When I'd fight you used to tell me I was brave- Alhaitham x reader

"Cause I loved you, I swear I love you... Till my dying day..." 

T/w- cheating, angst no comfort, mention of blood (metaphor), unrequited love(?) 

Summary- You still loved him, even after all that

Alhaitham wasn't usually the type of person to flirt with other people but lately, he seemed to be getting rather friendly with another colleague. He never touched anyone else shoulder except yours, he never looked at anyone except yours. But now... they were here.

And what the hell were you supposed to do? He would deny anything, and if you said something you were scared it would ruin your relationship. Maybe they were just really good friends. There was probably nothing to worry about.

About a few months after you noticed his change in behaviour, he started to get more friendly especially after she said she was single. Almost like he was gonna swoop in, but he wouldn't right? He loved you... Right?

Well, that is what you kept telling yourself until you decided to say something to him.

"Hey haitham." He had his headphones ignoring all the noises from the outside world. Until a text appeared on his phone.

Hey haitham!

It was that person again. You were the only person allowed to call him that... He never let anyone else do it, you thought you were special. You tapped him on the shoulder, just trying to get a little of his attention, something you had been lacking for a while.

"What's up y/n?"

"Can we talk?"

His face remained that same stone-cold expression, he didn't even soften for you anymore... You really were losing him, you just didn't think it would hurt this bad.

"What about?"

"You.. and that person you always seem to hang out with."

"What about her?"

"You seem to really like her..."

"Can't I have friends anymore Y/n?"

"No no it's not that, I-"

"Your too controlling, she's just a friend."

You could see he was lying through his teeth. The way he avoided your eye contact, his shift in tone. This only made it hurt more.

A few weeks after this, he only grew more and more distant. He did a seem little happier. It just hurt that you weren't the cause of this. Maybe you should just leave him? You're both hurting each other, it's like you've gripped onto a pretty shard of glass, but it makes you bleed.

The final push was when you saw him kiss her.

"H-haitham?"

"Oh Y/n..."

"You- You said..."

"I know what I said."

You turned around and walked the other way, tears covering your cheeks... You knew it... but why were you still holding on? Especially now since he'd cut so deep...
