~Kaveh x Alhaitham one shots~

//Lies (💘)//

Alhaitham' s POV:
I lied. I just lied to Kaveh. I told him I wouldn't love anyone or anything. But, the truth is.. I fell in love with him. His ruby red eyes, and his messy blonde hair.. everything about him is just perfect. I don't know how somebody can be so perfect without ever striving to be perfect.

Ever since Kaveh opened up to me and told me how much he thought that it was his fault that his dad passed. I remember him crying, and saying how awful and terrible his life was.

At the time, I had no idea what to do. So, I just pulled him close and cuddled him. I ruffled his hair as he continued sobbing on my shoulder. I told him that he didn't need to say a thing, he could just stay on my shoulder and cry for as long as he felt he needed to.

After that day, I realized that he truly trusted me. He trusted me. He trusted me enough to let me know about how he thought it was his fault that something horrible happened to his family. How much he blamed himself made my heart ache for him.

I couldn't tell why, but was it because I was so surprised and confused that he trusted me? Did I.. care for him? Of course I did. Of course I cared about my roommate. But, I don't want to be just his roommate. I want to be something more.

But..but I don't deserve somebody like him. He's so kind, caring, and deserves to be with somebody he loves. Somebody that'll make him happy. I can't do that. I barely understand the true meaning of love and emotions.

And, if I got mad at him, I would go overboard. And he would take it to heart. And we would never work. Everything would end up broken and empty. How did I even fall for him like this.. I want to kiss him and comfort him. And tell him how much he means to me.

But, I can't do that. I'm just tired of everything right now. I was no longer the acting grand sage, so I had a bit less work to do. I was just the scribe. Which I really enjoyed. So, why was I tired of everything? I know I can't be with him. Regardless of how much I love him. So.. now what. I don't know what to do. I put my book down, thinking of him even more.

Kaveh's POV:
I think I love him. I think I love Alhaitham. Though, I'm pretty sure he feels the same way. His cheeks sometimes turn a bit more red then usual whenever he's around me.

Could that mean he loved me or was that just because of his anger whenever he was with me? I want to confess to him and let him know that I love him. But, what if he rejects me? And, how am I going to confess to him?

You know what, I'll just do it. Despite the risks, I'll do it. I'll just tell him I love him. I really hope I'm right that he loves me.. I really want him to. Is this how hard it was to tell someone you loved them?

"And, Alhaitham, I love you. I know you might not feel the same way but I-" I felt a finger on my bottom lip, and I felt his arm around my waist. "Wha- what are you-" "Shhhh... quiet. You didn't let me talk." Alhaitham told me, shushing me.

"'I love you too.. how could I not fall in love with you? Hm?" Alhaitham asked me, keeping his cool. I wasn't doing such a good job of keeping mine, though. However, his act wasn't really working, because I could see that little bit of tint on his face.

"'I-Y-you Wha.. wha- what?! I- well, I mean-" "Shhh..." twice in a row. He made me flustered with his stupid little "shhh" as he stared into my eyes. It felt like he was made out of pure magic. It felt like he was an Angel sent by Celestia. His gaze was so enchanting and alluring, my mind could barely comprehend the words that came out of his mouth next.

"'I love you too. Will you.. will you be my boyfriend?" My heart raced. "Ye-yes... could I, could I.. kiss you?" Alhaitham smiled. For the first time in so long. For the first time in so long.. I saw him smile. "'Of course." I pulled him close, our lips finally touching.
