Summary
Years ago, Kaveh tore their joint research paper conclusion page in half, walked out of the office, and told Alhaitham to live his life his way.
Alhaitham listened—on the surface.
Underneath, he kept the torn pages in a drawer and spent the next few years watching from the margins: sitting in the back row of Kaveh’s lectures, nudging audits in the Bazaar, turning monsters away from a desert camp, rearranging variables so the world would hurt him a little less.
When rain and debt and bad timing finally push them back under the same roof, Kaveh discovers what’s been living between the lines of Alhaitham’s life this whole time: a vow he never said out loud, and doesn’t quite know how to return.
Or, Alhaitham spends years yearning for and protecting Kaveh in ways Kaveh was never meant to notice.

Summary
“Fine. Then prove me wrong.”
Alhaitham’s brow arched. “What do you mean?”
Kaveh leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. “If you think love is something that can be understood through experience, then go ahead. Experience it.”
Alhaitham considered this. “You want me to fall in love?”
Kaveh shrugged. “I want you to test your own hypothesis.”
Another pause.
Then—
“That would require a subject.”
Kaveh snorted. “Good luck with that.”
Alhaitham hummed.
And then—calm, calculated, infuriating—he lifted his pen, tilted his head, and wrote beneath Kaveh’s challenge:
“You’ll do.”
Or, how Alhaitham accidentally weaponized his thesis as a flirting technique and Kaveh is absolutely not having a good time.

A Treatise on the Emotional Repression of Logicians (or, How to Quantify Affection Without Saying a Damn Thing) by the_untamed_poet25

Summary
“I say,” Alhaitham begins, “that if A implies B, and A is true, then B must also be true.”
Kaveh blinks. “...What?”
Alhaitham, calmly: “Let A be: Kaveh is irrational. Let B be: I am still fond of him.”
Pause.
Longer pause.
Very long pause.
Kaveh blinks again, like trying to reboot. “You absolute ass. Was that supposed to be a confession?!”
“It’s a syllogism,” Alhaitham says, deadpan.
“IT’S A DISASTER,” Kaveh shrieks, nearly falling off the table. “Who flirts in syllogisms?! Who—who—expresses affection through deductive proofs?!”
“I’m not flirting,” Alhaitham lies.
Or, maybe love was never supposed to be quantified, but Alhaitham tried anyway—and Kaveh, infuriatingly, kept skewing the data.

Summary
Feeling suddenly brave, Alhaitham goes on, “What if I say ya noor eayni? After all, you are the Light of Ksheherwar.”
Kaveh doesn’t respond, too stunned to speak. He does intertwine his fingers with Alhaitham’s.5 times Alhaitham does not get it, and the 1 time he does.
