Al-tighnari redesign by me!!
Me happy about Tighnari being the first character with an Arabic name to be introduced(being an Arab myself and enjoying the rep), prompted me to find out the inspiration behind him and his design. I came across a FandomWiki forum saying that Genshin Tighnari was inspired by a real life botanist/poet from Andalusia. I immediately had to go check and found that it was true! There was in fact a poet named Ibn Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Malek Almuri Altighnari-- Altighnari being a nickname in reference to the poet originating from a small village called Tighnar just north of Granada, Spain. But despite Andalusia having been an Arab-conforming place at the time (at the time of the Islmaic reign) the fashion was not plausible to be the true reference for in-game Tighnari's clothes. They were rather simple, although being the source of many other traditional clothes in the East. but it made more sense that the clothes originated from Easter Africa than Spain because Sumeru's forest is mainly based off of Persia and Morocco, and it's desert area being based off of Egypt. So I searched through the these exact places, their traditional clothes, and I studied each similarity, excluding Egyptian clothes cause I already know what those look like (way too far fetched for this qjhsnjaks) I had high hopes for Morocco's clothes, until I found that there were many missing details and too many iterations for their style to properly compare them to Tighnari's outfit's and its supposed source of inspiration. there was no large belt and no strange ropes. Til then I had come across another sadly debunked FandomWiki forum saying that Tighnari could have Amazigh origins, but despite, I believed it for a while actually! it was the most (if not the only) plausible answer, seing as how despite Al-tighnari and the Amazigh being from two completely opposite regions, it held more possibility that the cultural clothes that belonged to them could be the inspiration for Tiggi bois outfit. I was very fixated on studying just general Amazigh style clothing, but BUT THEN I came across one particular photo that had an outfit EXACTLY like Tighnari's and I went BINGO!! there was everything, the excessive misc, the colorful ropes, the wide belt and the strange accessories. I FOUND IT FOLKS!!! TIGHNARI IS BASED OFF OF TUAREG CULTURE!!! The tuareg people of the desert whose attire never fails to wow me. it's so colorful and lively it's actually so pretty!! So upon all this, I decided to recreate Tighnari's design to my liking to make him look more authentic!!
TADAA!!!
I kept some aspects of his original outfit, like most of the colors and the misc, but I also added many cultural touches!! the jellabah (dress), the headscarf and the traditional jewelery worn by women! I thought I would be a nice touch :D
if it wasn't for his ears, Tighnari's head would be fully covered, but hey, stylization is valid!!
Only a genius could love a woman like she
I'm a ge-ge-ge-ge-ge-ge-genius
It's been a while, so... guess what? A headcanon! (Genshin Impact ver.)
Mondstadt stuff first!
Albedo was adopted by Alice about two years before Klee was born. Hence why Klee calls him 'big brother'.
Dvalin is genderfluid, literally. It can switch gender at will.
Diluc fake-dated Jean and Kaeya fake-dated Lisa for a while so none of them would have to come out.
Windwheel Aster actually spin like pinwheels.
Diluc has a pet hairless cat whose name is Rhine.
Next is Liyue!
Qingxin flowers have a few medicinal uses: When dried and used in poultices or serums, they are potent painkillers, but if they are fresh, mashing them and using them the same way turns them into an aphrodisiac.
Xiao may no longer have wings in his human form, nor can he shift into his full adeptus form, but he can shift into a small, rather chubby turquoise finch.
Hu Tao plays the hammered dulcimer, Chongyun plays the gu zheng, Zhongli is proficient with the upright bass but rarely plays, Xingqiu plays the koto and the organ, Xiao knows how to play the panflute, and Keqing plays the erhu.
Inazuma, bitch!
As a general rule, the archons' familiars have a beast form and a human form. As it applies to Yae Miko, her beast form is a 9-foot-tall nine-tailed kitsune. Dvalin's human form is a 5'8" woman with pale skin, turquoise hair, and dark purple-pink eyes.
Ayaka has a pet owl named Minji, but Minji likes Ayato more than Ayaka.
Itto sometimes paints his horns with Shinobu's nail polish.
That is all for now, lovelies! Sumeru, Fontaine, and Natlan will come soonish, don't worry.

Masterlist
Alhaitham
It takes him a little while to warm up to it, but he loves cuddling with you when he’s about to fall asleep.
