yippee we are back after like what three months

warning! sweat kink ahead! and like one mildly spicy scene (it was spicier before but I edited to be a little more pg-13)

Alhaitham dropped the birdie and quickly smacked it with his racket, making it fly over the net. Diluc quickly received it and smashed it back, luckily Kaveh lunged forward and hit it lightly. The birdie gracefully fell over the net. One point for Sumeru.

The back and forth went for about fifteen minutes, Kavetham absolutely creaming the brothers, smashing the birdies like there's no tomorrow. As they smashed, the Sumeru boys' connection grew stronger, they were practically reading each other's minds. Eventually they did it. The score was 21-2. They had won.

(An aggressive reminder that this is a practice game and Diluc and Kaeya were probably not taking anything seriously)

Al haithy brought the bottom hem of his shirt up to wipe the sweat off his face, Kaveh glanced over at him and his jaw nearly dropped, his partners sculpted abs glistened with sweat, making them shine like the dew that coated the grass in the early morning.

Kaveh immediately got a huge throbbing boner, staring at his partner wipe the delicious succulent sweat off his chest. Kaveh lowkey wanted to drink some, imagining what it would be like to take his partner under him and just-

This was wrong. Kaveh shook his head frantically, attempting to shake the lewd thoughts that plagued his mind. Of course it didn't work. He turned back to glance at his partner again, he was cleaning the handle of his racket, using a cloth to wipe the handle up and down, using his toned, veiny hands to efficiently wipe any sweat off. His motions were smooth, concise, and totally ruining the poor Kaveh, who was barely holding it together. Of course, all good things must come to an end, as ALhaitham turned to look at the blonde, "Kaveh, I think it's about lunch time. We should go grab some food" he said, his face as straight and emotionless as usual, completely contrasting Kavehs flushed and slightly sweating face. "One moment, I need to go to the bathroom!" Kaveh replied shakily, motioning towards the bathroom. Alhaitham shrugged and Kaveh ran off. He needed to 'take care' of the ever so obvious tent in his pants.

Around twenty minutes later, Kaveh had returned from his private time, dressed in a normal outfit... at least in his standard, so people around him looked like an english teacher who had discovered pinterest. Alhaitham of course looked normal as he could, nothing but a tee shirt and jeans. The two had met up in front of the hotel they were staying at, since Alhaitham had overheard Cyno talking about this fun bar he found nearby with Tighnari and he wanted to go check it out himself. He was never a fan of bars, the loud music and even louder people tend to hurt his ears, but he figured it would be a fun treat for Kaveh and him, since they did so well in the practice game. Which made him wonder what kind of even funner treats he would have in store for Kaveh when they actually started the tournament.

Kaveh looked at him curiously, since he never actually told him WHERE they were going for lunch, all he said was "good job with the game, you surprised me, meet me later outside the hotel" but before he could say anything, Alhaitham lifted his hand, indicating for Kaveh to shut his pretty little mouth up. "We're going out for drinks, my treat." he said monotonously. Kavehs face lit up. Yay! Free drinks! He practically starts drooling at the thought of free beer, GOD he loved alcohol. "Can we go now? As in start walking now? Please?" Kaveh asked with stars in his eyes.

Alhaitham knew full good and well Kaveh was going to get black out drunk and he figured it would certainly be an... interesting experience. And it's not like it would be the first time, he regularly had to drive Kaveh home from bars for reasons he didn't know. One minute he would be sitting and reading a book, the next minute he'd be getting a call from an oh so drunk Kaveh telling him to pick his drunk ass up. Every single time, he had wanted to just leave him, but there was a very teeny tiny part of him that was worried Kaveh might end up in some stranger's bed, so he had always begrudgingly obliged to Kaveh's requests. Also, if Kaveh got kidnapped or something, it wouldn't be very good for their badminton reputation. Yes, that was it, he was just worried about his reputation, not that fact that Kaveh could be fucking someone other than him–
