    Summary

    At the end of he road, there is nothing.

    Sotenbori, Kamurocho, it’s all the same. It’s loud, filthy, artificial and obnoxious. Majima is louder, filthier, and even more artificial and obnoxious. No other way to survive in this pit of human waste and corruption.

    If the world wants to fuck with Goro Majima, that’s alright. It only makes Goro Majima want to fuck the world back even harder.

    Summary

    "Kiryu would have never used the word 'delicate' to describe Majima, but at that moment he swore that he was. Delicate like the cherry blossoms tattooed on his body, sharp and hard like the snakes, like a dagger. Like the unspoken question that lingered in his eye."

    Kiryu and Majima experience the development of a deeper bond between them amidst Majima's downfall as the patriarch of his family.

    Majima was the Mad Dog of Shimano, and there was only ever one thing to be done, when a dog went mad. They’d procrastinated long enough, but it couldn’t be forever.

    Summary

    The only thing he could really think of in that moment was a stream of consecutive, desperate, 'no's. Don't get him wrong, he loved Haru-Chan. Haru-Chan is an absolute treasure to be around and every moment spent with her was a moment coated in diamonds and gold, but right now was not one of those moments. Not when he is so damn close to getting off.

    (aka. Kiryu and Majima are getting it on but have to put it to a halt when Haruka has a nightmare)

    Summary

    Kiryu smelled like expensive cologne and cheap shampoo and he was warm and safe and boxed Majima in against the velvet of the couch with his broad shoulders. Not like a cage, not like a cage at all. More like a blanket, a jacket. Majima's facial hair was unpleasant against Kiryu's mouth, like dull fishing hooks or a cat's tongue. But Kiryu dragged the flat of his tongue over his chin and jawline and upper lip anyway, lapping at him. Lapping at that milk white skin.

    Summary

    Since settling down at the Morning Glory Orphanage, Kiryu has not spoken to Majima at all aside from one cataclysmic phone call shortly after his departure from Kamurocho. A year and a half of silence has passed, and yet here he is on Kiryu's doorstep, bringing all their unfinished business with him. Kiryu thought time apart would weaken his feelings for him. He was wrong.

    Summary

    “Why does it not–” Kaveh’s voice ripped out in a whine. “Have you not thought about it at all since then?”

    A long pause. The longest one yet. “Who says I haven’t?”

    Lightning flashed through the window, illuminating Al-Haitham’s face. Half of it was still wrapped in shadow, blocked by Kaveh’s head, but he could see the distance between them measured, laid flat by the light. The lightning went. The room went dark. But the memory of Al-Haitham’s wide eyes did not leave him.

    What did he want?

    “Have you?” asked Kaveh.

    “Have you?” Al-Haitham’s voice was so quiet, buried under the murmur of the rain.

    Kaveh swallowed. “I mean…I thought that was obvious.”

    Kaveh accidentally sleeps with Al-Haitham. And then...keeps sleeping with him.

    Summary

    And you know, fine, Al-Haitham is good-looking. But Kaveh’s matured since his early twenties. These days, on nights he can’t sleep, he imagines the kind of relationship where he and his partner schedule twenty minutes every Saturday to air out all the annoying shit the other did that week, or the kind of relationship where he’s the third thing his partner sees each morning after the pillow and the clock on the far wall. And Kaveh could never attain that sort of peace with someone who believed that his proudest work wasn’t true art because it was indulgent to the whims of the people.

    Or: the very niche Glenn Gould & Leonard Bernstein AU. Kaveh’s an orchestra conductor who writes musicals on the side, Al-Haitham’s a controversial pianist, and they argue over artistic philosophy for several thousand words.

    Summary

    Kaveh is so, so beautiful. It’s a thought that rolls around his head like a marble, constantly circling the drain of his spine. He feels it as deeply as a wound. Alhaitham wants to sweep that soft hair out of his eyes, kiss a trail from his hip to his ankle, trace over the bridge of his nose. He wants to stay when they’re done, he wants to wake up and pull Kaveh to his chest, he wants, wants, wants.

     

    It’s some sick kind of torture, being so greedy for something within reach, unable to keep it. To watch Kaveh’s eyelids flutter with a soft touch, just before steeling again. To watch him want something Alhaitham is desperate to give, and be refused every time.

     

    Kaveh's life is on a downward spiral. In an attempt to drag himself out of this pit of romantic stress and creative flatline, Kaveh takes a commission to restore a dilapidated settlement in the desert. Just a little time to think, that's all.

    Summary

    Once, Alhaitham's grandmother gave him a journal, to help him ask and answer questions he wasn't sure how to ask.

    In the end, it becomes about the question--and answer--that is Kaveh.

    Summary

    “You know me,” Alhaitham continued smoothly. “Emotionless. A husk. I’d never write romantic monologues about your voice or dream logs detailing my desire to kiss your stupid mouth. That would be ridiculous. That would mean I—feel things.”

    Kaveh’s eye twitched.

    “You absolute liar,” he whispered, half in awe, half in psychic damage.

    “I’m not lying. I’m just—quantifying performance art.”

    “You’re in love with me, and you made it a research paper.”

    “A deeply flawed paper. Still awaiting peer review.”

    “I’m going to strangle you with my robe sash.”

    Alhaitham stepped forward. Close. Too close. Intolerably, infuriatingly close.

    “So you did wear the robe to provoke me.”

    Or, love was the variable Alhaitham couldn’t control, and Kaveh was the hypothesis that broke him.

    Summary

    Kaveh paced. “Okay. Fine. Let’s play your game.”

    “It’s your game.”

    “Shut up. Assume mutual desire. Assume emotional repression. Assume shared domestic space.”

    “Assumed.”

    “Now: Is it ethical to pursue a romantic relationship if doing so risks destabilizing the existing cohabitative equilibrium?”

    Alhaitham blinked. “You’re asking if kissing me would ruin the kitchen schedule.”

    “I’m asking if kissing you would ethically constitute sabotage.”

    There was silence.

    Or, the ethics of love were complicated, but the ethics of not kissing each other were worse.

    Summary

    “Prove it.”

    Kaveh paused. Slowly, he turned around. “What?”

    “Prove that you won’t fall in love.”

    Kaveh tilted his head. “And how do you suggest I do that?”

    “Date me,” said Al-Haitham. “Prove to me that you won’t fall in love.”

    Kaveh keeps getting broken up with and is on the verge of giving up on love when Al-Haitham propositions him.

    cautioninconfidence: !love kaveh
    StreamElements: cautioninconfidence and kaveh are 100% in love paradiAYAYA

    Kaveh has successfully kept his relationship with Alhaitham a secret for three years now, so why has Alhaitham suddenly decided to publicly bring him up and link them together for all to see? Of course, it’s just to make fun of him!

    Now, both on the internet and in real life, Kaveh can’t escape the hold Alhaitham has on him — on his mind, his body, or his heart. But the question is: does he even want to?
