Summary
“Hello, you two,” the vendor greets them as he tends to his food. His eyes are kind. Brown as chocolate.
“Two, please,” Al-Haitham says.
Kaveh spaces out, looking at the floor. This is a normal interaction. It’s normal for two men to get food together. It’s something friends do. This doesn’t have to be a big deal.
“Will that be together?”
Kaveh’s head snaps up.
“No!” he says too quickly, too loudly. The market isn’t quiet, but the word feels deafening in his ears. “We aren’t, we aren’t anything.” His voice comes out weak, like he knows the words were never meant to be spoken.
“Okay,” says the vendor, lifting his eyebrows as he goes back to preparing the food. “I meant as in paying.”
Or: It seems like everyone in Sumeru has something to say about what Al-Haitham and Kaveh are to each other. All Kaveh wants is to have control over his own story.
