    Summary

    Alhaitham pauses, and hopes to all the archons listening that Kaveh wouldn’t ask him how he looked, because there was no way he could describe how Kaveh looked right now in any way that seemed even remotely normal for roommates. Fuck, if Kaveh asked him how he looked right now, theres nothing that would stop his drug addled brain from getting down on one knee. On a Friday, at 5 pm.

     

    Unfortunately, the gods never smiled kindly upon Alhaitham, as he heard Kaveh slip out a “oh, by the way, does this look okay?” as he continued to adjust his golden locks that fell around his face.

    shit.

    Alhaitham has been truth serum'd. Kaveh overthinks.
    A tale as old as time.

    Summary

    ''What if you came to live in my serenitea pot while Kaveh finishes his project, so he can make all the noise he wants but at least he's in your house?''

    ''Hmmm... it's not what I wanted, but knowing how stubborn Kaveh is...''

    ''Very stubborn'' added Tighnari.

    ''...your idea would be best. Thank you for your offer, Lumine.''

    Or Alhaitham is worried about Kaveh's lack of sleep, and while he's only trying to help his beloved roommate, Kaveh misunderstood Alhaitham's action in the worst way possible.

    Summary

    What constitutes a fairytale?

    Many would offer the basic answers: a hero who slays a monster to save a damsel in distress, or goes on a journey full of the strange and fantastical.

    To Kaveh, a fairytale meant peace, quiet, and being able to work with zero issues. To him, a fairytale was romance, magic and wonder given form.

    To Alhaitham, fairytales were not real. After all, what was so strange and mystical about a land that already had magic and monsters to begin with? Fairytales, to him, only had merit if they were proven to have been true.

    That's why, to him, their mundane life together in this small Atelier in the countryside was already more than enough. If he could call it that, this was his fairytale.

    Summary

    This was so stupid. Really.

    Alhaitham and Kaveh have always been a collision of contradictions—a living paradox of fire meeting ice, passion clashing with logic. Kaveh knew from the start that dating him would be less a romance and more a demolition project.

    So what if seeing him with her felt like a dagger to Kaveh’s chest?
    So what if every barbed word between them now tastes like a lie?

    Please. It really wasn't that dense.

    Alhaitham was just his insufferable lover. Kaveh’s maddeningly composed, unfairly beautiful human enigma. It was supposed to be as simple as that, but when a glimpse of Alhaitham’s rare smile—directed at someone else—shatters his fragile resolve, he does what he does best: drown the evidence in wine and sculpt his panic into petty defiance.

    Because he really was that type of stupid.

    Summary

    Well there's just one excuse left he could think of.
    He could just.. Lie and say that he was his partner. Maybe his husband...

    HUSBAND?!

    Husband…

    Yeah…

    Yeah!

    The acting grand sage’s husband made perfect sense! Why wouldnt it? Alhaitham was notoriously a private man so having a secret husband works!
    Well that's one issue resolved! Kaveh thought to himself, patting himself on the back for that one.

    or, the one where Kaveh hears Alhaitham’s in the hospital and immediately invokes his nonexistent husband rights.

    Summary

    It felt right to be with Alhaitham, this resolute stranger, even if it was just to linger next to him, sun overhead, voices of patrons nearby overlapping. He would do this. But where was this hesitance springing from?

    Asking someone on a date, well, he must have done this before, surely, even if it surfaced as a blank. Even if he hadn’t, there was a first time for everything. The hesitance curdled, a harrowing sensation, akin to erosion in the gut of his being. Just what was this?

    He couldn’t recall, but no longer could he stall, with time pressing and Alhaitham’s presence threatening to separate from his side, where he was the only receiver of that pressing, omniscient gaze.

    “Listen,” he began. Alhaitham’s expression failed to change, and neither did Alhaitham move. Only by speaking it could Alhaitham’s mind be known. “I hope I’m not being too forward- that is, I hope I’m interpreting things correctly, but I’d like to do this again, if you’re also interested.”

    (An amnesiac Kaveh professes his interest in handsome stranger Alhaitham. Once recovered, Kaveh is compelled by his and Alhaitham’s mutual honesty to reveal his true feelings despite his own self-doubts.)

    Summary

    Alhaitham and Kaveh found that their living arangement..probably should've been thought out a bit better. An alpha and an omega together in one home with no bond? How stupid they were to be together during Kaveh's heat.

