[3rd POV]

Kaveh and Alhaitham were walking in the bustling crowds in Sumeru, they were chatting about the past of Lessor Lord Kusanali. Kaveh's eyes lit up with excitement, he turned to Alhaitham and asked:"Hey Alhaitham, do you want to go shopping?"

Alhaitham looks at Kaveh, rolled his eyes, then turn around to see if somebody is looking at them, then looked back at Kaveh, and says:"Hmmm, sure."

"Heyyy guys!"

(ALHAITHAM'S POV)

"What in the Sumeru is going on?" I asked.

"TIGHNARIII!"

"Oh, hey Kaveh!" Tighnari said.

"How are you doing on this fine day?" Kaveh asked.

"Oh, splendid, it's fantastic, anyways what have YOU GUYS been doing?"

"Wait, don't tell me you gay men are going on a DATE!"

"Ahem, we're not going on a date." I said.

"Anyways, we're not going on a date, as he says." Kaveh says awkwardly.

"Hmmm, I totally believe what you guys said, anyways, you guys gotta help me with my upcoming date!" Tighnari exclaims.

"Oooh, a date, with who~?" Kaveh teasingly asked.

"Ok, so the person I'm going to hangout tonight is...CYNO!"

"CYNO!?" 

"Yeah, it's Cyno, he just asked me out on a date."

"So is it a friend date or a dating date?" I asked.

"Honestly, I'm not too sure, but it does feel like a really romantic date."

"Ummm, so Tighnarim do you want to tag along with us?"

"Yasss, I'd love to:3!"

"Do you guys think we should invite more people on this hangout?" Kaveh asks, while daydreaming at the same time.

"Hmmm, Alhaitham, do you want to invite someone?" Tighnari asked.

"Sure." I said.

Kaveh looks at Alhaitham happily (my guy, you really love him,hmm)

Kaveh:"Ok,I'm gonna invite Cyno, tighnari's boyfriend😏."

"YOU WOULDN'T DARE!" Tighnari yells.

Everyone was staring at us, even the children, mice, birds, and probably even the trees and gods and goddesses.

"We should probably go into the store." Tighnari says.

"Good idea!" Kaveh cheerfully said.

Me and the two guys stepped into a fashion store, there was jazz music, and Kavetshin Impact Music, we look in front of us, and there was a 6'0 feet tall guy with bright red hair at a counter, smiling.

We walked to the counter and was greeted by this guy, his shirt has a logo that says:"Owner." And then it says Riku/Luke, he then looked at all of us and smiled again, then he says:"Hello welcome to Sumeru's Love (that's a fake shop name) how may I help you?"

That's when I realize that this guy is the famous owner of this shop, he's famous everywhere in Teyvat, he's known for his storytelling especially his fanfics, he's also known for his bright red hair which glistens like the sun.

(That owner of the shop is me:)

"Oh, so we're basically looking for clothes that might suit us, and we actually don't know what we're looking, so we want you to help us." Tighnari explains.

"Ahh yes, I have that same problem actually, haha, anyways yeah I love to help you guys." He said gently with a beautiful smile.

Oh god, can he not do that again.

"So, I'm going to have to ask you questions actually, so can I get your names, please?" 

"Ok, so the gray haired guy is Alhaitham, the guy who has the furry ears is named Tighnari, and I'm named Kaveh."

"Ok, nice to meet you, but question is there anyone beside you three?" 

"Cyno, who's also here with us, he's also a gray headed like our boy, Alhaitham!" Tighnari exclaims.

"Alright, so I presume he's on his way?" Riku/Luke asked.

"Yes, he is on his way." I said.

(TIGHNARI'S POV)

Oh my Sumeru, I can't believe I'm in face to face with a famous shop owner AND a handsome guy, he's so dreamy~

"Ahem, anyways Tighnari, what's your preferred style?" The red haired guy asked.

"Oh, I prefer like sweaters and sometimes turtlenecks, and I would love some jewelry with it to match, but I don't have any money😭..."

(I feel your pain, Tighnari....)

"Ahh that's alright, I have plenty of jewelry actually, but I don't really wear them often, you can have some if you want, oh! And also, you can have the clothes for free!"

"W-why are you being so generous to me?" I asked, confused.

"Well, I really like to be nice to people actually, and you're a not bad person, and also you don't have any money, but your fashion sense is not bad, so yeah you can have the clothes for free."

"T-thank you!" I said.

"Your welcome!"

"Also, umm, what's your name?" I asked.

"My name is Riku, sure I do have two names which include Luke, but that name doesn't really suit my personality, so I choose this name, Riku!" Riku proudly said with a big smile on his face.

"Alright, nice idea you got there."

"Thanks!"

Me and Riku decided to go in separate to find a outfit that suits me.

Riku:"Hey Tighnari, I found something!"

"You did?" I asked.

"Yeah!"

He handed me a hoodie with two sides, one side is white, and one side is dark green, and the ears on it were shaped like a fennec fox.

"What do you think of this?" Riku asked.

"Oh my sumeru, it's Sooo fluffy, and it's so cute, I love it!" I squealed.

"You can keep it if you want." Riku said.

"Thank you Sooo much!" I exclaimed, hugging Riku.

After Kaveh and Alhaitham got their outfits, we got a notification from Cyno.

Cyno:"Hey guys, so I can't come because of my other job as a Matra leader, but I'm glad to see you guys having a fun time, too bad I can't come, but I'll see you later at the akademiya."

I glanced at Kaveh and Alhaitham, Kaveh was wearing a sweater, a beige sweater, and he has a beret hat on him, while Alhaitham was wearing a black turtleneck with no sleeves, he's wearing gloves.

"You guys look AMAZING!" I exclaimed.

"You too!" Kaveh complimented.

Alhaitham gave me a death glare, what did I even do to him?

"Did you guys buy Cyno some clothes?" Kaveh asked.

"I bought him some books." Alhaitham says with an expressionless face.

"Boring, and I got him some robes." Kaveh says.

Alhaitham glares at Kaveh very intensely.

"Kaveh, do you have to say that to my face?" Kaveh asks, clearly annoyed.

"I do." Kaveh says, while posing.

Then the two had a staring contest, I on the other hand was watching, Riku was eating some flavored popcorn.

"Ahem, Tighnari bought Cyno some crop tops for his job, and he also got him Fragrant Steak Fragrant Sticky Honey Roast for dinner." Riku says with a face that says: You guys act so much like an old married couple, y'know.

"Anyways, you guys gifts to this Cyno person are really sweet, I bet Cyno will love them all." Riku cheerfully exclaimed.

After talking to the three of us, he gave us a smile and waved and said:"I hope you guys come back, and have a great day!"

"You too!" We all said.

Then we went on our way.
