Summary
Kaveh can’t help it. He laughs, loud. “Talk? To Alhaitham?” He laughs harder, unable to stop the bitter twist to his mouth. Smooths it away before Tighnari can notice. “Oh, Tighnari, you are funny.” He wants to talk to Alhaitham, but he doesn’t even know where to begin. What would he say? Where did we go wrong? When he isn’t even sure if he wants to know the answer?
Because if he asks, he knows Alhaitham will answer. Fully. Point by point, he will go through where Kaveh went wrong, and where Kaveh lacked. Dispassionate, clinical. Kaveh isn’t sure if he’ll be able to handle that.
Alhaitham is the only man that has ever made him question his own strength.

Summary
He’d meant to change the title before he’d presented it to Alhaitham. The joke title he’d given it was Won’t You Please Fuck Me: An Analysis of Why Entering a Physical Relationship With Me Would Be Mutually Beneficial.
Alhaitham opens and shuts his mouth. Blinks and squints a little at the title.
“It’s a joke,” Kaveh says and he tries to snatch it back, but Alhaitham quickly moves it to the side.
“Who is this joke…for?”
***
Kaveh asks a question. Or tries to, at least.

Summary
“I’m not embarrassed,” Alhaitham says, scowling as he shuts the door behind him and starts working on taking off his boots. “If anything, you should be embarrassed.”
“About what?” Kaveh asks, nose in the air even as he starts toeing off his shoes, and then wants to take the question back; he doesn’t need to hear Alhaitham’s answer.
“You were jealous.”
Kaveh splutters, face heating up. “I wasn’t — it wasn’t jealousy, Alhaitham. Don’t think of yourself so highly.”

Summary
Kaveh, because he is the better man of the two, decides to let Alhaitham's remarks about his personality go; instead, he grins, because he does indeed have something up his sleeve. "Now, now, what would be the fun in telling you that?" He cocks his head, smirking at Alhaitham. He has it on good authority that every time he smirks like this, Alhaitham will be more susceptible to agreeing to stupid challenges. He abuses it thoroughly. "Come on, Alhaitham. Are you telling me you really don't think you can handle whatever I throw at you?"
Alhaitham's eyes flash. Gotcha, Kaveh thinks gleefully. "Wipe that stupid look off your face. Of course I can handle whatever you throw at me."
