Stay For Me - A Haikaveh Fanfiction

Act 1- Scene II : Thought

Alhaitham's POV

  Sometimes a single wrong thought can ruin your whole relationship with a person.

  I got home, and the hammering noises were itching my ears. It was normal for me, but I wasn't really sure why I got frustrated. Maybe because of my heavy workload? I don't know.

  I took out my keys rashly, unlocked the door, and went straight to his room. I... threw a tantrum, a useless and unexplainable tantrum I had never ever gotten into before.

  "Kaveh! What's wrong with you heaving and hammering so much? It's damaging my eardrums!"

  "Haitham, I didn't put any more energy into this project. It's just the regular noise! When you get me as a roommate, you have to understand that he is an architect!" he shot back.

  "Ugh, fine! Can you understand that I have more problems than you do? You're just bankrupt. If you work harder, you can pay off your debt! Me? I didn't even want to be the Acting Grand Sage, for fuck's sake! And now with the heavy workload, do you think I can endure every moment of your useless hammering and just get some rest?!" I shouted.

  Then came a sudden silence. And I realized that I had given him all my own pressure. Why was I like this? Well, part of me didn't care. But a part of me came itching, I wanted to apologize, but that's just not me.

  I decided to leave that thought for later. I went to eat dinner and cleaned myself.

Kaveh's POV

  I don't understand him. Why is he so arrogant? He only cares about his so-called 'pressure' and 'wellbeing'. Ugh. I'm so done.

  But nonetheless, that is that. If I continue to live here, he is my landlord, and his orders are law. Enduring his temper and arrogance is a part of my daily life. Perhaps, a change in myself would help. Perhaps, I shouldn't care about him so much.

  I should have thought sooner. That'll save me from my mental damage.
