Work Text:
"Come on Haitham~ aren't you all stuffy locking yourself up in your study for hours on end? It'll just be a short breather!"
Alhaitham put his pen down and brought a hand to his temple, rubbing at it while he side-eyed the blonde man that was leaning against the doorway.
"It's never just a short affair with you, Kaveh." He motioned to the papers on his desk "You know I have my hands full with work these days, why don't you go pester Tighnari or Nilou for a change?"
Kaveh's red eyes narrowed then, pretty lips curling into a pout "You know it's not the same!" He folded his arms and jutted one hip to the side, gleefully taking note of teal eyes following the movement "Neither of them would indulge me at all. Tighnari even made me use up what little commission mora I had when we last hung out. Sooo rude!"
Alhaitham rolled his eyes then, but he still turned his body over to Kaveh "Maybe if you sometimes gave back instead of just selfishly taking…"
The offhand criticism sparked a frown on Kaveh’s pretty face, blonde brows screwing down over lashes framed red eyes. "Now you’re being rude! You of all people know I’m very generous!" He strode over in easy graceful steps and casually flopped down into Alhaitham’s lap, flinging one arm over his shoulders as he threw him a grin "You see, just this morning I ran into these fishermen that were running out of business…"
The strong hand that had sneaked around his waist squeezed at it then "Wait, aren’t these the workers I dealt with yesterday?" The stern look he received did nothing to dampen Kaveh’s smile "They surely were! The poor things were in such disarray after the Grand Scribe had told them to figure it out themselves, I couldn’t not step in and bestow them my assistance" his grin grew toothy then, pretty dimples digging into his cheeks.
Another squeeze, stronger this time "Kaveh…What did I say about meddling with my business?"
Alhaitham tried to ignore the way Kaveh burst into a precious laughter at that, shifting into his lap as his body rocked with it "You see, dear, brightening people’s days is my business."
A surge of fond annoyance welled up in Alhaitham’s chest, the exhaustion in his eyes giving way to a faint glimmer as he quietly pondered Kaveh’s proposal, fingers tapping along the tapered waist they were resting upon.
"...I suppose I could use the break." the scribe decided, warm breath tickling Kaveh's neck, and jerked one thigh underneath the blonde, urging him to come off him. Kaveh readily sprung off his lap and spun around, a wide smile on his face as he watched Alhaitham follow right after.
As soon as they were out of the main door, the blonde looped one arm around Alhaitham's, nestling into his side as they started walking down Sumeru City's buzzing streets.
"I'll make it worth your while! There's an up-and-coming performer in the Bazaar that Nilou has been talking my ear off about..."
As it so often turns out, their walk was derailed when the chirpy blonde’s curious eyes singled out a significant waiting line at the front of the local jewellery shop. Alhaitham swore he saw sparkles fill his eyes then, the clutch on his arm clamping down.
"Haitham! They must have received a new shipment! Let’s go check it out!" Kaveh excitedly said, all but dragging Alhaitham over to the end of the line, his golden earrings glinting in the sunlight.
Alhaitham gave him a judgemental look, staring down at cheerful red eyes "How does standing in line for hours equal a nice respite for me?"
Kaveh nuzzled into his shoulder and flashed him an all-knowing smirk, eyes dropping to a half lid "You get to doll me up as you want, that’s more appealing than hunching over a desk, no? Plus…" he trailed a hand to one of his earrings, touching it, "These are so last week!"
"You said you liked them."
"I do! But surely you can’t have me out and about bearing week old jewellery? People will think I’m single."
The blonde didn’t miss the slightest quiver along Alhaitham’s lips, silver brows arching down over the teal eyes that were boring down into Kaveh’s expectant ones "Fine. I’ll treat you." he conceded in a sigh, shifting his eyes in front of them.
Kaveh smiled brightly then, brownish side hair strands flopping around as he rubbed his cheek against Alhaitham's upper arm.
Surprisingly, the line fizzled out quickly enough, most dispirited potential customers mumbling something about outrageous pricing, and after half an hour they were standing at the main desk, Kaveh striking an easy conversation with the shop tender while Alhaitham took in the articles on display. A set of earrings caught his attention then, two large triangle shaped golden earrings (cor lapis, mosty likely) laid neatly on the counter, but what struck his fancy was the teal-colored crystal ore ingrained into their center. Instantly, the alluring vision of Kaveh sporting these earrings flashed in his mind, the teal matching the feather propped up over his ear, and Alhaitham was a goner.
"We will take these" Alhaitham spoke up, cutting into the cheerful conversation Kaveh and the shop tender were having.
