Summary
Alhaitham finally looks up from his book, meeting Kaveh’s eyes for the briefest of moments before looking everywhere but. Kaveh’s learned not to take that personally. “Your sex life is that bad, then?”
“My sex life,” Kaveh snarls, burning from his hairline to his throat, “is none of your business.”
“I see,” Alhaitham replies, which has nothing to do with Kaveh’s sex life being his business and everything to do with the fact that Kaveh has just confirmed Alhaitham’s suspicions.
When Tighnari lends Kaveh a spicy book, Alhaitham puts its teachings into practice. On Kaveh.

Summary
Auguste sets Laurent up on a blind date. The universe — and Damen — have other plans.
“I am on a blind date,” the man says, holding up his hands to forestall any more explanation from the too-helpful Ancel. “My brother set me up and I just—I wasn’t entirely listening when he told me what the guy’s name was. It was something that sounded like Brayden, that’s all I remember.”
“Could it have been—was it Damen?”
Damen’s not entirely sure what makes him offer up that lifeline. He—obviously—isn’t waiting here for a blind date, and he doesn’t know this man’s brother from Adam. Even the smallest amount of questioning would show him to be a liar, and maybe even get security called on him.
Still, as the man takes a moment to size him up, look him up and down appreciatively, Damen can hardly work up the effort to care.

Summary
“He was—” Damen breaks off, swallows hard, pauses in the manner of a man soundly failing to find an explanation in what he is trying to explain, “—really pretty.”
“What,” says Nikandros, “the fuck.”
-
The first time Damen meets Laurent, he mistakes him for a pet. It doesn't go well.
No one lets him forget it.

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
Kaveh angrily shoves the last of his bagel down his throat, then cracks his knuckles and positions his keyboard out in front of him.
you, he types furiously into the small comment box, are exactly the reason why so many fanfic authors quit writing. lucky for you i don’t give a SHIT about your blockheaded, extremely unqualified opinion. thanks for adding to my already massive view count!!! be sure to subscribe to get notified when i post another work!
Then he presses post and slams his laptop closed.
Kaveh deals with his #1 internet hater, FlyingVulture: some rando who reads his Deshret x Nabu fanfiction and leaves comments about how bad his characterization is.
Meanwhile, he also deals with his #1 real life hater, Al-Haitham: his roommate.

To Dream in Shades of Green by Intensely_Reading
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
08 Oct 2023
Tags
Summary
“There are three suitors who you can romance in this game. You must complete all your requirements with one of them."
“Who are the three potential suitors?” Kaveh asks warily.
“Your three suitors are Tighnari, the blunt Palace Chamberlain; Cyno, the standoffish Captain of the Royal Guard; and Al-Haitham, the acerbic Duke of Vultur Volans.”
There's a new invention from the Yae Publishing House that turns a user's dreams into light novel stories. Kaveh has the (un)fortunate pleasure of being one of its first users.
Too bad it dumped him in a romance game.

Summary
What Al-Haitham hadn’t mentioned at the time was the fog he’d lived in before Kaveh moved in. Al-Haitham wasn’t the emotional type. He could acknowledge the regret swirling around in him while also recognizing it wasn’t productive. What was done was done and there was nothing he could do to change it, so he let himself move forward because it was the only way to go.
But then Kaveh came back anyway, the Light of Kshahrewar returning like dawn. Al-Haitham saw him—the shine of his golden hair like a beacon in the dim light of Lambad’s Tavern calling Al-Haitham back to shore—and tugged Kaveh’s arm over his shoulder before dragging him back home. He remembered the weight of Kaveh against his side, feeling the ghost of it like a phantom limb even months later. Kaveh, warm. Kaveh, smelling like wine. Kaveh. Kaveh. Kaveh.
Now that Kaveh lived there, Al-Haitham didn’t need much more light anyway. But Kaveh wanted it, and how was Al-Haitham supposed to say no?
Or, Al-Haitham misses his cat Kaveh.
(Kaveh is not a cat, that is a metaphor.)

Summary
“What is that, by the way?” He gestures at Jumpy Dumpty in Klee’s hands.
“I made it!” Klee says happily, holding it up in two hands up in the air for Al-Haitham to take a closer look. Then she takes it back close to her chest and swings it around. “It’s looooots of fun, and it keeps me company in solitary confinement, and it protects me from all the ugly monsters out in the woods.”
“Solitary confinement?”
“That’s only because of the fish,” Klee says flippantly. “Among other things. Anyway. It’s one of my best friends!”
“And it protects you how?” Al-Haitham says carefully.
“Oh.” Klee blinks. “It’s a bomb.”
Al-Haitham stands up suddenly. “Let’s go find your gege, okay?”
In her search for Kaeya, Klee unwittingly becomes the catalyst for Al-Haitham and Kaveh's relationship. According to her, love is much simpler than they give it credit for.

