Summary
Kaveh’s tattoos are praised by celebrities and magazines alike, but somewhere along the path to his success, the meaning bled out of his art. Then, after ten long years, Alhaitham rides back into his life on a motorcycle - rugged, quick-witted, and infuriatingly unforgettable.
With love laced into the ink Kaveh had long since stopped believing in, something beautiful finally begins to take shape once more.
It was too immaculate, really. The sleek countertops, glass partitions, and impossibly white walls gleamed under soft, ambient lighting like they’d never known the comfort of a chaos Kaveh had lived with his entire life. Every surface was made of the kind of material that rejected fingerprints and resisted clutter - sanitized, both physically and emotionally.
Though the district his new studio was in was posh and high-end, it was surprisingly devoid of a single decent coffee shop. Perhaps the elitist locals had never actually tasted good coffee and simply mistook bitterness in a designer cup for depth - much like their conversations.
So far, Kaveh had choked down three lattes and a macchiato that tasted like lukewarm regret with a splash of oat milk.

Summary
Alhaitham exhales roughly and turns back towards his room. Moments later, he hears six pairs of footsteps following him.
He swings his door open and raises a brow.
Kaveh’s eyes narrow. He peeks inside, taking in the muddy floors, the flowers strewn all over the place, and the leaves scattering the floors. Alhaitham watches Kaveh scan the room before his eyes flit over Alhaitham, and then the Aranara, and then Alhaitham again.
Through it all, the Aranara continue to stare at Alhaitham like he’s the biggest disappointment they’ve ever had the misfortune of meeting.
Kaveh’s lips twitch.
“Don’t you dare.”

Summary
“Could you help me put it on?”
Taking the necklace from Kaveh with a lingering brush of their fingers, he stepped close and suddenly, Kaveh was realizing why asking for Alhaitham's help was a very, very bad idea.
The air turned heavy as Alhaitham laid the necklace around his neck, making sure that the pendant rested on the warmed skin right above his heart.
Then, without breaking eye contact, he leaned down and pressed a reverent kiss on Kaveh's nape—so featherlight that Kaveh wondered if he was imagining things—just above the clasp of the necklace.
—
in which Kaveh and Alhaitham are in love with each other but don’t know it yet.

Summary
Alhaitham intently fixes his gaze on him, his expression unreadable. He studies him with that infuriating stillness that Kaveh had learned to love, like he's trying to translate an ancient language, not listening to someone digging their own grave.
"I see," Alhaitham says, finally grabbing his cup; "if that's what you want, senior. We can do that."
And Kaveh could leave it like that. Alhaitham had agreed faster than he imagined. But Kaveh fills the silence again, compulsively and fired up by his heart trying to escape through his throat.
"I just... I don't want this trip to be awkward for any of us. You know how they are, they will worry and I..." Kaveh makes a pause and takes a deep breath. "This is between us. I want to keep it like that. For now"
There's a pregnant pause before Alhaitham's voice breaks it.
"Alright," a sip of tea, "If that's what you need."
Or; Kaveh come with a plan to fake his relationship with his ex for a week trip with their friends. What starts as a simple lie to avoid drama becomes a fragile chance to see if what they lost can ever be rebuilt from what Kaveh thinks has become ashes.

Throwing up a bouquet of mourning flowers, Alhaitham concluded that fate hated him.
