    Summary

    In thirty minutes, Alhaitham is going to be home, and Kaveh needs to be able to be his most composed self for the inevitable confrontation that will happen the second his roommate is through the door.

    Actually— no, scratch that.

    Why live through the confrontation at all when he could move out right the fuck now? If he starts packing this very second he can at least take a bag for some of his clothes and another for his most important tools. Right? Right.

    Kaveh accidentally ends a phone call with “I love you.” Alhaitham… deals with it.

    Summary

    Kaveh stands in the open doorframe, sleepshirt swallowing him. His throat clicks, and he opens his mouth just to close it again. He rubs his arm awkwardly. Alhaitham does not speak, just waits patiently, until the seconds pass and Kaveh seems to muster up to courage to reply. “I’m cold,” he says.

    “You’re cold?” Alhaitham repeats. His eyes narrow.

    “I’m cold,” Kaveh says again, looking directly into Alhaitham’s eyes. “I’ve been so cold, Alhaitham. I can’t sleep.”

    -

    or, Kaveh shares the story of their time spent apart, slowly, in the sharing of a bed. Alhaitham listens.

    Summary

    Kaveh has tried many times to fall in love. And just as many times, he's failed. Now, an upcoming festival may force him to admit to himself that he doesn't feel it - not the romantic kind, at least. And then there are his growing feelings for Alhaitham, which certainly aren't romantic, but aren't entirely platonic, either.

    And Alhaitham? He just wants to be close to Kaveh, but that seems impossible when Kaveh keeps misinterpreting his gestures.

    (A fic about queerplatonic Alhaitham and Kaveh!)

    Summary

    “So you’re friends,” Faranak says with a dismissive shrug. “There’s no need to get fancy with it. Plenty of friends live together.”

    Alhaitham sighs, irritation prickling at his skin. “Our relationship exists outside the standard societal model of a ‘friendship’. Thus, the labels we have settled on are quite accurate. Kaveh is my companion and partner, and I am his. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have to check into our hotel.”

    A trip to Fontaine results in Faranak misunderstanding quite a bit about queerplatonic relationships, and leaves Alhaitham wondering if Kaveh is truly happy in theirs.
