    Summary

    “Simple set theory,” Alhaitham says, nodding. “Unless (A) equals (B), set (A+B) will always be smaller than sets (A) and (B) separately. I am aware of that, yes.”

    Kaveh clicks his tongue. “Well, I hope you are also aware that with all these requirements, you don’t get a set (A+B), or even (A+B+C). Yours is a set comprised of the entire Sumerian alphabet!”

    Kaveh has had enough of Alhaitham always loitering around the house. In an attempt to get Alhaitham to go out more often, he jokingly tells him to start dating someone. Much to Kaveh’s shock, Alhaitham agrees—and promptly assigns him as his personal matchmaker. And even though Alhaitham’s requirements for his ideal partner are annoyingly specific, Kaveh refuses to back down from a good challenge. He’s confident in his abilities—that is, until his own feelings start getting in the way...

    Summary

    It is precisely three-fifteen when Alhaitham’s world tips twenty degrees off its normal axis.

    It is three-fifteen when Alhaitham excuses himself from work early for the first time in years, collects his key and Kaveh’s that’s still tangled up with his, and makes haste heading home before sunset.

    i’m moving

    Alhaitham receives news and goes through the five stages of grief. Or, Kaveh says he's moving, and Alhaitham realizes he can't move on.

    Summary

    Kaveh prides himself on being a loyal individual. He's loyal to his career as an architect, even if his debts make him wonder why he bothers with the low cuts he earns from his commissions. He's loyal to his friends, always willing to show up when they need him. He's even loyal to his no good, down right awful, boyfriend. Well, ex-boyfriend. A bad breakup, news of cheating, and a night of drinking leads to revenge being served.

    Too bad he didn't realize that his one-night stand was about to be his boss for the foreseeable future. Surely this won't come back to bite him later, right?

    Summary

    Alhaitham and Kaveh had forgotten what they once knew so well about each other, how truly they could see their own reflection. They spend a night stripping away distortions and defenses, determined to see each other clearly again.

    "You frequently seem to hear cruelty or derision in my words that I haven’t put there. So much so that even when I am deliberately trying to be kind to you or express my affection, you react to it as if I’ve insulted you.”

    Kaveh’s heart was pounding, he felt like the rug had been pulled out from under him, though not in an entirely unpleasant way. Alhaitham's affection…?

    It was so hard to know what to do now, how to react, when he had never expected to talk like this with Alhaitham again.

    Summary

    Kaveh blinks again, and then the world falls back into place.

    “What’s wrong?” a voice asks him from the side, and when he swivels his head around there stands Alhaitham, in his black turtleneck and chartreuse jacket and quizzical expression, and when Kaveh looks up again he finds that the sky is gone.

    Kaveh experiences his very first dream.

    Sex isn’t exactly what riles Alhaitham up. More precisely, it’s how Kaveh reacts to it.

    Summary

    “There will come a day, Kaveh,” calloused hands reached for him again, Alhaitham’s voice a low husk, deep and sultry as it curled around the words. “When I will take you rough and hard, when I will fuck you against every available surface of this house, as I’ve wanted to for months.”

    Kaveh shuddered in place, the hands divesting him off his undergarments helping very little with keeping his composure, the heated skin-contact making his breath catch and stall.

    “In the shower,” Alhaitham rasped against his cheek. “Against the wall, over our table, next to the vase you find so hideous.” Kaveh made a choked noise at that, hands fluttering over Alhaitham chest before landing on toned arms, desperate to hold on to anything at this point.

    “But today,” Alhaitham promised, the deep timber causing shivers to run down Kaveh’s spine. “Today, I’ll take my time with you. Take you apart slowly, meticulously. Spread you wide on my fingers, make you come again and again, and watch as you fall apart.”

    Summary

    When Cyno speaks, Kaveh almost stains his white shirt with crimson, choked-up wine.

    “Make Alhaitham jealous.” He says, as if it’s the simplest and most obvious thing in the world.

    Summary

    And then, his Akasha terminal lights up with an incoming message.

    Al-Haitham huffs harshly through his nose and opens his eyes. Hand on the terminal, he powers it on and finds both his brows raising.

    It’s a message from Kaveh.

    [3:46 am]
    i think i love him

    (Al-Haitham runs a case study on Kaveh and his love life.)

    Summary

    “I’m dating Al-Haitham,” Kaveh says out loud, to test the words on his tongue, or something. Then again, “I’m dating Al-Haitham.”

    All right. Great. So he’s dating Al-Haitham.

    Al-Haitham and Kaveh get together. Nothing changes, except, no—that's not right.

    Summary

    "Why don't you draw anything else?"

    "Huh? What else would I draw?" Kaveh says.

    Alhaitham looks around at the abundance of flora and fauna that surrounds them. "What else," he says, dry.

    Kaveh picks up drawing again. He fills up a sketchbook with drawings of Alhaitham... and only Alhaitham.

    Summary

    “Why does it not–” Kaveh’s voice ripped out in a whine. “Have you not thought about it at all since then?”

    A long pause. The longest one yet. “Who says I haven’t?”

    Lightning flashed through the window, illuminating Al-Haitham’s face. Half of it was still wrapped in shadow, blocked by Kaveh’s head, but he could see the distance between them measured, laid flat by the light. The lightning went. The room went dark. But the memory of Al-Haitham’s wide eyes did not leave him.

