    Summary

    “There is no we,” Alhaitham insists, with all the snobbery of a first-year. “I will not interfere in your life, and I expect you to do the same. That is the agreement.”

    “You’re impossible,” Kaveh mutters. His ears feel abnormally hot. “Where’s the respect? I’m two years your senior, you know!”

    “Hm,” Alhaitham says, his eyes never leaving the book. “If someone saw the way you’re acting, they would not think so.”

    Third-year Kaveh becomes roommates with first-year Alhaitham. And what a trial that is.

    Summary

    Kaveh prides himself on being a loyal individual. He's loyal to his career as an architect, even if his debts make him wonder why he bothers with the low cuts he earns from his commissions. He's loyal to his friends, always willing to show up when they need him. He's even loyal to his no good, down right awful, boyfriend. Well, ex-boyfriend. A bad breakup, news of cheating, and a night of drinking leads to revenge being served.

    Too bad he didn't realize that his one-night stand was about to be his boss for the foreseeable future. Surely this won't come back to bite him later, right?

    Summary

    Alhaitham’s agency throws him into a livestream dating show. As expected, he rejects everyone. Rudely.

    “Name a key scientist involved in the laws of thermodynamics.”
    “Newton?”
    “What is your stance on Dialectic of Enlightenment?”
    “Dia-what?”
    “Name a philosopher. As an advantage, a dead one.”
    “...”
    “Next.”

    It shouldn't have been as surprising when someone finally snaps.

    “Do you even know the answers to these questions, or are you just waiting for someone to say Ibn al-Haytham to boost your own ego?”

    Or: The internet is privy to Alhaitham falling in love on camera.

    Summary

    In which Alhaitham’s grandmother thinks they’re a couple and, well. They play along.

    Alhaitham was a good actor. No, that was an understatement: Alhaitham was an impressively skilled actor. He was utterly unfazed throughout the exchange, — even while discussing honeymoon plans — a languid arm thrown around Kaveh’s waist, rubbing absentminded circles onto his skin as if he were perfectly at ease pretending that Kaveh really was his lover, his safe space, his joy and comfort.

    And it was… oddly soothing. A firm, grounding grip on his body, a compliment here and there, a demonstration of care and attention in between comments about Inazuman tourist attractions. It felt natural, even, organic, as if Alhaitham weren’t acting at all. And that was the worst part. The last thing Kaveh needed was to fall in love with his roommate (who he also considered to be his best friend, although he’d never admit that out loud).

    Summary

    When Sethos left the class, the two were arguing again, this time about which textbook would be best for the class. Their altercations hadn't really stopped at any moment, because every time Professor Thoth asked a question, Kaveh's hand shot up while Alhaitham leisurely raised his, and they each confronted each other's points in increasingly passive-aggressive language.

    They hated each other's guts, and it was frankly hilarious. Why they sat right next to each other would remain a mystery, but Sethos guessed that it was probably to amp up the tension.
