    Summary

    “—In addition to the Mora owed, and being provided with housing, I’ll also pay off your outstanding debts.”

    That sounds far too good to be true. Kaveh frowns. “All this, for a painting? What’s the catch?”

    “On top of the portrait I’ve commissioned…” Alhaitham pauses, “Well, I want you to pretend to be my mate.”

    Summary

    On a random day Kaveh stumbles in a bookshop, immediately taken in by the seemingly indifferent deaf owner. Using his broken Sign Language he somehow manages to steal the heart of Alhaitham, a young bookshop owner who lives alone with his sister. Awkward pining and cuteness ensues. Guess it's time for Kaveh to brush up on his sign language skills.

    Summary

    His junior comes right up behind him as he pauses, his tone suddenly softer. “You’re angry with me.”

    “Of course I’m angry!” Kaveh spins around on heel and forced himself to stare up at his roommate, barely able to keep the tremble out of his lip. “We had plans and you just…tossed them aside. Without so much as asking me!”

    Alhaitham’s brows pinch together as he stares Kaveh down, as if trying to decipher a puzzle. “You could have just come with us-”

    “That’s not the point!” He’s far too drunk for this. It’s getting harder and harder to fight back the sting in his eyes and the tight squeeze in his chest. “I just…I need to go to bed. We can talk about this later.”

    --

    Kaveh's carried a torch for Alhaitham pretty much since the first day they met. It's obvious to everyone but the Grand Sage himself, but Kaveh isn't ready to put himself out there and risk being shut down.

    Turns out keeping his feelings to himself ends up hurting a lot more than he expected.

    In which Kaveh gaslights himself (a lot), Alhaitham's bad at feelings, Cyno's jokes are terrible, and Tighnari's just trying his best.

    Summary

    Alhaitham should have known from the start that it could only end so well.

    alternatively: five times Alhaitham tried to confess to Kaveh and one time it (sort of) worked out

    Summary

    As Kaveh sorts the jugs into two groupings—one for the punch bowl and one for the drain—a bell chimes, clattering against the front door.

    “We’re about to close,” Tighnari snaps at the entering customer.

    Kaveh springs to his feet and positions himself behind the register.

    “How can I help—”

    You.

    The customer is halfway to the counter when their eyes lock, and time stops. The man’s shoulders stiffen. Heterochromatic eyes—teal and orange, fire and water, familiar as the breath in Kaveh’s mouth, as the freckle above his left knee—widen with shock and a little disbelief. His mouth drops open, slack, and Kaveh thinks, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him speechless before.

    Oh, gods.

    Kaveh thought he’d never see Alhaitham again.

    After a year without contact, Alhaitham wanders into Kaveh's coffee shop.

    Kaveh wants nothing to do with him — he already has enough problems. But Alhaitham's determined to give him just one more, and perhaps solve a few in the process.
