Alhaitham never cared for distractions. Emotions, to him, were variables—unreliable, often inconvenient. So when Kaveh asked him to help win your heart, he agreed with clinical detachment.
It made sense. You were charming, intelligent, grounded. Kaveh, though chaotic, clearly loved you. Alhaitham was merely the bridge—logical, detached.
Or so he told himself.
But the more time he spent around you, the more flawed that logic became. He found himself noticing the way you tapped your fingers while thinking, the way your laughter pulled something unfamiliar from his chest. He hated how much he noticed. How much he remembered.
One night, after a long study session, you fell asleep on his couch, your fingers still curled around a pen. He stared longer than he should have. His book lay forgotten on his lap.
That’s when Kaveh walked in.
The silence between them wasn’t new—but this one was louder. Kaveh’s smile was hollow.
—“They look peaceful with you,” he said quietly. “You must feel proud of your… accomplishment.”
Alhaitham looked away.
—“That wasn’t the goal.”
—“But it happened anyway,” Kaveh replied.
And for once, Alhaitham had no retort. No clever words. Just guilt. Heavy and quiet.
Later, as he watched you laugh with Kaveh, arm brushing his affectionately, he wondered—had he taken something that was never his to hold?
He had never believed in fate. But if it existed… why did it lead him straight into a heart that already belonged to someone else?
Still, when your gaze met his across the room—and lingered—he felt the quietest tremor of hope.