"Hm? How rare of you to see something you like, lemme see~" Kaveh skipped over, leaning one arm over Alhaitham's shoulder as he took in the earrings. The scribe watched the blonde's eyes widen sligthly, lips parting before they curled into a small smile, turning his head over to Alhaitham "They're gorgeous" He breathed, red eyes glinting with adoration "Am I rubbing off on you? Who knew you had such an eye for nice things" Kaveh hummed.
The worker gazed down at the jewellery and blinked "Sir, are you sure? This is our finest arrival, custom-made by a most high-end Maison in Fontaine. Surely, it hasn't evaded your eyes that they are priced at 10 million mora?"
Alhaitham leveled him with an unimpressed stare then, and Kaveh had to bite back a giggle as the shop owner's jaw all but dropped when a large bag of mora was tossed onto the counter.
"Get on with it. We'll take your finest packaging as well."
"Y-yes Sir!"
While the shop tender carefully picked up the earrings and packed them into a small dark blue velvet box, Alhaitham leaned down and whispered into Kaveh's ear "I can't wait to fuck you while you're wearing nothing but them".
He let his lips crack into a grin as Kaveh sucked in a breath and flushed brightly at the words, giving him a shocked look "Haitham!" He hissed, gently bumping his fist into his arm, "We're in public". Alhaitham didn't answer back, all too knowing that Kaveh's brain was already reeling with the countless thoughts his mere line had sparked into his beautiful, creative mind.
They barely took three steps outside the shop before Kaveh grabbed onto Alhaitham's arm and dragged him behind the building. There was a wall directly behind it, obscuring them from the eyes of any curious bypasser, Kaveh noted as he carefully put down the bag on a wooden box. Before Alhaitham could act the blonde had him backed against the wall, lips mashed together with his hands digging into the muscles in Alhaitham's upper arms.
Alhaitham's tongue lapped at his lips, then a shudder rocked through the scribe's body, his lips parting around a grunt as he broke off their kiss, licking his own lips. "Strawberry?" He raised an eyebrow at the new flavor "Hm-hm!" Kaveh smiled, "A Kshahrewar researcher kindly gifted it to me as thanks for helping him out with his thesis! Tastes heavenly doesn't it?"
Kaveh took notice of the way Alhaitham's eyes darkened at the mention of some other man giving him a present, the tight grip around his waist edging on uncomfortable. "It does. Tastes nice. Makes your lips look fuller as well". Alhaitham grudgingly admitted, lips pressed into a thin line.
Kaveh knew the next step was either making or breaking the moment, so he motioned to the bag on the box with his head. "How about you put them on me now?" He proposed, eyes filling with mirth as Alhaitham's features relaxed, the hold on his waist loosening to let him fetch the box.
The blonde leaned down, overly aware that Alhaitham was watching his every move, and went about taking the box out of the bag, before walking back over to the scribe. His slim fingers easily unclasped the box, lifting up the lid to unravel the two pretty earrings neatly tucked into a plush white cushion. "Go ahead" Kaveh said softly, staring into Alhaitham's teal eyes.
First, Alhaitham raised a hand to Kaveh's ear, softly grabbing at his lobe before curling two fingers around his earring, carefully sliding it off his pierced ear. The blonde shuddered at the gentle touch, shifting closer into Alhaitham as he did the same for the other side. He watched as the scribe picked one earring off the box, and brought it up to his ear, slipping it in. Kaveh bit his lip at the sensation, intently watching Alhaitham's focused face. When the second earring was put in, he couldn't fight off the urge to lean into Alhaitham's retracting palm, letting it curl around his cheek.
Alhaitham's eyes flicked across Kaveh's face, the gentle rays of sunlight highlightning the golden shimmer of the earrings, the pure teal crystal shining brightly against the gold. As he thought, they complemented his feather perfectly, and he tilted Kaveh's chin up with two fingers, brushing their lips together "You look divine, Kaveh" he breathed, taking in the gorgeous blush high along pale cheekbones, before laying a soft kiss on his lips.
Kaveh's eyes fluttered shut, long thick eyelashes fanning over his cheeks, before he parted his plush lips, letting Alhaitham slip a tongue inside his warm wetness. The scribe's hand mingled with Kaveh's, prying the box off them to toss it back where it was. He then wrapped an arm around the blonde's narrow waist and pulled him flush against his sturdy chest, deepening their kiss.
