    Summary

    “You look,” Alhaitham says, “like a feral poet halfway through a failed opium cleanse.”

    Kaveh throws a pillow at him. It lands with a weak thud on the floor.
    A noble effort.
    Alhaitham writes: Motor functions: impaired. Arm strength: laughable.

    It is not that Alhaitham doesn’t care.

    It’s just that Alhaitham processes care the way most people process tax codes—methodically, rationally, and with a high probability of inducing migraines in romantics.

    So he does what any well-adjusted scholar in a crisis does.

    He starts a research project.
    He calls it: Cure Efficacy and Symptom Response in One (1) Overdramatic Architect: A Longitudinal Study.

    Or, Alhaitham writes a multi-scroll thesis on Kaveh’s fever and forgets to label it “Desperate Longing, Vol. I.”

    Summary

    "Senior Kaveh! You're early today."
    "Of course, I was the one who asked to meet, how could I be late?" Kaveh said, a smile automatically forming on his own face.
    "I don't know, perhaps you got distracted by another fraudster, asking 'Oh Lord Kaveh, will you build me a house'?"
    "It was that one time," Kaveh said, his cheeks burning slightly. "You just happened to find me at a bad moment."
    "Certainly, certainly," the scholar said, mirth in his eyes, “How could anyone possibly fool the great Light of Kshahrewar?”

    There's a visiting scholar following Kaveh around, all smiles and sunshine, and Kaveh finds himself torn between his lingering unrequited feelings for a certain someone and this bold newcomer.

    But Kaveh starts to realise something strange- Alhaitham never appears at the same time as the other guy.

    Summary

    Kaveh is happy just the way it is. But that's the problem. He's happy, life is good the way they are already. But his heart isn't satisfied. In fact, it aches, every single day. It's not content with them just living together, with their friendship-that's-slightly-closer-than-just-friends. Kaveh's heart is demanding the whole deal, the entire package and all that that entails. Kaveh's selfish heart wants Alhaitham's, it wants to dance with his, hold his, commit to his.

    --

    Kaveh wants to confess his feelings to Alhaitham, but this being Kaveh and Alhaitham, it's never really that simple.

    Summary

    “I can take care of myself just fine. I don’t need you or anyone else for that matter.” Kaveh said, turning his nose upwards and his body away, already preparing to exit the conversation. “I’m going to my room, I’ve reached my limit for how long I can put up with you.”

    “If it’s really such a bother, perhaps you’ll finally move out of my house.”

    “You’re insufferable and I resent you greatly.” Kaveh added quickly before very dramatically walking to his room and slamming the door behind him.

    -

    (or, Kaveh begins to receive the admiration of a man Alhaitham doesn’t know, so he deals with it the only way he knows how: through research)

    Summary

    “Sir, kindly do not obstruct us,” says the matra sharply. “We are in the midst of carrying out an arrest.”

    “An arrest?” repeats Kaveh, incredulously. “You’re arresting him? You’re arresting him? Why, what in Teyvat has he done?”

     

    The Archon Rescue Operation is going as smoothly as it possibly can — that is, until Kaveh returns prematurely from his desert trip, and runs into Alhaitham at the absolute worst possible moment.

    Of course he would.
