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

february 2nd, 2022

So, how to explain this...

Alright, the moment the conversation between you and Capitano ended, Alhaitham faced back to your apartment.

He was gonna act like nothing happened.

He was also gonna act like he didn't literally transform into Sumeru's biggest hero in front of everyone!

No literally like the moment he came back, he was bombarded questions but all he said was that you were coming back and to ACT NORMAL.

Xiao and Cyno couldn't believe the two of you were hero's yet slightly hated each other under the mask.

Honestly Xiao was done with all the bullshit and went to sleep last night.

Alhaitham promised he'd explain and quickly rushed to his apartment, the other three men racing with him so you could get home to an empty place.

The only reason he left because he was scared he'd also bombarde you with questions and he knew you were in a horrible moment at your life right now.

But you met up with the biggest villain/criminal in Sumeru and even if he couldn't hear the conversation, he knew something was wrong.

But it was almost midnight and he needs sleep and so do you.

Oh but who was he kidding, of course he wasn't gonna get sleep.

"You're Black Star?!" Kaveh whisper-yelled, careful not to actually yell in fear of waking the neighbours, or having the neighbours hear.

"You almost sound shocked." Alhaitham snorted. "Really it almost shocks me how no one other than Cyno figured it all out."

Tighnari whined, turning to said man. "You knew and didn't tell me?"

He cheekily grinned, plopping himself down onto one of the couches. "Sorry love."

"LOVE?!" Kaveh repeated, now yelling. "WHAT IS GOING ON TODAY?!"

"Really when will you two start dating." Alhaitham just shook his head, staring at Tighnari while letting out a sigh.

The other man glared. "Don't change the topic! How come you never told us you were Black Star?"

"The more people who knew, the more danger you'd all be in. I can't have anyone dead 'cuz of me."

Tighnari and Kaveh awe'd. "Awww you care about us?" Kaveh grinned.

"No, I'd just rather not have to deal with the finances of your funeral. I am only human, and the gods know I don't have that money."

The other two men scoffed, Cyno cackling.

"wait, so do you know who Silver Star is?" Tighnari asked.

Alhaitham sighed with a shake of his head.  "I'm certain Cyno does. You did patch her up that one time, did you not?"

Tighnari and Kaveh started asking more questions, wondering who just was Silver Star, and Cyno could only widen his eyes, refusing to say anything.

"I promised her I wouldn't tell, and a promise is a promise."

"Even me?" Tighnari asked with a pout, slowly sitting beside Cyno and dragging his index finger across his chest.

"Stop tryna fuck answers outta him on my couch!" Alhaitham yelled, forcing the two apart then sitting between them and Tighnari and Cyno could only laugh.

"Wait so, what tricks do you have In that suit of yours?" Kaveh asked.

Cyno was intrigued by that. "I do wonder. I've seen you transform and that string, but I've never seen the rest."
