Kaveh wake up with a sweat dripping from his forehead. Another nightmare.

He manages to reach a glass of water on top of his table stand beside his bed. He gulp it all down as he tries to steadying his breath.

The unanswered questions; the why, the when, the how, keeps haunting
him. Turns out it’s not as easy to move on from someone who definitely gives zero fucks about him. It’s proven as it’s been 3 months since his arrival in Liyue and no sight of Haitam whatsoever.

It’s to be expected, he thought. He’s definitely disappointed but not surprised.
Kaveh grabbed the long coat he put on the chair near his table stand, wear it over his shoulder, and walk to the place he’s been visiting quite often whenever he’s feeling down or needed to take a breather

His body feels heavy and his head still feel a bit dizzy but he continues
his mini walk.

Arrived he is at the end of cliff overseeing Liyue city. There, already sat a man with brown hair that seemed to have expected his presence.

Kaveh sat beside the said man carefully as the man asked him,

“Another nightmare?”

and to that question Kaven only nod.
“It could be the side effect of the mark removal operation you did 2 months ago, perhaps also from your guilt, adds with your current condition, and maybe a bit of everything” the man with amber eyes said.

“Maybe, who knows. I don’t care anymore” Kaveh shrugs.

“So now, what-
do you have in store to humor the both of us today, Mister Zhongli?” Kaveh continues.

The man which is now sit beside Kaveh is Zhongli, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor consultant, the ex-archon of Liyue, and the man he overheard on his first day arriving in Liyue.
Zhongli was an alpha and Kaveh initially tried his really best to avoid him but unfortunately for Kaveh, Zhongli is the original owner of the spot he usually sit in right now.

It all started when Kaveh just passed out cold in the middle of Liyue city during busy hours and he had
to be carried to Dr. Baizhu’s clinic, the local doctor who opens his practice in Liyue city.

On that day, Kaveh learned that he’s apparently 3 months old pregnant. With his ex-husband child.

He tried his best to recall when exactly he’s conceived as leading up to their divorce
his ex-husband showed no desire whatsoever of him, even he had to really beg and tried all his might to seduce his alpha as he’a desperately wanted to fix their broken marriage.

And to that, Kaveh only had 1 particular night in his mind. That night he purposely wearing his
husband favorite lingerie, put on his favorite perfume, even went as far to decorate the bedroom just so his husband could fuck him cause God he’s desperate for his touch. Craving, yearning, needing his alpha touch, the comfort and the love he always long.

That particular night
was undoubtedly the worst night for them all. His alpha almost couldn’t get his thing up and Kaveh couldn’t even keep his husband dick long enough inside of him.

But Kaveh was determined and so after what felt like eternity the deed was done and after one shoot, his husband went
to sleep, saying he had to work early tomorrow for an important meeting.

That night, Kaveh had to tip toeing his way to the toilet to satisfy himself. He remembered how that night his heart was broken into pieces, knowing his husband couldn’t get his thing up for him.
Kaveh had cursed profusely and asked to whomever it may concern as to why it should be on that night. That particular night, even more, why must it be now?

His husband didn’t even willing to give his love to him and just did it to shut him up so why this child has to come to him
He’s not in a right state of mind to take care of a baby, god, he even barely managed to rearrange his life.

But that was months ago, Kaveh has now already comes to terms with it and determines to take care of his baby with all his might.
TBC
During his time trying to grasp both of the sudden change in his body and his new life, Kaveh often found himself walking up the hill and unconsciously sat in one of a small chair made of chopped wood.

He would spend hours watching the sky changes from day to night & vice versa
He sometimes let himself loose and cry his sorrows out for the wind to swipe his misery away.

Most of the time he spent there, he never really paying attention to anything but his heavy heart and the sky covering Liyue city so when someone suddenly handed him a handkerchief,
Kaveh thought his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Apparently that man, who later Kaveh known as Zhongli, was a frequent visitor and was enjoying a nice breeze on the hill while reminiscing about the love he had once but then slipped away from his hands when he got
Interrupted by Kaveh sorrowful cry.

