    Summary

    “You’re interested in me.” It was not a question. Despite the teasing tone, Flins’ face remained impassive. “No shame in that, Young Master.”

    “That’s–,” Illuga huffed, running his hand through his hair. “Must you always be like this?”

    “I don’t see what you mean,” he said, staring at him with his ever-imposing, lifeless eyes. “I did just say that it’s alright.”

    “I’m merely trying to understand. You don’t need to bother with the flirting that you always use to deflect the question, you know – I’m not like everyone else.”

    “You sure aren’t,” Flins said with an enigmatic smile as he poured another glass for him.

    “And stop with the water, I’ve already drunk three glasses.”

    “And yet you still seem thirsty.”

    Illuga grit his teeth, forcing the rush of blood to his cheeks to desist. “Don’t make me any angrier than I already am, Sir Flins.”

    Summary

    “Do you have any ideas on how to get rid of them?”

    “Of course,” Flins says, stepping forward. “I have just the solution.”

    He leans down and kisses him.

    Illuga can’t sleep. Flins offers an unconventional solution.

    Summary

    “You have trouble saying, ‘I love you,’” Al-Haitham states. “So, I’ve come up with a solution.”

    “What’s your solution then?”

    “We create a gesture to mean love."

    Al-Haitham taps the small of Kaveh’s back three times. Tap, tap, tap.

    I love you.

    (A translation in love.)

    Summary

    “Don’t worry, Master Illuga. I will help you court them.”

    Illuga’s eyes grow wide. “You’ll… what?”

    Flins should stop talking. He should stop talking right now.

    “Am I not your closest comrade? It is befitting of me to help my dear friend find happiness.”

    He is going to regret this. A lot.

    Flins would do anything for Illuga. Even to help him court someone else.

    Summary

    "I wonder when you'll tell me something that has an ending, Sir Flins," Illuga remembered grumbling.

    "Master Illuga," Flins had said, melancholy lacing his honeyed words, "the day I tell you a story with an ending..."

    Illuga's heart dropped to his gut.

    The day that happened...would be the day they stop meeting. For one reason or another.

    (Or, the moment Flins and Illuga met after defeating Dottore and before the League meeting.)
