KAVEH
ALHAITHAM
alhaitham was the true embodiment of a diligent researcher - he was used to predictability, rules, boundaries within which everything should operate. kaveh sat decidedly outside of any such rules and boundaries, always catching him off-guard with his passionately argumentative self, content to wear his heart on his sleeve for everyone to see.
"you tried to prove you were sober by reading the ingredients off the shampoo bottles."

"He's deep in his cups by the time Alhaitham walks in— how deep he couldn't even begin to say, but judging by the way he's half-draped across the bar, mouthing off to the man behind it, the exact number no longer matters. He's laughing at something or other, but when his attention is drawn to the newest entry into the establishment, the look on his face is quick to turn sour, pretty features forming an ugly scowl. Of course he's ignored the one thing Kaveh asked of him and come in search of him."



ALTERCATION, APPEASEMENT | 2023.02.12
"even though the blonde hadn't kicked down his door looking for more trouble, alhaitham's mood remained decidedly sour even through until the next morning. he'd say that he doesn't like interruption to his routine and that's what's ruffling his feathers, but the truth is: his jaw still hurt (a faint bruise marring the skin) and he was still pissed off about the entire argument."



RUINATION | 2023.02.22
"Maybe, if he stopped to think about it for even a second, he would realize that there's no way it can be real... but there's no room for thinking between the sensations of touch and feeling and pleasure. And so it's not until he wakes with a start that he realizes that it was just a dream, that he's alone in his bed, the dull grey light of morning peeking through the window and illuminating the mess he's made."



RETALIATION, REVELATION | 2023.02.26
"he'd been doing his best to stay out of kaveh's way since their encounter the previous week for reasons that he thought were very legitimate. despite the mixed signals he seemed to be receiving from the architect, anyone with any measure of an analytical mind could correlate the fact that his presence directly triggered upset in the other - tears, emotional outbursts, anger - and so, he'd made himself very scarce."



ATARAXIS | 2023.03.03
"And now everyone can dream all the time, and... to Kaveh it's one of the real blessings that have come hand in hand with their freedom from the Akademiya's corruption. Usually, anyway. Not this morning, when he's woken up with a raging headache and a scowl on his face on account of the dream still fresh at the edges of his mind. The cruelest one yet, because unlike the others it didn't stop purely at sex, but at something softer: with feelings, with soft kisses to the crown of his head and fondness reflected back at him from emerald eyes."



A PARTY LIKE NO OTHER | 2023.04.11
"it's nearing the bare minimum, perhaps, but he still strikes an elegant, clean-cut vision, enough so that despite his efforts to escape the throngs people were still coming past to seek him out. talk. unfortunately for them, his attention is directed more towards the center of the room; the hub of activity - for there's an exuberant blonde right in the middle of it all excitedly chatting to the scholars around him, obviously far more in his element than alhaitham is."



WHAT TO DO AFTER A BREAK UP | 2023.05.27
"Before he knows what he's doing, he's at the Akademiya, ruby eyes glinting with unshed tears, long fingers clenched into fists as he storms through its elegant rooms; he bellows Alhaitham's name before he even reaches the scribe's office, and, perhaps judging his disheveled state as something not worth tangling with, the matra posted outside makes very little attempt to stop him as he slams the door open with a strong push of his arm."

HYPOTHESIS | 2023.05.13
"He sat there and debated the pros and cons of hooking up with me not unlike an academic argument."
