Summary
In which Alhaitham’s grandmother thinks they’re a couple and, well. They play along.
Alhaitham was a good actor. No, that was an understatement: Alhaitham was an impressively skilled actor. He was utterly unfazed throughout the exchange, — even while discussing honeymoon plans — a languid arm thrown around Kaveh’s waist, rubbing absentminded circles onto his skin as if he were perfectly at ease pretending that Kaveh really was his lover, his safe space, his joy and comfort.
And it was… oddly soothing. A firm, grounding grip on his body, a compliment here and there, a demonstration of care and attention in between comments about Inazuman tourist attractions. It felt natural, even, organic, as if Alhaitham weren’t acting at all. And that was the worst part. The last thing Kaveh needed was to fall in love with his roommate (who he also considered to be his best friend, although he’d never admit that out loud).

Summary
Kaveh expects some offhandedly smug, smooth remark from Alhaitham about how Kaveh’s his senior but never acts like it, or how it was the most logical outcome given the circumstances and he’s being a child for debating with him about it. But he just mumbles, low and almost petulant, “It is what it is.” He won’t meet Kaveh’s eyes. “You can’t move out.”
Kaveh balks at him before rubbing at his face furiously. “You can’t be serious. You can’t be serious,” he laughs, almost delirious. There’s no way his luck has reached this new low. He knows the ascended heroes on Celestia are guffawing at his misfortune. “Why would you do that when you’ve always wanted me to leave anyway?”
Alhaitham stares at him for a long moment before sighing, slipping into his seat and sliding his plate of Kaveh’s carefully constructed Fatteh towards him primly. “Why indeed,” he drones, sounding exhausted. “Why indeed.”
or: in which there’s a cohabitation clause in sumeru city’s body of legislation; a pair who lives together for longer than six months, files taxes together, and presents as a couple are considered married by law. who knew. (alhaitham, apparently.)

Summary
Kaveh had been clear. No poetic wording. No room for misunderstandings. No room for miscommunication.
“I don’t see you that way,” Alhaitham replied flatly.
Wow. So straightforward. So concise. Zero social etiquette.
The heartbreak had not even settled in yet and Kaveh already wanted to throw him off the building.
Cyno @tcg_pharaoh:
why is alhaitham on the roofTighnari @actual_leader:

🔗 StarFish Rooftop Villa, 2Bedroom, 1.5 Bathroom with View(or: Kaveh was the one who got rejected by Alhaitham, so why is his junior acting like a tragically abandoned stray cat?)

Summary
“So, did you want to talk about it?” he asked.
“About what?” Alhaitham asked back.
“Don’t play dumb right now! You know what! Yesterday? Actually, these past few days?” Kaveh said. “I want you to tell me everything. What you’re thinking, feeling, your intentions, everything.”
Alhaitham was quiet for a moment. In truth, he didn’t know where to start.
or
Alhaitham really wants Kaveh’s attention.

Summary
“Alhaitham,” Kaveh drawls quietly, the alcohol hitting his system. “Why don’t you touch me?”
Alhaitham blinks. He wasn’t expected to be asked about this, of all things. This goes against everything he had gathered from his observations of Kaveh’s behavior.
“Because… you don’t like being touched?” Alhaitham supplies.
“But I do,” Kaveh whines. “And you never touch me.”
Or, Kaveh keeps reacting strangely when Alhaitham touches him. In observing why exactly Kaveh's behaving like this, Alhaitham realizes that what Kaveh desires aligns awfully close to his own.