He’ll be reading a book while you lay down on his chest, an arm draped over your back as you sleep.
He occasionally looks down to make sure that you’re sleeping peacefully.
Yes, he will throw the book at Kaveh if he comes into the room to say anything. No, it doesn’t matter what it is that Kaveh wants to say, he’s still getting a book thrown at him.
After a while of reading, Alhaitham also gets tired, and decides to call it a night.
He always whispers words of comfort in your ear as you drift off, and plays with your hair once you’ve fallen asleep.
Another habit of his is that he’ll run his fingers through your hair as you sleep, which soothes him almost as much as it does you. It helps with the stress he feels after a long day of work.
Diluc
You have to drag him to bed the first time you want to do this with him.
However, once he finds out how warm and fuzzy he feels inside every time he holds you like this, he’s willing to go to bed with you the moment you ask.
He loves physical touch, it’s comforting to him when he can make sure that you’re there and that you’re really, truly in his arms.
If you run your fingers through his hair while you lay on top of him, he’ll absolutely melt.
It generally takes him longer to fall asleep since he’s so alert all the time, but it’s also because he wants to make sure you’re alseep before he is.
His bird has a perch by the window in case it ever needs to leave the Winery. The window stays slightly cracked open unless it’s Winter and it’s freezing outside.
Then again, the cold is all the more reason to snuggle up to him, isn’t it?
Kaeya
He immediately falls in love with the idea of cuddling with you when you fall asleep, and instantly starts doing so.
Kaeya always holds at least one of your hands, but will also have the unoccupied arm around your waist.
He’s actually very warm for someone so lithe. You’d expect him to be freezing most nights, but it’s usually quite the opposite.
However, he has mean bedhead, and he also moves around a lot in his sleep.
He likes to cuddle after a long work day when he’s absolutely floored because of how much he had to do.
Kaeya also likes to trace little shapes in your back and see if you can guess what they are.
He’s just a romantic like that.
Zhongli
He’s a very good cuddle buddy. He’s very warm, and his voice is what puts you to sleep most of the time.
That’s not to say that he doesn’t treasure the quieter moments between the two of you.
Nine times out of ten, you fall asleep in his lap while he’s reading a book.
The other times are when he’s telling you a story or talking about his day while the two of you lay in bed together.
His love language is physical touch and I will die on this hill.
If you’re having trouble sleeping, he’ll make you some tea or read you the book he’s reading.
He’ll also run his fingers through your hair as he’s speaking to try and soothe you further to sleep.
It almost always works.
Xiao
He’s scared to have you sleep on him at first.
Xiao doesn’t want to harm you in any way with his Karmic Debt, but eventually, after you persist for weeks, he obliges, and lets you lay down against him.
He warms up to the idea of you sleeping on him very quickly, and soon enough, he starts asking you to join him when he sleeps.
He likes it when you run your fingers through his hair. If you do it long enough, he’ll fall asleep before you.
Sometimes, whenever his Karmic Debt gets to be a little too much, he’ll lay down on you and hold onto you until it passes and he starts to feel better.
Xiao also likes to massage your back to try and soothe you if you let him, acts of service is his love language.
He cherishes every moment he’s with you, and moments like these are the ones he holds closest to his heart.
Childe
Good luck getting him to stay still. He needs to be doing stuff every waking moment he has.
However, if you ask really nicely, he’ll join you in bed and hold you.
He likes to talk, so get ready to talk even if you’re only half awake.
All jokes aside, he loves physical touch. That and acts of service are his love languages.
Childe is grateful for the times that you take care of him after a particularly rough day of work and fighting, and it shows in the way he holds you so close to him when the two of you rest together.
He likes to rest with you directly on top of him or with your head on his chest, while he has his arms wrapped around you to keep you close.
After all, he cherishes you like family, and the way he holds you reflects that perfectly.
Alhaitham x Diluc and Kaeya’s Sibling!reader headcanons
Notes: This idea has been knocking around my brain for like a month now and I can’t get this man out of my head now H E L P.
Masterlist
Warnings: Slightly suggestive, also spoilers for Diluc’s backstory utc.
Misc. headcanons of mine:
My personal headcanon is that reader is Diluc’s twin and is older by like two minutes, and they hold it over his head and baby him because they just know it annoys him.
