[At some point maybe Kaveh will stop being surprised by how affectionate Alhaitham's gotten over their time here, but it's not today, a soft little gasp escaping him at the kiss. It's not like he minds, but it does stop him dead in his tracks, cheeks flushed bright again.
Of all the things he'd thought, trying to work out where they stood, it never once occurred to Kaveh Alhaitham might...simply not know. He remembers their conversation after Ocard, remembers Alhaitham's struggle to connect and explain his own feelings. Maybe he'd been in love with the man so long he never considered that love wasn't something that is etched undoubtedly in the bones from the start.
But the amount of effort that Alhaitham now puts into this, for a man so fantastically lazy...]
...You really are incorrigible. But this isn't making me do anything I don't want to...
[Kaveh grumbles, but there's still a faint smile on his face when he steals another kiss. Maybe...maybe he can indulge himself in a little hope.]
