    Summary

    “You know, I never asked for this!” Kaveh yells. “Do you really think I haven’t been trying? Do you think I love having you hold all of these things over my head? I swear every second I spend here gets more and more unbearable!”

    The room seemed to pulse with the intensity of their emotions. Alhaitham’s mouth tugs down into a frown, and something flickers in his eyes.“If it’s so unbearable, then why haven't you left?”

    Kaveh's breath caught in his throat as the question echoed through the air.

    It was a question that had found its way into Kaveh's thoughts time and time again.

    Yet, no matter how frequently he confronted the question 'Why?', Kaveh knew the answer all too well. It lurked within, an answer he was determined to ignore—a truth isolated within the deepest recesses of his heart. Nevertheless, it remained an ever-present ghost that would continue to haunt him.

    (Or, an argument between Alhaitham and Kaveh leads to some feelings being revealed)

    Summary

    Alhaitham does not get drunk.

    Kaveh has known him for a long, long time, and he has never seen the man drunk.

    Has he slipped sideways into a parallel universe? Alhaitham can’t be drunk. Alhaitham doesn’t get drunk. Why is Alhaitham drunk in his arms?


    Alhaitham doesn't get drunk, until he does, and Kaveh has to deal with the repercussions of Aether's impressive ability to put away drinks.

    Summary

    There are another loud series of beeps, and Alhaitham’s eyebrows are pinched together, his mouth set in a tight line as he turns to look towards the construct, before he looks back at Kaveh, expression pained and tight.
    “I’m sorry,” he says, voice trembling with strain, and no, please don’t leave me, please don’t let me go-

    Kaveh and Alhaitham get trapped in a cavern together.

    Summary

    “It is my business because - ” Kaveh blurts out the first normal reason that he can think of, “- I’m going to help you get with Zhongli.”

    “You’re going to what-

    Kaveh’s brain finally catches up to his mouth and, oh god, Kaveh’s going to what?

    Okay. This isn’t ideal, but he can do this. This can be his way of repaying Alhaitham for letting Kaveh stay with him. This can be a totally normal thing, easy peasy, no weird obsession with Alhaitham’s love life, he’s just being a good housemate. He helps Alhaitham get together with Zhongli, Alhaitham becomes indebted to him and tada! He won’t make Kaveh do all his chores and better yet, Kaveh will be invited to the wedding!

    (The wedding? Kaveh feels like he's going to be sick.)

    Or: Kaveh’s convinced that Alhaitham’s in love with his perfect, well-mannered and well-dressed penpal, Zhongli, who’s staying with them in Sumeru for a few days. There’s no possible way that this could go wrong.

    Summary

    “Whyever in the world would you be retiring? You’re barely thirty.”

    “Extenuating circumstances,” Alhaitham says. “I wanted an opportunity to get my affairs in order.”

    “Your affairs? What, are you—”

    “I’m sick, Kaveh. Haven’t you noticed?”

    “The coughing. Sure.” Kaveh swallows, then keeps talking like he didn’t just exhibit such an obvious nervous tell. “So, you’re sick. Is that any reason to upend your life? I understand needing to take the time to get better, but—”

    “I am not going to get better. I am going to get worse, and then I am going to die,” Alhaitham says plainly.
