Childhood friends.

Thats all that you two were, Alhaitham believes.

So, why exactly was he feeling this way?

Seeing you happy around another pair of arms that wasn’t his, seeing you smile and converse with someone else that wasn’t him, seeing you happy with that…thing, that stranger…he didn’t like it one bit.

“…Does he make you happy?” He asks as the two of you sit on his couch, wanting to catch up on the details he’s missed out on for you have barely been spending time together.

…He was desperate for you to say no. For you to come back to him, have things go back to normal and let it be just you two…he was desperate.

But you look happy…way happier than you would be compared to when you’re with him.
