    Summary

    Phainon's expression doesn't change, still blank and almost as if he's looking through Mydei. He doesn't like it.

    "Are you alright?" He asks, kicking at his thigh lightly.

    Phainon hums, gaze still thousands of years away before it refocuses sharply on Mydei. "When am I not?" He asks, lips tilting in what's shaping up to be a smirk.

    "Do you want me to answer that?" Mydei asks drily, crossing his arms.

    Summary

    Alhaitham is fast asleep on the middle couch—the only one able to contain his too-long legs. Half the cushions are on the floor. The stained glass windows diffuse the moonlight to soft greens and emeralds that kiss his skin and give his hair an almost bioluminescent glow where it hits the streaks of colour hidden amongst steel grey strands. The gem between his collarbones gleams like a cat's eye, startlingly reflective.

    It's the most charming sight Kaveh's ever seen, even if there's a bit of drool escaping from the corner of Alhaitham's mouth.

    Kaveh comes home after a long trip.

    Summary

    Phainon seems to pick up on his thinly veiled dismissal, his smile falling.

    “I—yeah. Yes. You’re right, I’m sorry. Um—”

    “Goodnight, Phainon,” Mydei says, a touch gentler, pushing off the railing and heading back to the door.

    He can just barely hear Phainon’s soft, “Goodnight, Mydeimos,” before he’s shutting the chamber door behind him.

    Or: a mutual, unprompted kiss is left unresolved. Mydei and Phainon aren't quite sure how to breach the subject.

    Summary

    “Khaslana,” Mydei responds, his voice hesitant as his finger finally dips down to press over the injury Khaslana had previously been hiding.

    Over the startling crack in his skin.

    Oh.

    Khaslana’s eyes widen, his arm shooting out to grip Mydei’s wrist. Mydei offers no protest, simply staring, frozen in shock.

    “You’re…breaking,” Mydei mutters, so quietly.

    Khaslana screws his eyes shut.

    “You weren’t supposed to see.”

    Or: Khaslana trudges through millions of cycles, stealing Coreflames and losing himself all while he clings to the memories from his original Flame-Chase Journey, and of his original Mydeimos.

    Summary

    “You speak to me as if I’m a fool,” Veritas says to dark, frigid air. “Would I be here if your problem was mere drunken clumsiness?”

    Quiet. “I don’t know why you’re here at all.”

    “I received a call that you were passed out drunk and in need of a ride home,” he says. “I received a call, because it appears that I am the emergency contact in your phone.”

    Aventurine’s expression closes off. He laughs dully and says, “Caught me,” as Veritas unlocks the car.
    |
    Strangely, curiously, unfathomably, Veritas Ratio is Aventurine's emergency contact.
