Next morning, everything is normal. Familiar. Kaveh wakes up first to prepare two cups of coffee and arranges some leftover snacks nicely in a bowl. Alhaitham—or a sluggish creature that resembles him but requires caffeine to be functional—drags his feet into the kitchen and acknowledges the effort with a grateful grunt, right before sticking his big hand in the snack bowl and destroying Kaveh's meticulous composition without a care. Kaveh doesn't ask why Alhaitham looked at him like that yesterday—partly because the last thing he needs so early in the morning is a boner—and in turn Alhaitham doesn't ask why Kaveh locked himself up in his room for hours afterwards and didn’t have dinner. It's for the best, Kaveh tells himself.
