Summary
“I wanted you to stop me,” he says. “That night I packed my things. I wanted you to say—don’t go. I thought you would, but you didn’t. And I told myself you didn’t care. That you never did.”
Silence.
The kind that floods every room. The kind that knows what it’s doing.
Then—
“I thought you knew,” Alhaitham says. “I thought you were just waiting for me to say it because you didn’t want to risk being wrong.”
Kaveh stares. “Well. That’s incredibly fucking stupid.”
Alhaitham nods once. “It is.”
They stare at each other. It is not the usual staring. It is not bickering or strategizing or seeing who blinks first. It is something else. Something deeper. Something cracking.
Cyno coughs pointedly. “Do you require further divine intervention, or will you kiss now?”
Or, Kaveh assumes Alhaitham will eventually say the thing, Alhaitham assumes Kaveh already knows the thing, and everyone else in Sumeru suffers accordingly.
