    Summary

    'One ungloved hand was lifted and Alhaitham flexed it once, then balled it into a fist so tight Kaveh wondered what he imagined crushing so completely within his unrelenting grasp. He wished silently, with all the odd longing and painful reverence he could muster, if it could be him.'

    Kaveh is convinced his affection can only end in madness, Alhaitham only stokes the flames.

    Summary

    "A soldier has no business in my shop. And didn't I say I have a right to decline for reasons you don't need to know."

    "Personal reasons, I assume."

    Failing to quell the irritations building up over the past hectic days, the officially awoken mechanic took it out on a trash bin. The favorite target didn't make as much racket as other hardware in his shop would, and didn't hurt anybody. Maybe hurt himself, but nobody.

    Kaveh's pretty face wrinkled in pain.

    The battered bin helplessly leans on the table leg, revealing an unsealed envelope crumpled with passion. Their back-and-forth correspondence heavily blanketed a debate that belonged more to unseemly bar encounters than a business negotiation, had professional pleasantries been omitted. Letters signed "Alhaitham" probed endlessly, and this nature of his cemented Kaveh’s confidence in the sender's identity.

    "Do you think I'm stupid? Stop trying to get into my head."

    Alhaitham wants to get his automail done by Kaveh. Also meet Mehrak, the mechanic's dog!

    Summary

    Kaveh rushes to pick himself up from the floor, bracing himself on the bedside table when his knees start wobbling. “Cyno! Good, you’re here, uh—“ He winces and rubs the back of his head. “Okay, wait…why are you– whatever, that doesn’t matter. So this means that we didn’t get kidnapped last night. Great, that’s…one question answered, at least.”

    Cyno looks between him and Tighnari, raising an eyebrow. “Anything else you want to comment on?”

    “I’m almost afraid to ask,” Kaveh laughs, strained and panicked.

    “I’m not,” Tighnari says groggily from the bed. “Can you please tell us what happened?”

    “You two got married last night.”

    Summary

    Kaveh sways forward; the grip tightens. The coffee warms. The sun rises on the desert’s unforgiving sand.

    “Alhaitham,” he sighs. “Alhaitham, I want to go home.”

    It’s a truth, one Kaveh normally buries so deep it cannot even remember what it is like to see the light. But alcohol has made him soft and the familiar smell renders him weak.

    He wants to go home.

    He always wants what he cannot have.

    Flowers and sand. Paper and turpentine.

    - - -

    When Kaveh's heats reappear after years without one, Kaveh is unprepared for just how strong his need can be. It's a good thing he's not alone any longer.

    Summary

    All it takes to ruin the careful equilibrium of a non-relationship is a handmade cup, a pixelated screenshot, and Megumi's family.
