral reader, reader works in an office, heated themes but no nsfw, reader works overtime, quest is an old man who uses emoticons
Tumblr media
"See you later, Y/N!" your boss called, giving you a wave as he walked out, you forcing a smile that immediately dropped as soon as he left your eyeline. You let out a huff through your nose, your hands going back to clacking at your computer, trying to focus on your work and not what was supposed to be your first evening off in a while. "It's more money for you, Y/N," you thought. 'It'll be good to have for Christmas.'
You let out another breath, looking at your screen as you paused, processing your work thus far. You also thought about how your boss wasn't a bad man, but rather just very inconvenient at times. He had asked you to stay back and finish the report, you being one of the fastest workers on your team. He insisted he would've stayed and finished, but his wife finally had a free night for the first time in a while, being a first responder and all. Even though you were annoyed about using your time off, your guilty conscious would've been too much knowing you had refused a couple who didn't have much time together as it. Curse you and your decent upbringing.
As you went mindlessly about your work, your phone dinged a couple times, drawing your attention away from your work. You looked at your notifications, a small smile instantly adorning your features as you moved your work aside for the moment. It was Quest, doing what seemed to be your nightly check-ins after long periods of server silence.
Quest: hey! been a while since you were last on. you okay, angel?
Y/N: i'm okay, just doing some overtime. christmas money crunch, y'know?
Quest: yeah, i get that, overtime sucks :( but capitalism is the bane of us all, isn't it? anyway, how much longer do you think you'll be?
Y/N: a little while, i think i have to rewrite some of these drafts :/
Quest: i see... well, i'll see you in a bit, then. love you, angel <3
Y/N: love you too, honey <3
You placed your phone down to the side, cracking your knuckles and getting back to work on your reports. The way Quest said he'd see you in a bit bothered you a bit, but you paid little mind to it. You wanted to get done, get money, and get home.
A while later, the sound of your rapidly moving fingers was interrupted by a knocking on the wall, causing your head to shoot up and peer over your cubicle. You were supposed to be the only one here tonight, right? You silently prayed it was just one of the security guards that had come up to check on you. Although, the voice that came proved to be something much better.
"Angel, you in here?" Quest called, pulling his coat hood down, looking around the office, before his eyes settled on you. You immediately got up from your desk, going over to wrap your arms around his large frame, squeezing him tight. Even with the large coat, he still seemed to be freezing.
"Quest, what are you doing here?" you asked, pulling back to look at him, tilting your head as he placed a hand on the back of his neck. "A guard let me in. I guess dropping by on all our shared lunch breaks gave me an identity here, huh?" he chuckled, his arms going down to the small of your back, looking at you lovingly.
"I missed you, angel," he said, lifting you and pulling you into a kiss, your legs wrapping around his waist as he walked back over to your cubicle, pushing your papers to the side and setting you down, his hands running along your sides as you reached up to his neck, wrapping your arms around it. Pulling away for air, he went to leave soft kisses on your cheek, along your jawline, and down your neck.
"I missed you so much..." he mumbled, letting a word out through each kiss. He pulled your body flush to his own, soft hums being pulled out of your throat with each kiss and squeeze of your waist.
"Mmm... Quest?"
"Hm?"
"My reports?"
"...Right, sorry," he said, pulling back with a cough, you rubbing his cheek lovingly as you sat down at your desk. You immediately went back to churning out reports, a newfound incentive to finish your work.
"I can help you with that, Y/N."
"Oh, ever such a help, my hero~ But what about the server?"
"Ah, they'll behave. Besides..." he began, leaning down to your ear, nibbling on it gently. "Parents deserve a night to themselves sometimes, no?" he asked, only to be met with your hand pushing his face away.
"After work, Quest."
"Right, sorry. Well, then maybe instead of that..."
He pulled his phone out, tapping on the screen a few times before starting to play a playlist full of Christmas music. You gave a small snort at his antics, watching as he stole a swivel chair to sit next to you. "You're ridiculous," you laughed, watching him start peering at your documents.
"Yeah, but I'm also a hero, right? C'mon, you know you don't wanna be here for too long either, right? Let's get this done so we can go home."
You nodded along with him, starting to get to work almost twice as fast with an extra pair of hands helping you out, talking to him about a variety of things as you worked, occasionally stopping to sing a small duet from the music playing. The two of you kept working through the night, and soon after you were no longer upset about having to give up your sudden night shift. Quest made sure you forgot all about the whole thing later that night anyway.

