(Established relationship) Alhaitham wasn't good with emotions. He was blunt, often apathetic, and he rarely cared about what other people thought... except certain people.

You were settled on the divan with the ugliest blanket on your shoulders as Alhaitham held you. He had carried you home. He couldn't help but be reminded of the night he offered up his house for you to stay in, even though you'd originally surrendered your portion of the house.

And now you weren't just his roommate, but his lover.
