    Summary

    "Where's Alhaitham?" Cyno asked.
    “Bimarstan.”
    “Alhaitham's in Bimarstan and you’re here…eating?”
    “I’m hungry.”
    Cyno stared back at him, flabbergasted. “You’re eating very well,” he noted.
    “The food is good,” Alhaitham said, taking another bite of chicken.

    After an accident at the Akademiya, Alhaitham wakes up to find himself in Kaveh's body, with Kaveh also in Kaveh's body. It causes a lot of confusion and chaos.

    Summary

    After an accident at work, Kaveh sort of dies. But he is granted a chance to come back to life if he can get three people to shed tears of pure love for him. He thinks that would be easy, since he has so many friends, but soon realises that it's not as easy as he thought it would be.

    Meanwhile, a grieving Alhaitham is very confused by this new stranger in Sumeru City who acts so much like Kaveh, but is not Kaveh.

    “Well, I promise you, Kaveh will be very okay with it. I’m sure of it.”
    “If I’m not convinced, will you be suddenly bringing me a letter allegedly written by Kaveh that expresses his agreement?” Alhaitham asked with a raised eyebrow.
    “That letter was written by Kaveh. One hundred percent. I don’t know why you keep doubting me,” Kaveh insisted.
    Alhaitham hummed to himself. “Just wanted to see how you’d react.”

    Summary

    The truth of the matter is, Kaveh has no idea how to read Alhaitham. He prides himself on being an expert at understanding people, his empathetic heart lending him the capacity to relate deeply with those around him (oftentimes to his detriment). But with Alhaitham, there is nothing for him to read; no clues from his cool expression for him to grasp. The man appears stoic all the time even during their petty bickering.

    Honestly, when was the last time Kaveh has seen the man do anything except smirk or frown? Does Alhaitham feel happiness? Has he ever seen the man laugh?

    Kaveh's mind is drawing a blank on the latter and it...bothers him deeply.

    --
    Kaveh devises a plan to get Alhaitham to smile by being aggressively nice to the man (and also maybe if he makes Alhaitham happy, he can score a discount on his rent or something). Alhaitham thinks Kaveh ate some mind-altering mushrooms and is, understandably, confused and mildly afraid.

    Summary

    Kaveh regrets ever accepting this new commission. It is not the pay nor the project itself – both are to the architect’s satisfaction. No, the problem is the client and her obsession with Kaveh.

    She believes them to be “destined for each other” and takes Kaveh’s rejection as playing hard to get. In his desperation Kaveh lies about having a boyfriend, a certain scribe he shares a home with and is oh-so madly in love with. Now he has to convince Alhaitham to play the part, when his client insists on meeting the “love of his life”.

    Summary

    “Your earrings.”

    He had been so caught up in his chastising that he missed Alhaitham’s attention slip.

    “Oh. That’s right. A new jewellery stall set up today in the Grand Bazaar, and they gave discounts to the first few customers. The designs were so unique, I couldn’t just walk away without a closer look… What do you think?”

    He was sure that Alhaitham had likely only spoken to avoid a lecture, but this could be easily looked past. His unthinking question had been asked to invite further curiosity. What did Alhaitham think of his aesthetic choices? Yet, in the fleeting jab of a moment, he saw through it entirely into the heart. He saw how Alhaitham watched him, considered him, the gaze brushing his ear, his neck.

    If he kissed Alhaitham, Alhaitham would reciprocate.

    Well, of course. That was only natural. The sear of this discovery ebbed as if it hadn’t been at all; Alhaitham was raising his eyes, was parting his mouth to speak, and all else fell away.

    (Absorbed in his and Alhaitham’s unthinking intimacy, Kaveh initiates kisses between them without consideration of the consequences. Also, Kaveh finds out everyone thinks they’re married and deals with it Normally.)
