    Summary

    A few months after the events of “we handle things in our own way”. Stelle is much more healed now, but still has some shackles to her trauma from Amphoreus. But with their next excursion, she expects to only get better.
    A follow up conversation to the one that night, but this time a lot more fluffy and even…acknowledging?

    Summary

    “Was that a love note?” she gasps, her eyes widening. “Does our Dan Heng have a secret admirer at the bathhouse? Can I read it? Please, please, please . . .”

    “I think it is. A love note, I mean, probably sent as some sort of practical joke —”

    “Please, please, please . . .”

    “I don’t know who it’s from or why they wrote this, but —”

    “Please, please, pretty please?” Stelle begs, practically bouncing on her tiptoes now.

    To Stelle's dismay, Dan Heng starts to receive notes from a secret admirer during their stay in Okhema. And from afar, a certain demigod is thoroughly puzzled by their obliviousness . . .

    Summary

    “Um, have you ever thought about the fact that he might be in love with you?”

    Stelle froze. In fact, the entire party car seemed to stop, the air growing thick with expectation and denied realization, the words permeating every part of her brain. Even Sunday glanced over from where he sat further down the bar.

    A snap of an imaginary finger, and Stelle’s soul returned to her body.

    “I—I’m sorry, what?”

    (or, Dan Heng is in love with Stelle. Stelle might love him too. But she refuses to accept that it’s actually possible, and it’s only after she figures some things out first that she allows it to happen, and even finds the courage to confess her reciprocation.)

    Summary

    "That sounds more like love to me," Lambad says nonchalantly.

    Kaveh points at him accusingly. "It is not love, it is turmoil. I am in turmoil."

    Kaveh turns to Al-Haitham then, and part of him visibly softens at the sight. "Well, maybe part of it is love," he concedes. "I'm in love with you, Al-Haitham, did you know that?"

    Al-Haitham, despite himself, smiles. It makes Kaveh's eyes widen. "I do know that, Kaveh. You told me a few nights ago, do you remember?"

    "I think so."

    "Good. Then you should remember that I told you to tell me that when you're sober, and maybe then I'll say it back."

    Kaveh squints at him. "'Maybe?' What do you mean by 'maybe?' I have changed my mind. You are a bastard, and I am not in love with you."

    There is no winning with Kaveh. But maybe, there is no losing either.

     

    In which Kaveh keeps drunkenly confessing to Al-Haitham.

    Summary

    “Your earrings.”

    He had been so caught up in his chastising that he missed Alhaitham’s attention slip.

    “Oh. That’s right. A new jewellery stall set up today in the Grand Bazaar, and they gave discounts to the first few customers. The designs were so unique, I couldn’t just walk away without a closer look… What do you think?”

    He was sure that Alhaitham had likely only spoken to avoid a lecture, but this could be easily looked past. His unthinking question had been asked to invite further curiosity. What did Alhaitham think of his aesthetic choices? Yet, in the fleeting jab of a moment, he saw through it entirely into the heart. He saw how Alhaitham watched him, considered him, the gaze brushing his ear, his neck.

    If he kissed Alhaitham, Alhaitham would reciprocate.

    Well, of course. That was only natural. The sear of this discovery ebbed as if it hadn’t been at all; Alhaitham was raising his eyes, was parting his mouth to speak, and all else fell away.

    (Absorbed in his and Alhaitham’s unthinking intimacy, Kaveh initiates kisses between them without consideration of the consequences. Also, Kaveh finds out everyone thinks they’re married and deals with it Normally.)
