    Summary

    "Okay, but objectively," Kaveh started, pacing back and forth across the living room rug, "do you guys think he's hot?"

    "We've never seen his face, Kaveh."

    "Stop looking at me like that. I just want to know if he's handsome. Is that a crime?"

    Alhaitham, who had gone very quiet, snapped his book shut.

    "I need to make a call."

    Kaveh blinked at him. "A call? To who?"

    "Work."

    Tighnari frowned. "You've never mentioned what you actually do for work."

    Alhaitham was already halfway to the door. "Because none of you would understand it."

    Kaveh is a cosplayer; in other words, a modern-day Prince Charming in a world where chivalry is dead, as quoted from Cyno.

    All artists know that art, in any form, comes from a fundamental basis of inspiration. He's a very big fan of the anonymous comic book author known by the pseudonym “Sage". He doesn't make much of an effort to hide this fact.

    The only issue is this: he also has no idea that "Sage" lives in the same apartment, one door down.

    Summary

    Barbatos is testing him.

    That is the only reasoning Varka can come up with whenever he sees his roommate's thighs, barely covered by short shorts.

    Varka was not supposed to be looking at someone like that.. not until after a ring, a vow, and a lifetime commitment was made.

    Barbatos must be testing him.

    Summary

    “So you two… are boyfriends?”

    “Absolutely!” Varka beams.

    “No, we are not,” Flins shakes his head with a light smile.

    When Varka proudly declares Flins as his boyfriend, he doesn’t expect his lover to disagree– and Flins definitely doesn’t expect it to send Varka away but bring half the town to help and chaos instead.

    Summary

    “Such a sweet little junior,” Kaveh cooed as Alhaitham brought him a cup of tea and a tin of biscuits.

    Alhaitham replied with nothing other than a low huff while he sat down next to Kaveh on the divan, seemingly unbothered by the comment which would have surely warranted an impromptu amputation had it come from anyone else.

    “Is the sweet little junior in the room with us?” Tighnari asked, raising an eyebrow.

    Or: Alhaitham and Kaveh are remarkably touchy with each each other, so their friends decide to take the matter into their own hands.

    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.
