    Summary

    “You try it then,” Tighnari mocked, shoving his phone into Kaveh’s hands and addressing the food in front of him. “If my rank drops, it’ll be over for you.”

    Kaveh was almost done with his food anyway, could one distraction really hurt? He used the meagre knowledge he had of Candy Crush, completely ignoring the power-ups on the side of the screen. And maybe he found it fun; maybe he gained an unprecedented enthusiasm when the word ‘victory’ was displayed across the screen in capital letters; and perhaps he felt a sense of pride when Tighnari’s bird mascot did a celebratory pose. He might’ve possibly understood why Tighnari was so captivated by the game just by that one win. Oh no.

    “This means I’ve won, right?”

    Or: Tighnari gets mad at not being able to beat his online rival, VultureVolans, and sarcastically asks a clueless Kaveh to help him

    Summary

    "Oh, come on. you gotta admit the one about you being a bad kisser made you a little mad," Kaveh simpers.

    "We've never kissed," Alhaitham says through gritted teeth. The blonde's grin widens into malicious satisfaction.

    "Exactly! I mean, as far as I know, its true. It's not a wholly unadvised conclusion, though. A person that doesn't smile just can't be a good kisser. You know I'm right."

    Alhaitham's responding smirk is as devastating as it is handsome. Kaveh falters, his confident grin slipping.

    "To surmise I'm a bad kisser means you first had to think about kissing me."

    Kaveh's space is crowded suddenly and that grin is wiped off his face entirely now.

    "Careful, Kaveh. Don't forget I've spent the last six months finding every hole in every argument you've ever made."

    He hates Alhaitham. Hates him so much.

    "Don't forget that I spent two years by your side," his rival says angling closer, "I know exactly how your mind works."

    "I know how you study, how you eat, how you sleep," a hand reaches forward, cupping Kaveh's jaw, redirecting that avoidant crimson gaze back to him.

    "And now, I know every thought behind your petty little rumors."

    Summary

    “I am proposing a deal, Alhaitham,” Nahida mutters, catching Alhaitham’s attention once again. The tall man looks over to her and raises an eyebrow, “And what would that be?” 

    The smile that irks Alhaitham once again paints over the Archon’s lips  — and this time, he knows it’s meant to piss him off.

    “I will approve of your resignation in exchange for the Aaru Village’s approval of the developmental plans.” 

    Since the Dendro Archon is as kind as she is wise, she decided to give Alhaitham one last quest - which, once finished, would give him the freedom to return to his easy and normal life as a scribe. Alhaitham, forced to abide by the words of his Archon, sets out to the desert where he pretends to be a traveler, to devise a plan to get the desert dwellers to concur to the Akademiya’s plans. The quest turns thorny when he meets a dancer with scarlet eyes in Caravan Ribat.

    Summary

    Alhaitham’s smiling now, endearingly so. “Does that mean you love me back?”

    Kaveh narrows his eyes. “I’m not answering that yet.”

    “I love you, Kaveh,” Alhaitham tries again.

    “Tell me again when you’re not burning up.”

    When Alhaitham falls sick, he ends up confessing his love. Unfortunately, Kaveh refuses to give him a response until he recovers.