neuvillette is so cute. a simple man with small but many interests, really. he’ll give you gifts that remind him of you, even hand made ones. he’ll be all aloof until you mention how much you like it. his pretty eyes widen, voice just a bit higher with a “really?” and it’s the most adorable expression you’ve ever seen from him. just grace him with a smile, “really.” and his day will include thousand of thoughts of you, replaying that scene and already thinking of the next way to make you smile <3

Quest likes to think he met you where the soul had met the bone, where your smiles and touches made his heart ache. His arms envelop you, calloused finger tips drawing sleepy circles into your waist. He sits and breathes you in, breathes you out.
Compared to him, you're little in his arms, really. You lay there with your head resting on one arm, and connecting little freckles of his like you're creating constellations with the other. The two of you just sit in serenity, not wanting to break the silence and tenderness that floats in the air quite yet. Part of you doesn't want to leave because, well you're comfortable, but if you'd turn around you would meet his pretty blue eyes that are like an ocean that threatened to swallow you whole. Or, willingly, you’d drown. And you weren't so sure if you’d want to be saved. 
Quest dips down to kiss the nape of your neck, relishing in the soft chuckles you make as you tighten your grip on his forearm. He doesn't budge a bit, and decides to bite softly as to not hurt you but to raise a few gasps out of you. His smirk grows when you glare playfully at him over your shoulder, and you can practically feel your faux melting at the sight of his face. 
You're drowning.
And you really, really don't want to be saved.
He presses a firm kiss on your jaw, waking you up further. As you sit up, he inches his one arm to your face again to bring you closer to him. He places gentle kisses on your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, the corner of your mouth, wherever he can reach. He hums against your skin, "Good morning."
Quest's lips find your neck once more, becoming more firm as they travel down to your collarbones. You gently run your hands through his hair, bringing him out of his sleep driven trance. "G'morning. It's way too early for this."
You yawn almost instantly after saying that making Quest's smile grow wider. Sarcasm drips from his voice as he kisses your cheek again, and again, and again. "Oh wow, I'm hurt," he gives you a playful pout to counter your rolling eyes. "Really, I just wanted to show you how much I adore my angel. Is that so wrong?"
He brings a hand of yours up to his lips and matches his smile with your own. Neither of you mention how his voice dipped a bit when he called you yours. Neither of you minded it. If it were up to you, you'd adore it all the more if he'd just call you that forevermore. Hearing him say "angel" was like he reinvented the word and gave it a new meaning, like it was his initial around your neck. As much as it was yours, it was his. Forget your name, you just wanted him.
You met his eyes again – sinking and drowning and dying – and you give him a little kiss on his lips. Then another one. Then you two are one. Like a set of gloves, you just go together, you're meant to be.
You pull away with a whine, doe eyes looking into ones of a Greek God. "I have to get ready for work."
"No you don't. Just call in sick."
You squint at him but there's no malice behind your stare. A smile refuses to leave your bruised lips. "I've done that one too many times for you, they're gonna start getting suspicious."
"Then fake it. Pretend you have a sore throat. Just stay with me a little while longer." Another kiss is pressed to your knuckles and you're dead. You've drowned in him completely. And you're totally okay with that.
"How can I just pretend to have a sore throat?"
A toothy smile graces his features, painted with mischief and cheekiness, sculpted from the finest hands. "I know a way or two."
Quest laughs when you slap his chest and he laughs a little harder when he hears your laughter, too.
He means it when he calls you angel. He hears God themselves whispering behind your voice like background vocals in a song when you speak and he sees the gates of Heaven when you smile. In the so called ugliness of your tears he sees himself and that itself makes him yearn for you all the more. He pulls you closer to his chest, his heart in sync with yours. 
He knows he isn't a good person, but if he gets to stay here with you for just a second longer then he knows he did one thing right. You had become his home, a sacred oasis. If he was told he would die tomorrow, he'd be more than fine spending the time atoning for his sins in your arms.
Quest kisses your neck again. His lips travel, traced with electricity. He finds your  pulse point and lingers, kissing it softly. He attempts to kiss once more, but it's more smile than pursed lips when he hears your laughter again.
The ocean is not a home for angels. It's inhospitable, dark and unforgiving. But as long as you swear yourself to the tides and mutter its praises, it will hold onto you.

