Summary
Alhaitham finishes his novel. He dozes against the same window, smudged from where his cheek constantly presses against it. The other man completes sketch after sketch, traces racing raindrops with his fingertips, mutters to himself as he flips through notebooks. Leaves turn to fire then die in the fading sunset, until their evening rides are taken in darkness. Day in, day out, the comfort of their cyclical monotony perpetuates.
Until one blustery morning.
❅
Alhaitham's days are easy rituals. He doesn't realize, until one occurs, that he's desperately needed the disruption.

Summary
“Have you started getting ready?” Kaveh says, stepping into the room. Alhaitham lifts his head up from his book, blinking at his husband by the door way, who is in the process of putting in his earrings. He’s dressed in a nice button up shirt, but only wearing boxers below the waist.
“Ready?”
“For the dinner? To celebrate Collei’s acceptance into the Akademiya?” Kaveh replies, annoyance already apparent across his face. His eyebrow twitches, jaw clenching just the tiniest amount, and Alhaitham quickly places his book down on the table next to him.

Summary
“I thought you said you could resist me.” Kaveh playfully knees Alhaitham in the stomach with a teasing expression.
Alhaitham tries to think of an excuse. He really does. But with Kaveh staring at him with reddened lips, his chest still heaving from the previous events, all he can admit is, “I lied.”
People tend to wonder how Alhaitham can resist Kaveh. The answer is that he can't. Rather, he fails miserably trying.

Summary
The water in Fontaine was different than the water of Sumeru, not just in clarity or taste, but in spirit. Others may assume that an architect would not be able to keep his eyes off the buildings in a city he wasn’t familiar with, and yet as the clocks around him ticked Kaveh’s eyes had drifted down to the ground, as if he was scared of seeing his own reflection in the passing windows.
Or: Kaveh meets his mother for the first time in ages.

Summary
Kaveh angrily shoves the last of his bagel down his throat, then cracks his knuckles and positions his keyboard out in front of him.
you, he types furiously into the small comment box, are exactly the reason why so many fanfic authors quit writing. lucky for you i don’t give a SHIT about your blockheaded, extremely unqualified opinion. thanks for adding to my already massive view count!!! be sure to subscribe to get notified when i post another work!
Then he presses post and slams his laptop closed.
Kaveh deals with his #1 internet hater, FlyingVulture: some rando who reads his Deshret x Nabu fanfiction and leaves comments about how bad his characterization is.
Meanwhile, he also deals with his #1 real life hater, Al-Haitham: his roommate.

Summary
Alhaitham does not get drunk.
Kaveh has known him for a long, long time, and he has never seen the man drunk.
Has he slipped sideways into a parallel universe? Alhaitham can’t be drunk. Alhaitham doesn’t get drunk. Why is Alhaitham drunk in his arms?
Alhaitham doesn't get drunk, until he does, and Kaveh has to deal with the repercussions of Aether's impressive ability to put away drinks.- Language:

Summary
Let’s get one thing clear, Lambad’s not an idiot. He’s heard the gossip.
The Scribe of the Akademiya and the Light of Kshahrewar. Alhaitham and Kaveh. Kaveh and Alhaitham. Two sides of a mirror. You can’t have one without the other.
———
Or, Kaveh and Alhaitham through Lambad’s eyes.

Summary
Kaveh promises himself that he will not ruin the relationship that he and Alhaitham have finally rebuilt—so he settles on keeping his hidden feelings to himself.
Not until, a sudden change disrupts their usual routine.
It was the third time that week that Alhaitham had come home with a bouquet of flowers in his hands with a small smile on his face.
Kaveh quickly finds out that this anomaly might not only cause a ripple in their relationship, but also triggers a deep-seated fear within him.
Or Alhaitham starts bringing home flowers.
And Kaveh starts to feel an intense, gnawing ache in his chest, called none other than jealousy.

Summary
But part of him wanted to scream, wanted to grasp onto Kaveh’s wrist as he got up to dance in the tavern, wanted to throw out flowers from suitors because they were stupid and would die soon and didn’t belong in their house, wanted to pin Kaveh’s hair up with hairpins he gifted him, wrap Kaveh in the scarves that his gaze lingered on when they went shopping together. Wanted to drink from the same cup of wine. Wanted to press his lips to his.
Kaveh is loved by many. Logically speaking, this shouldn't affect Alhaitham at all.
It does.
Or: random person of the week no. 78 hits on Kaveh. Alhaitham pines.

Summary
“Kaveh,” Alhaitham calls softly. “Are you trying to stall your time sitting here? On my lap?”
“Yes.”
Usually, Kaveh will try to find some sort of excuse to attempt to save his pride. But at this moment, he seems really dedicated to staying seated right where he is now.
“There’s no need for you to,” Alhaitham whispers. He tightens his grip on Kaveh, hugging him closer. “What if I want you to stay?”
Kaveh really likes to sit on Alhaitham's lap and Alhaitham is a weak, weak man whenever he does.

Summary
“Kaveh–” Alhaitham says from behind him, just as Kaveh is yanking the door open.
“Thanks for the coffee! Goodbye!” Kaveh shouts over his shoulder, not stopping to turn back as he rushes out.
Just as the front door swings closed, he thinks he hears Alhaitham cough.
Kaveh thinks Alhaitham is getting sick, even though he won't admit it.

Summary
Of course, Kaveh would never force Alhaitham into doing something he didn’t want to, but selfishly, he wishes that his boyfriend would dramatically profess his love with all the cheesy, flowery words from the books he buries his nose in. Perhaps he’s not worthy of such verbosity.
or
Kaveh wonders why Alhaitham never says “I love you,” to him.

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
Kaveh stares at the neatly packed bento box laying before Al-Haitham, housing neatly sliced vegetables and glistening, fresh rice.
“Who made you that?” Kaveh asks, not bothering to hide the vengeance in his voice. “Your work husband?”
Al-Haitham lets the fork go slack in his hands and just stares at him. “Kaveh,” he says, in the sort of tone someone might say dude.
“Don’t dude me,” Kaveh says, aghast.
Kaveh is interested in discovering who Al-Haitham's elusive work husband is. Al-Haitham is only interested in Kaveh.

“You always complain how Kaveh drains your wallet at least once or twice a month, and yet it’s always you who indulges him.”
Alhaitham blinks.
“It’s because I don’t want to have him giving me an earful.” He reasons back in which earned a laugh from Cyno.
“That’s the most husband thing I’ve ever heard.”

“What’s your type?” Kaveh asked with Alhaitham’s head on his lap as the rest of him laid on the couch.
Alhaitham looked up at Kaveh’s questioning gaze with a puzzled look.
“My type is A positive.” He said after a second of thinking.
Kaveh couldn’t tell if he was trying to rile him up or not.
“Not that type!” Kaveh exclaimed.
“Then what?”
“You know— like a type,”
“That doesn't make sense a second time either.”
———
in which kaveh goes slightly insane trying to figure out what alhaitham’s type is and comes to the conclusion alhaitham is into brunettes.

Summary
Alhaitham steps closer, looking at Kaveh with an odd look in his eyes. He’s never seen it before.
“Did you mean it?” He asks, his words slower this time. “That you love me?”
“You–” Kaveh furrows his eyebrows, at a loss. “Were you even listening to me this whole time?”
“Kaveh, please.”
Alhaitham and Kaveh's relationship is supposed to move slowly. Yet, when Kaveh breaks down and Alhaitham takes care him, Kaveh accidentally blurts out "I love you" much too early.
