    Summary

    Their faces are very close now. They’re both huffing, winded from the run. When Kaveh exhales, Al-Haitham can smell the mint gum he always liked to chew.

    “I hate you,” Kaveh spits, but he doesn’t move away.

    “I know.” Al-Haitham brings a hand up to his face. He pauses before he wipes away a tear.

    Kaveh’s trembling. “You ruined me."

    Al-Haitham exhales, slow and shuddery. “I know.”

    Kaveh closes his eyes— “I hate that you left me.”

    —and Al-Haitham kisses him.

    After four long years, Al-Haitham finally returns to the idol industry.

    Summary

    Al-Haitham hums, sitting back in his seat. His eyes get that look they always do when he's thinking– at least that had stayed the same– before he put his hands in his pockets.

    “You can stay with me, if you'd like,” he says all too casually as he pulls a hand back out his pocket. “For the time being,” he adds on a little too quickly, “until you manage to get yourself out of the mess you’ve made.”

    Kaveh was about to open his mouth to protest. Like he'd ever take an offer from him, especially with that attitude.

    But then Al-Haitham slides a key across the table to him–golden, with emerald embellishments, a carbon copy of the soulmark on Kaveh's arm– and the words on his lips dissipate into the warm tavern air.

    Summary

    Alhaitham.
    I won’t say my dear, my dearest or my love, or any other sweet names you don’t deserve. You never call me those anyway. But it doesn’t matter.

    Because this is goodbye. You won't see me for a while.

    The newly reinstated Scribe- not Acting Grand Sage anymore- with the biggest salary any Scribe as ever gained- finally free from all the pompous titles saving a nation bestow upon you- Alhaitham, just freshly clocked-out for the day, already has enough of this bullshit.

    He might have neglected Kaveh for a bit. True. But who could judge him? Do you know how many books he missed on while being the Acting Grand Sage?

    Anyway, from the unprecedented dramatics in this one greeting and first four sentences of a five-page letter, he hopes not all of Sumeru is involved in their lover’s spat.

    Summary

    “I’m in love with you. Isn’t that pathetic?” Kaveh murmurs into his ear. He is laughing—harsh and discordant and bitter.

    “I’m in love with you, and I’m dying,” Kaveh rambles. “You’re killing me, Alhaitham.”

    (Kaveh contracts hanahaki. He and Alhaitham deal with the consequences.)
