Summary
"Why don't you draw anything else?"
"Huh? What else would I draw?" Kaveh says.
Alhaitham looks around at the abundance of flora and fauna that surrounds them. "What else," he says, dry.
Kaveh picks up drawing again. He fills up a sketchbook with drawings of Alhaitham... and only Alhaitham.

Summary
"Fine, then," he says, as the robe slips off his shoulders in a stream of silk,
"..Draw me comme l'un de tes 'hommes Fontanoises.'"
...
Alhaitham lounges amid a sea of jewel toned fabrics, and he sparkles among them with the translucent brilliance of a diamond himself. Kaveh can see his mind at work within the pages, can watch his eyes light up or see the scrunch of his brow, and it is the only thing about Alhaitham he cannot seem to pin down to the sketch.
Kaveh wants to capture his lover in a portrait.

Summary
If it were anyone else, Kaveh would be offended at such a blatant display of trying to make Kaveh feel inferior.
But in reality, this is what they do.

Summary
Kaveh took hold of his wrist and tugged him closer, granting Al-Haitham no time to defend himself. He wore such a sly smile, no doubt gratified by the thought of being fought over. If only everyone else were as aware as Al-Haitham was of the man’s enormous ego; they would find him far less likable.
“Does thinking of another man touching me frustrate you?” Kaveh teased, weaving through Al-Haitham’s fingers and caressing his forearm. “Hate the fact that you weren’t the first?”

one more night, one more time by Babenclaw for Nymphelia

Summary
His eyes remain locked on the soft curve of Kaveh’s bottom lip. When Kaveh is awake, he has this habit of biting it between his teeth. He’ll bite at it until it bleeds, bent over a design for someone who will never know the blood shed in pursuit of an ideal they will never understand.
Not like Alhaitham.
Go to bed.
Kaveh sighs in his sleep. His eyelids flutter.
Alhaitham’s room is feet away. He could walk the path in the dark.
He should go.
He doesn’t.

Summary
It was the heaviness like drowning that made it most difficult for Kaveh to breathe. Sadness, he was told, should be a transient feeling. One that should flee with the onslaught of sunshine, to be weathered, not worn.
He lies on his bed. The room is dark. The world is still. It suffocates, like an improvisation for healing should.
or
Kaveh receives a surprise on his graduation day.

Summary
Alhaitham wants to be more physically involved in his arrangement with Kaveh, and has acquired the means to do so…but it might take more than that for him to truly feel satisfied with their relationship.
Alhaitham holds up the synthetic dick for Kaveh to see. “I—”
“Oh!” Kaveh’s eyebrows lift in surprise. “You know, Alhaitham, you should give a man some warning before you whip out your dick like that.”
“I was thinking of using this during sex. Will that work?”
“Huh? Oh, uh, yes.” Kaveh wets his lips. “That absolutely works.” His eyes briefly flick downward to Alhaitham’s groin before returning to his face. “If—if you’re comfortable being that involved, that is. Something like this would definitely require more, um…physicality.”
Yes, it would, Alhaitham thinks, a bit peeved. That’s the point.

Summary
Kaveh is tired of having bad one-night stands, and Alhaitham is tired of hearing about them—which begins to make him wonder if he should try taking matters into his own hands.
“Don’t sell yourself short, Kaveh,” Alhaitham says. “I’m sure the men you sleep with are quite complimentary when they talk about you to others.”
“They’d better be,” Kaveh mutters, arms crossed. “But no amount of compliments will make up for the complete insult to my ass. You probably haven’t noticed, Alhaitham, but I happen to have an exceptional one, and it’s a total waste for it to be unused and unappreciated.”
Heat flares in Alhaitham’s face. “Oh,” he says, “I’ve noticed.”

A Treatise on the Inherent Moral Failures of Domestic Cohabitation (or, How to Fall in Love Through the Socratic Method and Poorly Timed Silences) by the_untamed_poet25
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
11 Aug 2025

Summary
Kaveh paced. “Okay. Fine. Let’s play your game.”
“It’s your game.”
“Shut up. Assume mutual desire. Assume emotional repression. Assume shared domestic space.”
“Assumed.”
“Now: Is it ethical to pursue a romantic relationship if doing so risks destabilizing the existing cohabitative equilibrium?”
Alhaitham blinked. “You’re asking if kissing me would ruin the kitchen schedule.”
“I’m asking if kissing you would ethically constitute sabotage.”
There was silence.
Or, the ethics of love were complicated, but the ethics of not kissing each other were worse.

Summary
Rationally, Kaveh shouldn’t ask Alhaitham if he wants Kaveh to help him. He really shouldn’t. Sex could ruin this peace treaty they have non-verbally contracted between them. Sex could mean things will get horribly, terribly awkward. Sex would mean that Kaveh would never be able to look at Alhaitham without thinking of the memory of Alhaitham’s hands all over his body.
“Have you really thought this through?” Alhaitham asks once again, and he hasn’t sounded this serious since his offer to house Kaveh so many moons ago.
“This is my fault, as you said. I should take responsibility.” Kaveh weakly replies, licking his lips nervously. “Right?”

