Summary
Al-Haitham hums, sitting back in his seat. His eyes get that look they always do when he's thinking– at least that had stayed the same– before he put his hands in his pockets.
“You can stay with me, if you'd like,” he says all too casually as he pulls a hand back out his pocket. “For the time being,” he adds on a little too quickly, “until you manage to get yourself out of the mess you’ve made.”
Kaveh was about to open his mouth to protest. Like he'd ever take an offer from him, especially with that attitude.
But then Al-Haitham slides a key across the table to him–golden, with emerald embellishments, a carbon copy of the soulmark on Kaveh's arm– and the words on his lips dissipate into the warm tavern air.

Summary
Three hours after Al-Haitham’s grandmother’s funeral, Al-Haitham wipes the sweat off his brow, buys a one-way ticket out of Sumeru, and manages to pack his tiny life into three tidy bags.
On running, and crashing, and returning.

Summary
Kaveh meets Al-Haitham again in Lambad’s Tavern—homeless, moraless, jobless with a dendro vision cinched to his waist to prove it.
For lack of better words, Al-Haitham is shorter than he remembers.
“Archons,” he breathes, looking him up and down. “What happened to you?”
“I should be asking you that question,” Al-Haitham says, dry.
“No. No, you really shouldn’t,” Kaveh says, shaking his head.
Al-Haitham snorts.
Al-Haitham gives Kaveh an ultimatum he is desperate to change.

Summary
It is not a curse, though many would say it behaves as one. A curse is something malicious, something ugly. Kaveh chose this. He did it with the recklessness and lack of foresight of a child--but he chose this. It is not a curse.
It is a blessing. He asked for this.
Kaveh loves and he suffers for it, more physically than one might expect.

Summary
There’s a strange man who’s been frequenting Puspa Cafe for weeks now. He comes in the morning, always around the same hour when the place is not so crowded, orders a cup of black coffee, no sugar and no milk, and then sits at the right corner nearest the doors.
He never finishes his drink.

Summary
“Don’t stop,” Kaveh groans, trying to fuck himself down on Al-Haitham’s cock. “Just… Call me a slut, okay? I’m a slut, your little sl–”
“You’re not a slut, Kaveh,” Al-Haitham deadpans. He’s very fucking confused.
“I’m not a slut, I’m your slut.”
Al-Haitham blinks again, holding Kaveh still by his hips. “That doesn’t even make sense.”
Kaveh has a request, but Al-Haitham gets... hung up on the semantics.

Summary
His glass of water clinks against the clay coaster he keeps on the side table, and red ink stares angrily up at him from the book resting on his knee:
‘Thoughts?’ he asks, like it’s out of innocent curiosity. Really, Al-Haitham? You want to know my thoughts?
Fine. You asked for it. Here’s a thought:
Fuck you.
Al-Haitham feels his lips pull up into a smile.
In retrospect, starting a philosophical argument in the margins of an ancient poetry book might be one of the best ideas Al-Haitham has ever had.

Summary
It has become a habit for Alhaitham to wake in the morning to the smell of coffee and breakfast in the air. The gentle pitter-patter of steps and quiet humming in the kitchen as Kaveh sets about cooking for the two of them.
The next morning is much the same. That is until Kaveh makes a move to grab at Alhaitham’s coffee mug to hand to him and the mug falls from his hand and goes crashing towards the ground.
The quiet tranquility of the morning is broken as they both stare at it.
Alhaitham does not get his usual good morning kiss nor his goodbye kiss before he leaves for work that day.
or, Kaveh is feeling a little over his head about things. Alhaitham helps.

Summary
“Hang on—” Kaveh scrambles to his feet as Alhaitham walks down the path. “Where are you going?”
“Home.” He doesn’t stop, doesn’t wait. Just inclines his head ever so slightly to catch Kaveh’s eye from the corner of his own, sharp and bright. “Coming?”
🗝️
Alhaitham and Kaveh’s actions speak louder than their (many, many) words.

Summary
For a while, he tried to turn his grief into a game, pretending his father was still off in the desert, somewhere where he was still alive, just—away. This made his absence more bearable.
It worked until it didn't, reality crashing over him in heavy waves at night, water flowing into his lungs so that he couldn’t breathe. Snot clogged his sinuses, eyes flowing with burning streams of tears down skin that was far too sensitive for the way he’d try and wipe away the wetness. His own grief was suffocating sometimes.

The Rule of Three by thvndaga for AnimeGinaLinetti
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
28 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
“They say that earnest thanks should be given thrice, so… one more time, please.”
Kaveh has never even heard that expression. But if Alhaitham insists upon it, then fine. Surely such a rule applies to other things as well…
Alhaitham, on his part, is up for the challenge.
Or: three times Alhaitham confesses his love to Kaveh, and one time Kaveh confesses back.

Summary
There is no peace, not with Alhaitham sitting at the table in the kitchen as he usually does. Like their routine will continue as normal.
Normal is Kaveh tugging at Alhaitham’s bed hair as he passes by. It’s filling a mug with already-brewed coffee, dropping into the vacant chair, peering over at whatever document or paper Alhaitham is reading and helping himself to its contents. It’s rubbing sleep-sand from his eyes. It’s Alhaitham swiping a stray drop of milk from his cheek as Kaveh’s face burns. It’s the late-morning light holding the day in languid suspension for them to keep together.
Like normal is attainable. Like normal is everything they could ever ask for.

Mehrak records everything. Including the things Kaveh and Alhaitham don’t see.

Summary
Of all the letters he writes — words he dreams of saying, that he’ll sooner die than admit to — the ones addressed to Kaveh are the most common. He’s written, of course, to the world at large and the Sages and his grandmother, too, but the thing is — his letters are where he stores the human embarrassing, vulnerable parts of him.

Summary
“I’m dating Al-Haitham,” Kaveh says out loud, to test the words on his tongue, or something. Then again, “I’m dating Al-Haitham.”
All right. Great. So he’s dating Al-Haitham.
Al-Haitham and Kaveh get together. Nothing changes, except, no—that's not right.

Five things to do and five things not to do if your roommate happens to be Kaveh, the Light of Kshahrewar. A very detailed list made by none other than Acting Grand Sage Alhaitham of Sumeru. (Since he is the only one who has any experience in this field whatsoever. But do listen to him. He knows what he's doing.)
