    Summary

    “It was nighttime, and we were looking out on Ay-Khanoum. We were flirting a little bit too. You told me you loved me. I told you I already knew. And then I asked you… 'If I loved you back, what would we do?’”

    “And what did I say?”

    “You said, ‘If it were true, I would want to watch the stars from the highest point of Ay-Khanoum with you. I would want to admire this city we built together, holding your hand in mine. I would want to talk with you, and drink with you—and fall into your arms at the end of the day… fall asleep with you.’”

    (Through sheer coincidence, Alhaitham and Kaveh regain the memories of their previous samsara.)

    Summary

    And then, his Akasha terminal lights up with an incoming message.

    Al-Haitham huffs harshly through his nose and opens his eyes. Hand on the terminal, he powers it on and finds both his brows raising.

    It’s a message from Kaveh.

    [3:46 am]
    i think i love him

    (Al-Haitham runs a case study on Kaveh and his love life.)

    Summary

    Mehrak has this habit of opening Kaveh’s door when it’s not fully closed, nosing her way into his office and then leaping onto his lap to snuggle her head into his stomach. So he’s not entirely unsurprised when he hears the door creak open, slow and deliberate the way his cat always does it, and he doesn’t even look up to check that it’s her before he speaks.

    “Not right now, solnyshko,” he calls distractedly, too focused on his current sketch.

    There’s silence, as there usually is since Mehrak can’t actually respond to him. Then, “Don’t be so vulgar, senior.”

    Kaveh accidentally calls Al-Haitham a pet name in a different language, and then he keeps doing it. It's too bad he forgets that Al-Haitham is fluent in all of them.

    “Kaveh,” he confirms. “He is renowned in his line of work for his skill and passion.”

    Lord Kusanali nods as if he had proved one of her silent queries. “I was hoping he would lend me a hand with this project,”

    “I’m sure he would be honored,” he says earnestly.

    She smiles, cheeks dimpling. “Do you really think so?”

    Alhaitham smiles back, small, easy. “I know him quite well."

    -

    Or, the one where Alhaitham is terribly, terribly in love with Kaveh.

    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.

    Alhaitham purses his lips. “What did you say your name was again?”

    “I didn’t,” says Kaveh weakly. He swallows.

    Okay. There are two options here.

    Option A: Tell the truth. Yeah, uh, hi. I’m Kaveh. I’m your roommate. Um. We slept together last night. Hopefully this doesn’t make things weird! Nice to meet you!

    Option B: Run.

    Kaveh is horrified to find out that his one night stand is actually his elusive new roommate.

    “I’m dating Al-Haitham,” Kaveh says out loud, to test the words on his tongue, or something. Then again, “I’m dating Al-Haitham.”

    All right. Great. So he’s dating Al-Haitham.

    Al-Haitham and Kaveh get together. Nothing changes, except, no—that's not right.

    Then he presses post and slams his laptop closed.

    Meanwhile, he also deals with his #1 real life hater, Al-Haitham: his roommate.

    Under the pale moonlight, a long braid of silver hair, decorated with vibrant flowers, swayed with him to the singing of the Aranara. The ankle-high water shimmered and wavered as he danced. By his lips was a wooden flute that he held skillfully in his hands, singing a wordless ode.

    Kaveh observed, completely captivated and breathless by the ethereal sight.

    In another world, Alhaitham was never a student who was destined to become the Grand Scribe of the Akademiya. Instead, he walked a different path worth protecting.