But please, for the love of all of Teyvat, don’t introduce Alhaitham to Diluc first.
I headcanon that Alhaitham and current Diluc would hate each other.
To the point where you can’t leave them in a room together alone because only one of them is coming out alive and it sure as hell isn’t going to be Diluc.
If you were to start dating Alhaitham before Crepus’ death, that’s a whole other story, because Crepus would still be there to tell them that, no, they can’t just murder him for dating their sibling.
All things considered, I think that Alhaitham would actually really sincerely respect Crepus but he’d also bully the everloving hell out of Diluc and Kaeya.
Kaeya’s patience is much better than Diluc’s, but they both tolerate him until Crepus leaves.
You can only watch as the two hiss death threats at him and then immediately go back to pretending to actually tolerate him once Crepus gets back.
However, on the other hand, if you were to start dating Alhaitham after Crepus’ death, things would be very different.
For one, Kaeya would probably actually get along with Alhaitham because they both love to piss Diluc off.
Unfortunately, that also means that Alhaitham and Diluc start off on the wrong foot and it’s all downhill from there.
How Alhaitham met them:
I imagine that the way he first met Diluc and Kaeya was at the Cat’s Tail, where he was playing TCG with Kaveh and the others.
The only problem with this was the fact that you were there and you were hugging his arm as he played against Kaveh, a game that the ladder was horrifically losing.
Diluc and Kaeya hadn’t seen you in ages for anything other than Mondstadt’s annual festivals, and you definitely hadn’t spoken to them during those times, so to see you after all this time with a significant other didn’t exactly rub them the right way.
However, when they saw the one you were with gently and slowly pull you into his lap, that was when they knew you wouldn’t look their way or notice that they were there.
They eventually left the tavern, but committed the man’s face to memory.
Lo and behold, they ran into him the next day, and things only got worse from there because, surprise surprise, Alhaitham was alone and also in a bad mood to top it off.
Your relationship with Alhaitham and how you two met:
You first met Alhaitham during his Akademiya days when he decided to take a trip to Mondstadt, around the age of 16.
He was doing a self study on Mondstadt’s ruin mechanisms and puzzles to see if he could make a breakthrough with the ruin puzzles in the desert and you were intrigued.
You, being an adventurer who was very well versed in solving said ruin puzzles, you had him join you on commissions that had to do with said mechanisms.
your friendship only grew from there, and you soon stopped hearing only talk of studies and started hearing more talk of the place he lived: Sumeru.
You’d always wanted to go there, and your father had told you that once you were 18, you could travel wherever you wanted to.
And that’s exactly what you did after Lisa advised going to Sumeru because she had good experiences there with the people and whatnot.
You didn’t know whether or not he even remembered you, but the moment you saw Alhaitham again, everything came rushing back to you both and soon enough, you two had started dating.
All things considered, he’s actually very attentive to your needs and wants.
You feel tired? Go ahead and sleep, he’ll wake you up in a couple of hours if you want him to.
You need help with a difficult commission? Sure thing, just let him get done with this last document he’s checking and you’ll be on your way with him in tow.
He’s very touchy in private to make up for his aloofness in public.
You usually find his arms around your waist whenever you’re sitting down, or you find yourself in his lap whenever he’s reading a book.
Usually it stays that way unless you’re both in the mood to do other things on any given evening.
The first time you meet Kaveh, the two of you hit it off almost instantly and he struggles to make sure they you two don’t both do something stupid whenever you’re around each other.
He usually invites you to join him on nights where he’s going out to Lambad’s Tavern, and on the off chance that there aren’t any chairs left for you to take a seat, there’s always the option to sit in his lap.
Siblings (Alhaitham x Diluc and Kaeya’s sibling! Reader
Notes: I felt like I had to write a scenario for this because it was too good of an opportunity to do so. Kept it gn since that’s what I had for the original post of this idea but I hope you all enjoy!
