Boquet Of Your Favorite Flowers...

Maybe This Time?

Alhaitam's POV;

I lost my balance, and in a blink of an eye I was hovering over of Kaveh. Good thing I grabbed the  top back of the chair or else I would've given him a black-eye. Wouldn't be a nice reunion for him. I regained my balance and stood straight, I caught a glimpse of Kaveh's face, he was red. Like a tomato. 'I wonder if he moved on yet'  I cleared my throat, fixing my clothes before grabbing the fallen ice-creams and putting it on the table. "Sorry, I forgot to put her in her cage. Are you alright?" I reached over to fix his hair, but he pushed my hand away in a swift moment. I was a bit shocked that he would do that, 'I mean before he would turn red and... no.. forget about it, Alhaitam.' I gave a small smile before sitting down.

We chit-chatted for a good hour, Kaveh hadn't said anything much since I saw him. 'I wonder if he's adapted into being an introvert.' Which, was really not like him. He would always find a way to butt-in his crazy obsession over making things or somehow make a hamburger a working tv remote. He really is a curious guy.

"aitam.." I heard Cyno's voice. "Alhaitam?" I felt his hand on my shoulder, shaking me. "You went quiet. Somethin' wrong?" I blinked a few times, glancing up at Kaveh who seemed to be focused on the ceiling. I caught myself smiling, I immediately forced a poker-face before looking at them. "No, nothing. Just zoned off." I noticed that Cyno was looking at me, taunting me with his eyebrows as he glanced at Kaveh and looked back at me. "I.." I, remained speechless. I just shook my head before getting up and cleaning the table. I hear Cyno laughing and whispering to Tighnari, probably about what he saw.

I sighed and went to the kitchen, my mind slowly wanders off to how Kaveh looked as he examined the painted ceiling. 'I wonder what he thought of it. I hope he thinks it looks nice, I spent a long time to finishing that.' Risking my life for some stupid painting on the ceiling that's not even worth breaking your neck for. 'Well, he did look at it for at least five minutes.. right?' I sighed. It's worthless thinking about him now.

( A few hours later ... ) 

"It's getting pretty late, we should go. We have other things to finish." Tighnari whispered to Cyno, he seemed to have disagreed to that because now they're having a small quarrel. Kaveh on the other hand, stands small near to the two. I approached him, 'I hope he won't go quiet like he always does when I try to talk to him..' can't forget to mention that during the hours they stayed here, he's been avoiding having a conversation with me. Is there something wrong I'm doing? Maybe I should stop working out. Do I look massive to him or something?

Before I even started, but he immediately turned around to look at the ground pretending as if something fell and rolled off. I grabbed his forearm and turned him back around. "Hey.. can we just talk? I'm not gonna hurt you or anything.." I slowly let go of him, he doesn't really look like he's scared or anything. Maybe he's annoyed?

( mean while in Kaveh's POV )

'Oh God he touched me!!! He wants to talk to ME!!!' I tried to stay calm. I let out a deep breath, before standing still. 'Gosh I have to stop acting like this around people. Especially around HIM! I've been avoiding him for the past 3 hours already! Come on Kaveh.. man up!'

( back to Alhaitam's POV )

He sighed with relief, he seems willing to listen despite his.. serious face. "We should catch up. It's been a while, ya know?" I smiled, trying to lighten up the mood but he just seems, nonchalant. Tryna fool me with your acts, Kaveh? I know you too well. I sighed, "so.. how's your new academy? Met any friends yet?" I examined his face, he really didn't seem too interested to talk at all. I felt hopeless, until I noticed him open his mouth. 'Of course I notice small things like that, it's not that I was staring at his lips the whole time.'

I shake off that thought. "I've met a few people here and there, but I don't really consider them my friends... I only really talk to Tighnari most of the time." Kaveh responded, 'I didn't hear most of what he said because he was so quiet. Oh well.  Just smile and nod.'

"Nice to hear that.." I nodded, slightly mumbling my words. There was an awful quiet moment between us for a good minute, before Tighnari went up to Kaveh grabbed his hand dragging him along outside. Before they step a foot out of rne door, Kaveh looked back and gave me a small wave. I just waved back. "Shit." I hear Cyno curse under his breath. I walk up to him and patted his back. "You could've shut up and just went along." He nodded to my late advice, sighing as he said goodbye and walked out of the house to catch up with Tighnari.

I watch as the door close, feeling empty in my home again. 'It felt alive while they were here, while.. he was here.' I let out a deep sigh before heading upstairs to get ready for bed. 'I should really stop thinking about him.' And yet, as I'm ready to sleep I'm still able to wander my mind off to admire something about him. Laying down on my bed and staring at the ceiling while I think about him.

'Kaveh, he is one amazing guy. He could make anything out of.. anything. It makes me curious how his mind works. Does he ever wonder if his future will actually turn out the way he wants or hopes it to be? He just seems so carefree but cautious at the same time. He's so confident in everything but so insecure as well. He confuses me so much to the point it hurts my head. Trying to figure out who Kaveh really is. What he thinks about something, someone. He's like that one part of the problem that you struggle solving even though the answer is just right infront of you. What am I even talking about? Is he really that interesting for me to be spitting random shit? He really does make my head hurt. Oh I remember our debates before, he always won. My head always hurt trying to finish the debate with him. It didn't even matter to me who won as long as I could stop thinking of ways to shut him up. Using things that annoyed the shit out of him. He's adorable, but a devil. Like a chihuahua. I wish nothing had happened between us. He was an amazing guy' 

I thought to myself, more and more and more about him. All those thoughts. Wasted my time thinking about him, now I'm off by 10 minutes
of my sleep schedule. I hate the way you make me act, Kaveh.
