kaveh and alhaitham are really nice characters and I like how their designs complement each other along with how they interact with the back story's and personality's
kaveh: *eating goldfish while dipping them in nuttela* *alhaiham walking by*: do I even have to ask? *kaveh muffled*: no..
and that racoon was sayu we have no idea how he got to inzuma
Kaveh: I think it's time i get my life in order.
Alhaitham, narrating: But he did not get he's life in order. In fact, he got drunk last night and fought a raccoon.
I tried my new markers and it didnt work out how I wanted, definitely not my best work. But I'm still happy with it!!
Me coming across kavetham fics on ao3 before the leaks: hmm nice, hope we get introduced to him
Me after the leaks: DAYUMMMMM
And they were roommates
Giggled and cried and giggled again

alhaitham x fem!reader
2.5k words | zhongli + diluc
warnings: hurt/comfort
some would say it was inevitable that alhaithams cold and arrogant personality would catch up to your relationship. how someone as sweet and loving as you could be with someone as robotic and logical as him, people didnât understand. but it never mattered to either of you what others thought or assumed about your relationship. you knew how you felt and how he felt in return, you didnât need anything else.Â
you also knew that even if what others said did come true, even if you were on the receiving end of cold calculating words and intimidating eyes it wouldnât sway how you felt about him. and as you stood before him, with unshed tears clinging to your lashes, under the gaze of his indifference to what he said that caused your chest to contract painfully, you know it really didnât change how you felt about him but that still didnât prepare you for how much it hurt to hear him talk to you in such a way, how small it would make you feel in comparison to the genius grand scribe.Â
he hadnât yelled, hadnât used his title to undermine you, he had hardly even blinked when the words came out and pierced your heart with daggers of ice. and yet he may as well have screamed to the whole library around you that you were fighting, that you were beneath him. those feelings wrapped around you, curling around your spine like tight tendrils oozing with black smoke that echo with his hurtful words as he towers over you with folded arms and his usual unbothered expression.
your mouth felt dry, your heart beating to a rhythm that hurt; each deep thump sending an uncomfortable ache throughout your whole body. you didnât know how to reply, there was clearly nothing you could say that would make him understand where you were coming from right now and with every passing second you were becoming weaker to the tears threatening to spill down your cheeks. being this upset you didnât want to cry in front of him or what felt like the whole akademiya but you couldnât stand to have him speak to you like this for another minute without breaking down and you hardly had the will to talk back to him.
all you can manage is a choked out and quiet âokayâ as you turn away from him and start to head for the door leading out of the house of dena. you donât make it far before a powerful hand from your âfeebleâ scholar wraps around your wrist and stops you. itâs gentle enough not to hurt you but still with enough strength that youâre forced to do as he willed even if you didnât want to.
biting the inside of your cheek, trying your damnedest to not break down and cry right here and now, you look up to meet his eyes but only get a glimpse of his stern features, those seafoam orbs with amber fire, before your vision blurs and wet warmth travels down your cheek. pushing your hand against his, you pull away from his grip and quickly wipe the few tears from your face with the back of your hand before practically running from the house of dena and out the doors of akademiya. you needed to get out of here.. try to calm down and finally catch your breath, not succumb to the suffocating unease sewing between you because if you did you swore you would drown in it.
you donât hear him following but you donât dare to look back to check.Â
with his sharp eyes and pink lips drawn in a thin line youâd never see through the express he wore that alhaithams heart was dropping into the pit of his stomach, dragging his lungs down with it. the hurt painted all over your face, the shake of your body under his touch and as you pushed him away, the tears you tried so hard to hide from him escaping and cleansing the veil of his arrogance from his eyes.
.. had you looked this hurt the whole time? he had hardly looked up from the book he was working on until his patience snapping, wanting nothing more than silence and for you to not worry, brought him from the pages but even then he hadnât truly seen you. at least not until you turned away and he reached for you, went to tell you that this discussion was not over but the words died on his tongue quickly because as soon as he saw you, actually saw you and heard not just the words he spewed to prove a point, to be right, he found he could hardly speak at all.
how others felt about his words or tone was hardly of his concern but when it came to you..
youâre suddenly too far away for his liking and he somehow feels like the distance you put between you was not just physical but a distance of the heart as well and he felt it growing vaster with each quick step you took. but by the time his body actually moves to go after you, a few long strides in, his voice returning to call your name, a strong grip on his cloak pulls him back and keeps him in place.Â
âlet her go,â kaveh voice is as annoyed with the scribe as it always is but there's an air of unusual authority around him at this very moment.
kaveh hadnât really meant to eavesdrop or step in, it was more that he had been in the wrong place at the wrong time but it was a scene that was hard to look away from and he was full of his own dejection after watching what unfolded before him. he had never heard alhaitham speak to you like that, with cold indifference as the scribe had with many but never you. it had once baffled kaveh to see the scribe being sweet, truly and genuinely loving, towards you but this.. this threw him off even more so.
why did he stop alhaitham though? he chalks it up to being such a sucker for love and well, if heâs being honest, he quite likes what youâve done to his roommates bad personality. he didnât need this romantic fledgling only making things worse for himself.
