    Summary

    Kaveh's eyelashes flutter open. Alhaitham is greeted with the most beautiful shade of maroon red he has ever seen. There's no hostility in Kaveh's gaze, no insecurity. Alhaitham won't have to decode his silence today.

    No, Kaveh simply smiles, and then giggles as he tries to spin in Alhaitham's arms.

    "Dance with me," Kaveh mumbles, and Alhaitham wraps his arm around his middle a little tighter. "'Haitham, pretend you don't dislike me. Just this once."

    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

    Alhaitham wakes up with amnesia. The hows and whys of waking up with amnesia don’t seem to concern him as much as trying to figure out what the deal between him and his very attractive roommate is. Meanwhile, Kaveh has been saddled with an amnesiac roommate, many questions about how he ended up with an amnesiac roommate, and more than one love confession from the very same amnesiac roommate.

    For the sake of his sanity, he’ll ignore that third thing.

    Summary

    Kaveh is cursed to lie after downing an entire bottle of mysterious wine.

    Serves him right—Alhaitham thinks—his careless ways are finally catching up to him. It would be amusing to see Kaveh suddenly horrified by his own words as he throws compliments and praises towards the man he seems to despise the most in all of Sumeru.

    However, what happens when Kaveh continues to insult him like normal? And why is he talking so cryptically now? Why is he isolating himself in his room all day? What is that rash spreading throughout his body?

    Suddenly, this isn't the fun "I told you so" that Alhaitham thought it would be.