    Summary

    Water cascaded onto his hand, blanketing his palm in a brilliant cerulean blue. Drops trickled off his fingers joining the rest of the river flowing blow.

    He couldn’t help but be drawn into the graceful serenity of the roaring falls. So peaceful, so constant. If waterfalls were human their creativity would surely last like an endless spring. I wonder if such a feat is possible to achieve with our humanity, Kaveh thought.

    His cohort did not follow. “Just hurry up and grab the thing already.”

    Kaveh smiled tauntinly as he looked over his shoulder. “Awh, it’s unlike you to be worried about me. Why now?”

    The expression Alhaithem made looked like Kaveh added a bit more grey to his already silver head. “I’m dreading the tangent I’ll inevitably hear on our long walk to the meeting, ‘if that damn branch held up a little longer I would’ve had it, you know!’”

    “Oh shut up. First of all, I don’t sound like that. Secondly, the suitcase is literally right here - there’s no need to rush. You know, you worry too much! This is why the other scholars don’t like to work with you. Archons above, get a clue for goodness-!”

    *creeeeeeek*

    His face dropped. “Oh fuck.”

    Summary

    Kaveh laid there, in a bed that did not belong to him, in a home that should have been his, and he thought.

    Alhaitham had been distant. He left early and came home late. He skipped meals. Kaveh had been called many things in his life, but he was not an idiot. Every time Kaveh worked his way through the facts, he arrived at the same conclusion. It was not a pleasant conclusion, but it was the right one in all the ways that mattered.

    Alhaitham wanted him gone.

    - - -

    In which Kaveh realizes that the foundation beneath him is not as steady as he once thought. (Or maybe that it was stronger than he could ever imagine.)

    Summary

    Kaveh misunderstands Alhaitham's intentions and they end up becoming friends with benefits. (They solve it in the end)

    Kaveh always had his differences with his roommate. Alhaitham was someone truly unreadable, something of a different species to the architect; the two found it hard to agree on multiple things and they were always bickering. No matter how hard Kaveh tried to think, he just couldn’t understand.

    Summary

    Ah, the Interdarshan Championship. A struggle for some, a celebration for others, and absolute dread for Kaveh.

    As the competition heats up and more people are duking it out for the Diadem of Knowledge, the blonde architect can't help but feel like something is wrong. Not with the competition itself- but with him.

     

    Or: what if Kaveh trusted Sachin's words and didn't break the diadem?

    Summary

    “A… I found him bleeding out. So I took him home and…” Kaveh trailed off.
    Fixed him. But Kaveh knew he did more than that. He fixed him and more. Modified things that didn’t need to be modified. Changed things that didn’t need to be changed. He was so different now. Almost subhuman. Like Kaveh himself.
    “... I… helped,” Kaveh decides, uncomfortably. He doesn’t know if he did. (He did, he swears he did. He performed what should be clinical miracles on the man, but…)

    In which Kaveh tries to save a man and, in several moments of passion, goes completely overboard.

    Summary

    There was something unexpectedly beautiful about Alhaitham, Kaveh noticed the longer he sketched. His subtle expressions were often lost on the masses, but Kaveh could easily capture them here. The slight twitch of his lips, the quirk of an eyebrow, the faintest crinkle around his eyes. Alhaitham was more expressive than anyone gave him credit for. You just had to look.

    Alhaitham practices his swordsmanship. Kaveh makes the mistake of watching him a little too carefully and absolutely spirals, giving a masterclass in overthinking.

    Summary

    “Surely, a genius like you would have seen this coming after the thousands of warnings I had given. Overworking yourself will only cause trouble to you and your clients.”

     

    “Leave me alone, Alhaitham! I can sleep this off! It’s just a mild fever.” Kaveh grumbled as he faced his back to Alhaitham who was leaning on the doorway. He could feel him staring daggers making it impossible to go to sleep. “I’ll get back to work after a quick nap—turn off the lights before you go.”

    Kaveh has been used to this. He can manage a fever on his own. The architect has encountered this scenario unfortunately, many times due to his poor habits.

    or

    Kaveh got sick and Alhaitham takes a week off to take care of him. Alhaitham spoils the heck out of Kaveh. They're also losers who don't know the feelings of the other towards them.