Masterlist
Alhaitham scowled as you spoke, not at you, never at you. He was scowling at the counter as you spoke to him. His attention was diverted back to you as you gently took his hands into yours. “We only have to be in Mondstadt for a week. It’s for the Windblume Festival and I never miss a single one, and… are you mad at me? You seem angry.” You asked, looking up at him as his gaze softened and he shook his head. “No, I’m just slightly annoyed is all.” He replied. “Annoyed about what?” You asked. “There’s going to be a lot of people, and I don’t exactly know your family all that well outside of the things you yourself have told me. I’m annoyed about the fact that, of all occasions, this is the one thing I genuinely don’t know how to properly prepare for.” He answered, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning against the counter with a sigh. “Oh, I didn’t know you were nervous. I would have reassured you if I’d known sooner, Haitham.” You said, gently placing a hand against his cheek. He reached up and put his own hand over yours, leaning into your touch. “I promise you that whatever happens, I won’t just stop dating you for their sake.” You reassured him, using your other hand to guide him to lean down as you pressed your lips against his. “Now then, we need to pack tonight, because we have to leave early tomorrow morning in order to get to the Dawn Winery in time for the start of the festival.” You said, slowly withdrawing your hands from his face and turning on your heel to go to your room. He sighed as he looked at where you’d disappeared off to, looking up at the ceiling. “Lesser Lord Kusanali, give me the patience to deal with this one’s family, please.” He muttered to himself. He knew that today would be a long one full of preparation for when the two of you left.
You walked hand in hand with Alhaitham almost the entire way to Mondstadt, a soft smile on your face as you hummed a tune he’d never heard before. You’d donned regular Mondstadter attire, which he noticed immediately. However, he also noticed that you were more anxious than before as the two of you got closer to Mondstadt, but kept brushing off his attempts to find out why with a small “I’m fine, really” but he knew that wasn’t even close to the truth. He decided to ask one last time before giving it a rest. “Please tell me what’s plaguing your mind. I want to help you if I can.” he said, giving your hand a gentle squeeze. You knew that this softer side of him was for you and you only, and that brought you comfort. “I just don’t know how they’ll react to you, since it’s been so long since I last saw the two of them. I know they still care about me, but the reason I left was because the constant arguing and bickering was a bit too much for me. I don’t want to get you dragged into that as well.” you admitted, looking at the entrance to Stone Gate. Alhaitham slowed down to a stop at the pier just before the entrance. He led you to a table and sat beside you, taking your hands into his and looking at you. “I will try my best not to be argumentative with the two of them for your sake if I recognize them, I promise.” He reassured you, watching as you nodded hesitantly after a minute or two. “Thank you, I know it kind of cramps your style, but I really need this.” you said, hugging him. Alhaitham wrapped his arms around you and hugged you back, before slowly lowering his arms as he spoke. “Now then, let’s get going, they’re probably waiting for us at your place.” he advised, holding his hand out for you to take. Without further delay, you both finally crossed the threshold to Stone Gate, and made your way a little further to the Dawn Winery.
Not much had changed about your old home since you last saw it. The only real difference was the fact that there were some decorations for Windblume hung on the lamp posts and the windowsills of the winery. You reached into your shirt and fished out a key on your necklace chain, fitting it into the lock and turning it until a soft click reached your ears. You then gently pushed open the doors and walked into the place. The smell of mahogany and fire reached your nose as you took a deep breath and sighed. “Well, welcome to my abode, we can set our stuff upstairs in my room if you want to.” you proposed. “No, you can’t, but I’ll be happy to take it upstairs for you, dear.” a familiar voice said behind you. You smiled softly and turned around, only to be greeted by the face of Adelinde. “Addie, you know I don’t like to trouble you.” you tried, but she shook her head. “Now, now, Master Kaeya already tried that excuse, and he got an earful during Weinlesefest because he tried not to “be a bother” to me. I haven’t seen you in almost a year, and I’m not about to be told by anyone that I can’t spoil you now. You’ve been gone for far too long, and me and Elzer have missed your lively chatter. Not to mention that you haven’t introduced me to this gentleman behind you yet, either.” she scolded, before taking your bags from your hands and carrying them up to your room. She then came back down and took Alhaitham’s bags from his hands, carrying them upstairs to your room as well. Once she got back downstairs, she dusted herself off a little and clasped her hands together. “Now then, tell me everything. I want to know who this is.” she said, gesturing to Alhaitham. “Well, about that...” you started, and kept going from there, telling her everything that had happened during the time you were in Sumeru.