    What did he want?

    “Have you?” asked Kaveh.

    “Have you?” Al-Haitham’s voice was so quiet, buried under the murmur of the rain.

    Kaveh swallowed. “I mean…I thought that was obvious.”

    Kaveh accidentally sleeps with Al-Haitham. And then...keeps sleeping with him.

    Summary

    "Say, Alhaitham," Kaveh says, swirling the wine in his glass. "You're a graduate of the Haravatat. How would you define love?"

    "There are many types of love," Alhaitham replies. "Parents love their children. Lord Kusanali loves Sumeru. You love drinking yourself into a stupor. To which kind do you refer?"

    "Romance, Alhaitham," Kaveh says. "What else would I mean?"

    "How would I know what you mean without you telling me?"

    Or: the author read a fic where Hanahaki was described as a manifestation of the Withering and thought "I can make this way worse"

    Summary

    “Al-Haitham and I have been sleeping together lately,” says Kaveh, a statement which is quickly followed by the sound of a spoon clattering onto the floor and a very meek gasp from Collei in the corner of the room.

    Across from him, Tighnari raises a single eyebrow.

    Kaveh’s eyes go wide. “No, I—not like that.

    One night, Al-Haitham shows up at Kaveh's bedroom door and sleeps in his bed. They don't talk about it.

    Summary

    Scoffing, Kaveh mumbles, “Is there anything you don’t know, oh great Scribe?”

    His hands play with the hem of the shirt before slipping underneath to find the bare skin of Kaveh’s toned abdomen. Alhaitham knows of the stars and the blood-stained past of their land. He knows of legends, myths, and truths. He knows of archons and devils. Alhaitham is a wise man with extensive knowledge on many things and he has never been shy to show it.

    “If only you knew how little I know about the things that matter."

    or, Kaveh sought out warmth on cold nights and it turned into something more.

    Summary

    “How unfortunate for you to have someone that cares about your wellbeing.”

    Kaveh laughed. “Is that what it is now? I wasn’t just disturbing your sleep?”

    “Believe what you like.” It was both. Unfortunately for Alhaitham, he did care about Kaveh’s wellbeing, which is why he chose to do things like this. But it seemed no matter how often Alhaitham explicitly stated this, Kaveh would brush it off. It was a dance they had done for years, and Alhaitham didn’t make any more effort to make Kaveh understand he was serious. Kaveh wouldn’t believe him, or he would choose not to. It wouldn’t change anything if Kaveh believed it. Alhaitham would still be going through the motions of getting him to sleep in his bed on nights like this. They would still be having the same arguments. This was just another thing that had become a fact for Alhaitham about his life. Alhaitham cared about Kaveh. He would continue to care about him and for him, and Kaveh would continue to dismiss it. This was a fact that Alhaitham had learned to accept, ignoring the annoying twinge of pain that came with it.

    Summary

    “We may have a problem.”

    Kaveh tilts his head. He follows the grout-line between the tiles with the sole of his shoe subconsciously, grounding himself in the repetitive motion.

    Nasir continues with a sigh. “It seems that the Acting Grand Sage intends to decline our request for funding.”

    “Ah. That’s… unfortunate.” Kaveh speaks slowly, carefully concealing his initial reaction. This isn’t the first he’s heard of this, but he didn’t consider it to be an actual, real possibility. He’s both shocked and utterly unsurprised at the same time. “But what does that have to do with me, specifically?”

    “You know the Acting Grand Sage, do you not?”

    A simple question with a complicated answer.

    Kaveh is tasked with securing the funding for Kshahrewar from the Acting Grand Sage. Things get complicated.

    Summary

    “I’m moving out.”

    Alhaitham leans back in his chair, setting his book down to regard Kaveh fully.

    “No, you’re not.”

    “I’m serious this time, Alhaitham.”

    “You’ve no job prospects, no familial attachments, no property of your own, not a mora to your name, and how did you put it? Ah, yes. Apparently, you’re in love with me.”

    While threatening to move out, Kaveh accidentally confesses. Now, Alhaitham doesn’t plan on letting him leave.

    Summary

    Kaveh starts a garden, right outside the window his drafting desk faces.

    At first, it’s not much. A few sprouts here and there, and a few flowers he managed to convince Tighnari to let him transplant. Tighnari had offered to help, but Kaveh, stubbornly as ever, had refused, saying this was something he needed to do on his own.

    (Tighnari has the kindness not to ask if it’s really gardening that’s on Kaveh’s mind.)

    In which friends with benefits comes with more issues than benefits. Or, Kaveh learns what it means to fall without guardrails.

    Summary

    Kaveh scoffs. “Oh, please! Us as best friends? Nobody would believe it. You might as well have us pretend to be lovers!”

    He waits for Tighnari and Cyno to roll their eyes or shake their heads or say, Haha, good one, Kaveh, we should get you a stand-up comedy show in addition to all your amazing gigs. He doesn’t expect them to exchange a serious look.

    To convince the public that they don’t hate each other, famous actors Kaveh and Alhaitham pretend to be in a relationship. Too bad they actually hate each other.

    At least, Kaveh thinks they do.
