    Summary

    When Kaveh discovers that Alhaitham has been reading a book about human sexuality and kinks, he generously offers to assist Alhaitham with some sexual exploration. It’s a risky proposal, and one that could end very badly—thanks to their falling-out years ago, the two of them have trust issues galore.

    But it turns out that Kaveh and Alhaitham are surprisingly good at trust and communication when it comes to sex…which raises some questions about the nature of their relationship, and where exactly this whole experiment is leading them.

    “Look,” Kaveh says, “if you’re going to approach sexual pleasure like an experiment, most potential partners won’t take too kindly to the idea of you having sex with them for science. Therefore, to spare all the poor people you’d inevitably insult in your quest for data, I am willing to be that person.”

    “How charitable of you,” Alhaitham says.

    “And I assume that you’re somewhat comfortable with the idea of having sex with me,” Kaveh adds, “or else you wouldn’t have been so willing to have my fingers in your mouth just now.”

    Summary

    If there is one thing Kaveh is good at, it’s architecture and arguing with his roommate. Their arguments reach a new high, when Kaveh’s latest project leaves no time for chores and their home turns into a mess of unwashed dishes and discarded sketches. Threats and snappy comments are thrown around, but Alhaitham doesn’t pay it much thought. Neither of them act on their threats anyways.

    Or at least he thought so. Alhaitham is confronted with his bitter misconception, when Kaveh doesn’t return home, after threating to move out. Only then he realizes how silent those halls feel without the lively chatter of his roommate. Shortly after, Alhaitham decides to look for his ex-roommate and apologize.

    Summary

    Kaveh regrets ever accepting this new commission. It is not the pay nor the project itself – both are to the architect’s satisfaction. No, the problem is the client and her obsession with Kaveh.

    She believes them to be “destined for each other” and takes Kaveh’s rejection as playing hard to get. In his desperation Kaveh lies about having a boyfriend, a certain scribe he shares a home with and is oh-so madly in love with. Now he has to convince Alhaitham to play the part, when his client insists on meeting the “love of his life”.

    Summary

    Tangled in Kaveh’s bed like this, sharing breath, Al-Haitham is once again reminded that he can never get a full read on his friend. He can never anticipate when it ends, and foolishly, despite knowing it always ends, he’d hoped that tonight, it might not end at all. It—this tacit experiment, conducted between the two of them, several nights a week.

    The summer before Kaveh is scheduled to graduate, he and Al-Haitham convene in his room at night in pursuit of knowledge.

As exciting as it is to finally be around family again, there's just one problem: he barely knows them, and he's not sure if they even want to get to know him.
