The first time Alhaitham tried alcohol was with Kaveh during their Akademiya days, the bitter aftertaste lingering—

alhaitham needs glasses:
-
Kaveh supposes he isn’t too surprised that this is what it has come to. Many scholars are prone to nearsightedness, especially someone as attached to physical books as Alhaitham is.
we all know dabi can’t cry because of his burns, but i want to talk more about hawks being unable to cry. hawks being conditioned to believe that crying is the ultimate sign of weakness. hawks being ruthlessly beaten & punished if he sheds even a single tear during training.

a kavetham AU fic with jinni!alhaitham based on gurabad lore
link below! ⬇️
last night i had a dream where i was an intern at endeavor’s hero agency and i messed up so badly that enji slapped me across the face. but instead of crying or saying it hurts i asked him to do it again and he gave me the most disgusted look ever. and then i woke up lol ???
dabihawks soulmates AU but it’s canon setting and thus explains why dabi tells him “your life and death don’t matter to me” because he knows they will meet again and die again and meet again and die again in their endless lifetimes together. and hawks will never remember anything
And he leans up by Kaveh’s ear to whisper the same thing he said years ago at the Akademiya when he was still somewhat shorter than Kaveh and Kaveh had poured him his first ever drink, “I’m in your care, Senior Kaveh. Only yours.”
thank you so much again
@scaramochis_
for letting me commission art based on this scene of my fic below!!! eli’s art is sooo beautiful and truly captures the moment so wonderfully 💖💖💖 it’s such a joy to see it come to life 🥹💕
Later, as Alhaitham lies on their bed, blissed-out and panting in the aftermath, heavily flushed with his glasses obscenely slanted but still dutifully on his face, he discovers precisely how much Kaveh loves to see him with his glasses on.
everyday, hawks stares in the mirror at the massive burn scar on his back and a little piece of himself dies on the inside. but no matter how much it hurts, no matter how much it kills him to know that the sky will never be in his reach again, the tears never come.
to the point where it becomes impossible for him to cry. so when he wakes up in an empty hospital room and finds his back empty, his wings gone, hawks can’t even bring himself to cry. he lets out the longest, most soul-shattering scream possible, but still the tears don’t come.

shark haitham looks so sexy!!! and i love how proud kaveh looks hehehe he is so happy to catch haitham 🥰❤️❤️ thank you for your kavetham art!!!
what if hawks, coming from a rough childhood, used to spend a lot of time on the streets before being scouted by the hero commission. and during that time, he had met kai, an orphan boy who would later be taken in by a yakuza boss.
overhawks childhood friends au rise up
Kaveh sighs, head falling against his pillow in resignation. Kaveh’s cute maid is steadfastly loyal, unbelievably terrible at chores, and above all, endearingly oblivious. He thinks he’s alright with that, though, as long as it means Alhaitham will always be by his side.
@hhhye_tw
this is so lovely and beautiful!!! i love how well they understand each other and how you show that they’re deeply comfortable with each other 😭💖💖💖 my heart is so warm because of this art, i love it 💕💕
It’s not as though Kaveh hasn’t tried to warn him. He’s tried countless times in futility to convince Alhaitham to develop better reading habits for his eyes.
“Too lazy,” Alhaitham responds curtly. Then, to Kaveh’s chagrin, Alhaitham tilts his head up to look Kaveh straight in the eye, his gaze unfocused yet dripping with sultry fervor as he rasps out, “Besides, don’t you like having me in your lap like this, completely at your mercy?”
happy birthday alhaitham!!! i didn’t think i’d fall so hard for haitham at the start, but look at me now still as obsessed as ever with this character LOL so here’s to celebrating the you that is loved ❤️🌱❤️ to my ultimate favorite genshin character, HBD alhaitham!! 🎉🎉
The way Alhaitham scrunches his nose in mild irritation if he has to keep pushing his glasses up. The way his glasses move with his head, shifting left or right or slipping low. The way they complement and enhance Alhaitham’s flushed cheeks and blushing ears.
“Is that so?” Alhaitham’s voice is even, but the blossoming pink shade at the tip of his ears always reveal all. “I thought glasses are a relatively mundane addition to one’s typical appearance.”
Kaveh laughs, “Well, your appearance has never been just typical to me, Haitham.”
But before he can say anything else, he realizes that Alhaitham is leaning into him, his head dipping into the curve of Kaveh’s neck as he sluggishly throws an arm around Kaveh’s waist, shifting closer and closer. And he’s—he’s nuzzling him!
in both their mouths as they passed a shared glass of wine, fingers brushing against one another from time to time.
And unsurprisingly, the first time Alhaitham gets truly drunk is with Kaveh, too.
“So?” Alhaitham asks, tilting his head to the side, and the glasses follow suit, tilting to the side so that they fall slightly askew from its proper place. It’s horribly, unfairly cute.
“You have to promise me that you will only get this drunk when you’re with me. And that absolutely no one else gets to see you like this. Okay?”
Alhaitham chuckles quietly, a deep and entrancing sound to Kaveh’s ears.
@_sweetangle89_
MY HEART IS IN SHATTERS BUT THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL and the last conversation absolutely destroyed me, thank you so much for writing and sharing this masterpiece 😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Kaveh discovers then, much to his own wonder and amusement, that Alhaitham is a quiet, sleepy drunk. A dark flush sits high on his cheeks, growing ever more rosy and lovely at the tip of his ears, and his breathing is delicate and hushed.
thank you so much eli for accepting my commission based on my fic, “you are alhaitham, the unloved” >.< it turned out sooo beautifully!!! this captures the emotions and atmosphere from the scene so vividly and eli’s art is always super gorgeous 💖