âthis doesnât concern you.â alhaitham can hardly contain the sneer pulling at his lips as he forces himself out of his roommate's grasp and turns back in the direction you ran but you were nowhere to be seen now. he swallows the lump in his throat to try to calm his racing nerves, clenches his fist to keep him grounded, from losing the last bit of rationality because with every erratic pulse through his veins he feels it slipping further and further from him.
he hadnât known the absence of you could make him so.. frantic.
âmaybe not,â kaveh sneers right back. âbut did you ever think that when youâre being an insufferable jerk not even y/n would want to be around you? give her some space.â
give you space.. crescent shapes dig their way into his half gloved hands the tighter he clenches his fists thanks to how much he hates that yes it makes sense that he should indeed do just that. you had left to get away from him after all, even if he detests the validity of that truth. but maybe that's what he needed too. yeah, maybe logically.. but he canât get his heart to agree, not when itâs still sitting like a boulder at the bottom of his stomach, growing heavier by the minute at the remembrance of the hurt in your eyes and the way you ran from him-
he should go after you..
as if kaveh heard his thoughts, which is both absurd and annoying, he attempts to stop alhaitham again. âiâm sure sheâll find her way to the house once sheâs ready and then you can attempt to apologize for being such a royal ass.â
it wasnât until after he had tried to settle back into his book that he actually started to see what happened leading up to this moment. the way he spoke to you, both his tone and his choice of words, the way your own voice wavered so many times but he still didnât stop, as if this was some kind of debate with another scholar - and this time he turned out to be the losing fool. how he had made you cry.. the fact that for all he knows you were still crying..
he tries to swallow down the unease, running his hand through his hair, readjusting and trying to find a comfortable position in his chair, rereads the same paragraph over and over because he canât seem to retain the information with the lingering thoughts of you in his mind but it all does nothing to help quell the storm that uncomfortably knocks against his rib cage and keeps a slight bounce to his leg.Â
not a single bit of his work got done from the moment you left. he tried to brush it off like he had so many other arguments with so many others but you were not others and they had never felt like this, never had someone he cares about this much hurting from his words.Â
unable to focus on anything but you, he gives up on his book and heads home early but home isnât much better.Â
while you didnât officially live here, still having your own place in the city, you slept here every night, had drawers that alhaitham cleaned out in his dresser for your things that slowly made their way here or that he had simply bought you so you could have them no matter whose place you were at. little reminders of you lay throughout the whole house and he could hardly take his eyes off of them; your tea cup sitting on the table from when you left this morning while in a hurry, your extra pair of shoes neatly placed at the front door, your favorite fruit resting in the basket on the kitchen counter waiting to be cut up and eaten, your soft blanket and fantasy books near the couch you usually sit at. and though it wasnât what he normally read, he couldnât stop himself from opening up one as he waited for you to come home.
but as the sun set and not even kaveh returned, it was as though he saw every calculating chance of how he could make this up to you when you finally did come back, fall to the ground and shatter at his feet. he looks into those shards of possibility, calculating his next strategy, refusing to let them piece themselves into a prospect he didnât want to see; one where you never called this place your home again. he was left with his head in his hands, staring at the ground beneath his feet and wanting nothing more than to kiss your forehead, remind you how precious you are to him, have your head rest against his chest and remind you that he can be aloof, even cold, but he loves you so much.
they were words he rarely shared but right now he wanted to say them to you more than ever.
he had never actually used the key that you gave him to your place. there was no need when he found you beside him always, but, knowing there is nowhere else you likely are, it now felt like a life line that reeled him into you, guiding him through the dark streets of sumeru until he was standing outside your door, the first few drops of relief finally washing over him at the light coming from your living room window. Â
he swiftly unlocks your door and steps inside, headed straight for the room with the light on, where you were bound to be, your name falling from his lips only to be cut off when he finds you on the couch, sleeping as unpeacefully as heâs ever seen you. he feels the regret of not coming earlier bubbling in his stomach but pushes it down because it didnât matter, he was here now and he was going to make it right.
with quiet steps he takes long strides towards your sleeping figure, feeling somehow better and worse than he had before. to see you, reach out and touch you, delicate touches as he moves stray hairs from your face, revealing to him all the evidence of your tearful state until you had fallen asleep here. by looks of it you hadnât meant to, with no blanket to keep you warm and the lights still on, in an old shirt he hadnât known you took from his closet, curled into yourself, a book long forgotten on the tea table.
he hadnât been able to part from your skin, even when your tired eyes blink slowly, finally seeing who was in front of you and the emotions held behind those lovely blue eyes, emotions he normally didnât feel or show to anyone.
