    Summary

    As Kaveh sorts the jugs into two groupings—one for the punch bowl and one for the drain—a bell chimes, clattering against the front door.

    “We’re about to close,” Tighnari snaps at the entering customer.

    Kaveh springs to his feet and positions himself behind the register.

    “How can I help—”

    You.

    The customer is halfway to the counter when their eyes lock, and time stops. The man’s shoulders stiffen. Heterochromatic eyes—teal and orange, fire and water, familiar as the breath in Kaveh’s mouth, as the freckle above his left knee—widen with shock and a little disbelief. His mouth drops open, slack, and Kaveh thinks, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him speechless before.

    Oh, gods.

    Kaveh thought he’d never see Alhaitham again.

    After a year without contact, Alhaitham wanders into Kaveh's coffee shop.

    Kaveh wants nothing to do with him — he already has enough problems. But Alhaitham's determined to give him just one more, and perhaps solve a few in the process.

    Summary

    The crown prince of Sumeru is cursed to die by the magical lands beyond his kingdom.

    This does not stop him from going there anyway.

    Or from befriending the prickly boy who lives there.

    “Why are you always alone out here?”
    “I didn’t invite conversation.”
    “But we’re talking already.”
    “We are not.”
    “We are!”
    “…”
    “Hey! You can’t just not talk now!”

    (Or: A prince with a deadline meets an outcast with a secret.)

    Summary

    “I think I didn’t add enough mesh for flexibility. Sorry, I’ll have to take it apart again.”

    “I am not distressed. It is merely an assembling defect. You may correct it as you see fit.”

    “Hmm, do you want ice cream later? I used to cheer up when I ate ice cream after visiting the doctors. You could try pecans and—”

    “I do not need... ice cream.”

    Alhaitham is, by all definitions, not human. He does not require sleep, he does not require food, and he possesses no non-logical primary motivators.

    He knows this. The neighbours know this. The delivery bots know this.

    He wonders if his maker does.

    Summary

    Alhaitham already knows what Kaveh will say. He will sweep his hair off his neck as he is wont to do when he is nervous, and provide an easy way to leave the conversation without giving too much away.

    Instead, Kaveh goes strangely silent, shifting uncomfortably on his feet, and glances back between Alhaitham and their friends.

    "Actually," he starts, sweeping his gaze along their faces, "I'll probably be walking home with him a while longer."

    Alhaitham is quite used to Kaveh denying that they live together. Whether the vendors in the bazaar believe him is another issue, but Kaveh always corrects anyone that dares assume they might enjoy spending time together.

    Naturally, Alhaitham assumes Kaveh will continue to keep this 'secret' even when they start seeing each other, out of shame or embarrassment or otherwise.

    As it turns out, there are things even Alhaitham does not know.
