    Summary

    After a fight, Alhaitham has a nightmare where he loses Kaveh entirely. Waking brings no relief - only a fear he can't shake, pushing him toward Kaveh's door while praying he hasn't already gone too far.

    Instantly withdrawn, Kaveh rose to his feet, silently gathered his blueprints, and turned his back. Dragging a hand over his face, Alhaitham reached for the gentler words he should’ve used in the first place to try and undo the damage - but Kaveh cut him off with a quiet 'leave me alone' and retreated into his bedroom without a backward glance.

    It hadn’t even been an insult, but it was somehow all the more piercing for its bare simplicity. In one solitary sentence, Alhaitham heard the echo of every fear he carried about himself - incapable of the softness required to hold something as bright as Kaveh’s trust without breaking it into pieces.

    Summary

    “What I would like to know is, when did you start to care about others, about the people of Sumeru?”

    They meet face to face, and Kaveh now sees that his roommate has dark rings under his eyes, as well as a general weariness in his stance. He knows that the question might be cruel, and might be too much for this current moment.

    The air is heavy with words they both didn’t say, whether they chose not to or were too afraid to.

    The sages have been overthrown, and Kaveh is back in Sumeru City.

    Summary

    In Sumeru, two men who always said "we're not friends" are once again sharing the same roof. After years apart due to the breakdown of a joint project, which also led to the end of their friendship, Kaveh returns—tired, broken, and needing a place to think. Alhaitham offers his home. Not out of nostalgia or guilt—but because it makes sense.

    In their daily lives together, they both discover that what they believed they had lost is still there: in their habits, their silences, their unintentional kindnesses. And that sometimes, before recognizing the feeling, it's necessary to learn to exist together again.

    Summary

    “Could you help me put it on?”

    Taking the necklace from Kaveh with a lingering brush of their fingers, he stepped close and suddenly, Kaveh was realizing why asking for Alhaitham's help was a very, very bad idea.

    The air turned heavy as Alhaitham laid the necklace around his neck, making sure that the pendant rested on the warmed skin right above his heart.

    Then, without breaking eye contact, he leaned down and pressed a reverent kiss on Kaveh's nape—so featherlight that Kaveh wondered if he was imagining things—just above the clasp of the necklace.

    in which Kaveh and Alhaitham are in love with each other but don’t know it yet.

    Summary

    When Kaveh accidentally uncovers Alhaitham’s private logbook, he discovers that the man he’s lived with (and argued with) for years has been quietly observing him—his habits, his ideals, even his flaws. What unsettles Kaveh most is not the sharp critiques but the quiet admiration threaded between the lines. Struggling between guilt, curiosity, and pride, Kaveh spirals into a battle with himself: does he confront Alhaitham, or keep pretending ignorance? Their already fragile truce as roommates fractures into arguments sharp enough to cut, until one slip of the tongue exposes everything. In the silence that follows, Kaveh must face the truth he’s both feared and longed for—that Alhaitham has always seen him more clearly than anyone else.

    Summary

    Lately, Kaveh's schedule had become a little bit more regular. Just a little. He tended to meet clients in the morning, now; and while he still socialized late into the night—those who worked in his field, or adjacent to it, were not known for their regular hours—nowadays he did not step out of Lambad's so late that the night was blending into morning, that away from Sumeru City's raucous taverns and bars the air was suffused with such dead quiet that his steps, his breaths as he stumbled home seemed to roar in his ears.

    ... There was no particular reason for this newly regular routine. Or at least, no particular good reason.

    Really. There wasn't.

    Alhaitham has been giving Kaveh kisses on the cheek—one when he leaves the house, another when he returns.

    Summary

    “Kaveh, what are you doing here? What is that.”

    Kaveh looked at the bowl in his hands and thrust it into Alhaitham’s limp grasp.

    “It’s the soup, some for you. Eat it, and please avoid that trash take away food for at least one night.”

    Alhaitham looked at him with shocked eyes, his mouth lulling in speechlessness. “For me?”

    “Who else for?”

    Or

    Kaveh knows hundreds of recipes, yet one day he delivers soup to Alhaitham's door and discovers the one recipe he's been longing to learn.

    Summary

    Kaveh did you eat?" Alhaitham asked after a while of watching Kaveh draw shakily. His whole body seemed to be shaking now, including his breath.

    "Alhaitham I..." Kaveh started but he couldn't finish.

    "And you didn't drink anything either..." Alhaitham stated.

    "I... I did but I..."

    "Kaveh you're crying."

    Kaveh froze, then he turned around.

    "No I'm not." he said, faster and angrier than he had intended. "I'm just tired..."

    “Do you even know how to braid hair?” Kaveh asks, not sure if he should be laughing, or just be concerned.

    “No,” Alhaitham replies, and he doesn’t sound concerned at all. “I’ll manage.”

    Summary

    Dear Kaveh,

    With the changes occurring all over Sumeru recently, I believe it is time to also make some changes within. On behalf of the Akademiya, I would like to formally commission you to be the main architect for the Akademiya’s next major renovation project. This would include creating new offices and adding a new wing dedicated to the arts. Your direct supervisor for this project will be Acting Grand Sage Alhaitham.

    Sincerely,
    Nahida

    Alhaitham scanned the letter over Kaveh's shoulder quickly, interested to see how he would react. Kaveh’s initial smile only seemed to grow as he read on, but then it quickly dropped. “Wait. Wait. What. What.”
    -
    Or: Kaveh has his most frustrating client yet -- his roommate Alhaitham.

Except...When did he get so hot? This was not the same little junior Kaveh used to pat on the head during their study sessions.