Summary
“Speaking of cute,” Kaveh continues, “the client- you know, the one who gave me Parry? She’s totally my type.” Kaveh sighs wistfully. “It’s a shame we met through work. Otherwise, I would’ve taken her out to dinner sometime.”
With what mora? Alhaitham thinks, the witty remark on the tip of his tongue. However, the curious side of Alhaitham takes over his vocal functions.
“Your type is… cute?”
Kaveh blinks at his unusual question but recovers quickly. “Yeah, pretty much. But that’s basically everybody’s type.”
Alhaitham’s type, he surmises, is tall, blond, red-eyed architects, so he’s not sure where Kaveh is getting his evidence from.

Alhaitham learns that Kaveh’s type is “cute.” He loses his mind a little.

Summary
Following the conclusion of the Interdarshan Championship, Alhaitham and Kaveh return to a house full of moving boxes.
As Alhaitham cuts into a piece of chicken, the table wobbles.
“Oh,” Kaveh says, from the doorway. “Sorry, uh…”
He scrambles toward the table and rifles through his box of things for a few moments, until he produces the wooden shim that he’d slipped underneath the table months ago to stabilize it.
Alhaitham stares wordlessly at the wedged piece of wood in Kaveh’s hand.

Summary
In the months and year following Kaveh moving in with him, Alhaitham can't help but notice the subtle ways he's changed since their Akademiya days--and not all of them are reassuring differences. As their new relationship slowly forges, Alhaitham learns that he wasn't present for one of the worst times of Kaveh's life... but he's here now. Even if it's the best he can do, he can make sure Kaveh knows that he isn't going anywhere. For Kaveh, that's enough.

Summary
Alhaitham was right. The wine tasted awful. But Kaveh had to make sure. One palm flat on the table, the other set on Alhaitham's shoulder, he pressed close to the other man, licking him open and then inside, tongue exploring every part of that sweet mouth. The shape of his teeth, his tongue, the sensitive upper palate.
The wine tasted awful, but Alhaitham's lips did not.
Alhaitham finished all the wine, so what else is there for Kaveh to do but taste it on his lips?

A Mora For Your Thoughts by Cavalierious for eraiklys

28 Jul 2025

Summary
So, the fortune-teller cursed him.
There was something in that dust, and either Kaveh’s passed out on the ground somewhere having the wildest fever dream, or it’s poison and he’s dead. This being a personal hell might be the better option because at least that way Kaveh can wave off Alhaitham’s sordid thoughts that he cannot fucking ignore.
After their coffee, Kaveh accidentally left that robe on the back of the kitchen chair. When he went to get it, he found that Alhaitham had already stolen it back, and though he couldn’t see the man, he certainly heard his thoughts scraping over his mind: He smells good. He always smells so good.
Kaveh gets cursed, resulting in hearing Alhaitham's thoughts--specifically about him. And oh, there's a lot to be heard.

“Why would I want anyone but me to see this?” Kaveh grins, sanguine eyes piercing him, face raw and honest. His voice echoes in the stillness of the bathroom, yet it rings crystal clear in Al-Haitham’s head.

Summary
Nilou clasps her hands. “We think you’re in love.”
“We’re not,” they say. In unison.
Faruzan throws a pillow at them.
“Let me be clear,” Tighnari says, pacing like a professor confronting academic fraud. “You live together. You argue like rivals, care like husbands, and kissed in front of the fridge. You wrote an entire academic paper about each other’s emotional habits.”
“That was a thought experiment,” Alhaitham replies, coolly.
“It had three footnotes about Kaveh’s eyelashes,” Cyno deadpans.
“They’re very symmetrical,” Alhaitham mutters.
In which the thesis is long, the denial is longer, and the sexual tension could power the entire Akademiya.

“Kaveh.”
“And he—huh? Yes?”
“You do realize that was Alhaitham, right?”
A long pause. “Who?”
Tighnari’s palm meets his face. “Sorry, of course you of all people wouldn’t care to know about these things.” He clears his throat. And then, “Prince Alhaitham.”
A beat. “Oh.”
In which Kaveh is a tailor indebted to Dori, Alhaitham is the Prince of Sumeru, and they meet at a masquerade. Or, a little twist on the Cinderella trope.

Summary
“Is this something we both want?” Alhaitham retreated his lips, and for a brief moment, Kaveh felt himself chasing after him, as if he wasn’t ready to separate yet. Instead, he nodded, sheepishly, his feelings, mind and body battling between being assertive and playful, and shyly accepting Haitham’s advances.
“Tell me,” Haitham frowned, swallowing, “I want an answer this time, Kaveh.”
“Yes, Archons, yes,” Kaveh hissed, “yes,” and, “kiss me, moron,” so Alhaitham did. Maybe just this once, Kaveh could ignore rationality as his eyes shut.