post fair headaches | bloomic x reader
Tumblr media
just got back from the fair with my s/o and my head is splitting so I thought why not write something while I’m tired?
content/characters: nightowl, quest, xyx, nakedtoaster, gender neutral reader, xyx is a little shit, toasty is tired, some product placement/advertising
Tumblr media Tumblr media
nightowl:
just as fucked up as you honestly
both of your heads are pounding but for different reasons
the movement from the rides caught up with you
he’s not used to staying up that long in the daylight
you’re both glad when you collapse into bed when you get home
you both feel sweaty and sticky when you get home but neither of you have the energy to take a shower
so you just reheat your fair food and put on a movie until you pass out in each other’s arms
“Oh my god I am so tired,” you groan, kicking off your shoes in the doorway as nightowl does the same, the both of you then struggling to take your jackets off and not drop your food at the same time.
“You’re tired? I haven’t slept since this morning,” he says, walking past you and stretching, setting his bags of food and plushies down on the counter. Looking at it now, maybe you did go overboard on the games.
“Yes, that’s an uncommon occurrence for you,” you tease, kissing his forehead as you walk to his room, immediately rummaging through your luggage to find something to sleep in. “I smell like sweat and should shower but I’ll do that in the morning.”
“Amen to that, cutie,” he says, going over and pecking your forehead, before going over to his clothes and picking out something for himself to sleep in.
“Wanna reheat our food and play cheesy movies until we pass out?”
“Oh my god. You know me so well. I love you.”
“I love you too, dork.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
quest
his head hurts a little but he’s alright for the most part
spends the rest of the night taking care of you
gets you painkillers and runs you a bath
sits with you in the bathroom with incense flowing though the house
“it’s supposed to help with headaches, I think”
if the smell is too much he immediately puts it out
but for the sake of the fic that goes with this let’s say it’s light
“Okay, I think I have everything. I got something light for you to eat when you get out, and these are some warm towels when you’re ready to dry off,” Quest says, placing the towels down on the edge of the sink, before walking over and sitting down on the edge of the tub next to you, holding his hand out to you.
You place your hand in his own, giving a warm smile as he kisses your knuckles, rubbing them softly. “Quest, you’re too good for me,” you say, your hand sinking back under the bubbles, your head sinking down a bit more into it. The soft scent of peppermint flowed through the house, making you hum softly.
“Hey, Quest?”
“Yes, Angel?”
“You know what this peppermint smell makes me want?”
“…Hot chocolate?”
“You know me so well~” you say, leaning up and giving him a peck on the cheek, him adverting his eyes to the wall until you slipped back under the bubbles. What? He’s respectful.
“Sure thing, angel. I’ll go make us some hot chocolate. And maybe get The Nightmare Before Christmas ready too,” he says, adding a wink to the last part as he left the bathroom.
And that last sentence is when you knew you loved that man.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
xyx
oh this man
this mother fucker
is somehow perfectly fine
probably IS the reason for your headache
gets you on shit that flips you upside down and sideways
gets you fucked up off inertia
you’re a mess when you get back home
and he’s still trying to get you to go out
it’s only when cat intervenes do his shenanigans stop
“C’mon, love, you’re okay! The night’s barely started, let’s go and do something else! I hear there’s concert near here starting soon, we can probably sneak in!” He says, walking around the room while you contemplate if the criminal charges of hitting him with a desk lamp are worth it.
“Xyx, I’ve already told you, I’m tired and my head is splitting. Go sneak in yourself, loser,” you reply, deciding to just pull a pillow over your head, trying to ignore the pulsating pain in your brain.
“It won’t be any fun without you there! Besides, I don’t want anyone feeling me up, I’m already taken by the best person on this planet~” he coos, flopping onto the bed and pulling you over, planting kisses wherever he can reach.
Just as you’re about to consider if the punishment for 3rd degree manslaughter is really that bad, Cat comes into the room, meowing softly and jumping up onto the bed, nuzzling their obnoxious owner’s arm.
“Oh, Cat! There you are. Maybe you can help me convince no-fun over here to go out?” He asks, scratching behind the feline’s ears as they meow again, purring softly.
“Oh wait, is your food bowl empty?” He asks quietly, picking Cat up and scurrying off to go check the state of their own little corner.
You have never been happier this man was a cat owner. Maybe pampering them will give you the quiet you need. For a little while, anyway.
When Xyx comes back, he finds you passed out on the bed, hugging the pillow you had been hiding with to your chest. He gives a soft smile, before pulling the blanket over you and going to fetch some water before you woke up.
