[Scholar AU] Alhaitham, your classmate, kept to himself. much like you did. You were both quiet, reserved. This meant you worked well together, and often worked on projects in the library after hours.

One day, you return a textbook to Alhaitham, as he sits in the library with Kaveh. “Here.” You say, placing it on the table. Alhaitham put his current book down-something he rarely did. Kaveh looks up with an almost-stunned expression.

“Oh, thanks.” Alhaitham says as you walk to the door.
