Description:

“Coming!” Al-Haitham calls, navigating the maze of packing peanuts and crates. He undoes the latch on the door and lets it swing open, fully expecting to see the bearded face of his landlord only to be met with the vermillion-eyed face of somebody he had given up hope on seeing for the rest of his life.

There’s a long moment of silence. The aching swell of Vivaldi in the background and the rushing in his ears like the ocean waves.

“...Kaveh?”

Kaveh, globally-renowned musician, disappears off the face of Teyvat. Five years later, he shows up outside of Al-Haitham's door with no explanation but to ask for a bed to sleep in.

It's fine. They only have thirteen years of history, after all.
