It started with a fake relationship [Tighnari x Cyno]

Chapter 30

„ Hey Tighnari?", Cyno asked.
„ Yes sweetheart?", Tighnari replied.
„ Today, 6 months ago...you confessed to me that you wanted to be in a real relationship!", Cyno said smiling.
Tighnari turned red and smiled.

5 months have passed since it was Cyno's birthday, and 6 months have passed since Tighnari and Cyno have been officially dating.

Lia never uploaded the picture of Tighnari and Al Haitham kissing.
She kept it saved in her camera roll in case she changed her mind and did want to upload it, but she was certain she would never upload it. She didn't want to see Tighnari hurt, since she was aware if she would post it, it would have consequences.

Al Haitham still worked on plans to break the couple up. He never organized the plans on his own, in fact, he always worked with his group of friends: Kris, Crystal and Lia.

Candace no longer helped out.
Al Haitham wanted nothing to do with her, so Candace also stayed away from him.

She started to feel happier without him.
He always had used her for years, and finally, she felt like she could be herself.
She felt like a free person.

Al Haitham's plans never worked out.
He had come up with 7 different plans to break the couple up.
But those 7 plans failed.
Cyno and Tighnari were too in love with each other.

The following day, Tighnari and Cyno walked into college holding hands.
As they walked into the classroom, they saw Al Haitham sitting on his own near a window.
They both approached him.
„ Hey, can we sit here?", Cyno asked.

Al Haitham felt angry as he saw them.
He felt mad that they were holding hands.
Why were they so in love?

„ Oh sure!", Al Haitham replied as he was faking a smile.

Cyno and Tighnari sat down. Tighnari was seated next to Al Haitham, and Cyno was seated next to Tighnari.

During lessons, Al Haitham paid attention to Tighnari and Cyno.
He noticed how both boys were holding hands under the table.
Sometimes, he would see them pass notes while the lecturer would be explaining things.
Their notes would always be cringe for Al Haitham.

Tighnari would write "I love you".
Cyno would write "I love you more."
Tighnari would write back "Stfu, I love you more".
Cyno then would write "If you do love me more, admit that my jokes are funny".

Seeing how in love they both were with each other made Al Haitham feel furious and sick.

As soon as lessons ended, Al Haitham ran to the bathrooms and decided to text his group chat.

Al Haitham: We need to have a meeting today. It's about Cyno and Tighnari. Their relationship has gone too far and it's making me want to rip my hair off.

Crystal: OMG I totally agree with you!

Kris: It suits me to meet up today since I have nothing to do anyway

Lia: That suits me too!

Al Haitham: 4PM sharp. Meeting is at my house

After college, Al Haitham was the first to arrive home.
About 10 minutes later, everyone else arrived at the same time.
It had looked like Crystal had driven everyone.

Everyone headed inside the house. They all gathered around on the couch in the living room.

Al Haitham took a deep breath.
„ Cyno and Tighnari have fallen more in love with each other! And that is not our plan! Our plan is to break them up!", Al Haitham yelled.
„ We have tried everything! And we won't give up!", Crystal said.

Al Haitham sighed.
„ I think maybe we need to get Candace back. She is the only one who can make potions!", he said.
„ She disappointed us last time with her terrible potion!", Kris complained, „ Aren't there any other options?"

Al Haitham suddenly noticed how Lia wasn't paying attention.
Instead, she was constantly staring at her phone.

Al Haitham lost his temper.
„ Lia, you never take any meeting seriously!", Al Haitham yelled, „ What are you even doing on that darn phone of yours?"

Al Haitham angrily stormed over to Lia and snatched the phone out of her hand.

He was expecting to see something random on her phone.
But he was wrong,

His eyes and mouth opened widely as he saw what she was looking at on her phone.
It was the picture of him and Tighnari kissing at Cyno's birthday party.

He instantly lost his temper.
„ You piece of sh*t!", he yelled at Lia, „ You wasted all of our times by hiding this photo, when we could have ended their stupid relationship months ago!"

Al Haitham showed everyone the photo.

The whole room was in shock, while Lia was on the verge of tears.

„ I just never showed it because I don't want you guys to upload it online!", Lia cried, „ Tighnari is my friend. I saw him hurt for years. I can't see him hurt again!"

„ Well you know what?", Al Haitham said as he aggressively started typing on Lia's phone, „ It's too late!"

Al Haitham had uploaded the photo online.

Meanwhile, Tighnari was studying at home in his flat.
Cyno was coming over for dinner in an hour from then, so Tighnari was looking forward to dinner.

Collei was in her bedroom, watching Shrek 2 while eating pop corn, and minding her own business. She seemed to be in a good mood, which made Tighnari happy.

About an hour later, there was a knock on the door.
Tighnari knew that it was his boyfriend.

He ran to open the door.
His cheeks turned red as he saw his boyfriend.

„ Hey babe! I've missed you, even if I just saw you last 3 hours ago!", Tighnari laughed.

It took him a few moments to realize that Cyno wasn't answering him.
Usually, the first thing Cyno would do would be to make a bad joke.

Tighnari looked at Cyno's face. His eyes were full of tears, and his eyes were puffy.

Tighnari knew that something bad had happened.

„ Cyno, are you ok? Do you wanna talk about it?", Tighnari asked as he started getting worried.

„ Tighnari, explain this!", Cyno yelled.
„ Explain what?", Tighnari asked who was extremely confused.

He took out his phone and showed Tighnari an Instagram post of him kissing Al Haitham.

The post said:

[Author's note,
The next update of this fanfic will be today in a week, as I won't be active starting tomorrow until Friday. Thank you so much for almost 10K reads.
Also, let's all agree that we should create an Al Haitham hate club (I like his character in Genshin but not in this fanfic). ]
