    Summary

    As Kaveh sorts the jugs into two groupings—one for the punch bowl and one for the drain—a bell chimes, clattering against the front door.

    “We’re about to close,” Tighnari snaps at the entering customer.

    Kaveh springs to his feet and positions himself behind the register.

    “How can I help—”

    You.

    The customer is halfway to the counter when their eyes lock, and time stops. The man’s shoulders stiffen. Heterochromatic eyes—teal and orange, fire and water, familiar as the breath in Kaveh’s mouth, as the freckle above his left knee—widen with shock and a little disbelief. His mouth drops open, slack, and Kaveh thinks, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him speechless before.

    Oh, gods.

    Kaveh thought he’d never see Alhaitham again.

    After a year without contact, Alhaitham wanders into Kaveh's coffee shop.

    Kaveh wants nothing to do with him — he already has enough problems. But Alhaitham's determined to give him just one more, and perhaps solve a few in the process.

    Summary

    “Why does it not–” Kaveh’s voice ripped out in a whine. “Have you not thought about it at all since then?”

    A long pause. The longest one yet. “Who says I haven’t?”

    Lightning flashed through the window, illuminating Al-Haitham’s face. Half of it was still wrapped in shadow, blocked by Kaveh’s head, but he could see the distance between them measured, laid flat by the light. The lightning went. The room went dark. But the memory of Al-Haitham’s wide eyes did not leave him.

    What did he want?

    “Have you?” asked Kaveh.

    “Have you?” Al-Haitham’s voice was so quiet, buried under the murmur of the rain.

    Kaveh swallowed. “I mean…I thought that was obvious.”

    Kaveh accidentally sleeps with Al-Haitham. And then...keeps sleeping with him.

    Summary

    “’Morning,” Mike grumbled, voice low from sleep.

    “Noon,” Max corrected, as if she hadn’t only woken up thirty minutes before him.

    “Wow,” he replied, squinting at the light. “Nobody thought to wake me?”

    It happened casually after that, so casually it almost didn’t register at first. El laughed at something Lucas said, then turned toward Mike and leaned in, instinctively, easily, pressing a kiss to his lips like it was the most logical way to say good morning to him.

     

    .........

    Or: Mike and Will have been together for a year and a half when El comes back. The problem is, El assumes she and Mike are still together. The bigger problem is that Mike doesn’t realize Will thinks he might choose her.

    Summary

    “Archons preserve my patience,” Tighnari groans, massaging his temples.

    “You split your household chores. You bring him his lunch at the Akademiya daily. Alhaitham looks after you when he thinks you’re sick. You two have weekly dinner dates. Kaveh, you do realize that with the list you’ve given me you’re both just a signed document short of being legally-wedded spouses, right?”

    “Perhaps Kaveh’s just ‘twisted up’ after they’ve unknowingly ‘tied the knot’.” Cyno muses thoughtfully.

    Silence.

    “... Did you get it? Because they’re practically married? And Kaveh’s—”

    “Cyno, qamari, I adore you, but finish that statement and you will find yourself exiled from my bed for the next month.”

    Cyno wisely snaps his mouth shut.

    (Or, after the Interdarshan Championship, Kaveh finds that his living situation with Alhaitham has become… peaceful, more or less?

    But why? Nothing’s changed between him and his stoic junior. He simply prepares Alhaitham’s meals, sees him off to the Akademiya, takes care of their home, arranges his schedule so he doesn’t miss their weekly dinners at Lambad’s—

    But that’s completely normal roommate behavior.

    … Right?)
