there’s was something inherently intimate about it, writing a letter in a language unknown to many but them. kaeya had been an impressive tutor and alhaitham, with as sharp a tongue as his mind, had not hesitated to candidly inform him of such. he had memorised the way kaeya’s mouth subtly curved as he laughed, the praise accept but disregarded in favour of regarding him as a diligent student. of course he was, how could he be anything but when it was kaeya’s commanding presence at the helm of such a study.

He offers him the parchment, their meeting perhaps more transient that he would like but not openly admit, the ribbon tied so delicately that it spoke of the scholar’s attentive hands. “ it’s your birthday.” It’s a statement but his eyes lower to gaze upon the familiar contours of his fingers as he accepts the gift. It was as insightful as saying what do you get someone as enigmatic as kaeya, someone who has what they want or would at the least assert that they did. When their eyes meet again there’s a fluster that rises to his cheeks so uncharacteristic alhaitham chooses to wilfully ignore it. “ So, consider this my heartfelt gift for such an occasion.” Which would have felt condescending in that ever present tone of his until someone looked within and saw the attention to detail, the utter dedication it took to write somewhat of a letter of affection in kaeya’s native tongue. “ happy birthday, Calvary captain.”

happy birthday, kaeya. ��

Being handed a letter, the Cavalry Captain raised a blue brow as he gazed at the sealed parchment. It was clearly written and closed with immense care, if the sweet ribbon was anything to go by. A gentle, indulgent smile pulled at a corner of his lips, his gaze lifting to meet the scholar’s as the star within his eye twinkled with mirth, but also fondness.

“Indeed, it is… How’d you come across this information, I wonder?” he jested, his voice giving way to nothing but amusement. The way his beloved sage’s cheeks tinted with a light dust of red caused the Mondstadtian’s heart to soften at the sight, wanting nothing more than to press his cool lips to his warm skin. He refrained, however, as he didn’t want to risk disparaging the gift Haitham took time in writing for him.

A soft hum left him as his curiosity piqued further. Normally he’s one to open gifts in the privacy of his home or office, or at least somewhere away from prying eyes—but this time… Something about this one made him want nothing more than to open it now.

Gently untying the dainty ribbon, he held it in his hand before unfolding the letter. Upon reading the first few words his expression shifted to one of great, yet pleasant, surprise. Leave it to Alhaitham to write such a heartfelt letter full of tender and endearing sentiments in a language long lost to the annals of time. He can tell the scribe took great care in trying to convey his thoughts and feelings using a tongue that he had learned so well and improved exponentially during the time Kaeya tutored him.

“Oh—shona,” he whispered, his voice a touch breathless from the feelings that overtook him. That twinkling star within his tanzanite iris grew into a delicate diamond, his eye shining with the emotions that threatened to spill. He allowed a small tear to shed as an enamored, albeit wet, laugh left him. Shifting closer towards the taller man, he held the letter and ribbon in one hand, while the other lifted itself to cup Haitham’s cheek. Leaning in, he pressed a loving kiss to his lips that gave way to naught but utter adoration, affection, and ardor.

“Thank you, amor meus.”
