Kaveh used to think that Alhaitham had mastered the art of ignoring him. The man would remain unflappable as he continued to read his worn copy of The Origins of Enkanomiyan Language, even when Kaveh was a hair’s breadth away from shattering the windows of their house with his severity of pitch.
No amount of screaming, threats to throw things, or violently waving in front of him could get Alhaitham to pause in his thirst for knowledge. As it turns out, Alhaitham literally just turns his hearing aids off so he doesn’t have to listen to Kaveh.
It’s for this exact reason that Kaveh has decided to learn Sumerian Sign Language.
or,
Kaveh learns sign language just to continue bickering with Alhaitham.

Huge thanks to Maeyari for allowing me to read their amazing story! This story was recommended to me by someone and omg, it did not disappoint!!! I love the different views and how both chapters were mirrored but I think my fav moment was the quiet “do it again” from Haitham. That pure moment of vulnerability was wonderful.
