    Summary

    The problem, Kaveh decides, wasn’t just that Alhaitham had no range, even when the similarities were so close all he’d have to do was change his name. It was that Nilou somehow expected him to fix it. Performance chemistry was not something you could brute-force by proximity and stubbornness and sheer willpower. Kaveh has already spent a full semester proving that Alhaitham was biologically immune to charm.

    Nilou rubbed her temples.

    “Okay, look. You’re actors—well, one of you is. You’re meant to create illusions. Maybe just… pretend you don’t hate each other? And then hate each other when it calls for it.”

    “We don’t hate each other,” Kaveh snapped.

    Alhaitham, beside him, nodded agreeably. “I simply find him taxing.”

    In Sumeru University’s production of Barefoot in the Park, Kaveh’s original scene partner breaks a leg. Literally. His insufferable roommate steps up to the plate. Only: they have zero chemistry and turn to alternatives, i.e, method acting.

    But it’s fine, they’re adults. What could go wrong?

    Summary

    His choices probably aren't going to win. After all, he isn't actually from this batch of people. But then he sees one category that makes him think, oh, there's no way it could be anybody else.

    Biggest Heartbreaker, the paper says in bold strokes, and Kaveh is writing down Alhaitham's name without a single moment's hesitation.

    In light of a college reunion Alhaitham is forced to attend, Kaveh finds himself volunteering to go as his date. Complications arise in the form of one pesky game of Senior Superlatives.

    Summary

    “Isn’t that like his fifth one?” Tighnari’s breath fans over the shell of Kaveh’s ear, startling him out of whatever daze he’d been in. Kaveh jumps a little, breaking his one-sided staring contest with the potted fern across the room.
    Tighnari has an amused smirk on his face when Kaveh turns to him, but says nothing as he nods his head towards the other side of the table. Kaveh doesn’t have to look to know who he means, a spark of irritation already welling in him. Instinctively, he rolls his eyes, a sigh heaving out of him.
    “Probably. He’s been in a weird mood. I think he must’ve lost a bet to Dehya or something,” Kaveh mumbles, turning back to the table to shoot an annoyed glance in the direction of the man in question—Alhaitham.

    Summary

    Alhaitham’s car was sleek, black, and subtle—meant to avoid attention. But the windows weren’t that tinted, and Kaveh wasn’t being that quiet.

    Five minutes, and Kaveh was in his lap, straddling him in the driver’s seat like he was the encore.

    “You’re a menace,” he whispered against Alhaitham’s neck.

    Alhaitham’s hands were already on his hips. “And you love it.”

    ---

    4ggravate, a rock band known for its onstage chemistry and flirtatious dynamics, sets the crowd on fire with their intense performances, especially between lead singer Kaveh and guitarist Alhaitham. Their onstage tension culminates in a public scandal that sends the internet into a frenzy.

    Summary

    “I’m glad you’re okay,” Al-Haitham says, throwing a sideways glance at Kaveh as he turns back towards his stack of essays. “It would’ve been pretty embarrassing to die in a library.”

    “Fuck you,” Kaveh coughs.

    “Sad and alone,” Al-Haitham drones, “amongst rows of old, racist philosophers.”

    Kaveh groans, finally having caught his breath for the most part. “You,” he says, his voice still raspy, “are the most annoying person I’ve ever met.”

    Al-Haitham snorts. “An honor.”

    Summary

    During a TCG game, the subject of how each in their small group of friend's (Cyno, Tighnari, Kaveh and Alhaitham) lost their virginity comes up. Kaveh is beyond panicked, because he does not want his more normal reasonable friends to know he had sex with Alhaitham of all things back in the Akademiya. He might be terrible at keeping his own secrets, but this one needs to remain a secret at all cost, because he's still hiding from shame from it, to this day!

    And Alhaitham just seemingly watches him tormented by the mistakes of their hands, as if this is all part of his master plot and Kaveh is dancing in the palm of his hand. He might look innocent focusing on TCG, following their little rules of secrecy, but Kaveh knows that's far from the truth when it comes to Alhaitham.

    Why did he take Alhaitham up on the offer, back when they were friends, of having sex with each other just to see what it was like? It is something he's regretted ever since. And it feels like Kaveh is the only one paying for that mistake.

    No one but us can know? More like, no one but Kaveh has to suffer!

    And don't get him started about how he lost the game of lots and had to bottom too---Oh, he HATES Alhaitham!!!!