âh-âhaitham?âÂ
âhabibti,â he replies with such tenderness.
âwhatâre-â
âyou didnât come home.âÂ
your chest feels heavy at his words and you hide your face from him, feeling like you might cry at the way he said that, not wanting to say that this was your home too. you knew it was a lie, your apartment hadnât felt like home for a long time, not when he wasnât here with you but how you shy away doesnât stop him from scooping you into his arms, cradling you in his warm and strong embrace. for a moment he just stands there, holding you, his lips on the crown of your head, his nose buried in your hair, his grip around you growing comfortably tighter. you can hear the heavy beating of a heart but in this proximity, when the whole world around you was nothing but alhaitham, you didnât know if it was his or yours.Â
âi love you.â
his words break the silence between you. spoken against your skin, their truth seeping into your very being and down your spine until you are encompassed by it, by him.
you reply in earnest, clinging to him, placing soft and gentle kisses against his collarbone as he carries you to the bedroom you hadnât slept in for so long, that felt too big without him in it but tonight, you wouldnât be without him for another moment.
as if you were made of glass he places you into the sheets and follows immediately after you, never letting you get far from his grasp and as you drift back to sleep against his chest, a peaceful one this time around, he whispers his apologies, his promise to do better and more confessions of his unending love for you.

what's with these IQ 500 characters and their "weak"/"feeble" talk
silly and messy sketchbook spread with kavehtham morning routine
omg ykw what, i need a cyno-centric ff where he and al-haitham are dating but they arenât public and then cyno hears a few things about kaveh and al-haitham from ppl in the city such as how âtheyâre made for eachotherâ and âhow they argue like a married coupleâ and some people make a rumour that haikaveh are even dating.
and so with all of these things going around he gets insecure and starts to believe how haikaveh are meant to be so he distances himself from al-haitham and ends up breaking up with him.
blah blah blah miscommunication happens ans idk wether it should be a good ending or bad ending. who knows i just want angst but anyways if thereâs a ff like that or someone writes something like this then please gimme the linkđđ
and then they kiss

The first time you met Dr. Alhaitham, he walked in like a problem you werenât ready to solve.
The door eased open with a soft click, and you barely had a second to breathe before he stepped through. And just like that, every rational thought in your head short-circuited.
He was tallâso tallâand built like the universe had carefully balanced strength and elegance just for him. His white coat hung open, effortlessly draped over broad shoulders, the fabric swaying slightly with each step like it knew how lucky it was. Underneath, his black button up shirt fit too well and his tie perfectly in place.
But it was his face that hit the hardest.
Angular jaw. Perfectly cut cheekbones. Lips set in a neutral line that looked like theyâd never curve into anything as mundane as a smile. His hairâa soft grey, slightly tousled like he'd run a hand through it absentmindedlyâframed his face with just enough dishevelment to be maddening.
And then his eyes met yours.
Cool, turquoise irises - pupils rimmed with amber. Focused. Sharp. Like a lens sliding into place. He looked at youânot through you, not past you, but at youâand your brain promptly melted into static.
You forgot how to sit properly.
You shifted on the exam table and winced at the ridiculously loud crinkle of the paper beneath you. Great. Smooth. Very dignified.
He glanced down at his tablet. âName?â
You mumbled it. Or at least, you think you did. Your mouth moved, and he didnât ask again, so that was something.
His gaze flicked up again, this time assessing. âHm.â
Just hm.
You wanted to die. Or be swallowed whole by the earth. Or maybe just crawl under the table and never come out again.
He walked closer, writing a few things down, entirely unfazed. His presence filled the room with a kind of quiet intensity, like a thunderstorm just waiting to happen. He asked clinical questions in a deep, calm voice that was way too smooth for your current state of mind.
When he stepped beside you and reached for your wrist, you nearly levitated off the table.
His fingers were precise, cool, steady as they pressed against your skin. Meanwhile, you were vibrating at a frequency only small rodents could hear.
