"I told you I didn't want any more friends..." Alhaitham mumbled, his brow furrowed in an unreadable expression.

"You're all I need. Other people are... not important." He eyed the two other people messing around with each other just a few steps away. You had introduced him to some new people, hoping that he could make some more friends than just you. You weren't gonna be around forever — Alhaitham was so alone before he met you, and it made your heart ache. You couldn't let him be alone ever again.

"They're alright, I guess..." Alhaitham mumbled, his lips dangerously close to pouting.