    “Aren’t you going to knock?” Al-Haitham continues before Kaveh can form the words to berate him. “You've been standing there for quite some time.”

    “I-I was about to before you came.”

    Al-Haitham nods. He looks at Kaveh straight in the eye. “Go on.”

    Kaveh frowns and falls silent. He turns to face the closed door again. A heartbeat, and then two. He senses Al-Haitham moving forward, climbing the small steps until he stands under the eaves beside Kaveh. His shoulder nearly touches Kaveh's.

    Then, in a turn of events Kaveh would never foresee, he takes Kaveh’s hand. At the same time, the door swings open.

    Or, Kaveh goes to Fontaine for his sister's birthday.

    “Prove it.”

    Kaveh paused. Slowly, he turned around. “What?”

    “Prove that you won’t fall in love.”

    Kaveh tilted his head. “And how do you suggest I do that?”

    “Date me,” said Al-Haitham. “Prove to me that you won’t fall in love.”

    Kaveh keeps getting broken up with and is on the verge of giving up on love when Al-Haitham propositions him.

    Are you gloating? Are you trying to get me to leave? Kaveh wanted to ask. Do you even care?

    But that was the whole point, wasn’t it? That Al-Haitham did care. That was why he found out what he did about Sachin and Kaveh’s father, and it was Kaveh who had to come to terms with the fact that he’d been wrong.

    Do you regret staying with me?

    Kaveh swallowed. “Even…even that. I do not regret it.”

    Summary

    When Al-Haitham stands, the legs of his chair scrape against the floorboards, the sound so jarring that it stops Kaveh in his agitated pacing for a moment. “After all this time,” he says slowly, walking towards Kaveh in even paces, “you still think I am closer related to a machine than to other living, breathing humans.”

    With his shoulder blades rubbing uncomfortably against the bookshelf, Kaveh says, “You are severely lacking in empathy, that much I can assure you of. It’s not hard to take it one step further and assume that most human feelings remain a mystery to you.”

    This time, when Al-Haitham speaks, his voice has a gravelly quality to it. It’s strained, stretched thin like the string of a bow pulled taut, close to snapping in half. “Can I, in return, assume then, that you think me incapable of feeling?”

    “Not incapable, no. It’s rather that you choose not to care how people react to you.”

    “If you think I do not care what you think of me, then I must have been doing something wrong all this time,” Al-Haitham says, sharp at the edges.

    Kaveh and Al-Haitham break up. Al-Haitham offers to help Kaveh find a new roommate.

    Summary

    Mehrak has this habit of opening Kaveh’s door when it’s not fully closed, nosing her way into his office and then leaping onto his lap to snuggle her head into his stomach. So he’s not entirely unsurprised when he hears the door creak open, slow and deliberate the way his cat always does it, and he doesn’t even look up to check that it’s her before he speaks.

    “Not right now, solnyshko,” he calls distractedly, too focused on his current sketch.

    There’s silence, as there usually is since Mehrak can’t actually respond to him. Then, “Don’t be so vulgar, senior.”

    Kaveh accidentally calls Al-Haitham a pet name in a different language, and then he keeps doing it. It's too bad he forgets that Al-Haitham is fluent in all of them.

    “... Only if you want to.”

    … Unfortunately for Al-Haitham, Kaveh’s face twisted into a pout is more persuasive than it really should be.

    “Fine. But if you don’t remember in the morning, you aren’t allowed to start an argument.”

    “How could I start an argument about something I’d forgotten?”

    “You would find a way,” Al-Haitham replies, and Kaveh just huffs, crosses his arms, and shuts up. “Tell me what to write in this letter, then.”

    Summary

    The thing on the floor makes a sound at him. The sound goes something like, Meow.

    Kaveh had already been recognized as a genius by the time he was learning nursery rhymes, so he is of course very well-acquainted with the sounds and transliterations thereof made by various common animals. In fact, his recall speed for these associations is likely significantly above average. This is why he recognizes so rapidly and adeptly that there is a fucking cat on his floor even though he does not and has never owned a cat.

    “Meow,” says the cat again.

    “Yes, I know,” Kaveh says irritably, and then immediately feels bad about it. “I mean.” He clears his throat. “Meow, as well.”

    Al-Haitham seizes an opportunity to conduct an unusual experiment regarding Kaveh's usual patterns of behavior. To maximize the integrity of his results, he does not inform the subject of his observations about the study parameters.

    Or, Al-Haitham cashes in some vacation days while in cat form, and Kaveh adopts an eccentric stray in his roommate's absence.
