⤷ just doing my part to contribute a fic to this ✨scrumptious✨ trope 

⤷ ...might have a part 2 with the anemo men... (spoiler: i did not have one)

⤷ the title says it all. (sfw!!)

"Ah, welcome, travelers! Deepest apologies, however..."

Your eyes linger on AL HAITHAM's expression as it flickers slightly at the innkeeper's sheepish words.

"Only one room, hm?" His gaze is stern as he eyes the man from head to toe, before making a slight 'tch' noise with his tongue. "There's no point in complaining. We'll stay the night." The ashen-haired man makes a slight nodding motion, taking the keys from the other's hand. The two of you had originally planned to stay in separate rooms for the night, before meeting up in the morning, but one room shouldn't be too much of a problem... right?

As the two of you head up the stairs of the hotel, making your way to the designated room, silence is the only thing that envelops the two of you. However, it's not one of those awkward moments of quiet, more so a comfortable one - so it doesn't exactly bother any of you.

It isn't until Al Haitham turns the knob and swings the door open that the silence turns... dangerously unsettling.

The reason? Beyond the door frame, into the space, lies a singular bed. One, not two.

It takes a good ten seconds more before one of you speaks. Al Haitham moves his lips as to, but words have already left your mouth.

"...Well, this is a predicament, isn't it?"

"Unexpected, perhaps, but not exactly." It's strange, the way he tilted his head and how his eyes are trained on every movement. "I see no problem with sharing-"

"Woah woah woah-!" You cut him off, shaking your head frantically as you wave your hands, seemingly to disperse your... thoughts. "T-That's what intimate people do, and we're...!"

"...Coworkers." Al Haitham finishes your sentence with an air of smugness riding his expression. "Ah, but who's to say anything will occur? Oh, you don't happen to be thinking about anything unsightly, do you?" His tone is lilting as his gaze upon you seems much too observant. His tongue has always been quick, and more so sharp, and you can feel the tinge of his words cause a flush of red to settle upon your expression.

"...What... hey! Stop painting me as the bad guy here! I wasn't thinking about..." Your face goes red. "...A-Anything!" The relationship between you and him had always been somewhat blurred. Sure, you were merely coworkers, but sometimes, the atmosphere that the two of you shared was easily much more... insinuate.

"I'm sure." Somehow, Al Haitham's sedate words hold a sarcastic essence, before he lets out a quiet sigh. "It's getting late. If you insist, I'll sleep on the floor, and you can go ahead and take the bed." He wraps his arms around your waist firmly, placing you on the soft surface with ease, before moving to take off his shirt.

"...Wait-"

"What, do you have any complaints? I thought you were the one being all huffy about having to share a bed with me."

"That's not what I..." The hesitance in your voice is evident as you tried your best to resist the urge to stare at him. "...Well, I suppose it's fine if I do it just once, right?"