âPulse is elevated,â he said absently, glancing at the numbers. âUnusual.â
You cleared your throat. âIâmâuh. Justânervous.â
âI assumed,â he replied, flatly. âThough I havenât done anything yet.â
Oh my god.
Was that deadpan sarcasm? Was that dry humour? From him?
Your face burned. You could feel the flush rising like a tidal wave, heat crawling up your neck and settling in your ears.
He tilted his head slightly, studying you again. Not with empathy. Not with judgment. Just that same unreadable curiosity, like you were a particularly odd research sample.
âTry to relax. You're only making it worse.â
You let out a high-pitched laugh that did not help your case.
He returned to his notes without another word, cool and methodical as he moved through the rest of the exam. Every brush of contact was maddening. He was so calm, so put-together, while you were over here trying not to pass out from sheer mortification.
Finally, he stepped back and moved to the door.
He paused there, one hand on the handle.
âYou should drink more water,â he said, still not looking back. âAnd maybe avoid overly stimulating environments.â
Then, after a beatâso soft you almost missed it:
âCharismatic doctors included.â
The door clicked shut behind him.
You sat there, frozen, heart racing like you'd just run a marathon on zero sleep and five cups of coffee.
You buried your burning face in your hands.
You were so, so doomed.
The second time you met Dr. Alhaitham, you told yourself it was just a check-up. Just routine. Just to confirm youâre healthy. Thatâs all.
You definitely didnât fix your hair twice in the waiting room. Or rehearse what youâd say if he asked anything personal. Or almost chicken out at the front desk.
And then⊠there he is again.
Same white coat. Same unreadable face. Clipboard in hand. He doesnât smile. He nods. Thatâs it. Like youâre a piece of data.
âStill having the same symptoms?â he asks, setting his pen against paper, eyes flicking up for half a second.
âNo,â you say too quickly. âI meanâyes. I meanâsort of?â You feel the shame rise like steam in your face. Be normal, you beg yourself silently. Be a normal human.
His brow furrows. âThatâs⊠not very clear.â Heâs not being rude. Heâs just direct. His voice is so flat, so serious, it makes you squirm.
You try to say something coherent while he approaches with the stethoscope. And then it happens againâhe touches your wrist to take your pulse.
Immediate panic.
He blinks. âStill elevated.â
âItâs warm in here,â you blurt.
He tilts his head slightly. âItâs⊠twenty-two degrees Celsius.â
You die. Right there. He probably thinks youâre about to pass out. Or lying. Or both. Meanwhile, heâs moving through the appointment like youâre not experiencing a romantic crisis every time he breathes near you.
âYouâre giggling,â he says, suddenly.
You freeze. âIâmânot!â
He looks up. That same unreadable stare. âYou are. Itâs fine. Some patients get nervous.â
âIâm not nervous,â you say way too fast, your voice a squeak now.
He just nods again. âHmm.â
Hmm.
Thatâs it. Youâre never recovering from this.
Then, as heâs about to leave, he pauses. Flips through his notes.
âYou drink enough water now?â he asks without looking at you.
Your stomach flips. He remembered.
You nod.
âGood,â he says. Still serious. Still calm. Still a walking paradox of soft hands and distant eyes. âYou seem better. Maybe next time, you wonât giggle.â
And then he leaves.
And you sit there.
Absolutely gone.
The third time you met Dr. Alhaitham, you werenât supposed to be here. You just needed toothpaste. Thatâs all. One boring little errand.
Youâre in your softest hoodie, your least presentable state, and youâre standing in the pharmacy aisle, zoning out while debating between two brands of lip balmâbecause clearly, your life is thrilling.
And then, you hear it. That voice. Calm, low, quietâbut unmistakable.
âExcuse me.â
You turn.
Itâs him.
Your doctor. In a black button-up and fitted trousers. No white coat. No clipboard. No clinical detachment to protect you.
Just⊠him. Hair slightly tousled. Glasses pushed up on his nose. Holding a box of vitamins like itâs the most casual thing in the world.
You nearly drop your chapstick.
âOh,â you say. Too loudly. Too high-pitched. âHi.â
His eyes land on you, calm as ever, and he nods like itâs perfectly normal that the man youâve been lowkey fantasizing about is now standing three feet away by the travel-size shampoo.
âI remember you,â he says, flatly. Not unkind. Just observant.
You nearly ascend. âUhâyeah. Iâm⊠still hydrated.â
A pause. The corner of his mouth twitches. Twitches.
âThatâs good,â he says, and somehow it sounds like a compliment.
You just stare. Like an idiot. Because heâs wearing a real person outfit. And his sleeves are rolled up. And his forearms exist. And heâs not doing anything wrong, but youâre actively malfunctioning.
