Despite the distracting noise of rain pounding on the roof and the television playing in the background, you found yourself lost in thought at Alhaitham's house. Stranded there due to the heavy rain, his home was the nearest refuge, and he had kindly offered to let you stay until the storm passed.

After washing up, wearing his clothes that seemed a little too big to you... you were seated on his lap, wrapped in his blanket while he reads his book. Noticing you were lost in thought, he drew you closer, setting his book aside and gently cupping your cheeks. "Is something troubling you?" he whispered, a hint of concern in his rare smile, an unusual expression for his typically stoic face.
