    Summary

    “You have pretty eyes, 'Father'.”

    Kakavasha didn’t touch her, nor did his eyes leave hers. Yet gradually, his awed smile died away and his expression became thoughtful.

    “Staring into my eyes is ill-advised, little one,” Arlecchino said softly, all too familiar with this reaction from people who came too close. “I can’t promise you’ll like what you see …”

    But Kakavasha, he said: “You look … sad.”

    Summary

    The toddler began to cry, and then he started to cough from trying to cry too hard, snot dripping down his face. Another adult came hurrying over to help him to his feet before they went inside to head, presumably, to the nurse’s office.

    Loud, chaotic, dirty. Everything that went against Al-Haitham’s standards.

    “Working here as what?” Kaveh blinked. “Like admin or something? That’s probably quiet and far enough from kids for you. Though—”

    “No,” interrupted Al-Haitham. “I don’t.”

    After getting fired from a prestigious architecture firm, Kaveh moves back to his hometown to raise his five-year-old brother only to find that an old college "acquaintance" is his little brother's kindergarten teacher.

    Summary

    The truth of the matter is, Kaveh has no idea how to read Alhaitham. He prides himself on being an expert at understanding people, his empathetic heart lending him the capacity to relate deeply with those around him (oftentimes to his detriment). But with Alhaitham, there is nothing for him to read; no clues from his cool expression for him to grasp. The man appears stoic all the time even during their petty bickering.

    Honestly, when was the last time Kaveh has seen the man do anything except smirk or frown? Does Alhaitham feel happiness? Has he ever seen the man laugh?

    Kaveh's mind is drawing a blank on the latter and it...bothers him deeply.

    --
    Kaveh devises a plan to get Alhaitham to smile by being aggressively nice to the man (and also maybe if he makes Alhaitham happy, he can score a discount on his rent or something). Alhaitham thinks Kaveh ate some mind-altering mushrooms and is, understandably, confused and mildly afraid.

    Summary

    If there’s one word Kaveh could use to describe his life, it would be “ordinary”. Sure, the start of his life looks more like a sad drama movie with the death of his father, being abandoned by his mother, then being treated like luggage as he was passed from one relative to another. But he grew up, got a job working as a corporate slave, and became self-sufficient enough to pay his rent while not starving. Currently, his job is tedious, and the only joy in his life comes from spending his evenings at home alone, designing and building little houses in the game "My Little Aranara Friend", but things could be worse!

    It becomes worse in the blink of an eye. He dies. And not only is he forcefully transported into the world of "My Little Aranara Friend", but he's also stuck in the body of a mob monster called a Fungus where his only hope of getting a human body is by levelling up.

    ...And also by saving the Aranara from mass extinction caused by some malevolent mysterious dark power called "The Withering" that, if left unchecked, will also destroy the world.

    Fuck his life.

    Summary

    Kaveh and Alhaitham discover some explicit fanfiction - accompanied by 'Bunveh' art - about the two of them. In true scholarly fashion, they provide full-scale literary and artistic critiques of the work... after establishing a solid real-life reference for accuracy, of course.

    Lips parted into a frozen 'O' and mouth suddenly very dry, Kaveh released Alhaitham’s wrist and snatched the paper to read it more closely.

    Each line was filthier than the last.

    “... Oh,” Kaveh eventually croaked, skimming the page and staring blankly at the messy handwriting.

    Alhaitham was glaring at the ceiling, arms crossed over his chest - though he hadn’t shoved Kaveh off of his lap as he would’ve expected him to by now. “Yeah. Oh.”

    “Their grammar is atrocious,” Kaveh breathed, unable to think of anything else to say.