How he blinks the sleep out of his eyes, rubbing at them adorably through his glasses in the morning. How he reaches blindly for his glasses on their bedside table before immediately perking up once he puts them on.
“The point is,” Kaveh says, smiling sweetly as he slides his hand upon Alhaitham’s cheek, slithering past the sides of those glasses and leaving blistering heat in its path, “you’re definitely not allowed to take your glasses off at any point tonight, alright?”

“You’re significantly more enthusiastic about intimacy too. Is something on your mind?” Alhaitham blinks once, twice, holding his gaze steady through those stupidly charming glasses.
But regardless of such warnings, he’ll still find Alhaitham in the living room, reading late into the night with dim lighting, enveloped by stacks upon stacks of books.
Oh, Kaveh realizes to himself one day. It all makes sense now. It isn’t that Alhaitham is purposefully ignoring them out of arrogance. Rather, his eyesight has probably gotten so bad that he can’t make out their faces to recognize them even when he’s staring at them as they pass.
And so this is where they’ve found themselves now — with Alhaitham seated in Kaveh’s lap, glasses elegantly dipping low on his nose as Kaveh’s grip on his slender waist tightens dangerously.
How the stars dance off them as he peers up at the sky on the nights when they stargaze. How the lens make his eyes glow as Alhaitham stares enchantingly at Kaveh whenever he wants something from him.
A few days ago, Kaveh had received some bottles of wine as a perfunctory gift from one of his wealthier clients. Somehow, the bottles were brought out during a Friday dinner at home between the two of them, their usual banter flowing just as easily as the wine into their cups.
Sometimes, it’ll be in the study with Alhaitham having fallen asleep, hunched over his desk with his face in a book or slumped peacefully in his chair.
“Mmm,” Alhaitham mumbles, and the sound reverberates low in his chest, “Still… always with you, Kaveh.”
Kaveh finds his cheeks flushing too, but he quickly catches himself, “Heh, I should have you write this down, so the sober you can see what you’re saying now.”
Other times, it’ll be in their bedroom as Alhaitham refuses to sleep without getting a few pages out of his newest text. Kaveh has to whine and push his face into Alhaitham’s plush chest to distract him from the book in an effort to make him put it away by their bedside table.
Frozen still, Kaveh can only sit there with his hands twitching, suddenly unsure of where to place them, as he discovers for the first time in his life that Alhaitham is not only a quiet, sleepy drunk, but he is also a very, very touchy drunk.
“What? No, no, of course not,” Kaveh sighs. How should he explain this? He and Alhaitham have known each other for a long time, and they’ve both seen each other in numerous different states.
@kavclay
i’m so happy to see more kavethams from you!!! i always love your kvthm writing very much!! ❤️❤️ this is SO delicious and beautifully written — i love alhaitham’s straightforward, knowing words and their attachment for each other >.< thank you so much for this!!
“It’s nice… and comfortable like this,” Alhaitham whispers against Kaveh’s neck, and his hot, alcohol-scented breath against Kaveh’s own heated, sensitive skin sends a visceral shiver throughout his body. “Don’t wanna… move…”
It is one of the very few times that Kaveh finds himself drinking less than Alhaitham.
“Alhaitham?” he calls softly.
Alhaitham is holding the wine glass with one hand, though his grip slips from the stem every now and then, as he rests his cheek on the other hand.
All of the sudden, Kaveh finds his grip on Alhaitham’s waist tightening as his other hand rests upon Alhaitham’s cheek to keep his gaze steady on him and him only, “Alhaitham… you have to promise me something, okay?”
“Hmm?”
Kaveh is getting more and more complaints about how Alhaitham is especially rude and arrogant these days too, refusing to say hello or nod in greeting even when he makes eye contact with people.

