Quiet melody - Haikaveh

After work.

Alhaitham 

  I've just gotten off work. I'm walking home now, and though it seems like I'm almost there, it feels as if it'll be hours before I get there. Exhaustion does that to you. Your head feels heavy, your feet drag as you walk, you slouch. I didn't drink any coffee today, and I've been trying to survive. It's been hard, working while being tired. All I want to do is go home and see Kaveh. He always makes my days a lot better, just by being there. Even after I've had a hard day at work, or at anywhere. In the past, I'd never have said that. But now, he just makes everything... so much better. He's like a ray of sunlight. He brightens things up. Obviously I'm not deranged, but he's just so amazing. I'm not sure I've ever met anyone better. 

Kaveh

  The sound of a key fidgeting in the lock means that Alhaitham's back, and just in time. I've just finished preparing dinner. I'm sure he'll be tired, and since I was off today, I had to do something for him. He walks in looking tired and worn out, and I walk up to him at the door. 
  "Good evening, dear. Take off your jacket and come sit down. I made dinner," I tell him. We walk toward the table, and I speak again. "So tell me," I begin, "how was your day?" 
  "Not the best, but it's alright. At least I'm home now," he says with a weak smile plastered across his face. 
  "Yes, that is great. Sit down, I'll plate the food." I walk back into the kitchen and grab plates, utensils, and a serving spoon. As I dish the food, I notice Alhaitham sighing and rubbing his temples. "Here you are." I hand him the plate full of pasta.

  Alhaitham and I are seated across from one another at the table. Nobody's saying much, so I decide to ask him the question that's been on my mind: "How did your day go?" I ask, seeing him look up from the table. 
  "Oh, it was, um... long. Tiring."
  "I'm sorry, that doesn't seem too good," I mutter.
  "It's okay, it's not your fault. Besides, seeing you helped a lot."
  My face gets so hot I feel as though it's glowing red. And it isn't even that serious.
  "Are you okay? I didn't really say much other than the truth."
  "Yeah, yeah. It's all good. Why don't we take a bath later? It'll calm you down, I bet."
  He nods, smiling. "Yes, that seems like a good idea."

Alhaitham

  After finishing our food, Kaveh and I have left to our room to prepare towels and clean clothes for afterwards. Midway, Kaveh leaves to prepare the bath. While he's gone, I stumble upon an old journal. It looks almost five years old. I open it to the most recent entry, which was written at the beginning of this year. Huh, how haven't I seen this before? It reads:

  I'm contemplating everything right now. My thoughts, my emotions, my feelings, all of it. Do I... like Alhaitham? Whenever i see him, I just feel some type of way, like I'm heating up but not in a bad way. I think about him so much, It terrifies me. I dream, and he finds a way to be in it. Every thought I have draws back to him. I've... never been in love before, now all at once... I get this surge of emotion so strong that I know it's love. Obviously, he doesn't feel the same, I mean, how could he? I'm just an architect who went bankrupt trying to finish his project. He's only letting me live with him to be nice. A gesture because we used to be best friends. I need to get over this, and right away.

  I close the book, a smile plastered on my face as I put it down and leave to join him in the bath.

THAT'S ALL MY LOVIESSSS
hope you enjoyed and have a great day/night