He wasn’t a complete monster, after all.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
nakedtoaster
they’re tired
just absolutely fucked up
he wanted to stay home and play the critically acclaimed mmorpg final fantasy vix that has a free trial and includes the entirety of a realm reborn and
but your puppy dog eyes broke his weak soul
they regret it immediately
the rides were kinda fun after he got done screaming at the first rollercoaster
but they’re so antisocial they don’t go to fairs often so that inertia hits them FAST
you go home and take care of him while he lays in bed regretting all of his life choices
“How you holding up?” You ask quietly, placing the cup of water and some painkillers down on the bedside table, rubbing his head gently as he groans into the pillow.
“Head… splitting. I want to sleep,” he says, the headache breaking his English. You nod sympathetically, moving his head onto your lap, which he complies with easily, looking over at the items on the bedside table.
“Did you at least have a little bit of fun while we were out there?” You ask, hoping this experience wasn’t completely horrible for them. They think for a minute, before turning to look up at you, taking your hand and holding it to their head, seemingly enjoying the pressure.
“Yes, I did. Once you get past the whole there-are-so-many-people-here and post-inertia headache stuff, anyway,” they said, reaching over to the painkillers and popping two in their mouth, swallowing the water after.
“Well, I’m glad. Next time we’ll pace ourselves, okay?” You suggest, holding your pinky out to him, a small smile on your face. He contemplates it, before reaching up and interlocking your pinkies together.
“You’re so good to me. Deal.”
“Only cause you deserve it~” you say, pecking his forehead as his cheeks become slightly dusted pink.
You sit with his head on your lap for a bit longer, him and his headache enjoying the calm, and making plans for less-taxing activities throughout the night.

Twilight was a no-good filthy traitor. Legend hoped a bird shit on his head, or that he had to walk with wet socks, or that all of his hair burned off during the next monster fight. It would only serve him right.
“He looks like he’s plottin’ my demise,” Twilight muttered in an aside to Hyrule.
“Because I am,” Legend bit out, only keeping his voice down so the others didn’t wake. If there was any mercy to be found, it was that Twilight hadn’t told anyone else yet. Goddess knows that would only make things worse.
Hyrule took a slow, deep breath—bracing himself, or maybe out of patience. Legend didn’t know him well enough to say, yet. For a healer, he was surprisingly prickly at times. “We’re only concerned, Legend. Let us help you.”
“And I’m telling you, there’s nothing to help.”
“Twilight said he’s seen you wearing those rings every night.” Hyrule glanced at Legend’s fingers pointedly. “We recognize them. You once mentioned they’re for healing.”
“So what?” Legend snarked.
“So quit being a stubborn bastard and tell us where you’re hurt,” Twilight grumbled, voice just shy of too loud. “You wouldn’t wear ‘em without reason. You’ve said yourself you don’t like wastin’ magic.”
“They’re passive,” Legend sighed, then held up his hands when they both scoffed and opened their mouths to argue. “Why can’t you simply trust me to handle my own shit?”
“Because you’re not on your own now,” Hyrule argued. “We’re a team, and if you’re hurting when one of us can help—”
“Good Three, are you deaf?” Legend snapped in a whisper. “I already said you can’t!”
Hyrule’s ears flattened, and he lowered his gaze. Legend instantly felt like shit.
“Prove it, then,” Twilight said. “Let him do a quick scan, and if there’s truly nothing, we’ll apologize and leave you alone.”
Legend wanted to throw something. He half-considered shoving Twilight just to have an outlet for some of his frustration, but the farm boy was built like a brick shithouse. Probably wouldn’t do Legend the courtesy of budging. “You know what? Fine. Since you’re incapable of respecting my privacy, fine.”
They both looked chastised, but not enough to stop them from taking advantage of Legend’s reluctant acquiescence. Hyrule stepped forward—and wasn’t that its own sharp discomfort, allowing someone into his space without bristling—and placed glowing hands near Legend’s head and chest. For a moment, the only sound was the crackle of the camp fire. Then Hyrule made an unhappy sound in the back of his throat.
“Your right knee…”
As if on cue, an ache shot up through Legend’s leg. “Old ACL tear.”
“It didn’t heal well.”
“No.”
Seconds passed, Hyrule chewing on his lower lip. “What about your back?”
“Nerve damage after a fall.”
Twilight winced. “How high?”
Legend bitterly recalled the unforgiving rocky slopes of Tal Tal Heights. “High,” he answered curtly.
Hyrule shifted his hands. “Your hip—was it dislocated?”
“Mhm. Lynel clipped me.”
“It’s not… Your socket must’ve been damaged as well. It’s not a great fit.”
