This wasn't how it usually went.
Usually, Alhaitham had to go to Lambad’s to drag Kaveh home. He would tap Kaveh on the back a few times, get verbally berated for a few minutes for “interrupting his fun”, before dragging Kaveh out. Kaveh would always lean on Alhaitham as the duo would stumble home. Alhaitham would then help Kaveh into his pyjamas and tuck Kaveh into bed.
This wasn't that.
Alhaitham isn't sure how; he doesn't quite remember, but somehow this time, Kaveh managed to rope Alhaitham into drinking with him. How many glasses of wine had it been? No idea, far too many. Alhaitham was giggly and smiling while bantering with Kaveh. The music playing was great and felt nice in Alhaitham's very heavy head. Every time he stopped giggling and opened his eyes again, Kaveh's smiling face would meet his. It was wonderful.
Alhaitham generally doesn't care what people think of him. He acts aloof and distant, almost cold, in social situations because that comes to him naturally. Right now, however, being as drunk as he is, being social is way more natural to him. He even asked Lambad how he had been doing, resulting in Lambad shooting him a confused look. Mostly, though, his socialness and attention had been captivated by the man sitting next to him.
It was probably the alcohol talking, but Kaveh looked so beautiful. Or well, he always did, objectively, but right now it was also subjectively. Important difference. Alhaitham had always been content watching from afar, smiling to himself every time Kaveh got complimented, knowing he deserved it. Right now, however, Alhaitham wants nothing but to be the only one whose gaze Kaveh is under.
"And then! Then... you wouldn't believe it... he said the roof was too high! Again!" Kaveh said, before bursting into laughter. Alhaitham did too, even though he tuned out half of what Kaveh had been saying. Kaveh slapped Alhaitham on his back as the two almost fell down from sitting next to each other in the booth from laughing so hard.
"You’re laughing so much! I never get to see you like this, you’re so adorable!" Kaveh eventually manages while calming himself down from laughing. He is definitely feeling a bit emboldened after having so many drinks. He would normally never speak to his crush and roommate like this. His cheeks are red, probably from the alcohol, but maybe also from what he just admitted.
"If I'm adorable, then you're beautiful", Alhaitham slurs back, his voice wavering. He was way too drunk right now. They should be leaving. No other reason.
"I am beautiful! So we are beautiful and adorable!" Kaveh says, before bursting out laughing again. Alhaitham collapses against the table from cackling, and it takes a while for both of them to calm down. Eventually, Alhaitham lifts his head, and oh god, how he is barely even able to do that, and looks up at Kaveh.
"Let's go home", Alhaitham mumbles, a wide grin on his face. Kaveh slaps him on the back before he gets up, immediately bumping against a stool. Alhaitham, who also had gotten up, bent down to laugh again, and the two were promptly escorted out by Lambad.
The way home was another fit of giggles. The duo leaned on eachother, stumbling through the empty streets of Sumeru City, barely able to keep upright. After a trip home that took much longer than it should have, the men finally made it home with Alhaitham fiddling a while with his keys to let them in.
Both pushed in, tripping over eachother and stumbling to the floor. With their limbs interlocked, Kaveh, halfway on top of Alhaitham, the men were a barrel of laughs as they removed their shoes. Kaveh was the first to get up, making his way to the kirchen.
"Shall we open another bottle?" He asks, already uncorking it. Alhaitham eventually manages to kick his shoe off and follows Kaveh to the kitchen, getting out two glasses.
Kaveh and Alhaitham sat down on the living room couch, glasses in hand and continued their conversation as if it never even paused. Alhaitham's legs were propped on the coffee table, as he leaned his head onto Kaveh's shoulder. It felt way too heavy to prop up on his own.
"Oh alhaitham.. I wish you'd let loose a little more," Kaveh said, feigning sadness in his voice.
"I do let loose. Sometimes I even read non-fiction," Alhaitham answered, causing Kaveh to snicker and roll his eyes.
"You know that's not what I mean! I want you to drink with me more often! Who knew youd be so smiley, not to mention how rosy your cheeks are!" Kaveh cooned, squeezing Alhaitham's cheeks with the hand not holding his wine glass. Alhaitham hummed back, the touch feeling smotheringly nice.
