    Summary

    Kaveh begins to doubt his relationships. Do they really want him around? Are they taking pity on his poor soul? Is he just too much?

    One night at the tavern, surrounded by his friends playing TCG, he is hit with a wave of uncertainty. He feels out of place, an observer to the world around him. He becomes dizzy with the thought that maybe they would be happier if he showed himself less and less, maybe even at all. Would they even notice? Maybe it would relieve them.

    Alhaitham would notice. He always notices. When Kaveh attempts to run away, Alhaitham is there.

    Summary

    He let out a pleased sigh before he could stifle it, and leaned into that warmth. It felt like that void inside of his chest was slowly, steadily being filled, like the weight was being eased. He felt more than heard Kaveh’s hum, like the architect had been proven right about something Alhaitham was not privy to. At the same time, the hand still cradling the back of his head began to scratch at his scalp, fingers combing through his hair. He groaned appreciatively, and melted even further into Kaveh’s grasp.

    At that, Kaveh let out the prettiest little laugh, but Alhaitham was too busy basking in the warmth and comfort to feel embarrassed.

    Alhaitham learns what it's like to feel loved.
