Alhaitham's Dilemma (Kavetham, Haikaveh, Genshinfanfic)

Secrets - The BIG ones

'You need to tell me a secret yourself, Alhaitham! I told you a really big one. So you need to tell me something as big as this at least. I don't count the peeking thing as a big secret anymore. Just you know!', says Kaveh begging Alhaitham to satisfy his curiosity. They are again in the room with the large painting. This is a secret room...so it makes sense the secrets are being told there, too.

'Alright. But only one.', says Alhaitham giving up

'Hmmm...I always wondered how you found out the size of my finger for the engagement ring, now our wedding ring.', says Kaveh still puzzled

'Really? So this was the reason you made a fuss at the jeweler that day? I can't believe such a small thing would affect your mood this much. I bet you thought I would marry another guy because I didn't ask for the size...', says Alhaitham annoyed again

'Ahmm...kind of...', says Kaveh ashamed

'For God's sake Kaveh...I would never do such a thing, you know this very well! This was actually the easiest part! I just took some of the rings you wear with your gloves together...I just took it while you were at your studio, measured it and made a copy by using some rubber for the mold.', says Alhaitham not understanding how silly and stupid his lover can be sometimes even if he is a genius

'Oh! So it was really that easy...wow...I somehow didn't thought doing it like this...', says Kaveh now realizing how stupid he is

'Why? Wait...how have YOU done it? I only have rings on my middle finger and around my thumb. Now I am getting curious how you did it, too! ', says Ahaitham suddenly curious

'Ahhh! This one was actually easy for me as well. I just didn't think about how easy it would be for you, too. Actually I just need to use...hey! You just want to hear ANOTHER secret from me for free.' Says Kaveh embarrassed he almost said it just like that

'But I told you already the secret how I got your finger size. I think you can share now another one, too.', says Alhaitham calmly

'Yeah...but it was not a big one. It turned out to be very plain and I am still not satisfied...' says Kaveh carefully not to spill the tea again

'But you thought it is a big one....so I think this would count, too. But...alright. Just ask anything else you still think is big mystery I am hiding from you. It will probably turn out again that the answer was as simple as figuring out the size of your finger...', teases Alhaitham because he now starts to get curious how Kaveh did it...

'Good. You can choose between two things I want to know. And I think both are big. The first one is the question how you got Dori to pay for our Wedding and the second one is why were you in the library at the day I was depressed after Badawi rejected my design again.', says Kaveh certain that they are both big

Alhaitham's brain:
I normally don't think about anything at all. My mind is a peaceful empty place. But it turns out Kaveh has managed again to scare the shit out of me. And he is right. Both secrets are big. Both will destroy his ego in regards to his work. Hmmmm. I must think now very, very carefully which of these I will tell him. I need to know now what he is hiding from me. He's secret must be a big one, too because he wouldn't make such a fuss about the finger size if it wouldn't be a great deal for him to begin with...