Summary
“Your consideration for your audience is noted,” Alhaitham said, and oh, it felt like it was supposed to, like those cool evenings in the House of Daena over lukewarm coffee and too many blueprints and Kaveh was abruptly consumed with an ache that made him want to grab onto Alhaitham and not let go.
But Kaveh was used to denying himself things, and there was still a not-insignicant part of himself that still hurt, still pulsed with pain to the cadence of hateful words said with the uncompromising tone of someone who had never been wrong in any way that mattered. So he swallowed it down, like he had swallowed the insults and the condescension and his pride again and again and again. He let it curl, acrid in his chest, like the sharp smell of turpentine. He let it settle into the hollow spaces, let it twist around his ribcage until it was indistinguishable from the rest of himself.

Summary
Kaveh scoffs. “Oh, please! Us as best friends? Nobody would believe it. You might as well have us pretend to be lovers!”
He waits for Tighnari and Cyno to roll their eyes or shake their heads or say, Haha, good one, Kaveh, we should get you a stand-up comedy show in addition to all your amazing gigs. He doesn’t expect them to exchange a serious look.
To convince the public that they don’t hate each other, famous actors Kaveh and Alhaitham pretend to be in a relationship. Too bad they actually hate each other.
At least, Kaveh thinks they do.

Summary
“Sir, kindly do not obstruct us,” says the matra sharply. “We are in the midst of carrying out an arrest.”
“An arrest?” repeats Kaveh, incredulously. “You’re arresting him? You’re arresting him? Why, what in Teyvat has he done?”
The Archon Rescue Operation is going as smoothly as it possibly can — that is, until Kaveh returns prematurely from his desert trip, and runs into Alhaitham at the absolute worst possible moment.
Of course he would.

“Al-Haitham,” Tighnari says, a warning in his voice like he knows what Al-Haitham is thinking. Tighnari always knows what everyone’s thinking, somehow. Maybe it’s the gigantic ears. Full of secrets. “Don't do it—”
“Don’t do what?” Kaveh says. He turns to Al-Haitham. “What are you going to—”
Al-Haitham grabs Kaveh by the shirt and kisses him square on the mouth.al-haitham has his first kiss.

Hey, I heard you were looking for a place to stay. My roommate also moved out recently so I have a room open.
“You’re shitting me,” said Kaveh.
“What?” Cyno tilted his head.
Kaveh held out his phone. Cyno and Tighnari leaned over until the sides of their heads were touching as they read the message.
Tighnari jerked away. “Al-Haitham sent you that?”
“I didn’t know he had it in him,” said Cyno.
“Had what?”
“A charitable soul.”
Kaveh needs a place to stay senior year of college and Al-Haitham has an open spot.

Summary
Kaveh smiles up at the stranger. "Sorry, he's right! I am taken. By him. But he doesn't know it yet."
What.
"Wait, what did you mean by that?" Al-Haitham asks faintly.
"Oh, that?" Kaveh scoffs. "You're a little dense. Obviously, I meant exactly what I said. I wouldn't want to be kept by anybody but you."
"But we are—" Al-Haitham trips over his words, trailing behind Kaveh as he walks purposefully through the city. "We aren't. Together. Neither of us has confirmed anything of the sort."
Kaveh gives him a derisory look. "And what, we don't act like it? Some things don't have to be put into words to be understood. Ah, I forgot. Haravatat. You probably wouldn't accept anything else any other way."
"It is not logical to make assumptions without empirical evidence."
"You scholarly types," Kaveh mutters. "Always so particular."
So. Al-Haitham is in love with Kaveh. This has got to be somebody's fault.
Cue the five stages of grief.

Summary
Al-Haitham stands up too and uses the few inches he has over Kaveh to lean over him. "I suppose so. Thank you, Kaveh."
He doesn't know what compels him to do it—maybe it's the electric-hot pulse still thrumming through his veins from Kaveh's touch, his gentle fingers skating along the edges of his gloves, a heel tapping against his calf—but all Al-Haitham knows that it is Kaveh, on the edge of his peripheries, dancing just out of view, and he leans forward to place a single, delicate kiss along the bridge of his nose. Right along the freckles dotting his skin like stars.
The effects are immediate. A blush spreads like a wildfire along Kaveh's skin, which has always been a little too telling for Al-Haitham, and he splutters, blinking rapidly. "Why did you—"
He touches his nose in something akin to wonder, looking at Al-Haitham almost shyly, who grins and resolves immediately to learn how to be gentle if this is how he can make Kaveh come undone in return for peeling Al-Haitham apart like a ribbon with every glancing touch.
Five times Al-Haitham kisses Kaveh on the nose and one time Kaveh returns the favor.

Summary
Theories are passed around in the form of whispers: Professor Alhaitham probably said something that angered Professor Kaveh. Professor Kaveh, unable to let the insult slide, decided to take revenge by interrupting his precious class time.
A prediction goes around that in less than ten seconds, Professor Alhaitham will proceed to offend Professor Kaveh even more with a tactless comment, which will lead to Professor Kaveh and Professor Alhaitham murdering each other. The whole class will walk out today without needing to write the test, having been traumatized by the tragic demise of the two professors.
It is not a very pleasant line of thought, but it is sadly the only logical outcome.
In which everyone is convinced Professor Alhaitham and Professor Kaveh are sworn enemies, unaware that their relationship isn’t at all what it seems.