"Let me see your face, I wanna see what it looks like right now. I wanna see your face," Kaveh said, repeating his point, as if trying to emphasise. He turned his face towards Alhaitham, still holding his face. Alhaitham let Kaveh rake his eyes all over his face, while he admired his own view of Kaveh’s pretty face.
"Youve grown so much alhaitham... ahh I'm so proud of you", Kaveh said, voice shaking slightly and eyebrows furrowing. Alhaitham noted that he should change the subject. Kaveh had a tendency to become extremely emotional at the flip of a switch when drunk.
But man. It was such a chore to speak right now. Instead, Alhaitham took his own glass, lifting it up to Kaveh's lips, which Kaveh then took a sip out of.
"N-No fair!! I'll get more drunk than you!" Kaveh complained, his words coming out unclear.
"What can you do when you live in a shoe," Alhaitham responded. This was one of Kaveh's favourite proverbs from Alhaitham (of which he knew many). Kaveh let out a small giggle.
Kaveh has done many stupid things when drunk, like write a letter to Tighnari detailing how he was going to design Tighnari a luxury forest hut on top of the Divine tree. What he did this night, however, may take the cake. Not to be outdone by Alhaitham, Kaveh took a sip of his own red wine into his mouth, without swallowing it. He then decided it would be a good idea to bring his lips up to alhairhams (whose cheeks he was still squeezing) and press their mouths together. Kaveh attempted to push the wine into Alhaitham's mouth, but unfortunately, most of it spurted out from the gaps between their lips despite Alhaitham quickly reciprocating. It dripped down Alhaitham's chin, onto his neck and onto Kaveh's hand, as the two kept their lips interlocked. When Kaveh pulled away, his eyes were met with a satisfied-looking Alhaitham.
Alhaitham loosened from Kaveh's grip, climbing on top of him and kissing Kaveh again. Kaveh's back was pressed against the armrest of the couch as Alhaitham crawled on top of him. The two shared a sloppy kiss, their mouths slotting together like a nail and a hammer, with Alhaitham being the hammer. Alhaitham's hands snaked around to intertwine his fingers with Kaveh's hair, where the intricate hairstyle had started unravelling a while ago. Kaveh kissed back, tilting his head to better accommodate Alhaithams eagarness. Kaveh isn't sure when it happened, but he felt his tongue in Alhaitham's mouth, sharing the exquisite taste of the red wine. Eventually, a lack of oxygen forced the men to separate, leaving Alhaitham panting in Kaveh's lap.
"You look even more adorablerer now", Kaveh eventually said, his eyes half lidded. Alhaitham really did, though. His blown lips, the red wine staining his mouth and chin. His hair was tussled, and his face absolutely flushed.
"Adorablerer? Sumeru script fails you. And you look even beautifuller" Alhaitham snickers back. Kaveh is about to quip back, before he feels an eager hand on his crotch.
"Hggnh!" He manages out, his head snapping forward. If he were to listen to the logical side of his brain, he would stop Alhaitham immediately. This would absolutely change the dynamic between the roommates, and he shouldn't take the risk of "how". His logical side, however, had been drowned in red wine a few hours ago, so instead Kaveh bucks up against the touch.
Alhaitham smiles at him before hooking his fingers onto the waistline of Kaveh's pants. He looks up at Kaveh, as if to ask "ok?", which to kaveh nods. Alhaitham slides down Kaveh's pants and underwear, revealing his hard cock.
"Ive never done this before, just so you know. If I do something wrong, then tell me," Alhaitham pipes up, the smile previously plastered on his face gone, replaced with clear nervousness.
"D-Dont force yourself! I'm fine with anything, really! We can just go to bed, too," Kaveh says, his logical side slowly awakening from its slumber. Jeez, this is a bit of a terrible idea.
"I want to, so won't you let me?" Alhaitham answers, after thinking it over for a bit. He looks very vulnerable right now, which Kaveh finds a bit cute.
