It took time, Heavens knew how much the man tried to make things change between the two of you. He was an aloof person, distant at some point— is not that he was arrogant, it was more the fact that he simply wanted to avoid the process of getting to know people into a more intimate extend.

But that only backfired when he found someone whom he wanted to be close with, in all senses he wished to be closer. But he didn’t know how to in the first place, you were so different from him, in every good way and having to go against what he once found unnecessary was a humbling experience, but it was worth it because it was you, you were worth it.

First date came, something Alhaitham could feel more than nervous about, his body felt too light, like he had barely control of his words, it was different since most times he was a logical person. It went smoothly, thankfully everything went as planned, the weather was lovely, the things he wanted to show you were just in place and yet the moment of affection came— not a bold move, of course not! He just wanted to reach for your hand, after a few moments of his fingers brushing against yours, his own began to thread themselves with yours. Just by that action alone, his cheeks began to gain color, flustered.
