About eight months ago, you met the sweetest man you've in the history of Teyvat. Meeting him at a cafe, he told you of his roommate who had taken his keys as payback for a similar trick he did. Feeling sympathetic for the man, you bought him a drink and continued to listen to him rant.
At the end of his ranting he got you a snack and you offered to walk back to his apartment to wait for his roommate. He told he didn't want to witness the hell that would break loose, so he convinced you to go home.
You both kept in touch after that, now you've found yourself happy with your bag of plushies, specifically matching ones. Sure they were more your thing as he regularly saw them literally everywhere whenever he sees you, but he could learn to accept them.
Walking to his apartment, you slowed down a bit when you saw Kaveh storming away. His scowl turned into a smile as he waved at you, then quickly went back to pissed.
When you furrowed your eyebrows and looked towards the door, you saw Alhaitham there with his arms crossed and a similar scowl on his face. You held your bag with both hands and quickly walked over to him.
You tilted your head, "Is everything okay-" Not even getting to finish your question, you were dragged into the apartment.
His hand shifted to the small of your back as he pushed you towards him, slamming the door. Locking it, his other hand snaked over to cup your cheek, his entire hand could cover your face if he wanted it to.
"Haitham, are you okay?" You looked up at him, cheek leaning into his hand as you looked up at him concerningly. He nodded and crouched down." Are you hungry? I'll grab you something to eat."
Without waiting for a response, he took your hand and walked you into the kitchen.
Along with the Mates, Alhaitham was possibly one of the most intimidating people in Sumure, but he was just a giant teddy bear towards you. From the moment you met him, you showered him with nothing but kindness, so how could he not reciprocate?
Right now though, the facade was quickly slipping. Kaveh had told him that he had gone over to your house and vented about how horrible Alhaitham was to him.
Alhaitham knew you wouldn't believe it, after only being exposed to his soft side for almost a year you would outright deny any ill-speak of him. But that didn't change the fact Kaveh went over to your house, unannounced and interrupted whatever you were doing.
That's what really set him off, he can get insanely busy himself and knows how it feels to be thrown out of your train of thought when you're near the conclusion of what you've been working so hard on.
"Alhaitham, are you sure you're okay?" You placed your bag on the counter and tugged on his arm. The scribe turned around and patted your head, "I'm fine, I know the walk over here is a bit so I'll make you something to eat."
You simply nodded and hauled yourself onto the counter, sitting comfortably while chatting away with your best friend. Almost forgetting you had brought the bag in the first place, you called for him to come over to you.
Once he did, you began digging in the bag. He waited patiently til you pulled out the two plushies, they were both complementary colors of small cats. Holding one of them up to him, you smiled and shoved it to his chest. "I got us matching plushies!"
Alhaitham took them from your hands, feeling it in his much larger ones. He squeezed it a few times before looking back at you, who was already holding yours close to your chest with a wide smile on your face.
He set it down, "Thank you." Hand coming to caress your head, you leaned into it and placed your own hands on top of it.
