Summary
Tsukishima keeps a straight face and watches. That’s what he does. He watches for small movements, makes observations, and comes to a conclusion on what to do.
It’s what he’s doing when he turns to see Yamaguchi and Yachi standing together in a corner, giggling to themselves, as Yachi is stood in Yamaguchi’s jersey.

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
“I’ve always loved language,” Al-Haitham argues. “Have you forgotten what I studied in school?”
Kaveh huffs out another laugh. “Of course not. How could I?”
“Then what do you mean?”
“I just– Well, honestly, you’ve never told me why you picked Haravatat, either,” Kaveh says slowly, the realization seeming to dawn on him as he speaks. “It made sense, in a way, but there had to be a reason.”
“There were a lot of reasons," Al-Haitham admits quietly.

Summary
Ever since a student innocently remarked on the closeness between Professor Kaveh and Scribe Alhaitham, Kaveh has found himself the subject of relentless teasing in each class he taught at the Akademiya. His attempts to dismiss the rumors only seem to encourage his students, leaving him flustered and frustrated.
After all, it’s not as if Alhaitham actually liked him… right? Or is there something he’s missing that everyone else seems to see?

Summary
“Speaking of cute,” Kaveh continues, “the client- you know, the one who gave me Parry? She’s totally my type.” Kaveh sighs wistfully. “It’s a shame we met through work. Otherwise, I would’ve taken her out to dinner sometime.”
With what mora? Alhaitham thinks, the witty remark on the tip of his tongue. However, the curious side of Alhaitham takes over his vocal functions.
“Your type is… cute?”
Kaveh blinks at his unusual question but recovers quickly. “Yeah, pretty much. But that’s basically everybody’s type.”
Alhaitham’s type, he surmises, is tall, blond, red-eyed architects, so he’s not sure where Kaveh is getting his evidence from.

Alhaitham learns that Kaveh’s type is “cute.” He loses his mind a little.
