    Summary

    “Do you mean to tell me,” Kaveh hisses. “That I got hit by a ley line and got cat ears?”

    “Lion ears,” Alhaitham corrects, dispelling the mirror. He seems remarkably unfazed by all of this, blinking curiously at Kaveh’s new appendages. “You seem to be in possession of a tail as well.”

    A ley line accident leaves Alhaitham and Kaveh with snow leopard and lion features, respectively. As they wait for the effects to (hopefully) wear off, they realize the ley line might have had some effects that go beyond changes to their physical appearance...

    In other words, Alhaitham figures out he can purr, but only when Kaveh is touching him. Cuddling for purely scientific reasons (and totally nothing more) ensues.

    Summary

    With a heavy sigh, Kaveh buried his face in his pillow. All of his romantic ideals, as usual, were quashed by the one man he actually yearned for such affections from - a marriage for the sake of fucking tax deductions.

    Though it made sense in a cold, rational way, such a logical and disinterested proposal for Kaveh to willingly sacrifice his heart for nothing more than mora cut deep into his chest. And worst of all... Alhaitham was unaware that Kaveh’s heart could never even belong to anyone but him - that he was already the sole benefactor of Kaveh’s silent longing, having stolen Kaveh’s heart against his will long ago.

    Kaveh curled around his pillow as if the soft cotton of his pillowcase could offer a reprieve from the turmoil churning deep in his stomach. He’d long since made peace with his unrequited love for Alhaitham, resigning himself to a lifetime of suppressed yearning - but this? This was torture, plain and simple, demanding mental gymnastics that Kaveh wasn’t confident he was flexible enough to contort himself into.

    Summary

    Kaveh is cursed to lie after downing an entire bottle of mysterious wine.

    Serves him right—Alhaitham thinks—his careless ways are finally catching up to him. It would be amusing to see Kaveh suddenly horrified by his own words as he throws compliments and praises towards the man he seems to despise the most in all of Sumeru.

    However, what happens when Kaveh continues to insult him like normal? And why is he talking so cryptically now? Why is he isolating himself in his room all day? What is that rash spreading throughout his body?

    Suddenly, this isn't the fun "I told you so" that Alhaitham thought it would be.

    Summary

    In the middle of the night, Kaveh steps into the hallway and nearly stumbles over Alhaitham, who is sitting cross legged with his back to Kaveh’s door, his sword on the floor beside him and his nose buried in a book.

    Kaveh blinks at him, something in his chest unraveling at the sight. “What are you doing here?”

    “This house has multiple potential incursion points. This is the best location for me to be sure I remain between you and any incoming threat.”

     

    or: Alhaitham is uncharacteristically obsessive when it comes to Kaveh’s safety.
