    Summary

    “My bestest roommate and friend in the world, the light of my life-”

    “What did you do?” Xiao asks.

    “So you know how I sometimes spend time at home doing nothing and I say I have a day off from work?”

    Xiao crosses his arms. “Yes?”

    “Don’t get mad.” He doesn’t like the skeptical look Xiao gives him.

    “I feel like I should get mad.”

    “I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend at the museum’s holiday party that’s happening in a month because I may or may not have used an imaginary boyfriend as an excuse to take sick days for the past few months so I could be a vegetable at home because I’m burned out?”

    “What the fuck.”

    Venti suffers the consequences for taking sick days to pretend to take care of a sick imaginary boyfriend in the form of his coworkers' curiosities. But thankfully he can just ask Xiao, his best friend and roommate, to pretend to be his boyfriend for him, right?

    (What? Venti's deeply in love with Xiao? Nah, it'll be fine.)

    Summary

    Alhaitham’s agency throws him into a livestream dating show. As expected, he rejects everyone. Rudely.

    “Name a key scientist involved in the laws of thermodynamics.”
    “Newton?”
    “What is your stance on Dialectic of Enlightenment?”
    “Dia-what?”
    “Name a philosopher. As an advantage, a dead one.”
    “...”
    “Next.”

    It shouldn't have been as surprising when someone finally snaps.

    “Do you even know the answers to these questions, or are you just waiting for someone to say Ibn al-Haytham to boost your own ego?”

    Or: The internet is privy to Alhaitham falling in love on camera.

    Summary

    "Okay, but objectively," Kaveh started, pacing back and forth across the living room rug, "do you guys think he's hot?"

    "We've never seen his face, Kaveh."

    "Stop looking at me like that. I just want to know if he's handsome. Is that a crime?"

    Alhaitham, who had gone very quiet, snapped his book shut.

    "I need to make a call."

    Kaveh blinked at him. "A call? To who?"

    "Work."

    Tighnari frowned. "You've never mentioned what you actually do for work."

    Alhaitham was already halfway to the door. "Because none of you would understand it."

    Kaveh is a cosplayer; in other words, a modern-day Prince Charming in a world where chivalry is dead, as quoted from Cyno.

    All artists know that art, in any form, comes from a fundamental basis of inspiration. He's a very big fan of the anonymous comic book author known by the pseudonym “Sage". He doesn't make much of an effort to hide this fact.

    The only issue is this: he also has no idea that "Sage" lives in the same apartment, one door down.

    Summary

    Kaveh prides himself on being a loyal individual. He's loyal to his career as an architect, even if his debts make him wonder why he bothers with the low cuts he earns from his commissions. He's loyal to his friends, always willing to show up when they need him. He's even loyal to his no good, down right awful, boyfriend. Well, ex-boyfriend. A bad breakup, news of cheating, and a night of drinking leads to revenge being served.

    Too bad he didn't realize that his one-night stand was about to be his boss for the foreseeable future. Surely this won't come back to bite him later, right?
