    I cannot help but be hopelessly entranced by you.

    So please.

    Every habit, every sweet and bitter tendency of the gambler unsnarls before the doctor like a ball of golden yarn.

    Summary

    "Sorry, did you just say that you're my roommate? You?" Aventurine squints, looking the man up and down. Now that his eyes have recovered enough- is that- is that purple hair natural? Or is this guy cosplaying as some anime dude? It's not entirely implausible, with the combination of the eyeliner. The guy, apparently Ratio, nods.

    "Your name is Ratio," Aventurine utters in disbelief. "Ratio. Are you serious? What are you, a mathematics major?"

    "Ratio" clears his throat. Dead silence hangs in the air for a solid ten seconds.

    "What the fuck," says Aventurine.

    Or, Aventurine wakes up with little memory of who he is. Luckily, he has a hot roommate to help him out.

    Summary

    Kaveh used to think that Alhaitham had mastered the art of ignoring him. The man would remain unflappable as he continued to read his worn copy of The Origins of Enkanomiyan Language, even when Kaveh was a hair’s breadth away from shattering the windows of their house with his severity of pitch.

    No amount of screaming, threats to throw things, or violently waving in front of him could get Alhaitham to pause in his thirst for knowledge. As it turns out, Alhaitham literally just turns his hearing aids off so he doesn’t have to listen to Kaveh.

    It’s for this exact reason that Kaveh has decided to learn Sumerian Sign Language.

    or,

    Kaveh learns sign language just to continue bickering with Alhaitham.

    Summary

    “You’re doing it again,” Alhaitham accused, thoughts moving too fast for him to stop and think about their situation. “You– I don’t know what it is you’re trying to save me from, but I will not be leaving this place without you. I leave…” His vision was blackening at the edges, but still, he pushed on. “I leave with you, or not at all.”

     

    Instead of rising to his stubborn demand, Kaveh just gave him a sad smile. “You’ve always been one step ahead of everyone, Alhaitham. But not me, not this time. I can only hope you’ll forgive me one day.”

     

    -

    The price for Alhaitham to go free is high, but Kaveh is willing to pay it.
