Bad Fanfic Idea #3

I accidently made myself laugh at this so here: What if Kaveh, our favourite broke Architect who likes to make his food into miniture buildings because you know it’s Fun had like...no sense of taste. Like it’s just Gone. He eats something and tastes nothing because his tastebuds are so fucked top the point where he only really eats spicy food for the heat and not for the flavour.

It would be such a like..dumb thing. He never mentions it to anyone excpet maybe Tighnari who now has someone who doesn’t complain about how bitter medicine is. On the other hand Kaveh nearly gets food poisoning like three times a week because he can’t tell if food is off by taste he has to go by texture or smell but no taste often means smell is fucked too so he just exists in a sort of “I don’t fucking...I don’t fucking know”

Anyways this thought came to me because Alhaitham probably stole his drink or whatever and when Alhaitham said “This is good wine.” Kaveh could have had like a minute crisis of “Is...is it?” and then kind of just goes about his day.

Comes to head when Alhaitham asks him to try something (Dunno why if you’re a shipper then it’s courting if not then it’s just to bully Kaveh by finding out what he doesn’t like) and Kaveh just sitting here and saying “This game has a critical flaw in it,”

“What do you mean?”

“Alhaitham...I can’t taste.”

And like, as it turns out, Alhaitham didn’t even know, he just assumed Kaveh had like bizzare tolerances for food that he hadn’t found, because Alhaitham is the kind of person of high intelligence low wisdom and thinks Kaveh unironically liked that stinky tofu he got from a Liyue trader once to piss him off. So the exchange continues like “What do you mean you can’t taste?”  and Kaveh has to explain to him that it’s a whole thing and not a big deal let him eat his mug yogurt (Yogurt in a mug) in peace and Alhaitham is wondering what else is a lie.