🏛️🌱 thread on homes, messes, meals, and the people who raise us:
i like the hc that kaveh can sometimes be a messy, dysfunctional person — like when he’s chasing after a deadline or super focused on a certain project, he might neglect his surroundings in those moments
“H-Haitham, come on now! You’re heavy,” Kaveh tries to protest, but it comes out as weak whining instead, devoid of any true objection. Not to mention, his own hands betray him as they instinctively find their grasp around Alhaitham’s waist and thigh.
The signs come gradually. Kaveh notices how much slower Alhaitham is when they walk outside together, especially during sunset hours and after dark, taking his time in carefully mapping out his surroundings.
One glass turned into two, and then three, and then sometime after the fifth or sixth glass of wine, Kaveh now notices Alhaitham’s speech slowing and his eyes fluttering shut every once in a while.
On the many nights when Kaveh finds himself exhausted from work, Alhaitham will simply choose to read in the darkness in order to help Kaveh rest better, one hand quietly petting the soft golden hair as Kaveh slumbers away tiredly beside him and another hand grasping his book.
“At least walk with me to the bedroom,” Kaveh sighs shakily, trying to hold onto the fading fringes of his composure. His normally put-together and entirely unflappable junior is way, way too cute like this! How did his infuriating junior turn out to be this adorable when drunk?
They know what the other looks like when they’re half awake and running on caffeine and what they look like when they’re held in each other’s arms, breathless and content and desperately in love.
But Kaveh has never seen Alhaitham like this. The sight of how his glasses slide low on his nose when he’s too engrossed in a book to bother pushing them up.
Alhaitham is looking at him, but he’s not quite making eye contact — as if he sees Kaveh’s face but can’t exactly tell where Kaveh’s eyes are. “I think you need to get your eyes checked.”
The soft, silvery-gray strands brush back and forth against his cheek as Alhaitham continues to inch closer, essentially crawling into Kaveh’s lap now. And the body in his arms is warm and pliable and so uncharacteristically vulnerable.
“Haitham,” Kaveh finally says to him one evening, watching silently in concern as Alhaitham stumbles with far less grace than usual into their bedroom.
“Hey, now,” Kaveh says gently, slipping closer beside him to cautiously pry the wine glass out of Alhaitham’s wavering hand before it spills onto their couch. “Still with me, Haitham? I think you’ve had enough to drink for the night.”

Kaveh, on the other hand, has an early morning meeting the next day with a potential client, so he responsibly limited himself to slowly sipping up to two glasses of wine only, enjoying the tender warmth of the evening in the comfort of their home.
i tried taking that personality test going around but from kaveh and alhaitham’s perspectives to see what they would get, and the results are so cute!!!
in light of the halloween spirit, i’m bumping this soft kavetham fic i wrote about alhaitham being able to see spirits and meeting kaveh’s father!! if anyone would like a ghost-themed story for the season 🥰💕👀
Endlessly enamored, Kaveh tells him in a hushed voice, “You shouldn’t hold me so softly if you don’t want to be mine.”
Alhaitham tilts his head to the side and merely replies, “Aren’t I already yours? I work for you.”
The first is that Alhaitham is exceedingly loyal.
Kaveh and Alhaitham first met when they were both quite young. His mother had hired Alhaitham amongst a wide variety of other caretakers and maids in order to look after her son when she moved away to a distant country.
