    Summary

    "I thought you hated me."
    "... It's not a matter of liking or disliking."
    "Then what is it?"
    "Trust. I didn't know you, and I didn't trust you."

    Al-Haitham and Cyno clear the air between them while waiting for the Traveler to return.

    Summary

    "I didn't think you cared about what I liked."
    There is an immediate response on the tip of his tongue, of course he cared.
    Yet, it makes him pause at how immediate the thought is.

    Why does he care about what Cyno likes?
    When did he start caring about Cyno's feelings? 

    Or how a fight leads to them finally being friends.

    Summary

    It's difficult not to notice the way Cyno's attention is pulled away by the sound of dice, and he says something he doesn't expect to say.
    That he would like to play a TCG match against Cyno.
    Of course, he can't back down now, not when Cyno is so excited for their battle.

    He had a day to get cards and learn how to play.
    With any luck, the match wouldn't be a slaughter.

    Summary

    When a hand curls over the pages, blocking the words from sight, and rips the book from his grasp, Alhaitham has more than a few harsh words at the ready on the tip of his tongue.

    They’re forgotten, however, when he reads Kaveh’s words.

    “You can’t hear me, can’t you?”

    _

    Or, snippets from the life of Alhaitham, whose world went silent the day his parents died.

    Summary

    “You have a pretty clear direction for yourself.”

    Alhaitham nodded in agreement, pondering the words even after they left. He lingered by the door, watching until he couldn’t see them anymore. Stepping back inside, he allowed the comfort of his home to envelop him, the dusty books, the crooked paintings, and the incessant muttering of his roommate.

    He did have a clear direction. He wanted to keep this peace constant for as long as he could.

    OR

    Alhaitham wants nothing more than to lead a peaceful life, like his grandmother wished. When he discovers an injury after dealing with Siraj, Alhaitham decides he won't let such a petty thing disturb the peace. Kaveh doesn't take that very well.
