    Summary

    “It’s a simple cold, Kaveh, not some novel pathogen.”

    “And because neither of us have to work today, you’re going to focus on getting better quickly.” Kaveh traces a finger down the bridge of Alhaitham’s nose.

    Alhaitham opens his mouth to respond, giving way to a hoarse cough before words. “Unnecessary. Don’t bother yourself over something so inconsequential.”

    “Haitham, darling.” Kaveh murmurs in a low, syrupy tone, cradling his lover’s face and feeling Alhaitham melt under his touch. “Let your senior take care of you.”

    Summary

    In the event Alhaitham saw Kaveh again, he thought Kaveh might've looked at him like a stranger. Like he didn't know him.

    But here, now, Kaveh looks at Alhaitham like he knows him. Like they're anything but strangers.

    He does. They are.

    They're so much more than that and they both know it. You can't throw away a decades worth of friendship and hatred and joy and heartache away in a single movement.

    They knew each other. They know each other now.

    But the difference between now and then is that today, instead of going home together, they will go their separate ways.

    Alhaitham, to the empty home they once shared.

    Kaveh, to the new life he's building.

    //or, kaveh moves out but can't seem to stay away.

    Summary

    They're broken in and made soft, like the pages of the old tomes housed on the shelves around them. They break new ground, like cracking the spine of a book. And, much like a shooting star, they shine and crash.

    -

    "Oh, now you're just being a dick on purpose!" His senior rages, hands falling to his lap. ​

    ​"An astute observation, senior."

    ​"You're such a brat sometimes," Kaveh spits, face souring, "​It makes me want to wipe that stupid grin off your face."

    ​Al-Haitham hums, both brows raised, "And how would you do that, Kaveh?" He finally closes his book, leaning backwards onto his palms. It's now that Al-Haitham gets a good look at Kaveh, his angry expression sending a lance of shameful heat through him. Kaveh looked good like this, so open and raw, the polished and kind Light of Kshahrewar shaking in his anger.

    Summary

    There are another loud series of beeps, and Alhaitham’s eyebrows are pinched together, his mouth set in a tight line as he turns to look towards the construct, before he looks back at Kaveh, expression pained and tight.
    “I’m sorry,” he says, voice trembling with strain, and no, please don’t leave me, please don’t let me go-

    Kaveh and Alhaitham get trapped in a cavern together.

    Summary

    A letter comes to a house in Sumeru City.

    My light,

    I have been absent from you too long. For that, I have no apology worthy enough for the forgiveness I ask of you now. I am ill.

    ...

    Kaveh's mother gets sick. This serves as a catalyst in many respects.

    Summary

    “Why does it not–” Kaveh’s voice ripped out in a whine. “Have you not thought about it at all since then?”

    A long pause. The longest one yet. “Who says I haven’t?”

    Lightning flashed through the window, illuminating Al-Haitham’s face. Half of it was still wrapped in shadow, blocked by Kaveh’s head, but he could see the distance between them measured, laid flat by the light. The lightning went. The room went dark. But the memory of Al-Haitham’s wide eyes did not leave him.

    What did he want?

    “Have you?” asked Kaveh.

    “Have you?” Al-Haitham’s voice was so quiet, buried under the murmur of the rain.

    Kaveh swallowed. “I mean…I thought that was obvious.”

    Kaveh accidentally sleeps with Al-Haitham. And then...keeps sleeping with him.

    Summary

    Kaveh scoffs. “Oh, please! Us as best friends? Nobody would believe it. You might as well have us pretend to be lovers!”

    He waits for Tighnari and Cyno to roll their eyes or shake their heads or say, Haha, good one, Kaveh, we should get you a stand-up comedy show in addition to all your amazing gigs. He doesn’t expect them to exchange a serious look.

    To convince the public that they don’t hate each other, famous actors Kaveh and Alhaitham pretend to be in a relationship. Too bad they actually hate each other.

    At least, Kaveh thinks they do.

    Summary

    “Long day?” Alhaitham asks, her head coming down to rest on Kaveh’s shoulder. Kaveh hums in answer, the tension leaking out of her body as Alhaitham holds her. Alhaitham presses her lips into Kaveh’s neck, arms curling around her waist to hug her even tighter. “Want to go to bed?”

    Alhaitham helps her girlfriend wind down after a long day.

    Summary

    Kaveh blinks up at the ceiling, her mind drifting ever so slightly. She thinks over the events that lead her to this moment, and how different her life might’ve been had she chosen not to make a single choice. If she’d never agreed to that project back in the Akademiya, she wouldn’t be here. If she hadn’t agreed to work on that building for Dori, she wouldn’t be here. If she hadn’t gone drinking at the Tavern that night, she wouldn’t be here.

