    Summary

    Sometimes, Din doesn’t know how much of what Luke does is on purpose. Everything about Luke right now is kriffing obscene. The flex of his calves as he holds himself up, his broad shoulders hunched around his ears, the distension of veins in his forearms, visible from deft lightsaber training. His brow a little furrowed, nose sun-pink. His tensed quads, his ass—Din doesn’t know if he’d rather have Luke use all that strength to sit on his face or get him on his back to hoist his legs up high and bury his face between those glorious ass cheeks.

    or

    It’s hot out, and Din is getting all hot and bothered by Luke’s appearance.

    Summary

    “But there’s only one of me,” Rumi says. “Where are the others?”

    “They’re out in the world right now. Little girls, just like you. Only they don’t know, yet, that they are Hunters. One day, you will find them, and your soul will be complete.”

    She tries to imagine the two other girls somewhere out there. She wonders if they live in a small village like her, or if they live in a city, or by the water. She wonders what the other girls will be like. She wonders if they’ll like her.

    “I can’t wait to meet them,” Rumi says reverently.

    Summary

    “When it comes to sex, I kinda like the mess. I could concede that it isn’t the cleanest thing, but I’d be hard pressed to call it gross. You just… have to experience it to make up your mind. That’s all I’m saying.”

    Al Haitham hums. “And why would I do that? I’ve got no interest.”

    “You do,” Kaveh mumbles, moving his face even closer until his lips brush his earlobe. Despite the heat, Al Haitham shivers. “We’ve gone over this, haven’t we?”

    Al Haitham swallows, feeling the way his skin burns at Kaveh’s tone: low, breathy, dry from the lack of moisture down his throat from the heat. “It’s too hot to try any of that.”

    There’s a pause. Not a very long one, not at all, but every second feels like an eternity when Al Haitham’s tongue has grown heavy and dry in astonishingly little time. There’s a shaky breath from Kaveh, then the unmistakable feeling of his tongue just-about brushing his earlobe as Kaveh wets his lips.

    “I can make you hotter,” Kaveh suggests.

    --------------------------------

    Alternatively: there's a heatwave passing through Sumeru, and according to Al Haitham, it's just too hot to exist. Kaveh has other ideas.

    Summary

    Kaveh used to think that Alhaitham had mastered the art of ignoring him. The man would remain unflappable as he continued to read his worn copy of The Origins of Enkanomiyan Language, even when Kaveh was a hair’s breadth away from shattering the windows of their house with his severity of pitch.

    No amount of screaming, threats to throw things, or violently waving in front of him could get Alhaitham to pause in his thirst for knowledge. As it turns out, Alhaitham literally just turns his hearing aids off so he doesn’t have to listen to Kaveh.

    It’s for this exact reason that Kaveh has decided to learn Sumerian Sign Language.

    or,

    Kaveh learns sign language just to continue bickering with Alhaitham.