"Y-yeah, go on", Kaveh says, forcing his eyes to stay on Alhaitham’s.
Alhaitham bends his head down and licks an experimental stripe from the bottom of Kaveh’s cock to its tip, ripping out a full-body shudder from Kaveh. Alhaitham then lowers his head onto it, taking in the sensitive tip, causing Kaveh to hiss. He mouths it, his hands working on the rest. Kaveh wasn't especially big, but above average, he would assume, as would Alhaitham with a clear head. Right now, to Alhaitham, it felt like the largest one he had ever seen.
Alhaitham, encouraged by the way Kaveh is now panting with his mouth hung open, pushes on. He takes more of Kaveh into his mouth, immediately feeling his gag reflex push against it. The corners of his eyes start burning with tears, and his jaw feels terribly uncomfortable. He should really stop.
"H-Haitham p-please..."
Oh, but how he doesn’t want to. Kaveh's hand entangles itself within Alhaitham's grey locks, not pushing him, but instead just grounding him. Alhaitham begins slowly bobbing his head up and down, the movement making it easier on his throat. His hand is still working on the base, while his mouth stimulates the top half.
"Oh god, H-Haitham, you look- you look so pretty like this", Kaveh croaks, covering his mouth with his hand, as if in awe. Alhaitham feels his body tremble slightly at the compliment, and he lets out a small whimper against Kaveh. He is barely able to focus on anything right now. It feels so very uncomfortable, and every muscle and joint in his face and neck is telling him to quit it.
But the way Kaveh is looking at him, with tears threatening to fall from his eyes. The way Kaveh's eyes shine, like when he saw his favourite art piece in person for the first time. The way his voice is pleading "Haitham" like it's something he can never again live without. It kills whatever his body was about to say.
“S-So good for me H-Haitham, don’t stop!” Alhaitham's moves grow bolder, as does his pace. Kaveh keeps spewing praises and compliments, each one going straight to Alhaitham's crotch. His eyes begin to roll back as he loses himself in the rhythm.
"H-haitham i’m- i'm- s-stop!" Is all Kaveh manages before he comes. Alhaitham, not registering the warning, is surprised by the sudden salty taste and heat in his mouth. Some of it falls onto Alhaitham's tongue, before he pulls his mouth off, the rest striping his face. Alhaitham looks up at Kaveh, coughing, who has his head thrown back, obscene comments about Alhaitham falling from his lips. Alhaitham, however, is much too dazed to register them. Kaveh's legs eventually stop shaking, and he lifts his head, eyes widening at the sight of Alhaitham.
"I don't think I can call you adorable anymore. Maybe hot is more fitting" Kaveh eventually speaks up, his face in awe. Alhaitham is still panting, looking up at Kaveh. He lowers his hand onto Alhaitham's face, cradling it, while wiping a small dollop of cum from his cheek. He pushes his thumb into Alhaitham's mouth, who circles it with his tongue.
"Which tastes better?" Kaveh asks, humour in his voice as he admires the view.
"Wed wine", Alhaitham answers, his voice muffled with Kaveh’s thumb in his mouth. After Kaveh feels it to be clean, he returns to softly stroking Alhaitham's face with his thumb.
"Should we go to bed?" Alhaitham asks, resting his head on Kaveh's thighs. His face is still very much flushed, and the look in his eyes soft.
"You won't let me help you?" Kaveh asks, genuine surprise (and a little disappointment) in his voice.
"Youre not too tired?" Alhaitham asks, his eyes already lighting up slightly.
"Sure I am, but how could I say no after receiving maybe the best blowjob of my life?" Kaveh giggles back. It wasn't like he had many to compare it to. His rating was also very much biased, considering the guy from whom he received it has been his crush for almost 10 years now. Alhaitham lifts himself up slightly, bringing his face closer to Kaveh’s.
"Then show me what you're capable of", Alhaitham answers, before Kaveh smashes their lips together again.
The night was clearly far from over.
And perhaps (most definitely) there would have to be a discussion about the future of their friendship(?), but that was a problem for future-Kaveh.
And Kaveh could not care a single crap about that guy right now.
