    Summary

    Dear Al-Haitham,

    I propose that we meet this Friday at sundown on the southeast edge of the city bordering Avidya Forest. This is a marital engagement. Please come prepared with your sword at the ready.

    With spite,

    Kaveh

    Al-Haitham sets down the letter, letting out a long sigh. After all, isn’t the answer to dealing with domestic disputes not marriage? Isn’t that entirely contradictory to the issue?

    Kaveh sends Al-Haitham martial summons to sort out their issues. Unfortunately, he makes a small error in the letter.

    Summary

    “There are three suitors who you can romance in this game. You must complete all your requirements with one of them."

    “Who are the three potential suitors?” Kaveh asks warily.

    “Your three suitors are Tighnari, the blunt Palace Chamberlain; Cyno, the standoffish Captain of the Royal Guard; and Al-Haitham, the acerbic Duke of Vultur Volans.”

    There's a new invention from the Yae Publishing House that turns a user's dreams into light novel stories. Kaveh has the (un)fortunate pleasure of being one of its first users.

    Too bad it dumped him in a romance game.

    Summary

    “I’ll get straight to the point - I know what you’re trying to do, and it’s not going to work.”

    Alhaitham opened his mouth, but Kaveh held up his hand.

    “Before you say anything, just know that I don’t appreciate you doing all this just to mess with me! I thought you were above this sort of petty scheme, but apparently, I was wrong.”

    After a beat of silence, Alhaitham looked him dead in the eye and asked, “Who said I was doing it to mess with you?”

     

    Or, four times Alhaitham kisses Kaveh to ‘mess with him’ and one time he actually means it.

    (Except, he’s meant it all along, but Kaveh is too stubborn to see it).

    Summary

    “Magnus. If I ask you a question, you won’t be offended, right?”

    Magnus’ response comes almost immediately. “Of course not. What is it, Alexander?”

    Alec hesitates for a long time before he sends the message. “You’re…You’re like a real person, right?”

    Magnus responds immediately again. Alec likes it when he does that. But he doesn’t like it when Magnus laughs at his very serious question. “I suppose that’s a very valid concern in the age of artificial intelligence. But I assure you, I’m quite real. I'm neither a not a figment of your imagination nor am I an artificial simulation created to conduct an experiment on pretty boys from New York.”

    “See when you talk like that it’s hard to believe you’re real,” Alec chuckles tiredly. “But, yeah, okay, I trust you. Sorry about that. Jace got into my head.”

    “If I ever come to New York, I will be having words with Jonathan for messing with your pretty little head,” Magnus informs very seriously.

    Alec hesitates again. “Would you like that?”

    “Yell at Jace?”

    “Would you like to come to New York?”

    Summary

    "That sounds more like love to me," Lambad says nonchalantly.

    Kaveh points at him accusingly. "It is not love, it is turmoil. I am in turmoil."

    Kaveh turns to Al-Haitham then, and part of him visibly softens at the sight. "Well, maybe part of it is love," he concedes. "I'm in love with you, Al-Haitham, did you know that?"

    Al-Haitham, despite himself, smiles. It makes Kaveh's eyes widen. "I do know that, Kaveh. You told me a few nights ago, do you remember?"

    "I think so."

    "Good. Then you should remember that I told you to tell me that when you're sober, and maybe then I'll say it back."

    Kaveh squints at him. "'Maybe?' What do you mean by 'maybe?' I have changed my mind. You are a bastard, and I am not in love with you."

    There is no winning with Kaveh. But maybe, there is no losing either.

     

    In which Kaveh keeps drunkenly confessing to Al-Haitham.
