~Kaveh x Alhaitham one shots~

//Just to see you smile (🖤-->💘)//

Alhaitham's POV:
I miss his smile. I never told him this. I never told him how much I appreciated him. I miss his laugh. I miss all the little kisses he would give me. I miss everything. I miss the way he would hug me each time I came home. I miss him. Now, we've just been growing more and more distant. I was trying to show him that I still loved him. But, that was so hard to do because he never accepted kindness directly. I had to be cruel to him.

"That looks like a waste of your time." "Seriously, Kaveh? That's one of the worst things you could've ever made." Ok. Now I understand why he won't smile at me anymore. Did I.. did I hurt him so badly? That's it. I can't take it anymore. I need to see his smile again.

Should I get him flowers? But, if I did? What flowers? ...Mourning flowers? Nope. No! I gave him so many during the beginning of our relationship, he deserves something more special. ...Qingxins! Qingxins. Of course! Qingxins. Qingxins have little heart shapes on their petals.

That might be excruciatingly cringe, but, Kaveh deserves something better than just Mourning flowers. I knew where I could get Qingxins. It was in the Sumeru market. There was this new flower vendor that gives flowers from all over the world. He wasn't home yet, so maybe, just maybe, I can get him to smile once he comes home.

I headed outside, rushing to the flower shop. "Hello there, sir! How may I help you?" The lady at the vendor said. She had brown hair, and green eyes, and wore traditional Mondstadian clothes instead of traditional Sumerian clothes. "Hello, I would like some Qingxins." "Ok!" They cost 100 mora." "Alright." I said as I pulled out the mora from my pocket. "Here." I said. I sounded calm on the outside, but in the inside I was freaking out. Panicking.

She gave me the flowers, and I ran back home. I opened our door. I knew that he still wasn't home. The time is only 3:30PM. He usually comes home at 4:30PM. That gives me an hour. Think, think, think. What would make Kaveh smile?

Maybe.. maybe kisses? But, he wouldn't like me kissing him as soon as he comes home. He wouldn't like that.. not after not even smiling at me in so long. Maybe.. maybe a nice setting? What about the house's lights being turned on, and the house smelling like chocolate chip cookies..? Hmm.. that does work. He loves when the house smells sweet.

Now.. now what else? Well.. I'm going to make cookies. So, I should probably make some warm drink to pair with it. Hot chocolate? Well, it is getting extremely cold in Sumeru. He would like that..? Yes. I think he would. He generally likes sweet foods, so.. maybe even more sweet things? A few chocolates? Ok.. that could work.

I start making the batter for the cookies, and start making the chocolates. A bit of chocolate chips, a bit more sugar.... Oh yeah, and I also need to start making the hot chocolate.

I place the chocolate chip cookies on a plate, and place the chocolates next to them, and place two cups of hot chocolate next to them on our center table. I grab some fluffy blankets and pillows, and place them perfectly on the couch.

Would he like this..? I sat myself down on the couch, and opened up my book. I couldn't properly concentrate on the words because my mind was on him. He was sitting in my mind the whole time. The only thing I could think of was his reaction. "Haitham.. did you really do this for me?" He would say, and blush would appear on his face. His lips would curve into a smile, and I could finally see his smile.

I would get up from the couch and kiss him. "'I did.. I did it all for you." He would smile even more, and hug me tight. It would feel like a dream.. it would feel so magical and perfect, electrifying.. I shook my head, and tried to concentrate on the words. "'Haitham, since when did you become such a good baker? These cookies taste so good!" He would say as his ruby red eyes light up. I would stare into his eyes, seeing my forever with him.

His lips would still be in a smile, and he would stare back at me- NO! Damn it, stop! I look back at my book, trying to read the words and pay attention to them. This scene was where the main character confessed to her love interest. "'I never thought I would fall for you, yet here I'am. I'm in love with you.. and I know that's stupid and-" and then her love interest kisses her.

That kinda reminds me of Kav- OH MY ARCHON, SHUT UP ALHAITHAM!.. I went back to reading the book. "'I love you too. I've been in love with you since we first met." Kaveh had said that to me. Kaveh had said that to me when we became a couple. I slammed my book shut, and put it next to me. I looked at the clock again. "4:20PM" 4:20. Great.. just a bit longer before he came home. I grabbed a pillow next to me and screamed into it. Why could I not get him out of my head?!

Kaveh's POV:
I began walking home, saying hi and bye occasionally to the people I knew. Life felt.. bland now. I didn't like it so much now. Alhaitham and I have just been ignoring each other more and more. It feels like we're drifting apart, like we're breaking apart.

I hate it. I hate how it feels. But, I'm to scared to talk to him about it. I don't wanna see how he would react. I just wish everything could go back to the way it was right after we started our relationship. All those cuddles and kisses, those late night talks, those sweet words, all those things that felt like magic. All gone now. I sighed, and walked home.

I twisted the key to our home; that for once, I hadn't forgotten. I opened the door to our house, only to find something far different than what I would usually come home to. I found Alhaitham sitting on our couch, reading a book. "O-Oh! You're home.." He said, looking away, blushing just a little. The house smelled like chocolates and cookies, some warm hot chocolate mixed into it.

"..Alhaitham.." I whispered under my breath as the red on my face spread. I had no words. "Alhaitham!" I yelled as I ran toward him and jumped into his arms. "Kav..Kaveh..?" Alhaitham muttered. I buried my face into his warm shoulder missing that feeling all to well. I missed touching him, I missed kissing him. Him and I were touch-starved.

He immediately wrapped his arms around me. We shared a warm embrace. One that felt perfect. So perfect in fact that neither of us wanted to let go. "'I love you.." I whispered into his ear. "'I love you more." He whispered back. I let go for a second, and pulled our faces closer together. "'I think that I love you more." I said, making our bottom and top lips touch.

He smiled as he placed a hand in my hair, using it to pull me into a kiss. "Mmph!" I yelped, although it was muffled. I closed my eyes.. I really missed this. I missed kissing his lips so much. I placed my hands on his shoulder, and Alhaitham wrapped his arms around me tighter. I couldn't even breathe, but I was running out of air.

We both parted our heads, panting. "Haitham.. thank you. Thank you for doing all of this for me." Alhaitham kissed my (face) cheek, and smiled. "'I wanted to show you I still love you." I giggled a bit. "You did a very good job, then." I said before kissing him again.
