    Summary

    “Kaveh,” Alhaitham calls softly. “Are you trying to stall your time sitting here? On my lap?”

    “Yes.”

    Usually, Kaveh will try to find some sort of excuse to attempt to save his pride. But at this moment, he seems really dedicated to staying seated right where he is now.

    “There’s no need for you to,” Alhaitham whispers. He tightens his grip on Kaveh, hugging him closer. “What if I want you to stay?”

    Kaveh really likes to sit on Alhaitham's lap and Alhaitham is a weak, weak man whenever he does.

    Summary

    Kaveh gets injured after his recent project isn't quite as safe as expected. While Al-Haitham cares for him, feelings kind of...get involved.

    --

    Then Kaveh looked up to Al-Haitham, smiling dizzily, “Hm? Ooh, hello, kind stranger. Wow, you’re really hand..some.”

    And Al-Haitham stiffened up, face red and reaching his hands up to hide it- and oh, there it was, the reason why he suffered through this ordeal. Kaveh was simply-

    So, so pretty.

    Summary

    “Oh, right – Alhaitham.” Kaveh claps a hand to his forehead. “Cyno, if you see him at the Akademiya tomorrow, don’t mention this to him, would you? I haven’t told him yet.”

    “Told him?” Cyno asks slowly, a wary glint in his eye. “What exactly haven’t you told him?”

    “That I’m getting married,” Kaveh grimaces. “I wanted to tell him myself – I suppose I do want him at the wedding after all, you know – but I didn’t get a chance yet. You know what it’s like, trying to have a conversation with him.”

     

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
    Kaveh is a single man. That's about it, really.

     

    or: the one in which Kaveh gets married, but not to whom you think.

    Summary

    The short of it: Kaveh caught a very rare manifestation of the Withering that was not Eleazar after clearing out a remaining pocket of said Withering by himself. Alone. In the woods. Following directions the Traveler scribbled on a tree trunk somewhere, probably. This conclusion will eventually be drawn.

    The long of it: Kaveh went home coughing up flower petals in a stroke of truly poetic misfortune, and if Alhaitham's presence exacerbated his mysterious new problem terribly, well, that was just one more way in which Kaveh would have to endure excruciating pain for fear of losing a man he could not have, did not deserve to have, but was too greedy to let go of.

    Two fools, the impasse, and the disease that punishes the unspoken thing between them. Love is as cruel as you choose to make it for yourself. Fortunately, it takes two to love, in this case. [Hanahaki Disease]

    Summary

    “I mean, do you ever stop and think about who your anonymous friend might be?" Tighnari says. "Or like, maybe it’s someone you already know or some random guy in one of your classes.”

    “No,” Kaveh says, thinking. “With my luck, if I did know him already, then he would probably be the worst person I know. Someone like Al-Haitham.” The thought is so absurd that he stops and laughs. “But that would be fucking awful.”

    In Kaveh's humble opinion, the title for The Worst Guy In The World is tied between four people: the asshole in his Tuesday eight am, the employee behind the library email account, the guy writing the university's advice column, and the student that the professor he assists always complains about.

    It would only be too convenient if they were all the same person. (They are.)
