Summary
Kaveh had been clear. No poetic wording. No room for misunderstandings. No room for miscommunication.
“I don’t see you that way,” Alhaitham replied flatly.
Wow. So straightforward. So concise. Zero social etiquette.
The heartbreak had not even settled in yet and Kaveh already wanted to throw him off the building.
Cyno @tcg_pharaoh:
why is alhaitham on the roofTighnari @actual_leader:
what roof?? like about to jump??Cyno @tcg_pharaoh:
no he’s lying down flat like a starfish on the cement and just staring at the skyStar_Airbnb @star_villas:
🔗 StarFish Rooftop Villa, 2Bedroom, 1.5 Bathroom with View(or: Kaveh was the one who got rejected by Alhaitham, so why is his junior acting like a tragically abandoned stray cat?)

Summary
Though Alhaitham’s instinctive reaction was to push this inexplicably older version of Kaveh away and demand an explanation, something about the desperation in his grip held him hostage. He could feel the rapid rise and fall of Kaveh’s chest against his own, the quivers in his body from the leftover adrenaline of travelling through what had to be some sort of time portal.
He was still trying to make sense of the situation, pulse roaring in his ears, when Kaveh’s fingers began to shift, sliding down the length of his arm until he reached Alhaitham’s left hand.
Kaveh traced along the veins there, pausing - as if searching for something that wasn’t where it should be. Then his posture fell, softening with melancholy. “Oh,” he murmured, almost to himself. “I’m not back yet.”
Alhaitham stiffened. “What?”
“You’re not my Alhaitham,” Kaveh said with a quiet, somber sigh that wavered faintly at the end.

Summary
Alhaitham already knows what Kaveh will say. He will sweep his hair off his neck as he is wont to do when he is nervous, and provide an easy way to leave the conversation without giving too much away.
Instead, Kaveh goes strangely silent, shifting uncomfortably on his feet, and glances back between Alhaitham and their friends.
"Actually," he starts, sweeping his gaze along their faces, "I'll probably be walking home with him a while longer."
Alhaitham is quite used to Kaveh denying that they live together. Whether the vendors in the bazaar believe him is another issue, but Kaveh always corrects anyone that dares assume they might enjoy spending time together.
Naturally, Alhaitham assumes Kaveh will continue to keep this 'secret' even when they start seeing each other, out of shame or embarrassment or otherwise.
As it turns out, there are things even Alhaitham does not know.

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.

Wrong People, Wrong Time (at least two of these are lies) by safittarius

Summary
After suffering through a nearly-fatal car accident, Alhaitham abandons his life in Sumeru City and moves to Port Ormos. New job, new people, new experiences—all of it ambushes him as soon as he disembarks the ferry, and Alhaitham can only hope that he finds his peace soon.
Those hopes, however, melt the second he meets the chef at his new job as a fine-dining restaurant manager. He recognizes the man he had a one-night stand with just yesterday, and instantly knows: it won't be an easy ride.
Kaveh watched him with a heavy stare. The air was constricting. Alhaitham walked to the door: so, there was a banquet the next day, and fast food chains never hosted those, so he needed to figure out the protocol of action, and…
“If anyone finds out about last night, I’ll serve you for tomorrow’s banquet as a main dish. Just saying,” Kaveh’s voice came from behind Alhaitham’s back, sweet, syrupy, the annoying, but not-so-annoying when it came from Kaveh Port Ormos’s accent and all.