He glances down at the item in his hand, then holds it up. âDo you know if these actually help? Iâve read mixed studies on the absorption rate.â
Heâs asking you. For an opinion. On vitamins. And youâre trying to remember how to form a sentence.
âIâI mean, I just⊠get the gummies,â you say.
He actually blinks. âGummies?â
You nod. âTheyâre easier to⊠chew?â
Another pause. And then, a quiet, rare sound: a soft huff of amusement. You donât even think itâs a laugh. But itâs close enough to make your chest burst like a firework.
âYouâre different outside the clinic,â he says simply.
You panic. âIs that bad?â
âNo,â he says, adjusting his glasses. âJust⊠surprising.â
Your heartbeat is in your ears.
You manage a half-smile. âYouâre different too.â
He tilts his head. âHow so?â
âYou⊠have forearms.â
His eyebrows go up. You want to eat the floor.
âI meanânot that I think about your forearmsâI justââ
Heâs watching you. Quiet. Sharp. Then he says, very calmly:
âYouâre blushing again.â
You wish for lightning to strike you on the spot. He adjusts the box in his hand like this is all very standard and unremarkable.
And then, as casually as anything:
âIâll remember the gummies next time.â
And he walks away.
Leaving you standing there like a disaster in a hoodie, holding two kinds of lip balm and a pounding heart.
The fouth time you met Dr. Alhaitham, the waiting room is cold again, or maybe youâre just more sensitive today. You clutch your jacket tighter, feeling that weird mix of dizzy and tired thatâs been creeping up for days. You told yourself it was nothingâjust stress, maybe. But now youâre here again.
The nurse calls your name, and your heart skips. Because you already know whoâs going to be behind that door.
You step into the exam room and sit down, and sure enoughâthere he is. Doctor Serious. Doctor Calm. Doctor devastating.
Except this time, his eyes linger longer when he sees you.
âYou donât look well,â he says immediately.
You blink. âGee, thanks.â why do you think I am here ? well it is also to stare at your gorgeous face but I am not going to disclose that to you.
His brow lifts. You didnât mean to sound so sarcastic. But your voice is quieter than usual, and your usual panic feels dulled by how out-of-it you feel. He steps closer, watching you carefully.
âDizzy spells?â he asks, sitting down across from you. âHeadaches?â
You nod. âYeah. And I feel kinda tired all the time. Like⊠weirdly tired.â
He watches you. Really watches you. âHave you been eating regularly?â
You hesitate. âUm. I mean. Mostly. Maybe not perfectly.â
âHave you fainted?â
âNo,â you say. âI just⊠feel like a dying Victorian woman sometimes.â
That earns a real reaction: a soft exhale, not quite a laughâbut the closest youâve ever gotten. He looks at you again, like heâs trying to read through your jokes.
âVictorian woman,â he echoes.
You shrug weakly. âIâd look really cute collapsing into someoneâs arms.â
His lips twitch. âLetâs avoid collapsing for now.â
He runs a few tests, checking your pulse againâso gentlyâand this time when your heart spikes, he doesnât even comment on it. He just looks at you, a bit more quietly than usual.
âYour iron might be low,â he says. âHave you been on your period recently?â
You blink. âWhy would youâhowâd youâ?â
âYouâve been here before,â he says simply. âYou were flushed and talkative. Now youâre pale and slow to respond.â
You stare. âSo you⊠remember me that well?â
He doesnât answer. Just writes something into his file.
And then, suddenly, he says:
âYou were at the pharmacy the other day.â
Your stomach flips. âYeah.â
âI bought the gummies,â he says.
You blink. âDid they change your life?â
âNot yet,â he murmurs, writing something down. Then: âI donât usually see patients outside the clinic.â
You donât know what to say. He doesnât look at you as he speaks, but his voice is⊠softer.
âI just mean,â he says slowly, âyouâre different. Less anxious today. Or maybe just tired.â
He looks up, and for the first time, thereâs something like concern in his eyes.
âI want you to get a blood test,â he says. âIâll write a referral.â
You nod, barely processing, because all you can focus on is the way heâs not looking at you like youâre a puzzle anymore. Heâs looking at you like he actually⊠cares - well he is a doctor it is his job to treat you, his patient and to care for you as his patient.
And when you stand up to leave, a little wobbly on your feet, he places a hand gentlyâso gentlyâat your elbow.
âCareful,â he says. âYouâre still a little pale.â
You look up at him.
âWill you be there when I collapse dramatically?â you ask, trying to joke through the fog in your head.
He doesnât smile. But his voice is quieter than ever when he replies:
âAlways.â
And then he lets go.
