    Summary

    Hopeless.

    The word rang strong in his ears, almost louder than the thunderous quaking of Teyvat below him with each crash of rock and stone that plummeted from above.

    Maybe he was hopeless...if he can’t even do this one thing.

    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.

    Summary

    “I’m going for a swim,” Kaveh says. “I refuse to suffer in this heat any longer.”
    Not far off their camp lies a crystalline lake. Its surface had seemed so inviting when they passed it by earlier. Alhaitham finds himself longing for it now, to cool off and to wash away the smoke of the fire that clings to him like a curse. He rises to his feet, fighting the slight unsteady sway of the alcohol in his veins. He feels Kaveh watch him, and refuses to make eyecontact. Instead, he busies himself with clearing away the bottles that lie scattered around the fire.
    Then, Kaveh speaks up with a softness that catches Alhaitham slightly off guard. “Won’t you join me?”

    Or: They wish they'd never done it. And then they do it again.

    Summary

    Arataki Itto wants to make the most of his freshman year at Inazuma University.

    That means winning Nationals with the Ushio volleyball team, doing a keg-stand with one hand, not flunking biology for once and - but don't tell his Nana! - finally losing his virginity to the beautiful Miss Hina.
