Both Tighnari and Cyno meet in the most unexpected possible way.
In the common bathroom of a prison!
Cyno knew that he desires Tighnari the moment his eyes fell on him.
- Where... did he go?
- I can't believe that he left just like that.
- I will...
Cyno drove the car with Tighnari sitting right beside him. The sun was still in the sky but it was almost the time for sunset. He was dressed up more or less casually. Tighnari was not fully covered up in masks and hoodies either. But he still wore a dress that covered him up well.
"Where are we going?", Tighnari asked.
"You'll see once we reach", Cyno replied. Tighnari rested his chin on the palm of his hand by the window of the car and looked outside. He didn't realize when, but he ended up falling asleep.
And the next moment when his sleep broke, he opened his eyes to Cyno kissing his neck all over. He immediately flinched.
"You!- what are you doing?"
Cyno gave a smirk. "Did that wake you up?", he moved up to Tighnari's face and kissed him. "Did you have a good sleep?"
Tighnari's flustered face was simply adorable. Cyno stopped teasing him and moved away. He opened the car door and got out, walked round all the way and opened the door for Tighnari on the other side.
"Step outside my dear prince", he said and gave Tighnari his hand for escort.
"What is this... why the sudden prince treatment?"
"Am I not always doing things all of a sudden?", Cyno questioned back. Tighnari giggled. He held Cyno's hand and stepped out of the car.
The sun was on its way to the west.
Cyno suddenly looked out a blindfold and made Tighnari wear it. "I can't see anything!"
"You don't have to. Just let me guide you", Cyno said and picked Tighnari up from the ground. Tighnari felt a bit suspicious about all this.
Cyno seemed to be carrying him forever.
"Have we not reached yet?", Tighnari asked.
"We are here", Cyno replied and made Tighnari stand up. He held his hand and made him walk just a bit more before taking off the blindfold.
The moment he did, Tighnari's eyes got blinded by the sudden brightness. He squinted them but slowly opened them. "THIS- Its The..."
"The border of Sumeru and Liyue", Cyno completed and looked at the sky. "Look ahead Nari"
Tighnari looked at the sky and immediately he could feel his heart becoming lighter. The sun was setting. And Tighnari had never seen a sight so breathtaking before.

The reflection of the sun on the water, the cliffs and the huge birch tree about which he had only read in books- Tighnari could not look away from all of it.
And Cyno could not look away from Tighnari. The sunset and the water, everything seemed so insignificant. Nothing stood a chance. Everyone would be mesmerized by the scenic beauty and yet all that Cyno could look at were those eyes admiring the sun. Those beautiful strands of hair which fluttered wildly in the wind and that subtle sense of relief on Tighnari's face.
