    Summary

    People enter Al-Haitham’s life, and then they leave. That is just the way it is: first it was his parents, and then it was his grandmother, and soon enough, it will be Kaveh. He's already set to have a future that other people could only dream of brushing with their fingers.

    There are much greater things than Al-Haitham in Kaveh's destiny.

    Sometimes all it takes is ten years.

    Summary

    Alhaitham purses his lips. “What did you say your name was again?”

    “I didn’t,” says Kaveh weakly. He swallows.

    Okay. There are two options here.

    Option A: Tell the truth. Yeah, uh, hi. I’m Kaveh. I’m your roommate. Um. We slept together last night. Hopefully this doesn’t make things weird! Nice to meet you!

    Option B: Run.

    Kaveh is horrified to find out that his one night stand is actually his elusive new roommate.

    Summary

    “WHAT THE FUCK,” says Kaveh. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING INSIDE MY APARTMENT?”

    “Oh,” says Al-Haitham from where he is currently standing by the island. “I knew these mugs looked familiar.”

    Kaveh’s jaw drops.

    Al-Haitham blinks a few times. “Well.”

    Kaveh knows it's probably a bad idea to start sleeping with your ex-boyfriend that you share an apartment with. Probably.

    Summary

    And despite that... Kaveh is… “Lovesick?”

    Kaveh’s hands move to cover his face, palms muffling his words as he mutters, “It’s—not quite like that.”

    “Well, the ‘sick’ aspect is accurate, at least.”

    “No shit,” Kaveh snorts. “The ‘love’ component, though—it’s, uh—”

    “You’re not in love?”

    He coughs. “The greenhouse in my lungs begs to differ. I—it’s more that my body is mourning a love it knows can’t ever be requited.”

    For all the negative feelings Alhaitham’s encountered over the past twelve hours, the sensation that creeps through him now is…

    Unfamiliar.

    Unknowable.

    Despite all the languages he’s fluent in, Alhaitham is unable to conjure a word or phrase with which he can immediately label it. He just knows that whatever this feeling is, it’s unbelievably unpleasant. Like his body is stationary, yet his internal organs are plummeting into the Abyss.

    “You love someone who doesn’t love you back?” he asks after a moment.

    Kaveh has Hanahaki. That much is known. But who he loves, and whether Alhaitham will be able to save him, is up in the air.

    Summary

    "Forgive me, Lord Phainon, I can't help but be curious. How could you possibly not know that Lord Mydei has been your spouse for... four months?"

    "To be honest, Miss Castorice, I haven't the slightest idea."

    Through a series of events that may or may not have involved a Kremnoan courting ritual, Phainon had somehow managed to ask for Mydei's hand in marriage.

    For some reason, Mydei said yes.