That was almost 3 months ago, now they had become much closer and even comfortable enough to have their own mini trauma-bonding session.

Apparently, Mister Zhongli had lost his precious wife, a harbinger from Snezhaya during a massive war-
Thousands years ago. The time they spent together had to cut short as his beloved harbinger had to sacrifice himself to get back the gnosis his archon had stolen from his lover.

Since then, Mr. Zhongli never take any lover nor trying to have one. He would spare some of
his time sitting under the tree up on the hill near Liyue city to reminisce about his beloved as that’s the only thing he knows how to honor his wife and grief his loss.
“I’m afraid I have to disappoint you, Mr. Kaveh. I just now realizing that there’s no more story left for me to share to you about my former wife, Ajax. I had spent more times grieving than 12 short years I spent with him. I’ve been waiting for him to come back to me everyday but
now I realized he won’t. He’s gone, and though I hope he would reincarnated and come back to my embrace, I now only want him to strive and not chained by his past.

My Ajax had died thousands years ago and now it’s up to me whether I accept the truth or not which apparently
I haven’t been for a long time.

Now that I finally decided to break free from my mourning period, I would like to actually open myself to new things.

And I know this might not my place to say but I hope, Mr Kaveh, for you to find your peace soon too”

said Zhongli.
His eyes locked into Kaveh’s puffy eyes.

Shocked was an understatement for Kaveh who is now almost had his jaw dropped to the ground when hearing the ex Archon words.

He was famous as a grieving widower for centuries and now he just abruptly decided that he wanted to move on?
Something deep inside Kaveh’s heart was broken a little. He was low key rooting for Zhongli and Childe relationship, maybe a little bit too much than he would admit.

Cause maybe he somehow projecting his hope that one day Haitham would grieve him just like Zhongli’s,but alas who
he’s trying to kid. Haitham were no Zhongli and while they share some similar traits, which it previously what led him to the consultant, the relationship shared between him and Haitham and Zhongli with his Ajax is completely different.

The most distinct one is, him and Haitham
agreed to lead different path and moved on while Zhongli and Childe aren’t. They’re separated by death, for god’s sake, how could he even try to compare.

“So are you not coming here anymore then?” Said Kaveh, almost chokes on his saliva trying to keep himself together.
Zhongli seemed a bit confused,

“What makes you think that, Mr. Kaveh? I love this place and I am not planning to try finding new place to spend my spare time off just because I finally made peace with my past.

Besides, I would still love to lend my ear for your stories”
Seeing that cat got Kaveh’s tongue, Zhongli swiftly changes the topic.

“So how is the little one doing? Do you mind if I greet him today?”

After Kaveh gives a nod, Zhongli gently put his palm on Kaveh’s bulging stomach and not long after warm yellow light omits
from his palm.

Seeing it for the first time, Kaveh almost freaked out but Zhongli gestures that it’s okay and he meant no harm so he accepted it and feels the yellow light slowly creeping up and blanket him with a warm feeling.

A feeling he has long forgotten.

A comfort.
Oh boy what have I done…. It gets longer and longer, in my mind they just magically have their own character backgrounds but it doesn’t seemed the case in here lmao I need to do better

TBC
Kaveh flinches a little bit when the baby in his womb moved around and to that, Zhongli chuckles. Such a sight to behold, he thought to himself.

“He’s going to be a marvelous man someday, you’ll see” said Zhongli as he continues to rub his hand on Kaveh’s bump.
“You’ve done well young man, I hope we could see you soon” Zhongli continues.

Kaveh almost chokes up seeing such a warm sight. Million thoughts running through his head, almost overwhelms him.

Noticing the omega becomes uncharacteristically silent, Zhongli decided to reach out
his inner pocket and hand Kaveh the thing he just got.

“Here, you could give this back to me anytime”

Kaveh glances at the thing on Zhongli’s hand, confused

“But I’m not crying tho”

“Well, I thought you’re about to. Your face was a bit scrunched up earlier” Zhongli teases.
Kaveh finally let out a small chuckles. His mood has significantly gotten better than when he woke up earlier.

