    Summary

    CEO Alhaitham thought hiring an architect would be a straightforward transaction.

    Enter: Kaveh.

    Talented. Infuriating. Beautiful.

    Suddenly, the design feels more like a demolition - starting with Alhaitham’s carefully structured life.

    “Hi! Sorry I’m a little late,” Kaveh said breathlessly, bright and unapologetic. “Whoever designed your lobby is an asshole - it’s like a corporate minotaur’s labyrinth. I got lost twice.”

    “I like the lobby.”

    “Of course you do,” Kaveh muttered.

    Kaveh was exactly as troublesome as his work. Everything about him was too golden, too confident, too alive for a room full of grayscale - hair like a decadent brushstroke, hands that moved as if drawing invisible lines in the air with every careless gesture.

    In other words, a man who made space bend around him.

    “Our meeting began two minutes ago,” Alhaitham said flatly. “Though I suppose I should have anticipated that you’d be the kind of person to make an entrance.”

    Kaveh simply smiled, sharp and sunlit. “And I suppose I should’ve anticipated that you’re the kind of person who’s profoundly bothered by two minutes of tardiness.”

    Summary

    “I am perfectly aware of what I am suggesting, Kaveh. I had thought that you being the ‘expert of love and expression’ wanted to prove to me, ‘hater of all things beautiful,’ that passion trumps coherent thought.”
    As Alhaitham drones on, the color returns to Kaveh’s face. Though this time, Alhaitham can’t quite tell if the light pink on the older man’s cheeks and ears are a result of anger, or something else.
    “Ah, but it appears I was mistaken. Once again, you’re all talk, no action. A barking dog with no plan to actually bite-“
    “Go sit on the divan.”

    “…huh?”
    Kaveh doesn’t give his roommate the chance to think or readjust.
    “Don’t pretend like you didn’t hear me. If you wanna play this game Alhaitham, fine. Go sit on the divan.”
    .......
    Or

    Kaveh is an altruist. He fully believes in the power of love, romance, and dreams. Alhaitham is a realist. He places his faith in the power of reason, truth, and history. After one argument too many, a romantic performance at the Zubayr theater, and a one night stand at Lambad's, the tension between the two scholars finally snaps. And if Kaveh and Alhaitham can agree on one thing, it's that they will do anything to prove a point.

    Summary

    “How would you like to do this?”

    Kaveh, uncharacteristically shy, replies, “On… on the wrist should be fine.”

    And Alhaitham can’t help it—he’s found that in the past few months of living with Kaveh, he’s so ridiculously fun to tease.

    “And not on the neck?” he teases, tilting his head down and looking up at Kaveh through his lashes. It’s not a look he employs often, because being coy isn’t really his thing, but with Kaveh, who’s fully aware that it’s an act, it’s even more fun to see him splutter and turn red despite knowing Alhaitham doesn’t act like that in actuality.

    Alhaitham's an incubus who doesn't mind feeding once in a while. Kaveh's a vampire who staunchly refuses to feed on humans except when strictly necessary. They work it out.

    Summary

    In which Alhaitham’s grandmother thinks they’re a couple and, well. They play along.

    Alhaitham was a good actor. No, that was an understatement: Alhaitham was an impressively skilled actor. He was utterly unfazed throughout the exchange, — even while discussing honeymoon plans — a languid arm thrown around Kaveh’s waist, rubbing absentminded circles onto his skin as if he were perfectly at ease pretending that Kaveh really was his lover, his safe space, his joy and comfort.

    And it was… oddly soothing. A firm, grounding grip on his body, a compliment here and there, a demonstration of care and attention in between comments about Inazuman tourist attractions. It felt natural, even, organic, as if Alhaitham weren’t acting at all. And that was the worst part. The last thing Kaveh needed was to fall in love with his roommate (who he also considered to be his best friend, although he’d never admit that out loud).

    He survived, he suffered, he seethed.

    ~

    Spider-Man Alhaitham meets Spider-Man Kaveh. One of them has had a much more fortunate life than the other, but he'll do what it takes for Kaveh to heal.
