A Sloth Stuffed Animal 🌘☁️

*Takes Place when Alhaitham is still the Scribe!*

Y/n knew what she was getting into when  Alhaitham and herself had began living together. He would get busy with his work, thus making it to where he wouldn't be home until late. It made it difficult for y/n not being able to cuddle with her lover had gotten difficult, so she decided that she should find something to ease her mind about her lover being gone for possible days.

One afternoon while out shopping for a few things that her now roommate Kaveh had asked her to get, she spotted an adorable stuffed sloth, its appearance reminded her of her lover and out of impulse she had bought it without anyone's knowledge. This was months ago. And once again here she was laying on her shared bed, holding the sloth in her arms cuddling with it. The sun had just set and she had been under the impression that Alhaitham was going to be busy with his work as the scribe once again.

She was lost in her own thoughts, the sound of the front door opening and closing. Simply brushing it off as Kaveh returning. Oh how wrong she was.

Upon walking into his now shared bedroom, Alhaitham froze in the doorway, unsure of how to feel seeing Y/n cuddling with a stuffed animal that he had assumed was a sloth. The feeling that welled up within him was hard for him to decipher. Was he jealous? He shut down that idea immediately. Alhaitham, the scribe of the Akademyia jealous over a mere toy? How idiotic. To him being jealous of a mere toy was idiotic and immature. But seeing the way she held it didn't set right with him.

To make his presence known he spoke up

"Y/n. What in gods name are you doing?"

He asked, his voice was stoic, but laced with a small sliver of distain. He crossed his arms as he awaited for her to answer his question.

She sat immediately the moment she heard her boyfriend's voice, her eyes wide as she was trying to register if he was actually there or not.  Her face turned bright red as she realized she had been caught. After a few moments of silence she finally answered his question.

"I was cuddling with a stuffed sloth... B-But only because I thought you were going to be home a lot later! I-I know you have so much on your plate as the scribe and I thought it would have been better for me to find something that reminds me of you when you're not around."

She confessed, her head hung as she took the plush and put it off to the side. She didn't mean any harm. She simply missed her lover.

Alhaithem sighed, collecting his thoughts as he did his utmost to release that idiotic feeling of jealousy. His eyes glared at the stuffed animal which was now at her side rather than in her arms.

"Do you actually think that this stuffed animal can replace me?" He asked, however he didn't intend to sound so harsh. He simply wanted to rid of the feeling that had come over him.

Upon hearing his words, y/n got up off the bed, the stuffed toy falling to the floor, she paid it no mind as she got off the bed and walked over to him, nothing else mattered at the moment. Once she was in front of him she took his hands in her own holding them in a gentle yet loving caress, her e/c eyes meeting his teal ones her eyes were full of love and adoration.

"Alhaitham, listen to me. I do not see that stuffed animal as a replacement, for it can never be anything other than a non living thing. It cannot speak, move freely, nor can it have sort of thought or reasoning. So not it cannot and never will replace you. You are the only person and thing I want. You are the one thing that is on my mind even when I myself get busy with my own work. You are my sun, my light that continues to guide me through the darker parts of life. I love and treasure you beyond words."

She confessed, her eyes locked on his as her heart began pounding in her chest, as she did her best to reassure him that no one and no thing would ever take her away from him. She was his and he was hers.

After a few moments he finally calmed down, he was still unsure how she did it but she always knew what exactly to say to calm him down. He sighed, placing his hand on her cheek as he looked at her with contempt. A little genuine smile on his lips. He only ever genuinely smiled at her. To which made her heart flutter more.

"I apologize my dear for getting jealous over a non living thing. You seem to always know exactly what to say. Thank you."

He said softly, as he pulled her close wrapping his arms around her. He ignored the stuffed animal as he walked her back to the bed, pulling her down as he decided to give her his affection and attention, without saying anything he cuddled with her, placing a small kiss on the top of her head.

For the first time in a while they both felt at peace in each other's arms.
