    Summary

    “Don’t worry,” Alhaitham reassures. “I’ve killed them all.”

    “Don’t—Alhaitham,” Kaveh hisses, forgetting about his mission to get them out of there as soon as possible. “You killed them!”

    “Because they took you.”

    Kaveh’s speechless. He hadn’t expected this level of audacity, even from Alhaitham, but he’s entirely too serious to be joking, Kaveh thinks. He really would just kill everyone because they posed a threat to Kaveh, and while it’s not something that he, as a prince, should approve of, because he doesn’t think anyone deserves to die, there’s another part of him that’s a blushing maiden that’s swooning over his knight in shining armor swooping in to save the day.

    Summary

    Calm, composed, and efficient. That’s what Alhaitham embodied whenever things didn’t go according to plan. When he got injured or sick, he always dealt with it swiftly in private. What people don’t know is that Alhaitham hates pain; he has a low pain tolerance. Nobody knows how much of a mess he is.

    This time, Kaveh walks in on him after an injury.

    Summary

    The morning follows, as it is wont to do. Kaveh feels the question bubble up in his chest again, threatening to escape his throat. He swallows it back down with considerable effort, attempting to quell the flame of his curiosity down to flickering embers. He will never snuff it out completely, but as long as he does not cross that line, as long as he does not let the sword fall, he’s allowed to have some iota of that flame left.

    Alhaitham falls asleep in the same position every time he becomes a little tipsy. Kaveh is confused, but he won't ask after the first time.

    Summary

    “What is that?”

    Oh. Oh no.

    “What is what?” Kaveh asks, quickly. Far, far too quickly.

    “That.” Alhaitham reaches forward, then. He grabs Kaveh’s chin and directs the other man’s gaze towards three hearts that have drifted off to Alhaitham’s right.

    “O-oh,” Kaveh chokes out, torn between mortified and exceedingly overwhelmed. He has some explaining to do.

    Kaveh temporarily suffers from a strange illness where hearts appear whenever his emotions are at a high. Lucky for him, those hearts seem to have a thing for Alhaitham. Go figure.

    Summary

    “Do you want to go see the fireworks?”

    “So, how much is it this time?”

    Their words collided—thin ice, shattering.

    Kaveh is loud until he isn’t. At Lantern Rite, he asks one soft thing, and the world answers wrong. Alhaitham chases him anyway—because he has finally learned that being correct is not the same as being kind, and because he can’t bear to miss Kaveh twice in the same night.
