    Summary

    Alarm overtook Kaveh’s expression as he looked back and forth between Alhaitham and the matra, dropping his sketchpad and leaping to his feet. “Why is there a guard here? Did you get hurt?”

    “Some idiot decided poisoning me to obtain state secrets would be an optimal use of a Tuesday morning,” Alhaitham replied with a deep sigh.

    Kaveh’s hands hovered uselessly in the air for a few moments as he stared at Alhaitham. “I’m sorry, what?”

    Leaning back against the wall, Alhaitham let out a weary exhale. “Truth serum,” he said tiredly, raking his fingers through his hair then dropping his hand down to rub his throat. “I can’t lie.”

    Kaveh’s eyes widened. “Oh my gods. Are you - are you okay?” Hurrying forward, Kaveh - with his blessedly fully covered legs - guided Alhaitham onto the divan, hands steady despite the panic in his voice.

    “I don’t know. I’m just glad you’re wearing pants,” was all Alhaitham managed to answer.

    Summary

    “Ugh… what did we eat for dinner last night again? My lips feel…” Kaveh paused. Rubbed his mouth. “Kinda… swollen. Am I allergic to something?”

    Alhaitham blinked. “Perhaps it was the saffron.”

    --

    (Or: A weird device showed up on Alhaitham's desk one day. Weird things start happening. Then weirder feelings start weighing on him. And Kaveh—couldn’t do anything about it.)

    Summary

    “If you were thrown into raging waters, is it your fault if you drown?”

    For a long moment, he looked back at Lumine with a sense of passivity lingering on his face as he continued not to speak. As his mouth opened, there was a certain glint in his eyes, a ghost of what was once ferity.

    Bitter, it almost seemed bitter in a way. His gaze trained back on the traveler; there was no denying the way it was harshly cold around the edges, not at her, but clearly at a certain notion that her question had brought up.

    “Well, I’d simply learn how to swim.”

    OR

    Ever since the death of his grandmother, Alhaitham has lived his life alone and has grown comfortable being stuck within his own independency. There was no need for anyone else's interference after all, if he couldn't help himself, then no one else could either. A genetic disease abruptly turning his life upside down, he struggles with its new tolls to his independence and the looming dread that came with the thought of having to rely on another.

    Summary

    The wind moves through his dirt-streaked hair as he looks out on a broken village. His life must be quickly coming to a close now, each second bringing him closer and closer to the end he's desired for years. Giving up isn't so difficult when there's nothing left to fight for.

    Then Obito tells him he's only one suitable for the job.

    And fighting isn't so much a choice as it is something he's flung into head-first, his last decision ripped away from him in its entirety. But if he doesn't have a choice, he might as well try his best now that he's here.
