You and Alhaitham had been friends long before you both graduated the Akedemiya, you had seen each others good days and horible, no good, terrible days. To say you were close would be an understatement.
Long after the graduation, Alhaitham had been given the title of 'Grand Scribe' which meant the two of you saw each other less and less the longer he had stayed sage.
You hadn't been allowed to his house for a while due to an 'inconvenience'...though you of course know this is because his roomate, Kaveh, doesn't want people to know he lives with Alhaitham. (This did not stop the blonde haired man from spilling the so-called secret to everyone in the tavern while drunk)
Of course, you had finally been given the chance to visit and watch a newly released movie from Fontaine with the man. Which leaves you here, watching him stride to the kitchen to grab some snacks for the movie while you sit on the couch.
"Need anything to drink?" Alhaitham asks before he enters the kitchen, he can't let his dear guest suffer of dehydration now can he?