“Well, now that you have finally got your spirit up, let me tell you a story of when I first met with Azhdaha. Is this story would be worthy of your time, Mr Kaveh?”
Kaveh smirks, hands crossed on his chest,

“Try me”

Clearing his throat, Zhongli starts the wonderful story of his past with a

“Once upon a time,….”

Kaveh relaxes his body and stretches his leg, ready to indulge himself in a heroic legends of Morax, The God of War
Since then, Zhongli would share his adventures with Kaveh and Kaveh would gladly hears about the ex-archon tales.

Hearing such magical heroic story of war combined with Mr. Zhongli eloquent way of speaking made him at ease, helps him passes the time rather joyful than having
to be in constant state of overthinking and self pity.

Days turn to weeks then become month. Kaveh is now approaching his first trimester.

His bump is getting more apparent now, he starts to have difficulty walking on long walks, lifting heavy objects, even facing
difficulty wearing his shoes.

Lucky for him people of Liyue are very friendly to outsiders like him, especially to an omega without a mate.

On top of that, Mr. Zhongli is also more than willing to help his very needs.

From food delivery to his ever so wonderful storytelling.
Zhongli slowly become a constant figure in his daily life and truthfully Kaveh is very thankful for him.

They might not be able to wail for their sad past together anymore but they’re now have start to steadily facing the future with each other’s help.

And that’s a progress.
Days spent with Zhongli has always peaceful, they never argue & they almost never piss each other off despite they spent most of their day with each other, be it Zhongli visiting Kaveh in his small office and got his job done there during the day or when he’s inviting himself to
Kaveh’s home to cook dinner, brew tea, or help cleaning up the house.

None of them really noticed it but they’re now have become so comfortable around each other that Kaveh could stretch his foot on Zhongli’s lap and Zhongli would help massaging the architect swollen foot.
It’s during downpour that both Zhongli and Kaveh realized that they don’t want to stay apart from each for too long anymore, and so Zhongli started to bring his stuff to Kaveh’s home little by little until now they stuff are mixed in together.

Kaveh hesitated a bit before
actually letting Zhongli slowly entering his life as he has his vow and his child to protect but Zhongli is just way too simple of a man, he merely has any objections to any of Kaveh’s conditions that Kaveh couldn’t even find a single reason to push the alpha away.
As his belly grows more and more heavy and Kaveh’s movement becomes more restricted, Zhongli would always ready himself to cater Kaveh’s need,even do things Kaveh doesn’t even ask him to such as peeling the apple and shaping it into bunny slices.

This little things he’s done for
him makes the omega inside Kaveh thriving.

For God knows how long, it had been forced to be dormant as Kaveh had to be in constant fight mode between having to always be ready to counter his ex-husband spiteful remarks and making himself looks desirable for his now ex-alpha.
He also used to suppress his pheromones as he has quite a strong one even for an omega cause his husband hates it when other alpha, no, other people even taking a slightest bit of interest in him ( Which at first seemed cute to Kaveh) forcing him to stay at home, finishing
up his projects, doing his job alone, making him overwhelmed by the load he had to tackled by himself.

Since Kaveh had grown more and more comfortable around Zhongli he starts his chirping (as Haitham would call it) mode when he would babbling about various things he finds
interesting.

He would giddy up, almost jumping ups and downs, hands flying every direction, face red of excitement when talking to Zhongli.

On one occasion when Kaveh excitedly sharing his opinion about how cute Guoba is (without having knowledge about who it was) during their
dinner, he suddenly stand up from his chair and continue with his rambling until he accidentally knocks the glass full of water down.

Zhongli who was also busy admiring how cute Kaveh was seeing his face is full of excitement, his big belly & swollen breast full of milk
jiggling, not quite ready to prevent the water to spill on the table.

Kaveh, realizing that he just made a mess, got his old memory flashes when Haitham used to told him to calm down and stop making a fuss over nothing so that he could stop doing stupid things.

The light that
was once shining up from Kaveh’s face dimmed as he just got humbled, remembered that his rambling is dumb & annoying.

