Title: The Day Alhaitham Was Humbled
Summary: Lumine challenges Alhaitham to a logic puzzle showdown… and wins. His pride doesn’t recover, Kaveh records everything, and the Akademiya gains a new favorite story.
The Akademiya’s common hall buzzed with conversation, scholars and students scattered across tables piled high with notes and scrolls. The scent of ink and parchment hung in the air, broken by the occasional shuffle of footsteps. At the center of it all sat Alhaitham, arms crossed, his usual air of detached confidence radiating as if the noise could never touch him. Opposite him, Lumine leaned forward with her chin resting on her hand, a mischievous glint dancing in her golden eyes.
“I’m telling you,” she said, sliding another puzzle sheet across the table, “you’re not the only one with a sharp mind, Alhaitham.”
His brow lifted ever so slightly, the faintest trace of a smirk tugging at his lips. “Bold claim. Most people don’t make it past the second question.”
“Guess I’m not ‘most people,’” Lumine countered smoothly, pencil already in hand, tapping against the paper with mock impatience.
From the sidelines, Kaveh leaned lazily against a column, a faint shimmer betraying the presence of his recording crystal hovering discreetly in the air. His grin stretched wider with every exchange, eyes sparkling with mischief. “Oh, this is gold,” he whispered to himself, already imagining the delight of showing everyone later.
The game was meant to be harmless — a stack of logic puzzles Alhaitham had kept tucked away, exercises he used to warm up his mind. He had solved them countless times, confident no one in the hall could match his speed or precision. Yet when Lumine breezed through the third puzzle in half the time he did, his smirk faltered. By the fifth, she was scribbling answers before he’d even finished reading the question.
Whispers started early. Students nudged each other, murmuring in disbelief as they craned their necks to watch. A few shuffled closer under the pretense of studying, eyes fixed on the table where Alhaitham’s calm exterior was beginning to crack.
“You skipped a variable,” Lumine pointed out cheerfully, tapping the corner of his paper with the eraser of her pencil.
Alhaitham froze. He never skipped variables. His eyes darted down to the sheet, confirming her words, and a tight line formed across his mouth.
Lumine’s laughter bubbled out, bright and teasing. “Don’t worry, I’ll help you through it.”
The muscle in his jaw twitched as he straightened the papers with unnecessary precision. “That won’t be necessary,” he muttered, his voice even but edged with annoyance.
Kaveh nearly choked on his laughter, clapping a hand over his mouth to keep quiet. The recording crystal floated closer, capturing every twitch of Alhaitham’s expression. “Archons, this is going to keep me entertained for weeks. Maybe months,” he whispered gleefully.
By the time Lumine slid the finished puzzle set across the table, her grin positively triumphant, Alhaitham had gone quiet — too quiet. He leaned back in his chair with deliberate calm, arms folded tightly across his chest, wearing the picture of composure that fooled absolutely no one. His eyes, however, betrayed the storm beneath.
“Looks like I win,” Lumine said, smile sweet but victorious, her tone light yet undeniably smug.
The crowd, already drawn in by whispers, erupted into muffled chuckles. Someone even clapped, quickly silenced by a sharp glare from Alhaitham.
Kaveh, barely containing himself, straightened dramatically and declared loud enough for the entire hall to hear, “And history shall remember this as the day someone finally humbled Alhaitham!”
A ripple of laughter swept through the onlookers. Alhaitham’s glare could have cut steel, sharp enough to send most people running. But Lumine’s playful giggles and Kaveh’s unrestrained cackling only fueled the humiliation, making it impossible to maintain his usual veneer of indifference.
Alhaitham said nothing, though his grip on the armrest of his chair tightened. And yet, somewhere deep down — buried beneath the sting to his pride — a reluctant acknowledgment lingered. He was almost impressed. Almost.
Of course, he would never admit it. Not to Lumine, and certainly not while Kaveh was still recording every humiliating second.
Ayato pspspsps come home pls, i'll give you a kiss if you do ^^
Ayato lowered the document he was reading on his desk upon hearing your "compromise". One of his eyebrows quirked up as he smiled at you in amusement. "But we are at home, are we not? So I don't quite understand why you're making such a statement." When you didn't answer him, he stood up from his seat and padded over to you, his slim fingers finding their place under your chin and tilting your face up once he was close enough.