    If she hadn’t gotten drunk a few nights ago with Alhaitham, she wouldn’t be here.

    Summary

    “The art of tarot can be difficult to process, I know,” Al-Haitham says, nodding. “You just have to accept it.”

    “STOP SAYING THAT,” Kaveh says.

    Al-Haitham picks a random card from his pile of cards and flips it over to reveal a Genius Invokation HP food card of tandoori roast chicken. “This is going to be your dinner.”

    “WHY DO YOU KNOW MY DOORDASH ORDER,” Kaveh yells, typing furiously into his phone and brandishing the app in Al-Haitham’s face. “I PLACED THE ORDER RIGHT BEFORE I WALKED THROUGH YOUR DOOR.”

    Al-Haitham is a tarot card reader. Kaveh is skeptical.

    Summary

    “You can’t tell anybody about this,” Kaveh says while he undoes the zipper of his pants, his fingers frenzied, his eyes excited. Al-Haitham feels his blood pump through him slowly, thunderously. “And for the record, I’m still straight.”

    Turns out that getting off with your best friend makes a man less straight that previously thought.

    Summary

    “Excuse me. May I sit here?”

    Al-Haitham looks up. He watches the student’s red eyes darken with recognition. Unfortunately, Al-Haitham recognizes him too.

    “Would you leave if I said ‘no’?” Al-Haitham asks.

    And just like that, the student is sliding into the seat, flipping up the desk and pulling his tablet out. He shoots Al-Haitham a glare just as the professor starts lecturing.

    (Al-Haitham, Kaveh, and the three semesters in between.)

    All the tavern noise seemed to blur together as Kaveh watched a Haravatat senior he’d never cared for move her mouth against Alhaitham’s languidly in a corner of Lambad's.

    Summary

    The sunlight's rays filter in through the curtains, casting their golden beams over Kaveh’s face as he slowly wakes. His eyelids flutter against the light as he stirs, a soft groan leaving him as he lifts a hand to shield his eyes.

    An arm is wrapped snugly around his waist, a warm chest pressed to his back, and despite the annoyance of the sunlight, Kaveh feels at peace. He snuggles backwards into the body behind him, a quiet grunt leaving the man attached to him. Kaveh twists his head to look behind him and a gentle smile grows on his face as he takes in the sight of Alhaitham.

    A slow and lazy morning.

    Summary

    Kaveh, if asked, doesn’t remember the night he left, or the days leading up to it.

    He’ll say it was a blur of emotion, of tears, of adrenaline, and that he can’t quite remember the words that were spat between the two of them.

    It’s a lie, of course. Kaveh has always had a fantastic memory, and the image of Alhaitham’s stricken face as he watches Kaveh leave will stick with him for a long time. Kaveh remembers the words he said, because there were only two, and they had been the only two spoken in days between them.

    “Goodbye, Alhaitham,” he’d whispered to the wall, unable to bear looking at Alhaitham when he had that look on his face.

    And then, Kaveh had left, and he hasn’t looked back.

    Kaveh moves out of Alhaitham's house.

    Summary

    Alhaitham doesn't hear Kaveh talking about his mother a lot, and, when one day Kaveh receives a letter from Fontaine, he almost wishes that this accepted order of things would stay the same. Because now he's facing several issues:
    1. Kaveh’s mother wanted to visit Sumeru City;
    2. She would be staying in his house;
    3. He would have to pose as Kaveh's boyfriend for the entirety of her stay?!

    Meant there was something to the method Kaveh was using today, when he needed to spill a bunch of information his body likely resisted giving. Alhaitham chugged down his wine, and, before the burning sensation in his body could disappear, produced: 

    “Yes. Sticking with plan A.” 

    Now it was Kaveh’s turn to question his sanity. Alhaitham would have been satisfied by that look on his face had he not been actively processing what he just signed up for. 

    ...What ?”

    Summary

    “Al-Haitham,” Tighnari says, a warning in his voice like he knows what Al-Haitham is thinking. Tighnari always knows what everyone’s thinking, somehow. Maybe it’s the gigantic ears. Full of secrets. “Don't do it—”
    “Don’t do what?” Kaveh says. He turns to Al-Haitham. “What are you going to—”
    Al-Haitham grabs Kaveh by the shirt and kisses him square on the mouth.

    al-haitham has his first kiss.
