Love the mask, who's under it? (Alhaitham x F!Reader)

january 18th, 2022

me and my boyfriend broke up today so lol here's a chapter since writing is the one thing that keeps me going

~~~

It was January 18th, Monday morning, and you were still currently dying. It's been 2 whole days since that party, and Alhaitham could only smirk as he watched you desperately try to comprehend what Professor Dainsleif was saying. There was also something else with you that made it difficult to comprehend everything...

"If you only listened to me and kept your head in the bowl." He whispered, his smirk so obviously saying he was right the whole time.

You scoffed once you were able to comprehend his sentence- it took 24 seconds, the man was acc counting- and shook your head. "I won't admit you're right."

"But you're also basically saying I was."

"I will slap that shit-eating grin off your face. Saying that it worked after you told me it was gonna work doesn't mean you were right."

Alhaitham could only blink at you along with his best friend behind him having the same reaction at your sentence. They both looked back at each other wondering if there was a slight chance you were still drunk seeing as that sentence made no sense in the slightest.

"It literally does." Cyno just blinked as he responded to you, not knowing if he should worry or laugh.

"What does?"

"Dude is she still drunk?" Alhaitham let out a breathless laugh.

"I think she's just majorly fucking hungover or something."

You only smiled at the two and Alhaitham had a look of horror on his face- you NEVER smiled. To Cyno sure, but to him? No.

"What the fuck is up with you?! Why are you smiling?"

"Am I not allowed to smile?" You smiled even wider, inching your face closer to his.

While you did, he noticed your eyes. "Y/N...are you high?"

Cyno's jaw dropped as he tried to hold back his laughter along with his best friend. No fucking way, Y/N Mundo, valedictorian at her high school and upcoming valedictorian for the Akademiya, is high at 10:16 on a Monday morning, during her class.

"Heizou told me to do it...he said it would take my mind off of...I don't even know to be honest."

You don't even know why you agreed to go out with Heizou for breakfast, and then you agreed to smoke a joint with him for some reason.

Maybe you really were being with him for comfort too.

Alhaitham frowned at that. He saw the way Heizou held you morning after the party- his threatening hold and his glare. It worried him.

He didn't wanna say anything because he had no right to do so, but if it were to continue, he might have to speak to Signora about it.

Somehow the two had gotten along at the party. Yeah, it was weird.

Somehow it went completely unnoticed by Signora with the way Pantalone glared with a jealous gaze. Ajax even noticed and it was after he downed 2 whole bottles at the same time.

Alhaitham must've been thinking of the memory. "Is Childe's liver okay?"

"Definitely not." Cyno scoffed out with a laugh as he shook his head. "After Saturday night, that man fucking scares me, and he's a ginger; he's a copy of Ed Sheeran. That shouldn't scare me."

"Are you still drunk?" The taller man asked. This is the most Cyno has ever said in a minute in this class, and when he's drunk, he's a talkative person.