He was about to grab the napkin when suddenly Zhongli reach out to his chin, directing it to his face & giving him a kiss, in the mouth.

Kaveh is understandably
surprised by the sudden movement from Zhongli and instantly froze in his place, one hand holding the napkin and the other holding his tummy.

Few seconds after making sure Kaveh is not rejecting him, Zhongli begins to kiss Kaveh deeper, putting both hands on Kaveh’s face & slowly
asking his tongue permission to go down further to Kaveh’s mouth.

Though he initially shocked and for a brief second contemplating his decision, finally Kaveh gave in and let the alpha leads them both to a long, passionate kiss. A kiss that will now becoming evidence of their
blossoming love.

After both of them have to gasp for air, Zhongli slowly bring his thumb to Kaveh’s lip, brushing it gently while saying abruptly,

“I’m sorry what were you just saying?”

And Kaveh just laughs. So hard until his lungs burns, his tears dripping, his whole body
trembling.

That’s the first time he genuinely laugh without having to worry about anyone, anything else.

Kaveh could feel his heart has lightened up and a thought crosses his mind,

“Maybe I still have it in me to seduce an alpha after all this time”

He mentally smirks.
TBC
It’s now spring in Liyue as their archon’s months of pining finally come to fruition. Apparently the whole Liyue had been forced to witness their ex-archon relentlessly chasing after a pregnant omega day in day out while the omega itself remained oblivious.

They’re the talk of
the town. A pregnant, mate-less omega with a golden heart, willing to do voluntary work to build houses for the poor despite everyone knows how badly his own current condition is, and an alpha infamous for thousands of years as a sorrowful widow, never let anyone come near,
always had this sad, longing eyes on his eyes.

A very unique combination but no-one could deny that they deserve each other.

Walking now the couple hand in hand to Dr. Baizhu’s clinic for their chek-up routine, smile never leave their faces and laughter always accompany their
conversation, making others almost puking rainbow seeing their sweet exchange.

Once they arrived at Dr. Baizhu’s office, a child zombie greeted them and instruct them to a room with a bed on the corner.

Not long after, the doctor came and examine Kaveh. The result was great,
the baby is healthy but Dr. Baizhu convey his concern about Kaveh’s choice of the delivery method cause even though Kaveh is a complete omega capable of conceiving, some parts of his body still of an alpha.

Hearing the news, Zhongli raised his eyebrows while Kaveh is groggy
in his seat. Sensing his partner’s pheromones starts to omit negative energy, Zhongli grabbed his hands and stroke it slowly, making a circle motion.

Seeing the couple now has gotten a bit calm, he prescribed Kaveh some medicine to help his body prepares for a natural birth.
Walk to their home feels like eternity, Kaveh feels. He’s not sure how to break the news to his now partner as he is actually forgetting that he was once an alpha until Dr. Baizhu pointed out to him.

“I wanted to have a child so I voluntarily turned myself into an omega”
Kaveh starts the conversation once they lay on the sofa.

“Kaveh, I need you to know that it don’t matter to me, if that’s what concerns you. I was just barely surprised, that’s it”

Zhongli said in a reassuring voice while kneading Kaveh’s foot.

“I swear I really forget,Zhongli
it was long ago, back when I was desperately wanting a child for me and my ex-husband. It’s a hasty decision I admit but I never regretted it, not even once.

My ex-husband said he wanted one but the chances of two dominant alpha to conceive is zero to none so I did it.
Kaveh explains to Zhongli with teary eyes, face completely red. He was almost begging, grasping Zhongli vest hard with both hands.

If Zhongli had ever said to himself that Kaveh could do no wrong, then he should correct himself.

Kaveh needs to have more respect to his own being
“Please don’t be disappointed in me, I’m not trying to lie to you, but if you think that being with a defect, unlovable omega like me is impossible then I wo-”

Zhongli stopped Kaveh rambling with a kiss. The omega might not realized it but his body has been shaking, sweating
profusely, and tears streaming down his face rapidly.

