Saint || Alhaitham x M! Reader

Chapter 12 || All good things come to an end

A/n: prepare urself 🫡

Alhaitham's POV:

Our location was King Deshret's domain, it was the only lead we really had. We all ran tirelessly for the sake of M/n's safety, and for the sake of ours. But we were kept back by the amount of puzzles we had to break, luckily the traveler and I got through most of them. Everyone else must have caught on to my sudden change from my preferred calm self to frantically searching every inch of a room for any sort of clue. Paimon hesitated before looking at me "Uh- you alright?"

"I'm fine, we just need to find him." It was only till that moment when I realized that none of them knew about M/n and I's affairs. Unless M/n said something, but they would probably be teasing me all now for it. Cyno stood in front of me, getting my full attention "Look, we know that there's something going on between you and M/n, I don't know what it is but-"

"They were dating." We all snapped our heads around, Cloette leaned up against a thick beam as she stepped over to a table that had been left there by some investigation team from the Akedemiya. But she was off, her moves wasn't as graceful, she didn't sway through the air like she used to. She stumbled into a chair and leaned back "Lovers." She continued "Two souls that fell into one another after only a few days" I can tell from her eyes she was not in a sane headspace. Everyone looked at me with wide eyes. I flushed, but I pushed passed it and looked at Cloette "What is the meaning of all this?"

She looked away from whatever distant dimension she saw and on to me. Her face red from crying. "What's so special about you?" She crunched her face in disgust "You understand mortal life, that's all. Yet he's in love with you. Won't shut up about you, He's doing all this for you!" The world was shocked to silence. Cloette fought with all her might to hold back her tears. "He's gone now, fallen into the pit of the generational sacrifice, all because of you. If you hadn't walked this earth and put your foot into his way, maybe he would still me here! But he's not, he's gone!"

We walked through the repeating halls of the domain, I didn't know where I was. My mind had blanked out what had happened, or I simply passed out, I had no clue. Everyone seemed distant, like I wasn't there with them. Paimon was shaking and hid herself in Aether's arms. Cyno's head was slightly declined to the floor in front of him. There was nothing to say. Only the sounds of Paimon's quiet cries could be heard.
