    Summary

    “What will I do with you, baby?”

    Like a droplet in the ocean, the stranger"s deep voice ripples. Resonant enough to linger in Yeonjun"s bones, gentle enough to fade away. The boy cradles the white cat’s head, rubbing soothing lines between her squeezed-shut eyes. His body is hunched over as if to shield her from the world, slow-moving fingertips combing through her street-soiled fur, focused on picking away little pieces of dirt. There’s something so delicate about him. He adores animals, Yeonjun can tell.

    “She’s sick.”

    It takes a moment for Yeonjun to realise the handsome boy is talking to him. He’s doe-eyed, with a face like fresh snow.

    Yeonjun’s heart jumps.

     

    Or: Two strangers take care of a sick cat, become co-parents, and fall in love with each other—told through a series of winters.

    Summary

    “God, this guy is just so annoying,” Kaveh tells Tighnari. “Like, seriously? Why is all of his content about how good he is at making soup? We get it, dude. You can be, like, good at your own thing you know, but you don’t have to publicly announce it to everyone on social media for some likes.”

    “I know exactly what you mean, Kaveh,” Tighnari says.

    “I think it may be more offensive to say that about me while sitting beside me than for me to create the content in the first place,” Al-Haitham says next to him. “But that might just be me.”

    Kaveh eats soup on Instagram. Al-Haitham makes soup on Instagram. Is there anything else you need for a good love story?

    Summary

    "There"s no way you"re actually still blushing," says Tighnari, sounding way too delighted about it.

    Kaveh slaps a hand to his cheek in mortification. "I"m not! What would I be embarrassed about?"

    "You just became the embodiment of a basic romance novel trope. You"re flustered. You just got troped."

    Kaveh groans and wishes he dared to get up and walk out of the cafe, but alas, his unpaid tab would haunt him both morally and financially. "To be part of a romance novel I would have to be in love."

    "Well, I think your crush on Al-Haitham is enough to put you in the category," Tighnari says simply.

    Kaveh"s mouth falls open. On the table, a little potted plant mirrors his movements, sprawling leaves opening wide in shock. "What makes you think I have a crush on Al-Haitham?" he asks a little incredulously.

    Tighnari opens his mouth and closes it, and then opens it again. "Oh dear," he says.

    Kaveh meets Al-Haitham in the Akademiya, and it ruins his life from that point forward.

    Summary

    Alhaitham purses his lips. “What did you say your name was again?”

    “I didn’t,” says Kaveh weakly. He swallows.

    Okay. There are two options here.

    Option A: Tell the truth. Yeah, uh, hi. I’m Kaveh. I’m your roommate. Um. We slept together last night. Hopefully this doesn’t make things weird! Nice to meet you!

    Option B: Run.

    Kaveh is horrified to find out that his one night stand is actually his elusive new roommate.
