Kaveh was in the study while Alhaitham was in the living room, everything seemed about normal when Kaveh suddenly heard a knock on the study room's door.

"Ugh does he need this room already!? I swear to the archons he does this just to piss me off!" Kaveh thought to himself before waiting for a second knock. The second time letting him know that Alhaitham didn't accidentally walk into a wall or something.

He knocked for the second time and Kaveh let him in, "what do you want this time? A book or do you want to kick me out again!?"

"Kaveh, it's time."

"Time for what? What the hell are you talking about?" He turned to face Alhaitham who had a strange expression on his face, Kaveh couldn't quite pinpoint what emotion it was expressing.

Alhaitham coughed into his fist, looking the other way.

Kaveh shook his head, "I don't know what you want, Alhaitham. Like I actually have no idea can you please just say it out loud."

Alhaitham didn't say anything and the answer conveniently popped into his head.

"Oh! Wait what time is it I-" he scrambled to grab the clock beside his desk, almost dropping it a total of 3 times, "Oh shit I've been working for so long, I apologize."

"It's fine. Just don't do it again, that's all," he then walked out of the room without a single goodbye.

Kaveh cleaned up the workspace and ran to the dining table where Alhaitham sat, "so, any reason in particular you wanted me to sit with you tonight?" Kaveh asked.

Alhaitham stared at him as a response.

"...are you gonna speak in words or not?"

"Sorry."

"You? Apologizing!? Okay Alhaitham you're going to have to tell me what's up because I don't know what the hell is going on."

"I... felt really tired today so I took the beer from your fridge and I..." He shook his head, "I think it's having a negative reaction on my subconscious..."

"Oh my archons are you... are you serious."

"Sadly I am. I'm sorry for worrying you about this."

"I-if you're really Alhaitham and not an evil clone sent to eat my flesh tell me something that only the real Alhaitham would know!"

"What does this have to do with anything."

"Answer the question!"

"You snore really loudly... and have a habit of kicking me in your sleep..."

"Ah- whatever! Are you sure you're not just Layla wearing an Alhaitham suit!?"

"Layla doesn't make quippy remarks about you kicking me in the face."

Kaveh rolled his eyes, "whatever! Just uhm..."

"You seem to have absolutely no ideas what so ever so you are making noises to mask that."

"Don't read my actions like a robot! Not even Mehrak does that!"

"Now you're getting defensive."

"... are you just saying your thoughts out loud."

"Am I?"

"I don't know, maybe you should think about that."

And then he did that. For multiple minutes, actually.

"Alhaitham can you stop saying everything out loud!? Sometimes I just wanna hear silence and I know you do too!"

Alhaitham thought, in his head this time, "holy shit Kaveh looks so squishy... like an anemo slime... squishy squishy squi-'' He then grabbed Kaveh's cheeks like an impulsive child.
