    Summary

    Kaveh had been clear. No poetic wording. No room for misunderstandings. No room for miscommunication.

    “I don’t see you that way,” Alhaitham replied flatly.

    Wow. So straightforward. So concise. Zero social etiquette.

    The heartbreak had not even settled in yet and Kaveh already wanted to throw him off the building.

    Cyno @tcg_pharaoh:
    why is alhaitham on the roof

    Tighnari @actual_leader:
    what roof?? like about to jump??

    Cyno @tcg_pharaoh:
    no he’s lying down flat like a starfish on the cement and just staring at the sky

    Star_Airbnb @star_villas:
    🔗 StarFish Rooftop Villa, 2Bedroom, 1.5 Bathroom with View

    (or: Kaveh was the one who got rejected by Alhaitham, so why is his junior acting like a tragically abandoned stray cat?)

    Summary

    It does mean missing out on things like barbeques and team dinners sometimes, but it’s not as if he would have been able to participate anyway. At this point in his life, risking someone not taking his allergies seriously would mean potentially missing games, which makes it unacceptable. Jackie always makes sure he has a dish or two that’s safe when he’s over at their house, but if he was going to be the one guy sitting and drinking ginger ale instead of taking part in sharing nachos or Korean barbeque or burgers or any other delicious thing he goes in knowing he can’t have anyway, there’s no point in making a fuss about it. He eats at home, has a drink with everyone else, and he calls it a day. Easy. Safe. Foolproof.

    But also the reason it doesn’t occur to him that he hasn’t actually told Ilya about any of his allergies until it becomes immediately relevant five days into being at his cottage together.

    (how ilya learns about shane's food allergies) (and how shane learns what it's like to have someone who always saves him a seat at the table) (and who also makes sure there's food he can eat on the table to start with)

    Summary

    “You are planning to rob me or what?” He hears Rozanov call, and he can’t help but smile slightly even as he rolls his eyes, closing the door to the linen closet and feeling strangely lighter than when he opened it, reassured that he’s just trying to read into a blank page, that today doesn’t mean anything more than Rozanov doesn’t mind him being around, which is strangely flattering.

    “I don’t know,” he calls back. “Don’t Russians like diamonds and fur and stuff? Where should I start looking if I want to know what my options are?”

    He hears Rozanov laugh, and it makes him smile.

    When he joins him in the living room once more, Rozanov tugs him down to lean against him again. Shane goes easier this time, settling into it, knowing it doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that he just happens to be the closest warm body, the person on Rozanov’s roster who filled today’s slot.

    (the tuna meltdown doesn't happen) (this does not mean they get ANY better at communication)

    (or: how shane didn't realize he had a boyfriend for several months)

    Summary

    [Anomaly UKL1D-■■-130666]

    Anomaly 130666, "Roe Deer," is an overwhelmingly powerful entity inexplicably convinced it's just another human employee. It's also very friendly!

    Daydream Corp's official stance: "Secure a contract! Generous reward! Just be quick!"

    The Disaster Bureau's internal directive: "Recruit it to our side! Save it from capitalist exploitation! Help humanity!"

    All anyone knows for sure? Tell it it's not human, and you'll be [DELETED].

    PRIORITY: MAXIMUM. RECRUITMENT IS MANDATORY. COMPETITION IS FIERCE.
