I Refuse To Let Go Of My Kavehno Dreams.

I refuse to let go of my Kavehno dreams.

Kaveh and Cyno went to school together and have been friends since. It means that when Cyno awkwardly introduced Professor Cyrus as his father and Kaveh as his friend, Kaveh got lowkey adopted because any friend of Cyno's is somebody Cyrus treasures. Kaveh, to his credit, had no other support system after his mother moved to Fontaine, and so he got really close with both Cyno and Cyrus.

They used to crash in each other's room while studying, and often slept in the same bed since Cyno has really bad insomnia and having somebody close by helps. Kaveh would braid his hair to calm them both down, and they quizzed each other on their respective topics. It's through Cyno that Kaveh is interested in and understands desert architecture.

Kaveh is one of the few people with a key to Cyno's apartment, the others being Cyrus and Cyno himself (maybe Tighnari, depending on how their relationship is defined). It's come in handy with how often Cyno is injured but refuses medical care, only to need some later. Kaveh is very good at patching somebody up.

He tries very hard to keep his current situation a secret from Cyno. He knows Cyno would help in a heartbeat-- either finding a loophole to get him off the hook from Dori, arresting her for one of her multiple illegal activities, or, more likely, just straight up paying Kaveh's debts, but Kaveh feels too guilty to allow that. It's better to hide it.

That said, Cyno and Tighnari worry about Kaveh's drinking, and it becomes semi-common for Kaveh to show up at Cyno's apartment on his worst nights, when he's scared of the things he might do if left alone. He crashes in Cyno's bed, pulling Cyno close and breathing in the scent of the desert that never seems to leave him. In the morning, Cyno begs Kaveh to talk to him, but Kaveh never does.

Maybe they're involved with other people, maybe they're not, but they always drift back to each other. At the end of the day, they always end up with Kaveh's arms wrapped around Cyno, curled up in Cyno's bed.