“And that’s when he finally asked me on a date. But enough about me, how have Diluc and Kaeya been?” you asked, looking at her. Adelinde sighed deeply, before gesturing for you to follow her to the sitting area. “As you know, your brothers haven’t been on very good terms for a while now, but they have recently started talking more to one another. It turns out that Miss Lisa is the one to blame for that because, from what Master Diluc tells me, she saw the two of you on a date together in Sumeru City when she was there for her vacation days.” she explained, watching as you sighed deeply. “Wonderful, she saw us.” you grumbled, causing her to laugh. “Anyways, you two ought to head to the city, the festival is about to start soon.” she advised, watching as you nodded. Alhaitham got up first and gently took your hand into his, helping you up from your seat and holding the door for you as you bid Adelinde farewell until that evening.
You walked to the city and greeted Swan and Lawrence at the gates, waving to the two of them and then walking alongside Alhaitham as you gave him a tour of the place you grew up in. He followed you to the cathedral, and looked around the place before his eyes landed on a Fatuus near the doors. He brushed it off and then followed you out the doors as he spoke. “Things here are very different from Sumeru City. For one, this city is much smaller in comparison, but there are no altars or cathedrals to celebrate our god as you do yours. Rani Kusanali has no statue save for her Statues of the Seven around Sumeru. Furthermore, the weather here is colder than it is in Sumeru, not that I’m complaining, we don’t have snow capped mountains like you do.” he said, pointing to Dragonspine. “Do you want to see it if we have the time? It’s very beautiful this time of year.” you offered, causing him to shake his head. “I’d rather stay down here where it’s warm, but if you insist, I suppose we could go for a little bit.” he replied, watching as your face lit up with joy. “Wonderful, we’ll go tomorrow then, since we’ll be spending today in the city, if that’s alright with you.” you said, causing him to nod his agreement.
Your next stop was the Knights of Favonius headquarters, and you immediately dragged him to the library. “She better be here.” you mumbled under your breath. You pushed open the door and were greeted by the sight of Lisa’s empty desk and several stacks of unorganized books, with a note sitting on the desk that read: out for afternoon tea, be back in an hour. -Lisa. You sighed before looking around the library, and then back at Alhaitham. “It would seem that Lisa learned of our arrival and planned to avoid us today.” you huffed, before smiling. “However, I might as well welcome you to the Knights of Favonius library. I know it’s not nearly as grand as the House of Daena, but it’s got plenty of good novels and linguistics books. If you’d like, we can read for a bit.” you proposed, causing him to shake his head. “It’s alright, I know you want to make sure that my social battery doesn’t run out before this evening, but I’m fine. Besides, it doesn’t run out as fast as you’d think.” Alhaitham said, causing you to nod. “Thank you.” you muttered, burying your face in your hands. “Now then, it’s almost lunch time, and you said that you knew about this place you liked that’s here in the city. You can tell me the rest of our plans for the day over something to eat.” he said, causing you to nod. “Ok, then next stop, Good Hunter.” you replied.
“Welcome to Good Hunter, what would you- Oh, (Y/N), it’s been a while. How have you been?” Sara asked. “Hey, Sara, I’ve been good. Um, could we get a table for two please?” you asked, causing her to nod. “Sure, I’ll have your menus out in a moment, you can choose any table to sit at if you’d like.” she replied, turning to get them. You took Alhaitham to a table and sat down in the chair across from him, before hearing someone clear their throat behind you. You turned around and saw Amber and Eula, the ladder slightly glaring at you. “(Y/N), it’s been forever since I last saw you. Me and Eula were just about to get some lunch from here, do you mind if we join you and whoever this is?” she asked, causing you to nod in response. Alhaitham watched as Eula sat down beside you, while Amber sat beside him. “So, how has your time in Sumeru been? Have you met Collei yet?” Amber asked, smiling brightly at you. “Well, I did briefly see her, but when I did, she talked almost nonstop about you when she found out I was a Mondstadter.” you replied, before listening to her ramble on about her time with Collei. “Ahem, if I may, who exactly is this?” Eula asked, gesturing to Alhaitham. “Ah, yes, this is Alhaitham, we’ve been dating for almost three years now.” you replied, causing Eula to sigh deeply. “Not telling us about your relationship, such a transgression shan’t go unnoticed. Mark my words, (Y/N), vengeance will be-” “Hold on a sec, I had reason not to tell the Knights of Favonius, just please hear me out before you swear to get back at me.” you tried, causing her to slouch back slightly in her chair and relax. “Go on then, plead your case.” she said. “You two work with Kaeya on a daily basis, I couldn’t risk a slip of the tongue to him or Diluc when neither of us were ready to tell them.” you explained, causing Amber to nod. “They do have a point, I mainly report to Captain Kaeya or Jean, both of whom are close to Diluc, and I often just talk about my day and what I’ve heard around the city when I’m not on patrol. You mainly go to the Angels’ Share during your break, which is where both Master Diluc and the Cavalry Captain usually are at that hour. We often talk to them, so I can see where you’re coming from.” Amber said, looking at you. You and Alhaitham kept talking and eating with the two Knights until lunch hour was over and they had to return to work.
