Summary
“No,” Edamura said, when he saw Laurent leaning against an ornate pillar in the lobby of his hotel.
Laurent simply grinned and waited for Edamura to stalk past the elevator bank and reception desk to join him.
Technically, he merely strode by Laurent, refusing to look him in the eyes, but he slowed his irritation-charged pace and glanced back, just the slightest bit, when Laurent didn’t immediately fall into step beside him.
He looked good, Laurent thought.
***
Laurent had developed many skills over the years. With languages, in the bedroom, or even something as simple as convincing other people that his decisions were ones they'd made on their own. He had a good life. A full one, with everything a man could need. A wallet bulging with his marks' money, more stamps in his passport than he'd ever thought possible, and a string of potential lovers he could pick through at will, if he wanted.
That, you see, was the flaw in all of his perfect plans. There was only one thing that Laurent truly wanted. One person, who hated his guts.
The other problem was even more difficult to unravel. Laurent was exceptional at everything, except this: telling anyone, especially himself, the truth.

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.)

An Emergency Decision by iridescentmirrorshkvh

Summary
“List me then.”
Kaveh took some time to respond. Furtive glances cast between the book on his lap and to where Alhaitham sat on the opposite side of the table told him that Kaveh was still ruminating. Until –
“You?” Kaveh drew himself upright, his eyes sharp with focus colliding with Alhaitham’s. “What? Why?”
He doubted that Tighnari had received the same hostility when offering his services. “If you don’t want to list Tighnari, then naturally the responsibility would fall to me. I’m as knowledgeable of your history of ailments as he is.”
“That’s not the issue,” Kaveh rebuked, leaning forwards with a sudden ferocity. “You would be just as willing to travel to Liyue if the circumstances came to it? I don’t buy it. What’s in this for you?”
Not for the first time he questioned how it had come to this between them, despite fully knowing the answer. Fruitless endeavours. “An emergency contact of my own.”
(Alhaitham offers to be Kaveh’s emergency contact in exchange for Kaveh acting as his. As to how things pertaining to Kaveh usually transpire, this does not go as planned, and a difficult truth comes to light.)

the four acts - change, honesty, understanding, acceptance by iridescentmirrorshkvh
Fandom: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
24 Jun 2024
Summary
Change and Honesty - Upon inadvertently transforming Alhaitham from a cat back to a human by somehow fulfilling an unknown desire, Kaveh believes Alhaitham to crave human connection and resolves to establish a bond of honesty between them under the guise of his own self-reflection. When this backfires, Kaveh is confronted with the question he’s tried to smother for years – why did Alhaitham allow him to stay? Why was Kaveh here? (Queerplatonic)
Understanding and Acceptance - Having established a newfound understanding between them, Kaveh better attempts to relearn Alhaitham, overturning his previous misconceptions, as well as better understanding his own self. When the banned studying of the Ley Line that previously transfigured Alhaitham becomes a point of debate within the Akademiya, Kaveh and Alhaitham unite on a common front, which challenges Kaveh's recent understanding of Alhaitham, as he realises his own feelings towards Alhaitham aren't as simple as he believed. (Slowburn romance)
