    Summary

    Alhaitham’s smiling now, endearingly so. “Does that mean you love me back?”

    Kaveh narrows his eyes. “I’m not answering that yet.”

    “I love you, Kaveh,” Alhaitham tries again.

    “Tell me again when you’re not burning up.”

    When Alhaitham falls sick, he ends up confessing his love. Unfortunately, Kaveh refuses to give him a response until he recovers.

    Summary

    "So, what great building did our master architect work on this time?"

    Nothing. Four days ago, Kaveh thought he would never work on anything again.

    "Where were you when Sumeru needed you most?"

    Dying.

    (Or: the one where Kaveh was born with Eleazar)

    Summary

    After the first day of the Interdarshan Championship, Kaveh asks Alhaitham to praise him during sex—because although the two of them disdain each other, they somehow keep ending up in bed together.

    “Strong,” Alhaitham murmurs, kissing from Kaveh’s thigh to his hip. “Resolute.”

    Stop, Kaveh wants to say. You’re wrong, you’re lying, you’re cruel.

    But he asked for this. He asked Alhaitham to take him to bed and praise him, to make him feel like he’s not a complete failure.

    Alhaitham knows that Kaveh is none of the words leaving his mouth. Kaveh is neither strong nor resolute, and he is certainly not enough.

    But Alhaitham is a linguist. And that means he’s good with words, Kaveh supposes—even when he doesn’t mean them.

    Summary

    'One ungloved hand was lifted and Alhaitham flexed it once, then balled it into a fist so tight Kaveh wondered what he imagined crushing so completely within his unrelenting grasp. He wished silently, with all the odd longing and painful reverence he could muster, if it could be him.'

    Kaveh is convinced his affection can only end in madness, Alhaitham only stokes the flames.