You and Alhaitham spent the rest of the day walking around Mondstadt and seeing everything before the sun had finally started to set over the horizon. Just as you were about to enter the tavern, you realized something. “I forgot to get my bag at the Winery.” You said, before turning around and then looking at Alhaitham. “You can head in if you’d like. I’ll be back in a few minutes.” You called, running off to get to the winery. Alhaitham was about to follow you, but decided against it at the last minute, and turned the handle of the door to the Angels’ Share.
Diluc was cleaning a wine glass when someone sat at the bar, taking out a book as he started to read. Kaeya was in his usual spot at the bar, leaning against the counter when the man sat down. “Oh, a new face? What’s your name, good sir?” Kaeya asked, watching him closely. The stranger lowered the book and looked over at him. “Alhaitham.” He replied curtly. “Sounds like a Sumeru name? Is that where you’re from?” Kaeya asked. “Yes, I’m the Akademiya’s Scribe.” He replied, watching as Diluc set down the glass and started to listen. “Well now, what is someone from Sumeru doing all the way in Mondstadt?” He asked, watching as his facial expression softened slightly. “My significant other and I have been dating for almost three years now. They wanted to introduce me to their family during the Windblume Festival.” He explained, noting how Kaeya’s smirk grew wider. “If you’re anything like the rest of those sensitive scholars from the Akademiya, then there aren’t exactly that many people who want to meet you, Scribe Alhaitham.” Diluc commented. Alhaitham smirked at him. “Unlike them, you’ll find that I don’t particularly care what my superiors think of me, nor do I have such hopelessly little street smarts like they do. They may have a degree, but that means nothing if you’re getting mugged in the streets of Port Ormos by Eremites.” He said, before hearing Kaeya chuckle. “What about your significant other’s family? Do they also apply to your disregard for the opinions of others?” He asked. Alhaitham shook his head. “There are certain cases where that doesn’t apply, and to answer your question, yes and no. I would respect their family members to an extent. From what they’ve told me, their siblings didn’t exactly regard their feelings very much while they lived here after a tragedy that happened a few years ago. I am a bit torn on what to do as far as that goes. However, the only thing that I really wish I got to do was meet their father before he passed.” He said, startling them both. “What was their father’s name?” Diluc asked, both he and Kaeya waiting with baited breath.
