Kaveh x Alhaitham|| Angst+Fluff ||The Blood Spilt Flower

"Uhm...on second thought..I think they should stay with somebody tonight." Kaveh finally broke away from Diluc's hold as he turned to both Klee and Diona "Aha..Sorry girls..Please forget this happened and don't copy after this!"

Diona and Klee only stared at him then turned to face eachother

"Mm." Diluc stepped forward, hugging Kaveh from behind. And so he remained keeping a hold on the blonde

"Heeeello?" Kaveh turned around to see Diluc's head resting on his back..this was a lot of touching- The blonde tried stepping forward to break away but Diluc only pulled him in once more

"Mine."

"Offffff!" Kaveh jumped forward in hope that Diluc would have to let go..but instead he leaned back and held the blonde up in the air.

"..mine." Diluc slowly lowered him then looked at Alhaitham "How much longer do you plan to stare."

"As long as I desire. This is the land of freedom is it not." Alhaitham got up from the ground while folding his arms into a cross "besides, your attracting everyone's attention with the way you act."

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know being a good husband was a crime. It's certainly something you failed to do as a boyfriend."

Alhaitham immediately stepped forward and pulled Diluc off of Kaveh while grabbing him by his collar "dare to say that again."

"I'm not wrong am I. And this temper your shaking proves my point. You don't learn from your mistakes do you." Diluc couldn't care less, him and Alhaitham both stared at eachother in anger.

"Woah woah woah there!" Tighnari looked rather concerned for this event, he didn't want a full fight to break out..

"See. This is another thing! It's the whole 'he's mine' dynamic!" Cyno observed the two then looked at Tighnari "do I have to do this for your attention?"

"CYNO."

"..iPad kid..." Kaveh mumbled then pushed both Diluc and Alhaitham away from eachother "You guys are humans. Not dogs. Knock it off."

"No. I'm human. He's a dog. If you asked him to bark he would." Alhaitham spoke with a beyond pissed off tone, neither did Diluc or Alhaitham's gaze on eachother break

"UHM. HELLO!? IM RIGHT HERE!" Tighnari said while crossing his arms about the dog talk

"You're a fox Nari. Or did you forget your own species." Cyno tilted his head while getting closer to Tighnari

Diluc shrugged then took Kaveh's hand "Should we head home? I'll call somebody to get the girls. Your friends are staying with us right?"

"Uh..Yea" Kaveh looked down at there intertwined hands as he felt a small blush spread to his face, his head slowly tilting up to look at Diluc "Mind if we talk later?"

"Of course"

"Gross." Alhaitham stuck out his tongue then turned his head to see that Cyno and Tighnari were..Actually getting along. For some odd reason Cyno was rubbing his head and Tighnari completely allowed it..Those two reminded him of himself and Kaveh so much..

...

As they all arrived at Diluc's house they sat around in the living room, Diluc sat himself down next to Kaveh as they both cuddled close

"Are you tired? I can take you to lay down my love.."

"I'm fine." Kaveh was laid right on top of Diluc with his arms wrapped around him and his head on his chest

"Sooooo...TCG anyone?" Cyno managed a small smiled as he leaned around the couch with Tighnari next to him combing his tail

Everyone looked at eachother then shrugged "mmmm. Pass."

Alhaitham turned to look at Diluc and Kaveh yet the moment he looked he saw that Diluc was looking at him to..and..he was flipping Alhaitham off "You b—"

"Hm?" Tighnari turned to look at Alhaitham when he heard a mumble

"Nothing."

"Hey, mind coming with me real quick?" Kaveh slowly got off of Diluc and the cough "perhaps outside?"

"Diluc nodded his head and followed Kaveh's lead in getting up. The two walked outside under the porch light

...

"So..About this whole thing-"

"Look, I get this is confusing for you. But Venti came and got me saying you needed help with this whole situation. I'm sorry" Diluc gave a small smile to Kaveh, his voice was completely sincere

"Thank you for helping.. Really, but your truly playing the part-" Kaveh gave a nervous laugh as he reached back and let his hair loose

Diluc raised both his hands, to hold Kaveh's hair as he began massaging and playing with it

"That feels good..." Kaveh tilted his head back, allowing Diluc to do as he pleased

Diluc smiled and even a small blush spread on his face..He'd never been the type to like romance or even want to be involved with it..But this blonde certainly had his ways of attraction..All without trying.. "is that so?"

"Mhm.." Kaveh closed his eyes, keeping himself in a relaxed state for awhile till he opened them "how come you did it?"

"Did what?"

"Take on this role"

"Because I'm worried about you"

"Me? Why? I'm ok!"

"Are you?.. That's what you said back in Sumeru now look where you are.. I don't want you to run away again. And I'm worried about you with those boys. I know there your friends but what will happen if you go back to Sumeru? I don't want you getting in trouble.. And I don't want you to leave.. Nobody knows how you truly feel.. And I'm scared you don't even know how you feel Kaveh." Diluc brushed his hands through Kaveh's hair more, not even looking directly at his face

Kaveh looked off to the side..He needed to think about his response for this one. But he always had the same response. "I'm ok.. Really. I'm happy here! I don't plan on leaving.. I know you feel off with Alhaitham here but me and him talked. I told him I only want to be friends with him"

"I see.. That's a relief"

"You're not so bad y'know.."

"Hm? What's that supposed to mean?"

"You're not as hostile as I thought. You're always so serious and you keep to yourself.. I like being able to see this side of you.. Even if you're acting and you hate every second of it.. I like it"

"..If that's true.. Then as long as you like it and you're happy..I'll be this way forever.." Diluc took Kaveh's hand in his and pulled them close together..

...

What happened after that stuck in Kaveh's mind forever as he laid in bed.. Him and Diluc actually kissed.. Yes Diluc may have started it but he actually kissed the man back! Did he like Diluc? What was going on!?

In all honesty that wasn't the problem.. What the problem was is that.. Diluc was exactly like Alhaitham..
