Summary
Tsukishima keeps a straight face and watches. That’s what he does. He watches for small movements, makes observations, and comes to a conclusion on what to do.
It’s what he’s doing when he turns to see Yamaguchi and Yachi standing together in a corner, giggling to themselves, as Yachi is stood in Yamaguchi’s jersey.

Summary
Alhaitham tries a new drink at the tavern during their weekly game night with Cyno and Tighnari - and unwittingly drinks far more than his usual limit of two glasses of wine. Kaveh, never having seen Alhaitham drunk before, is not only shocked by how affectionate he is, but the fact that he only seems to be that way with him.
“Where are you going? Stay.” Alhaitham knew he was whining, but in his intoxicated state, he really didn't care.
To his relief, Kaveh wasn’t irritated, smiling softly down at him. “I just have to pee, Haitham. I'll be right back,” he said gently. Gods, what right did Kaveh have being this beautiful?
Alhaitham mumbled something unintelligible under his breath, but reluctantly let go, watching Kaveh weave through the tables. His gaze lingered until the bathroom door swung shut, then slumped down in his seat with a heavy sigh.
“Damn, drunk Alhaitham's even further gone for Kaveh than sober Alhaitham. Didn't even think that was possible,” Tighnari mused, raising an eyebrow at him knowingly.

Summary
“I’m glad you’re okay,” Al-Haitham says, throwing a sideways glance at Kaveh as he turns back towards his stack of essays. “It would’ve been pretty embarrassing to die in a library.”
“Fuck you,” Kaveh coughs.
“Sad and alone,” Al-Haitham drones, “amongst rows of old, racist philosophers.”
Kaveh groans, finally having caught his breath for the most part. “You,” he says, his voice still raspy, “are the most annoying person I’ve ever met.”
Al-Haitham snorts. “An honor.”

Summary
Years ago, Kaveh tore their joint research paper conclusion page in half, walked out of the office, and told Alhaitham to live his life his way.
Alhaitham listened—on the surface.
Underneath, he kept the torn pages in a drawer and spent the next few years watching from the margins: sitting in the back row of Kaveh’s lectures, nudging audits in the Bazaar, turning monsters away from a desert camp, rearranging variables so the world would hurt him a little less.
When rain and debt and bad timing finally push them back under the same roof, Kaveh discovers what’s been living between the lines of Alhaitham’s life this whole time: a vow he never said out loud, and doesn’t quite know how to return.
Or, Alhaitham spends years yearning for and protecting Kaveh in ways Kaveh was never meant to notice.

Summary
“I’ve always loved language,” Al-Haitham argues. “Have you forgotten what I studied in school?”
Kaveh huffs out another laugh. “Of course not. How could I?”
“Then what do you mean?”
“I just– Well, honestly, you’ve never told me why you picked Haravatat, either,” Kaveh says slowly, the realization seeming to dawn on him as he speaks. “It made sense, in a way, but there had to be a reason.”
“There were a lot of reasons," Al-Haitham admits quietly.

Summary
Ever since a student innocently remarked on the closeness between Professor Kaveh and Scribe Alhaitham, Kaveh has found himself the subject of relentless teasing in each class he taught at the Akademiya. His attempts to dismiss the rumors only seem to encourage his students, leaving him flustered and frustrated.
After all, it’s not as if Alhaitham actually liked him… right? Or is there something he’s missing that everyone else seems to see?
