Summary
Kaveh’s tattoos are praised by celebrities and magazines alike, but somewhere along the path to his success, the meaning bled out of his art. Then, after ten long years, Alhaitham rides back into his life on a motorcycle - rugged, quick-witted, and infuriatingly unforgettable.
With love laced into the ink Kaveh had long since stopped believing in, something beautiful finally begins to take shape once more.
It was too immaculate, really. The sleek countertops, glass partitions, and impossibly white walls gleamed under soft, ambient lighting like they’d never known the comfort of a chaos Kaveh had lived with his entire life. Every surface was made of the kind of material that rejected fingerprints and resisted clutter - sanitized, both physically and emotionally.
Though the district his new studio was in was posh and high-end, it was surprisingly devoid of a single decent coffee shop. Perhaps the elitist locals had never actually tasted good coffee and simply mistook bitterness in a designer cup for depth - much like their conversations.
So far, Kaveh had choked down three lattes and a macchiato that tasted like lukewarm regret with a splash of oat milk.

Summary
I love you, Kaveh thought, and vaguely noticed a shooting star in the sky.
I wish that I could forget you.Kaveh wants the pain from his (apparently) unrequited love for Alhaitham to go away. Accidentally, his wish comes true.
“You would’ve never called me Acting Grand Sage and meant it. Perhaps sarcastically, or mockingly, but never… never what you’re doing now. Like that’s all you see me as.”
Alhaitham mourns someone who is still alive.

Summary
He approached the booth without announcing himself, only slowing when Kaveh stirred at the sound of his footsteps.
There was a fleeting moment of fond recognition in Kaveh’s eyes as he turned his head, but it vanished as quickly as it came, iced over by something sharp and bitter. “Great,” he scoffed, voice hoarse. “Another ghost of my past has showed up to mock me.”
He knocked back the last mouthful of whatever was in his goblet and slammed it down onto the table with a loud clang and enough force to make the empty bottles rattle. Alhaitham’s eyes drifted over the small disaster spread across the table. Two bottles of wine lay tipped on their sides, their contents having soaked into the wood and leaving dark red stains along the edges. One cork had rolled near the booth’s edge and nearly fallen off. The surface was slick and sticky to the touch.
Alhaitham slid into the booth without a word.
“How have you been, Kaveh?”
A re-telling of Alhaitham and Kaveh's journey back to each other, only Kaveh is suffering from an eating disorder.

Summary
“Just trust me,” Kaveh says into Alhaitham’s ear, not really asking – it is rather a plea. His voice drowns in desperation as he tugs Alhaitham closer by the arm and looks back at Dilawar with a kind, rather casual expression. “This is Alhaitham, my new roommate. And my boyfriend.”
And so Alhaitham obeys and trusts him.
Kaveh tries to get rid of his ex by pretending to be in a relationship with Alhaitham. It's not as easy as they first thought, though.

Summary
From an early age, Alhaitham's grandmother had taught him how to properly treat his own injuries. In general, she always encouraged Alhaitham to be independent, so it came about quite naturally that Alhaitham would simply attend to himself whenever he got hurt.
Alhaitham could easily take care of himself, so why was Kaveh bothering? The situation was so bizarre that it didn't even occur to Alhaitham to resist. He only silently watched his senior work, fascinated.
--
As cautious as he is, there are circumstances that even Alhaitham hadn't foreseen.
Alhaitham gets hurt, and Kaveh takes care of him (or tries to...)

Summary
“Coming!” Al-Haitham calls, navigating the maze of packing peanuts and crates. He undoes the latch on the door and lets it swing open, fully expecting to see the bearded face of his landlord only to be met with the vermillion-eyed face of somebody he had given up hope on seeing for the rest of his life.
There’s a long moment of silence. The aching swell of Vivaldi in the background and the rushing in his ears like the ocean waves.
“...Kaveh?”
Kaveh, globally-renowned musician, disappears off the face of Teyvat. Five years later, he shows up outside of Al-Haitham's door with no explanation but to ask for a bed to sleep in.
It's fine. They only have thirteen years of history, after all.

If Alhaitham hadn’t taken both keys with him, he wouldn’t be in this goddamn mess. He’d be at home, sipping tea over a nice book – that is, not trapped in the body of a damn cat out of all things, miserable and stuck out in the rain.
Surely his day could not get any worse than this, is what he thinks, right before he runs head first into said roommate.

“What?”

Anyway, romance was not needed for happiness in life.

It’s a wish that most probably had; experiencing a love that’s all-consuming in the best way possible, being on the receiving end of heartwarming love declarations or confessions, a relationship that grows and flourishes for all time.
He never referred to himself as a hopeless romantic but it seems that it’s becoming a reasonable label to put on him.
✯✯✯✯
kaveh worries that he’s lost the chance for romance or true happiness in his life after his 30th birthday. alhaitham may or may not come along to prove him wrong.

“Kaveh,” he confirms. “He is renowned in his line of work for his skill and passion.”
Lord Kusanali nods as if he had proved one of her silent queries. “I was hoping he would lend me a hand with this project,”
“I’m sure he would be honored,” he says earnestly.
She smiles, cheeks dimpling. “Do you really think so?”
Alhaitham smiles back, small, easy. “I know him quite well."

Summary
Kaveh frowned. “Quite frankly, when you’re concerned with my affairs, it worries me.”
“And why is that?”
“Because nothing good ever comes from you being involved.”
That caused Alhaihtam to look up. It was a challenge, that look was. “I’d beg to differ. I’d say Sumeru as a whole has benefited greatly from my involvement.”
“I still don’t believe half of what you say about that situation for the record,” Kaveh said, but the fight had drained out of him when he remembered what Cyno said in the tavern. It was awful how his whole body softened, how years of instinct and fight or flight responses dimmed at the thought of memories about when things were different. Perhaps Alhaitham was a curse. That must be it. Kaveh glanced at his roommate in the corner of his eye. He sighed.
