    Summary

    I’ve been thinking-”

    Vanitas scoffed. His slick routine of flippancy came easy to him. “Oh, this again?”

    “-and I’ve come to the conclusion that you need a hug. Desperately.”

    ___

    In which an unfathomably touch-starved Vanitas lets himself be held through the night.

    Summary

    After the first day of the Interdarshan Championship, Kaveh asks Alhaitham to praise him during sex—because although the two of them disdain each other, they somehow keep ending up in bed together.

    “Strong,” Alhaitham murmurs, kissing from Kaveh’s thigh to his hip. “Resolute.”

    Stop, Kaveh wants to say. You’re wrong, you’re lying, you’re cruel.

    But he asked for this. He asked Alhaitham to take him to bed and praise him, to make him feel like he’s not a complete failure.

    Alhaitham knows that Kaveh is none of the words leaving his mouth. Kaveh is neither strong nor resolute, and he is certainly not enough.

    But Alhaitham is a linguist. And that means he’s good with words, Kaveh supposes—even when he doesn’t mean them.

    Summary

    In thirty minutes, Alhaitham is going to be home, and Kaveh needs to be able to be his most composed self for the inevitable confrontation that will happen the second his roommate is through the door.

    Actually— no, scratch that.

    Why live through the confrontation at all when he could move out right the fuck now? If he starts packing this very second he can at least take a bag for some of his clothes and another for his most important tools. Right? Right.

    Kaveh accidentally ends a phone call with “I love you.” Alhaitham… deals with it.

    Summary

    Kaveh used to think that Alhaitham had mastered the art of ignoring him. The man would remain unflappable as he continued to read his worn copy of The Origins of Enkanomiyan Language, even when Kaveh was a hair’s breadth away from shattering the windows of their house with his severity of pitch.

    No amount of screaming, threats to throw things, or violently waving in front of him could get Alhaitham to pause in his thirst for knowledge. As it turns out, Alhaitham literally just turns his hearing aids off so he doesn’t have to listen to Kaveh.

    It’s for this exact reason that Kaveh has decided to learn Sumerian Sign Language.

    or,

    Kaveh learns sign language just to continue bickering with Alhaitham.
