Summary
“Math?” And a published academic journal, at that?
“Yes.” Ratio returns the book to his bag, carrying on, but Aventurine’s stuck on the fact that this is apparently what he does in his free time outside of composing music.
“…I thought you were a pianist.”
“I am a pianist.”
“But– math?” Even Aventurine doesn’t spend that much time thinking about math, and he spends twelve hours a day staring at financial models.
“Does it not occur to you that it's possible to have more than one interest?”
Aventurine lives the same week on repeat: eighty hours of his soul-sucking high finance job, then two nights of dancing off the stress to the beat of his favorite anonymous DJ. His move into a luxury apartment building brings him next door to Ratio, an esteemed classical composer with a love for piano. Eager to make a good impression, Aventurine keeps his clubbing habit under wraps — but he’s not the only one hiding secrets under strobe lights.

Summary
“Now that I am intimately acquainted with your dick, I think we can pull this off,” Kaveh said, faking as much confidence as he could manage. He hoped this was one of the rare instances where Alhaitham would be too blissed out from his orgasm to notice his bravado.
“I’m surprised you thought you couldn’t pull it off without sucking my dick.” Alhaitham was infuriating. He saw right through Kaveh and didn’t hesitate to insinuate as much.
After drinking too much, Kaveh wakes up in Alhaitham’s bed and thinks they must have slept together — they didn’t, actually. Unfortunately, now even Kaveh’s mother assumes they’re dating, and who is Kaveh to dissuade her of that notion?
Cue: Kaveh convincing himself that he needs to know what Alhaitham’s dick is like to fake date him properly.

Summary
“Why is there a letter on the table?” Alhaitham asked.
Kaveh shrugged. “Why don’t you open it and find out?”
“You could’ve opened it yourself,” Alhaitham retorted, bringing the mug to his lips and sipping.
“It’s addressed to you.” Kaveh slid the envelope over to the Scribe. “It would be rude to open things that are not meant for me.”
“Not to mention illegal,” Alhaitham added as he grabbed it.
He tore the envelope and retrieved the letter inside, only to be met with a surprise.
You are invited to the wedding of Kaveh and Dunyarzad—
What.In which Kaveh is getting married and Alhaitham’s world falls apart.

Summary
❝ In return for a waived overdue book fee, an eventual all-expenses-paid vacation, a date that doesn't fall apart at the seams, and so-called bragging rights, you agree to fake a life for the summer as Al-Haitham's fiancée just to help the professor-slash-librarian prove to an old friend of his that his life isn't all that bad. It's clear to you that Al-Haitham cares more than anything about restoring his brittle friendship with Kaveh, so if you can be of help in return for some stability in your disastrous love life, even if it is all for show, you don't see the harm. After all, who could ever truly fall in love with the impossibly academic and stiff Al-Haitham? ❞
