Summary
He thought of the mornings where he rolled over to find the warmth of another body laying next to him, and when there was just an inch between them and Kaveh was allowed to look all he wanted and touch all he wanted and stare into Al-Haitham’s beautiful dumb eyes as long as he wanted and how he was allowed to press their mouths together until the dark of the room gave way to the sunlight.
It was fucking embarrassing.
“Why are you blushing?” Tighnari looked mildly disgusted. “Are you thinking about your wild and crazy sex?”
Kaveh’s face flamed. “No, what the fuck? I was thinking about wholesome things like–” Grocery shopping and cuddling and wholesome, disgusting, sappy things. “No, actually. You don’t get to know. But I wouldn’t be thinking about that in public. Besides, we haven’t even–”
He clamped his mouth shut.Cyno’s eyebrows climbed all the way to the roof of his forehead. “Huh?”

Summary
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
Somehow, they end up like this, Kaveh’s shirt half off and Al-Haitham’s own shirt hastily unbuttoned, and now they’re both just staring at each other in the mortifying emptiness of Al-Haitham’s apartment.
“This isn’t supposed to be happening,” Kaveh says, chest heaving. “You go against everything I stand for.”
Al-Haitham scoffs. “Oh, get over yourself, it’s a school club.”
“Fuck you too,” Kaveh hisses, and then he kisses him.
In which two enemies (Al-Haitham and Kaveh) despite their bitter rivalry (opposing college club loyalties) come together in spite of their differences. (They hook up. Occasionally. Like Kaveh said, it wasn't supposed to happen.)
Al-Haitham just wants to get to know Kaveh. Enough of this rivalry bullshit.

Summary
The hardest part of living in the city, Derek thinks, is trading in his car for public transit. He understands the convenience and necessity, but for someone with supernatural senses, the twice-daily ride feels a little too close to torture. But you do anything for pack, right?
Laura had told him he didn't have to come with her and insisted he actually consider his options. What options? he'd thought bleakly. Of course he'd go with her—his Alpha, and his only remaining family. Even if the city's constant noise and smells grate on him.
After a particularly unpleasant incident on the subway, Derek switches his routine—and, it turns out, his entire view on city life. The front subway car isn't really any less packed than the one he'd used before, and his constant low simmer of irritation with crowds doesn't dissipate.
He sticks with the new habit, though, because the one thing the front car does have is Stiles.
