    Summary

    He thought back to how he felt, cradled in the architect’s arms in the hallway the night before.

    He thought back to the feeling of soft fingers carding through his hair, made all the sweeter with the knowledge of who’s hands were holding him so dearly.

    But most damningly, clear as day, he pictured Kaveh’s smile, warmer than the desert sands. His heart flipped at the image, and his breath caught. Even though it was only a memory, a fabrication, his heart warmed like he was soaking in the light of that smile.

     

    Oh…

     

    He thought to himself, leaning back and closing his eyes as his heart began to race.

     

    I think I do love him.

    A continuation, and a conclusion.

    Summary

    He let out a pleased sigh before he could stifle it, and leaned into that warmth. It felt like that void inside of his chest was slowly, steadily being filled, like the weight was being eased. He felt more than heard Kaveh’s hum, like the architect had been proven right about something Alhaitham was not privy to. At the same time, the hand still cradling the back of his head began to scratch at his scalp, fingers combing through his hair. He groaned appreciatively, and melted even further into Kaveh’s grasp.

    At that, Kaveh let out the prettiest little laugh, but Alhaitham was too busy basking in the warmth and comfort to feel embarrassed.

    Alhaitham learns what it's like to feel loved.

    Summary

    Kaveh and Alhaitham embark on a mission to steal the classified records of the mysterious herb in the KFC spice blend.

    Spoiler alert: it's homosexuality.

    Distraction number one: that damn corset.

    For the thousandth time that night, Alhaitham forced his eyes not to linger on the delicate strings of the bodice cinching Kaveh’s small waist.

    “Haitham.”

    Glancing up at Kaveh’s expectantly raised eyebrow beneath the cut of his mask, Alhaitham muttered, "What?”

    “I said we should probably dance if we don’t want to look suspicious,” Kaveh said slowly, eyeing him with a mix of concern and skepticism. “Are you sure you’re okay? You aren’t usually this distracted.”

    Summary

    Kaveh’s doing an admirable job, Alhaitham thinks. Flitting around the room, pretending to toast one too many times while also getting closer to their target, who looks keenly interested in him and makes Alhaitham want to rip his eyeballs out.

    So Kaveh’s doing his job a little too well, because Alhaitham sure as hell isn’t concentrating on his job. He’s forgotten what he’s supposed to be doing. Something about stealing a highly valuable gem? Heavily guarded?

    Fuck if he knows, because the only thing he can focus is on Kaveh flitting around the room in a pretty red dress. It matches his eyes, was the first thing he’d thought when Kaveh showed up. And then, quickly followed by: I want to fuck him while he’s wearing it, and he’d shaken his head so violently Kaveh actually asked him if he was feeling sick.

    Summary

    “Because everything that came out of your mouth makes me wonder if you should’ve graduated from the Akademiya at all,” Tighnari says, pinching the bridge of his nose, and then he sighs. “Sorry, bad day. Not going to lie, you’re making it worse.”

    “I take offense to that.”

    “Good. You should. Maybe it’ll make you think with your brain. I know you have a functioning one in there.”

    “What does that mean,” Kaveh despairs. He didn’t come out just to get attacked?! “How does this relate to Alhaitham’s curse?!”

    “It doesn’t,” Tighnari says flatly, “Because he doesn’t have one.”

    “Are you sure?”

    “I am sure there is no curse out there that could make Alhaitham affectionate with someone he doesn’t like, or make him spend his money willingly on them. And I am surer by the second that I need to check your brain for defects. Now, please get me a drink.”