“Their father’s name was Crepus. I heard that he was a very kind man.” He said, looking at the two of them. Diluc spoke first. “There’s no way you’re dating (Y/N). Someone as cold and stoic as you, dating them? That’s the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever heard. They’re so lively and bright and you’re… not.” Diluc said. “Are you implying that that’s the type of person someone as closed off and cold as yourself would like?” He challenged. Diluc leveled a glare on him as the two started an unspoken staring contest. Diluc looked away and grumbled to himself. However, before he could get another word in, the door to the Tavern swung open to reveal you. “Sorry, I got to the Winery and found my bag but Elzer stopped me to talk to me.” You admitted. “Ah, (Y/N), it’s wonderful to see you again. How have you been lately?” Kaeya asked. “I’ve been good, things in Sumeru are very different compared to Mondstadt, but it’s so beautiful, and it’s very warm there, too. Plus, from what I’ve heard,” you started, looking at Diluc, “there are very good spiced cocktails in Sumeru, and the food there is delicious. Plus, there’s a lot more old technology from Khaenri’ah in the desert that you don’t find in Mond. Here, hold on, I have photos.” You said, grabbing a photo album out of your bag. You handed it to Kaeya, who looked through the photos. After a minute or two, he smirked. “So, Collei lives in Sumeru then? You ought to show Amber these photos, she’s often worried about her, you know.” He said, handing the album to Diluc. “I didn’t know you had so many friends in Sumeru.” He remarked. “Ah, I forgot to introduce you to them, sorry.” You apologized, turning to Alhaitham and taking the barstool beside him. “This is Alhaitham, my boyfriend of three years. He’s the Akademiya’s Scribe.” You said, as Alhaitham took a mental note of the fact that you introduced him as your boyfriend first. “We know. May I ask how much he paid you to pretend to be his lover?” Diluc asked, narrowing his eyes at you. You leveled a glare at him as you spoke. “He didn’t pay me, and you have no right to judge something you yourself don’t have.” You mocked, causing him to give a confused look. “What are you implying?” He asked, a challenge of sorts hidden in his words. “I’m implying, you reckless recluse, that you yourself don’t have a lover, so you have no right to judge mine.” You replied, wrapping your arms around Alhaitham’s bicep as you spoke. “Besides, I’m happy with him, that’s much more important. I will not argue with you about this during the Windblume Festival or ever after about this, it would be a waste of both of our time.” You said. “Personally, if I may, you’re not that bad of a person. Yes, you do tend to be blunt, but I feel as though you genuinely care about how (Y/N) feels and about their opinion, so as far as things go for me, I have no qualms with you dating them.” Kaeya said, watching with a smirk on his face as Diluc scowled at him. He then looked back at you, who was still staring at him. “You seriously like him?” He asked, causing you to nod. “Is there any way I can convince you to leave him?” He asked, watching as you shook your head no. With a deep sigh, Diluc finally gave in and spoke. “Very well, I suppose I can tolerate hosting you at my place then.” He said, putting away the last glass of the evening and grabbing his coat from the coat rack.
After Diluc closed up the Angels’ Share for the night and said goodbye to Kaeya, he walked with you and Alhaitham to the Dawn Winery, looking over at you as you held Alhaitham’s hand. He was surprised when you’d said that you had a lover, let alone someone from Sumeru, but he started to see why you started dating him in the first place. The moment you shivered from the cold night air, Diluc watched as the man beside you took off his cape and gently draped it over your shoulders. “I’ll be fine.” Was all he said when you turned to look at him. The three of you walked in relative silence, with you talking to either Alhaitham or Diluc along the way.
The moment you got to the Dawn Winery, you pushed open the doors and stepped inside, looking around and fully taking in the look of the manor this time. “You’ve changed a few things.” You observed, taking Alhaitham’s cloak off and handing it back to him. He took it with a nod of thanks, hanging it on the coat rack by the door. He then looked around and saw that there was a meal on the table. “It’s still warm if you’d all like to take a seat.” Adelinde offered, looking over at them from the doorway. “Thank you, Adelinde.” Diluc said, taking his seat at the table as you took yours and Alhaitham took his next to you. He nodded to Adelinde as he spoke. “Thank you for the meal.” He said, watching Diluc with a slightly cautious look in his eyes as he ate. When the three of you were done eating, Adelinde took the dishes away and you all went upstairs to get ready for bed.
Once you and Alhaitham were alone, you turned around and gently cupped his face in your hands as you spoke. “Are you alright? I know that was a bit… tense.” You asked, watching as he nodded softly. “I’ll be fine, but what I really need is sleep, I’m exhausted.” He muttered, looking up at you as he sat down on the bed. You nodded softly and grabbed your nightclothes from your suitcase, changing into them quickly before getting in the bed next to him. You felt his arms around your waist and looked back at him, smiling softly. You rolled over to face him and pressed yourself closer to him, wrapping your arms around his neck. “I love you, Haitham.” You whispered, watching as he looked down at you and smiled. “I… I love you too.” He replied, hiding his face in your hair as he spoke. “Aww, are you getting all blushy on me now?” You teased, causing him to huff softly before pulling back and pressing his lips against yours. Your eyes widened before you closed them and melted into his touch, kissing him back. “Go to sleep.” He muttered, holding you close as he closed his eyes. You drifted off with him, enjoying the blissful quiet shared between the two of you in this moment.
"He tilts his head forward, pressing it against Kaeya’s shoulder, and it’s all he can do not to break down sobbing with relief."
