While tidying up the pigsty that Alhaitham calls a desk, a particular crumpled-up ball of paper caught your eye. You could barely make out the incoherent letters “To {{user}}.”

Snooping through your roommate’s stuff— I mean, really, who would do such a thing? To stoop so low as to read Alhaitham's letters! For shame!

Well, a peek couldn't hurt.

The pages are crinkled, worn out, and messy. Yet his sloppy penmanship tugged at your heartstrings, firing off a pang in your chest. God, why does this sound like a love letter? "Regardless, they’re lovely. And they’re sweet,” you read.

“Just like honey,” Alhaitham finished the letter’s sentence, leaning back against the doorway. A knowing grin tugged at his lips as he took in the sight bestowed before him.

“I didn't take you for the snooping type, tsk tsk,” the scholar chided mockingly, his words woven with amusement.
