    Summary

    “They say that earnest thanks should be given thrice, so… one more time, please.”

    Kaveh has never even heard that expression. But if Alhaitham insists upon it, then fine. Surely such a rule applies to other things as well…

    Alhaitham, on his part, is up for the challenge.

    Or: three times Alhaitham confesses his love to Kaveh, and one time Kaveh confesses back.

    Summary

    "After the summer's yield, Lord, it is time
    to let your shadow lengthen on the sundials
    and in the pastures let the rough winds fly."
    --Rainer Maria Rilke

    --

    All things in life are temporary . But Alhaitham's life always seems to come back to being about Kaveh.

    Summary

    Kaveh likes to think he has a relatively good memory.

    He still remembers the first time his mother had taken him to the Akademiya, sometime before he’d been enrolled, still remembers basking in the grandeur of the impressive architecture with her hand carding gently through his hair.

    He still remembers the very first time he’d lost someone close to him, still remembers the hollow feeling of his stomach dropping to his feet when he’d learned about his father’s death.

    He still remembers the very last time he’d lost someone close to him, still remembers the burning heat behind his eyes and the tightness in his throat as he’d strayed from his morals. He still remembers Alhaitham, unfazed and stoic as ever as Kaveh had retaliated, wanting to hurt Alhaitham the way he’d been hurt.

    He remembers the happier times of his life, too! He’s not just a sad sap.

    In an unfortunate, untimely turn of events, Kaveh shatters. Alhaitham is there to pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    Alhaitham’s agency throws him into a livestream dating show. As expected, he rejects everyone. Rudely.

    “Name a key scientist involved in the laws of thermodynamics.”
    “Newton?”
    “What is your stance on Dialectic of Enlightenment?”
    “Dia-what?”
    “Name a philosopher. As an advantage, a dead one.”
    “...”
    “Next.”

    It shouldn't have been as surprising when someone finally snaps.

    “Do you even know the answers to these questions, or are you just waiting for someone to say Ibn al-Haytham to boost your own ego?”

    Or: The internet is privy to Alhaitham falling in love on camera.