“I’m aware.”
“And your left ankle?” Hyrule asked quietly. “A fracture?”
“I didn’t have time to set it properly. Had to chug a potion and run.” He figured it went without saying that the alternative would’ve been much worse.
Hyrule frowned. “There’s some scarring in your lungs. Does it hurt to breathe?”
A small raft, a large storm. Choking on salt water as waves crashed overhead. Waking up on Koholint, convinced he must’ve drowned— “Not enough to matter.”
“I see…” Hyrule suddenly took Legend’s left hand in both of his. He was so, so gentle. It made Legend want to hide under a rock. “Can you feel anything in your palm?”
“Besides pins and needles?” Legend shrugged. “Hardly. Burn went too deep.”
Twilight shifted uncomfortably where he stood. “Hyrule, can you heal any of this?”
Hyrule hesitated, then took a step back, letting go of Legend’s hand. “I can try but…” He shook his head sadly. “There’s so much more. So many little traumas that healed wrong, or weren’t addressed in time. Some of your joints are relying on scar tissue for support to function. The arthritis alone, it—I can’t even imagine. Oh, Legend, I’m so sor—”
“I know,” Legend hissed, feeling his face burn with embarrassment. “I fucking know, but you both insisted, and—and there’s nothing to be done, is there? Nothing to do but deal with it, like I always have.” He scoffed, fidgeting with one of his rings. “Only now, you know how broken I am. Congratulations, I guess. I’m proof of what it means to be the goddesses’ favorite.”
Twilight reached out, probably intending to offer comfort, but Legend flinched away. He wasn’t sure why he’d said that last bit. He wished he could take it back. “Just… please,” he started, too tired and ashamed to keep up his anger. “Give me some privacy, and don’t tell the others. Can you at least do that for me?”
Twilight finally looked appropriately regretful. Too bad it didn’t make Legend feel any better. “Of course, Ledge,” he murmured. “And I’m—truly, I’m sorry for pryin’.”
“It’s fine,” Legend said, which wasn’t true, but it was better than “whatever” or “you should be.” He thinks they understood anyway.

To Comfort a Magician
Pariring: Lyney x GN! Reader
Warnings: SPOILERS for the Archon Quest 4.0, Hurt/Comfort(? More comfort than anything), Panic Attacks (I believe), OOC Lyney (I can't write a character without they being OOC-), Reader is implied of having an Anemo Vision.
Synopsis: After the trial, it was hard keeping his playful persona. But, he didn't want to show it to anyone, he had to be strong, even not for his sister and siblings, for himself.
But, there was a person he couldn't hide it from, not even with his best acting.
Notes: After the Archon Quest and Lyney's Story Quest, I thought about this and I couldn't get it out my system :)) Might have a lot of grammar mistakes, and I apologize. This was also really rushed.
Tumblr media
Breath in. Breath out.
These words were echoing in his mind as he slowly exited the Opera Epiclese, his twin walking right beside him. His smile ever present on his face as he just looks forward.
Breath. In. Breath. Out.
Lyney found himself in front of the Fountain of Lucine, the sound of water appearing louder, almost painful in his ears. Lynette walks a bit closer to him, standing right beside him as she also stares at the fountain.
"Do you think The Traveler is going to forgive us?" The voice of his twin caught his attention, making him look at her. Despite how emotionless she appeared physically, he could tell she was stressed as well. He put a hand over he shoulder, squeezing it gently, "Only time can tell." His answer was simply, but it hid his own stress.
Lynette nodded at the answer, returning her walk towards the stattion, but her brother stayed still in front of the Operar, his mind zooming in and out, just like his breathing
Breath. In. Breath. Out.
B r e a t h.
"I'll stay for a bit. There is some things I want to do before returning home." Lyney says, not giving his sister a space to talk as he quickly walked away from there, towards the Amphitheater. Lynette looked at him worriedly but just nodded, returning her walk to the station.
The magician found himself sitting on the seats at the amphitheater, watching as Coppelia and Coppelius glided gracefully through the performance area. But he couldn't focus on the two automatons dancing, he could only think a out how fast his heart was beating.
Putting both his hands over his ears, he curled on himself, the sensation of his trembling body, the sweat descending on his forehead, the loud thumping of his heart. Everything was Painful.
Breath In. Breath Out. Breath In. Breath Out. Breath In. Breath Out.
The magician kept repeating to himself as he felt his breath get more and more uneven. Small tears appearing on the corner of his eyes while he looked down at his feet.
