    Summary

    To be honest, a conventional love story this is not. To be perfectly honest, “love story” might even be a bit of a misnomer. In all seriousness though, “vaguely obsessive and somewhat stalker-friendly story” just simply doesn’t sound as good as “love story.”

    (Wherein they meet, they fight, and years and shenanigans later, they learn to tolerate each other. But not without a parking lot of bloodshed and collateral damage.)

    Summary

    A fundamental shift occurs; Alhaitham isn’t sure of its timeline—sometime vaguely in the weeks after Kaveh’s graveyard visit—nor the exact reason for it. Perhaps it's related to the volume increase of Kaveh’s smiles, or the way he’s taken to tucking some of the flowers behind Alhaitham’s ear when he dozes off reading, or a decrease in that bitter undercurrent behind their arguments.

    All Alhaitham knows is something is happening that he has little familiarity with, and the unease that’s come along with it is just as startling as the problem itself:

    He’s losing control.

    ❁❁❁

    Alhaitham didn't expect he'd be the one to make the flowers bloom.

    Summary

    When Kaveh announces that he’ll need to temporarily stop taking suppressants, Alhaitham assumes that he must be an omega. After all, that’s the only logical reason that Kaveh would have pretended to be a beta for all this time. It’s the only logical reason that Kaveh would ask Alhaitham, an alpha, to leave the house for two weeks.

    Except Alhaitham has made a rare miscalculation—and helping Kaveh will be much more difficult than Alhaitham expected, when his own instincts keep pulling him in two different directions.

    “To clarify,” Alhaitham says, “you’re saying you’ll feel safer if I’m not here. Do I have that correct?”

    “That—that’s not exactly what I said.”

    “You said that you don’t know if it’s safe. That implies a degree of uncertainty, which means that you’ll feel less uncertain—and therefore safer—if I’m not around.” When Kaveh doesn’t respond, Alhaitham adds, “I’m just making sure I understand the situation correctly.”

    “To be honest,” Kaveh says, “I don’t think you understand the situation at all.”

    Summary

    Kaveh used to think that Alhaitham had mastered the art of ignoring him. The man would remain unflappable as he continued to read his worn copy of The Origins of Enkanomiyan Language, even when Kaveh was a hair’s breadth away from shattering the windows of their house with his severity of pitch.

    No amount of screaming, threats to throw things, or violently waving in front of him could get Alhaitham to pause in his thirst for knowledge. As it turns out, Alhaitham literally just turns his hearing aids off so he doesn’t have to listen to Kaveh.

    It’s for this exact reason that Kaveh has decided to learn Sumerian Sign Language.

    or,

    Kaveh learns sign language just to continue bickering with Alhaitham.
