Bother Me Again He wanted silence. Fate gave him Kaveh. Alhaitham is known across Akademiya Institute as cold, distant, and impossible to read. He doesn't care for small talk, dodges commitment, and keeps his world comfortably quiet-even if it means every fleeting relationship leaves behind a little more emptiness. Solitude is easier. Controlled. Predictable. That is, until a new freshman named Kaveh bursts into his life-loud, expressive, and unapologetically warm. The last thing Alhaitham wants is a roommate who talks too much and shines too brightly. But as days bleed into nights and arguments turn into moments of understanding, something begins to shift. Maybe silence isn't all it's made out to be. Maybe being bothered isn't the worst thing after all. (Some walls aren't built to last. Especially when the right person keeps knocking.) "He's the storm I never asked for... and the warmth I never knew I needed." - Alhaitham. art work by: Og7eVOq1rgMigYi on x

To Breath Beyond The Stone Xiao has always lived under the weight of perfection-his every move sculpted by the strict expectations of his father, Zhongli, a man who values discipline, ambition, and tradition above all else. In a world where emotions are weakness and love must follow the rules, Xiao has learned to keep quiet, to obey, and to endure. But everything begins to shift when Aether, a foreign transfer student with a light in his eyes and warmth in his voice, steps into Xiao's life. Where Xiao is silence, Aether is sincerity. And slowly, Xiao begins to crave the kind of freedom only Aether seems to offer-freedom to speak, to feel, to be. As their bond deepens into something undeniable, Xiao finds himself caught between the life his father demands and the love he never thought he deserved. In a house made of stone, can a heart still learn to breathe? "He told me that being close to you was disgraceful. That no real man would love another like this. But if loving you is shameful, then let me carry that shame proudly-because in your presence, I finally remember how it feels to be held, not just seen." (Comming Soon) art cover by: xiao00417 on x
