    Summary

    Dehya had had roommates before, and this was so not it.

    "I'm just gonna say what everyone is secretly thinking," Dehya said. She leaned forward on her elbows, rested her chin on her hands with a serious expression on her face - but not without a hint of a bold smile.

    "Alhaitham… are you in love with Kaveh?"

    Everyone's eyes went wide and jaws dropped at Dehya's extremely forward question. And then, of course, all eyes went immediately to Alhaitham.

    ---

    In which the Sumeru gang pounces upon an opportunity to question Alhaitham directly, and Alhaitham goes to great lengths to give anything but a coherent answer.

    Summary

    Alhaitham confirmed Kaveh's thoughts before he could speak them aloud. "I believe we've found our temple."

    "Really?" Kaveh's heart soared. "Oh, this is incredible! To think it was locked in a Domain this entire time... that must be how it escaped Deshret's grief-stricken rampage! Alhaitham, we —" He froze when he looked over and saw the deep grimace settling on his companion's features. "... what? What is it?"

    "You might not be able to read what it says, but I can." He closed his eyes, clearing his throat before he translated aloud:

     

    "To receive the Goddess' blessing,
    all desires must be embraced,
    all secrets must become truths,
    and all flesh must become one."

     

    Kaveh's excitement deflated like an overripe Harra Fruit. "Oh... don't tell me that means what I think it means...!"

    OR: A temple dedicated to the Goddess of Flowers is very intent on having Kaveh and Alhaitham participate in a fertility ritual.

    Summary

    That’s your concern?” Tighnari groans, “He literally puts your fantasy game card on the back of his lanyard. Collei. High school girls. Idols?”

    The gears in Kaveh’s head turn.

    “Kaveh, I should note that Al-Haitham often stares at the back of his lanyard with what must practically be heart eyes by his standards. Sometimes, I also—”

    Cyno.” Al-Haitham pleads,

    “ —hear him sigh.” Cyno finishes, ignoring Al-Haitham’s plight completely.

    3 times Al-Haitham's affection sends Kaveh spiraling + 1 time Kaveh returns the favour

    Summary

    (Omegas really do think they’re the only disadvantaged ones. Untrue. Woefully untrue. Alhaitham would’ve rather been a scholar and Kaveh knows that, which is why his words hit below the belt. His alpha curdles in two ways. One, because he has a protective instinct, which is why he was shoved into armor in the first place. Two, because Kaveh is his—)

    (And that’s Kaveh’s fault, making him think the dumbest shit. The smell of his pre-heat settles into Alhaitham’s bones, his nose, his entire being, and his alpha lurches, those over-protective instincts kicking into overdrive. And—)

    This is why he was knighted, he supposes. Still. Kaveh knows just where to strike, quickly, efficiently. “Maybe you should’ve been the knight, then,” drawls Alhaitham, knowing it’ll piss Kaveh off.

    Alhaitham is Prince Kaveh's guard and heat partner of nearly a decade, and archons above, what a trial that is.

    Summary

    It was just a random day. Kaveh was going about his daily errands, just being a productive and functional adult, when he crossed paths with Tighnari. Life had kept them busy, so it had been a while since they had last met up. Because of this, they decided to complete this little stretch of errands together. Nothing wrong with that—Kaveh was even looking forward to it a little. Last time they did actually get together, it was a dinner joined by Cyno and Alhaitham. It was nice to not have a conversation derailed with a stupid joke or Alhaitham bringing his… Alhaitham-ness.

    [Cyno: -5 affection]

    [Alhaitham: -0 affection]

    Kaveh stopped walking when Mehrak chirped up by side to read out… whatever it was his mechanical friend just said. Why just out of nowhere, why update him on this—and what’s the point of telling him he lost zero points!?

    Or: Kaveh finds himself in an odd otome game where Mehrak is trying to set him up with one of his friends, but why does Alhaitham's name keep popping up?
