    Summary

    “You are standing uncomfortably close.” Sandrone’s annoyance was building.

    “I would like to hear how you play.”

    “You can still hear me from the other side of the room. Or the control room,” Sandrone replied, barely keeping her tone even.

    “Hm, yes, I could. But, I think this is the best place to listen,” Columbina concluded with a nod.

    Sandrone’s eyebrow twitched. Keep it together. Snapping at the person paying you isn’t a good idea.

    “Fine. Just be quiet then,” Sandrone grumbled.

    Summary

    “I can’t look at you the same way,” he admitted. “It makes me feel ashamed. Like I destroyed something good.” Once again was left unsaid. “The—we are not friends,” he pointed out quickly and a blush creeped onto his face. Ah, it sounded so silly. “But—it was good, between us.”

    They fought less, in a way. Bickered all the time, obviously, but there wasn’t anything weird about that. They were always like this. They would get coffee together, eat meals, talk like they used to do.

    And then, alcohol came to the play. And then, of course, Kaveh felt brave and comfortable enough to joke a bit too much, and maybe he just missed another body close to him. 

    “It still is,” Al Haitham answered. “Good.”

    Summary

    “Nefer.” The name, warm, unhurried, sweet on her tongue. The tongue lifts to the ridge behind the teeth, Ne, a small surrender, the top teeth set themselves against the lip and press, and the air goes out warm over the place where they meet, Fer. Two beats. An opening and a held bite.

    Summary

    Kaveh had been doing pretty well at ignoring his shared past with Alhaitham. More than well, he'd like to think.

    So, whatever sentimentality he might have had for his formerly cute junior had no influence on his relationship with his unfortunate roommate at all.

    None.

    Zero.

     

    Unfortunately, the past gets a lot less easy to ignore when it's sitting in your living room.