"Only a kiss, darling? I don't think that's enough to make up for the amount of work I'm leaving behind just to please you." There was a teasing lilt in his voice as he spoke, with mischief sheening his deep blue hues.
Interaction for Zhongli and Ei: "Remember that time that Venti invited you two to Angel's Share and got so drunk that he poured Dandelion Wine on both of you?"
OKAY- I WON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AND PROCRASTINATE- HERE I GO-
Zhongli and Ei
Zhongli sighed, his face creased to the center with scrunched up eyebrows, as Ei remained stoic, but turned almost souless.
"Yes... well, more of pouring it on me, thinking he was 'anointing' me," Zhongli grumbled, though still having his composure. You could tell, however, he was certainly angry with the bard.
"I'm not quite sure, Morax. It was quite funny," the Electro Arcon turned her head away from the older god, hiding the fact that she had an amused smirk on her face.
"Oh? Is that so, Ei?"
"Maybe."
"Well, I hope you're ready to join Barbatos at night to face the wrath of my rock-"
One day when I managed to get free day off from work, I got this idea to bring razor out for a nice date, but I came across a big problem...
"Razor, is this all you have in your close- I mean, drawer?"
I realized that Razor does not have much clothing and they are all the type where you wear when you go out for adventure.
"This won't do..." I turned towards razor and showed him a serious expression "I decided! We will be having a shopping date!"
Razor looks at me with his blur expression, not knowing what I meant due to the lack of interaction with other people "Shop....ping...?"
He looks really cute when he tilts his head in question, simply too adorable...!
"Razor, we will be getting more clothes for you..." placing the clothes back into the drawer which isn't even half filled, I cleaned up the place to its original clean state before pulling Razor out "Maybe... We can even get couple wear~"
"Couple wear? ....What is that..." while looking at his own clothes, he started thinking, what could it be?
Giggling as I knew that Razor will soon be wearing similar clothes to me made my heart soar "We will be wearing the same clothes while going outside, everyone will know we are together"
And so, while going towards the shopping district, I tried to explain as much clothing design that Razor might be interested or look good in.
It will be fun to have Razor trying out different outfits
...
"Oh dear...!"
As soon as Razor stood out of the cubicle, I became super excited, Razor looks so nice in this formal outfit, his wild nature that is could not be hidden by the formal clothing made him look sexy despite how innocent he is inside.
"This... I can't breathe..." Razor exclaimed as he tried to loosen the collar, which I instantly went towards him as I am worried that he might accidentally tear the shirt instead.
While I had my fun looking at Razor in formal outfit, I know that it does not fit him and promptly passed the next outfit to him
"I guess formal wear does not fit, lets try the next outfit..."
There are so many clothes that I had my eyes on... Hehe... What can I make him wear next~
While I am adding more clothes to the rack (the store allows people to store up clothes on rack and test out as there are lesser customers on the weekday here), I try to imagine what he will look good in
Soon, Razor comes out with the next theme, street wear, it is really suitable for him as it highlights his body shape.
It is really nice and comfortable to... Cough
Seeing him fiddling with the sleeves, I worried whether he is going to feel constrained by it, but it have been getting colder recently...
"Is this it uncomfortable?" I asked as I continued to stare at his hand movement.
But luckily, he looked at me and gave me a soft smile, one that could stop my heart (I might look like I am exaggerating, but hey... it's Razor we are talking about!) before answering me.
"It...similar to mine..."
Suddenly, he walked towards me and grabbed my sleeve, "I want... see you wear too... Couple...clothing..." showing his bright eyes, he started to show a cute appearance to me "you... promised..."
Promise...? Ah that... It wasn't a promise but something I casually said though...
While my hand are still on the rack, trying to get new clothes to fit on the basically filled rack, my hand froze.
I still have tons of clothes that I want him to wear... We just started... But he look at me with expectations in his eyes...
It is dazzling bright and I feel the obligation to fulfil whatever he requested...!
"W-well... Alright! Let's get some couple wearing... We should start with the one you are wearing now..."
...
And with that, I had a strangely fun time shopping with Razor and ended up having tons of clothes to bring home while Razor slowly falls asleep on the way back.
As the bus travelled, I was suddenly hit with a realization I forgot something and that is to have lunch with Razor and ended up trying clothes the whole time!
Groowwlll
Someone's stomach growled and I covered my face with my hands
