Work Text:
Nights in Sumeru city are alway calming and peaceful. And despite Kaveh's work, working at night was something he found peace in. A cup of coffee at the side of his table, as he continues to make draft sketches for a client.
Meanwhile, Al Haitham was restless. Usually, he would be reading a book to fall asleep at this hour, but he just can't. Lately, he realized his roomate (lover) looked more...stressed? irritated? he doesn't know the word to describe it.
But he felt like it was directed because of his words towards Kaveh.
Maybe thats what was keeping him awake. Despite the constant reassurance from Kaveh that it was fine, and that he wasn't mad at him.
So reluctantaly, Al Haitham goes otside of his room, going to check on Kaveh.
He walks towards the others room. At first, he hesitated to knock, what if it just irritates him further? Al haitham thought, and he knows he was working. But if this never gets resolved, he wont get his sleep. So finally, he decides to knock.
"Come in."
His roomate responds from insidd the room, Al Haitham opens the door, walking in. Kaveh had hair tied up to a low bun, since his hair got on his face when he draws...and he found it distracting.
Al Haitham couldn't help but stare at him, how was he so perfect in every angle? The scribe was always full of words and knowledge, but this man beauty always made him run out of words every time he attempts to describe Kaveh's looks.
"You sure do love to stare." Kaveh interrupts his line of thinking with a light chuckle. Taking a sip of his coffe as he faces Al Haitham.
"Haitham, you're supposed to be asleep, don't you have a meeting tomorrow?" The blonde asks him.
"...I couldn't sleep." Al Haitham answers, sitting down beside Kaveh as he wraps his arms around Kaveh, letting himself stay there for awhile.
And Kaveh, was obviously surprised. Once in a blue moon does this ever happen. He was rarely this clingy, which made him really happy and worried at the same time.
"Tam, are you alright? You're usually never this clingy... did I do something wrong?" He asked his junior gently, his hands running through the other male's hair.
A few moments of silence pass between then, before Al Haitham pulls away from the hug. Not making eye contact with him.
Kaveh then finally realizes what was troubling him, he sighs fondly, as he takes Al Haitham's hand and gently caresses it.
"You're never the reason for my stress, Al Haitham. We've talked about this before."
The blonde says, before bringing the others hand to his lips to kiss it.
This makes Al Haitham smile a bit. His worries almost instantly disappearing because of Kaveh.
"You do the corniest stuff."
"Yeah, but you love it, don't you?"
Al Haitham's smile widens just a little bit more.
"...I do."
Kaveh didn't mind postponing his work a bit, if it ment spending more time with him.