Kaveh happily mewled when his lover's tongue caught onto his, teasingly twisting around his own. He braced his hands against Alhaitham's chest, trailing them across every ridge of the muscular canvas, feeling up hard lines that were ultimately his to admire and touch.
A hard swell nudging along his thigh clued him in that the scribe wasn't quite unaffected by his hands. Kaveh allowed himself to dip his hand lower then, until it was hovering right over Alhaitham's crotch, fingertips grazing at it. Alhaitham nipped one last time at Kaveh's lip and pulled away, giving him a questioning look.
"Let me suck you off" Kaveh bluntly requested, palming at Alhaitham's bulge.
The scribe's hips inched into the grip, but he remained level-headed enough to raise an eyebrow "Here?"
The blonde eagerly nodded, trailing fingers down the hard line of Alhaitham's trapped cock "Yes. Will you not let me thank you?" he looked up at him through his upper lashes, and oh, Alhaitham was not in control of his brain anymore "Alright."
Kaveh's face brightened around a cheerful smile. He leaned in to plant a soft peck onto Alhaitham's mouth before he worked his way down the scribe's body, knees hitting hard concrete ground. Goosebumps prickled at his skin when one of Alhaitham's hands threaded into his hair, loosely grabbing down onto it as Kaveh's fingers worked at his trousers.
After a few easy twists of nimble fingers, the trousers were unfastened and pulled down his thighs along with his underwear, baring Alhaitham to the mellow air of the spring season. He watched Kaveh's eyes glaze over as he took in the sheer girth of his erection, tracing one finger down the underside of his cock, following a bulging vein with it.
The blonde licked at his lips, moisturizing them "If we're talking masterpieces, this is up here with my lovely Palace of Alcazarzaray" he smirked, wrapping one warm hand around the flesh and giving it a few soft pumps, revelling in Alhaitham's shudders under his palm.
"Don't be a tease, Kaveh" Alhaitham gritted out, squeezing down against Kaveh's scalp.
The grip sent a bolt of heat straight to Kaveh's dick, making him bite his lips "Fine, fine, you're lucky I'm dying to get my lips on that thing"
Alhaitham's teal eyes dropped into a half-lid as a warm, wet tongue grazed along his dick, gliding from the base of his cock to the tip, playfully dipping into the slit at the head, lapping up brewing precum. Kaveh continued licking at his cock, tracing along random veins, until the void in his throat grew too strong, spurring him on to part his lips and wrap his mouth around the tip, giving one hard suck.
"Fuck, Kaveh..." Oh, how he absolutely relished Alhaitham's beautiful voice wavering around his name. Kaveh rewarded his junior with an eager moan around the soft skin, feeling him shudder against him.
The sweet grunts encouraged Kaveh to work his mouth down the pulsing skin, easing up his throat as he went until the whole length was neatly tucked into his mouth. He opened his red eyes and stared up at Alhaitham's as he hollowed his cheeks and sucked around his cock, setting a nice pace, working it with his tongue as well.
He barely flinched when Alhaitham's hips jerked into his face after a particularly hard suckle, humming contentedly around the sensitive flesh, sending sparks of pleasure up the scribe's nerves.
As hazy as his vision was becoming, Alhaitham kept watching Kaveh's pretty lips gobble up his cock, clouded teal eyes not missing a flutter of pretty blond lashes. Kaveh looked incredible on his knees, stuffed up with his cock, his new fancy earrings glimmering under the sun. Alhaitham's mind strayed then, to Kaveh meeting up that student again, raising a hand to tuck a blond hair strand behind his ear, displaying his new teal colored earrings to the man with a knowing smirk on his face. The student would relent then, crushed with the realization that yes, Kaveh was taken and looked after by someone else, someone better.
"Mine" The hoarse grunt slipped Alhaitham's lips as he gripped down hard on Kaveh's hair and bucked into his warm mouth, coming in thick spurts. Kaveh readily swallowed around him, not letting a drop go to waste, before he pulled away and softly kissed the head, chest heaving with ragged breaths.
Before Alhaitham could catch his breath himself and reign in the bright flush on his own face he leaned down and pulled Kaveh up by the arm, dragging him into a tight hug. His nose nudged along the crook of Kaveh's neck, taking in a deep breath of his rose scented perfume as he felt Kaveh's thundering pulse against his cheek.
Kaveh smiled down at his clingy puppy of a boyfriend and stroked at his soft hair, "Let's go home, I still want to see if you'll follow up on your promise to fuck me with just my earrings" He smirked, tucking Alhaitham's soft cock back into his trousers.
Needless to say, Kaveh got what he asked for and some.