A sudden gust of wind surprised him, but it was also comforting, as if the air was entering his lungs just as much as he needed. He took a deep breath in, letting shaky breath out as he closes his eyes, trying to focus on his breathing slowly.
As he finally started to calm down, he noticed a soft and silent humming right beside him. Someone was there with him. Frantic thoughts appeared on his mind, 'For how long was this person there?', 'Were they a friend or a foe?'. Slowly moving his head up, Lyney recognized the person sitting with him. Bright (E/C) staring at the two automatons, appreciating their dancing, the cyan vision on them swinging gently, moving alongside the wind they brought.
"(Y/N)..." He whispers, voice so gentle, the contrary of his normal cheerful voice. (Y/N) looked at him, a small smile appearing as they stare at his purple eyes. "Relax a bit more." They say gently, a hand resting on his own. "Just enjoy the show." Then, they turned to look at the two automatons once again, continuing their humming.
The couple continued sitting in silence, as Lyney managed to calm himself even slightly, but he still couldn't focus, he was still nervous about the person beside him. "Did you watch the Trial?" He asks, in midst of the silent night.
(Y/N) simply nodded in response, their eyes moving back at the magician. "Feeling more relaxed?" They asked, to which Lyney just nodded. Removing their hand from Lyney's, they watched the magician carefully.
"I'm Sorry." Lyney whispers, voice laced with regret. (Y/N) hummed a bit before asking, "And why is it that you are apologizing?"
"For not telling you, we are fatuus." The answer was direct, but Lyney couldn't help but feel scared.
(Y/N) simply looked ahead, their eyes going back to the two automatons as they kept silence for some minutes.
"Do you act as Fatuus?"
"Hum? I- No... I don't think so."
"So, you have nothing to apologize."
This made the magician calm down, but his purples eyes widened in surprise. Were they for real? They... Don't blame him?
He kept thinking to himself, in shock, not feeling someone removing his top hat until a hand reached his hair, caressing it gently.
"Your... 'status' as a Fatui is merely a name. You have no real connection with them, it was just an unfortunate timing. As well, everyone is entitled to their secrets..." They explained with a soft smile, caressing his ashy blond hair.
The Pyro-user kept quiet, processing the words before letting out a sigh and resting his head on (Y/N)'s shoulder. The relief making him cry again, knowing they didn’t see him as a bad person. Putting both his arms around their waist as he pulled them closer.
(Y/N) moved their hands around his shoulders, squeezing him a bit in the comforting hug while still petting his hair.
They kept like that, just enjoying each others company, comfort and warmth in the silent night of Fontaine.

I’m in love with how they are giving so many subtle hints about Alhaitham and Kaveh’s relationship and how important it is to Alhaitham, despite the way they always seem to be bickering.
Throughout the 3.2 archon quest Alhaitham tells us that the reason why he is so interested in helping Sumeru is because he doesn’t want his daily life to change. After that Kaveh starts being mentioned very frequently by him or we hear other people in the akademiya complain about how they daily argue.
Then, of course, we meet them both arguing with each other in the House of Daena, which was quite the argument. We also know many of their casual interactions and how they go to the café/bar frequently together. Furthermore, Alhaitham pays all of Kaveh’s bills (something no one would do for someone they don't care for).
And now, during Alhaitham’s quest, their tones were so soft (At least in JP and CN) and also domestic. Kaveh seems to worry a lot about Alhaitham and exchanges glances with him, which made me melt inside. I also love how Alhaitham is constantly smiling while bickering with kaveh. Remember, we dont see him smiling like this that often. Which means he really enjoys it. I really liked how after the second time Kaveh asked him if he is okay, he replied with a tease about the painting Kaveh had mentioned before. Also smiling.

But most importantly, something I see no one talking about: the moment when Alhaitham was explaining why he resigned from being the Grand Sage to being the scribe again and he tells us that “It’s important to keep your priorities straight”, the camera points at Kaveh.

I know this game will probably never have any canon ship because they need to make everyone happy, but we do get hints like this from time to time and I think this was one of them.
After all, why would they bother to add all of those scenes with Kaveh when the quests had already concluded, if not for showing us how is what is Alhaitham’s daily life he wants to protect that much? We saw how happy he is, how eager he was to get home and go have dinner with Kaveh. We also see how Kaveh had been waiting for him as well.
I’d like to know more about their relationship, even if it ends up not being romantic (though how do you explain that face Kaveh made when paimon asked if they are friends).