After their kiss, Kaveh breaks down. He’s weeping. Body completely shaking up and down but his voice silent.

Zhongli holds Kaveh closer, one hand caging the omega’s waist and the other caressing his hair.
“You can let your voice out, I will be here. Don’t keep it bottled up to yourself. It’s okay” Zhongli whispers to Kaveh’s ear, over and over until he hears a sob then a whine.

Zhongli decided to not say anything and wait for Kaveh to calm himself down.

After making sure Kaveh
has calmed down, he nuzzles Kaveh’s head while trying to wipe the remaining tears on his partner’s face.

“Thank you, I know my crying voice annoys you but you withstand it. T-”

“Kaveh what are you talking about? I never see you as annoyance. I’d rather having you cry screaming-
at me than having to witness you enduring your own feelings” Zhongli cuts Kaveh’s off.

“Sorry, I’ll do better” Kaveh said, almost chocked on his own tears.

“No, Kaveh. My point is, you can come crying at me whatever you want. Don’t say sorry. Come here”

Kaveh obeys and put
himself to Zhongli’s warm embrace.

“Haitham hated it to hear my crying voice, he said that it’s bothersome. Will Zhongli eventually feel that way too? I don’t think I would be able to withstand another annoyed look from my partner. I’d rather die”

Kaveh thought to himself.
“Kaveh, hear me out. I know that you have your trauma and you have your past but I want you stop worrying about it from now on.

I’m sorry I never got a chance to properly confess to you, but you’re gorgeous no matter what you are, no matter what you do.

You are my moon, my sun
my very reason to face the future and become a better person.

Omega or not, it don’t matter to me, never then, never now, never will. It isn’t cause I was an adepti but simply cause I don’t honestly believe people’s value lies within their secondary gender.

Now I want you to-
say sorry to yourself for ever making him feel small. You owe that to yourself. That’s your vow, right?”

Zhongli said slowly, almost whispering while stroking Kaveh’s hair then down to his eyes, to his cheek, and finally to his chin. He wants to make sure Kaveh understands that
Zhongli is more than his new fling. He’s here to stay.

“Zhongli” Kaveh calls,

“I’m more than grateful that you accept me for who I am but I need to ask this or else it will haunt me forever, would you mind hearing me out?” He adds.

“Sure” Zhongli replied with reassuring smile
“What if this child will take after his father and by father, it’s not me” a kick feels in his stomach as Kaveh asked Zhongli about his concern. It seems that his child doesn’t want to have a resemblance to his father too.

“What about it?” Zhongli answers nonchalantly.
Kaveh fall silent.

He wants to push more, demanding more explanation but at the same time he’s afraid to push his luck. Having another alpha accepted an omega with a child from another alpha is already a luxury for him.

“You know-” Kaveh tried,

“I don’t know, Kaveh. Are you
asking if the child will be raised and declared as my own? Cause that’s a silly question and the answer is of course yes”

Kaveh lunges towards Zhongli, kissing him passionately. His chest feels tight and he feels like he’s in cloud nine. It’s been awhile since Kaveh felt this
way and he is beyond grateful for it.

“Thank you” Kaveh said upon ending their kiss while admiring the amber eyes in front of him.

“What for?” Zhongli teases and Kaveh replies with a pout.

They spends the day cuddling and kissing that day.
This will be the end of PART 2.

Part 3 coming up with Zhongli’s POV.

#Haikaveh ABO

It’s on their fourth anniversary when Kaveh finally admit that his marriage with Alhaitham isn’t going to work, not anymore. Countless days and nights he spent trying to shook off the feeling in his guts that Alhaitham, though he never really
-blatantly admit, is no longer loves him the way he used to.

It started off as him cutting of Kaveh’s rant by switching on his earphone then gradually ignoring his existence in bed by turning his back towards Kaveh when usually he could never goes to sleep without Kaveh scent on
-his embrace.

Kaveh of course, had tried to address his concerns to his husband but the now Grand Sage of Sumeru just shrugged it off by saying that he’s just tired and Kaveh might just be imagining things if not being over sensitive, which then the conversion often lead to an
