Temporary Enemy

Catching up

THIRD PERSON POV

It was currently 4:45 in the morning, and the sun had not risen yet. Kaveh woke up to go take a shower to make breakfast for him and Al-Haitham after he had got out of the shower he saw Al-Haitham still sleeping in the bed comfortably upon seeing this sight he smiled and kissed Al-Haitham gently on the forehead and walked into the living room to see it messy and unorganized. He spent a few minutes cleaning it up so Al-Haitham doesn't complain about the mess first thing in the morning. As Kaveh was finishing up the living room, he stumbled across the book he had when he and Al-Haitham were in their early teens.

How did this get in here? Kaveh thought to himself as he picked it up and saw the puzzle that he had never finished and decided to finish it before Al-Haitham woke up. However, he couldn’t find the last word and decided that he should go and start cooking breakfast.

“Kaveh what is that smell?” Al-Haitham said as he walked through the living room. Wrapping his arms around Kaveh as he cooks breakfast for the both of them.

“I'm cooking some of your favorite breakfast foods.” Kaveh answered in a giggly tone as Al-Haitham kinda surprised him by snaking his arms around Kaveh’s waist. “Are you going to let me go anytime soon?” Kaveh asked jokingly as Al-Haitham groaned in annoyance after hearing that question.

“No.”

“Al-Haitham let me go. I have to cook us breakfast.” Kaveh said as he tried to free himself from the grip of the silver-headed man. 

“I don’t care. I’m not letting you go. And plus you can still cook. I'll just be right behind you the entire time.” Al-Haitham said as he tightened his grip around the blonde’s waist.

Kaveh giggled at his response. “Okay if you say so. But eventually, you'll have to let me go.” Kaveh said as he kissed Al-Haitham on the forehead.

“Fine.”

After a good 45 minutes of Kaveh cooking breakfast with Al-Haitham clinging on to his back, it took him longer than he had anticipated.

“Finally you can let go of me now, Al-Haitham.” Kaveh said while trying not to laugh at the sight of Al-Haitham giggling because of the tickling Kaveh had been doing.
After finally getting out of Al-Haitham’s strong grip, they sat down in the living room and ate their breakfast. Al-Haitham was reading a book as always. Kaveh grabbed the word puzzle book and tried to solve the puzzle, but he was struggling. He groaned in frustration after a good 4 minutes of not being able to find the last word to finish the puzzle.

“What’s wrong, love?” Al-Haitham asked, catching Kaveh off guard by the name that was thrown in that question. He quickly gained his composure and answered the question.

“I can’t finish the puzzle that we started when we were 12 and 13.”

“Okay. Let me see it.” Al-Haitham said as he closed his book and put it down. Putting all of his attention onto Kaveh and the puzzle in front of him.

Al-Haitham grabbed the puzzle from Kaveh and looked at the word that needed to be found in order to complete the puzzle. Al-Haitham’s mother taught him a trick that would help him solve almost every word search puzzle that he would come across.

“Let me teach you a trick my mother taught me when I was 8.”

“Okay”

“Look at the first letter of the word Kaveh, then look through each row and find that letter. If that letter is not in the row, then move on to the next row, but if the letter is in that row, you look in all directions for the next four letters of the word. If that method isn’t working for you, then look at the letter at the end of the word and do what I just explained earlier.”  Al-Haitham explained to Kaveh as he pointed his finger to give a demonstration.
