alhaitham x reader

# failed confession, 700 words.

.　⁺ . 　 ˚　✦　.　　+ ⁺　 　 . ✦

it's one thing to be right. it's another thing to be right but hold the wrong assumptions.

alhaitham sits idly at a spot in the library with a large stack of books. you were never bothered that he's hogging what you want to read, but today, especially after yesterday, this is a crime you have to charge him with. he can't keep thinking he's free to do as he wants.

"you act as though you're the only one who knows how the world actually works," you say as you dump a pile of articles on the table. there are glares and stares, but that's not as infuriating compared to alhaitham's unwavering gaze on his book.

"if this is about yesterday, you should be thanking me instead." he flips a page.

your blood boils. so not only does he hog the books in the library, not only is he conceited to think he has the world in the palm of his hand (acting grand master or not), but he also has the gall to ask for thanks to a mistake?

he thinks that he saved you from heartbreak.

what does he know of love and romance? so what if you knew you'll be rejected? a confession was never about being accepted. it was about telling the truth, heartbreaking or not.

he's right that a heartbreak was inevitable, but he's wrong to think you need to be saved from it.

"you ruined it! now he thinks i like you instead!"

"lower your volume. this is the library."

you click your tongue before sitting beside him. to ask him to take things outside is the best, but you know it's useless. you've argued with him about this after your failed confession and it went terrible. at least you tried.

"you can always just tell him the truth," alhaitham says after a moment. it's so quiet you thought you dreamt his reply. when you look at him, he's finally looking at you. "there's no one stopping you from telilng him how you feel today. you can also explain that i messed up your confession yesterday, speak of my deeds in a bad light all you desire for i don't care how others think of me—and you know that—yet you chose to find me instead."

"what sick assumptions is brewing in your head right now?"

"it's not an assumption. it's an observation. you don't like him as much as you think."

he pushes a stack of books towards you before standing up and stretching. you look away.

he never mentioned this yesterday in your hour long fight.

"where are you going?" you ask in an accusatory tone. you won't let a criminal slip away. he will pay for all he's done.

"if you want to follow, you could have just asked."

you click your tongue once again before resting your head on the table. he's impossible to deal with. who's he to tell you how you feel? is he the one who feels butterflies when you see your crush? is he the one who finds himself stuttering around your crush?

but he's not wrong to say, if your arugment yesterday holds that a confession is simply relaying the truth, there should be nothing hindering you from trying again. in fact, wouldn't you want to quickly iron out the details? let your crush know he's mistaken, you will never like this conceited and arrogant man, and how your affections are for him instead...

your eyes connect with alhaitham's. you wonder what he's thinking right now, why he ruined your confession by holding your hand and dragging you away.

"are you done lazing around?" he sighs, crossing his arms. his expression remains nonchalant. you don't know what to make of it. "i have to go to the market to buy some supplies."

"you're waiting for me?"

he raises an eyebrow.

"look around," he says, and you do, believing that listening to his silly demand will be the key to unlocking his mind. something about the way he thinks annoys yet charms you. you and him are like a block of cheese and a grater. expected to clash. he was made to grate on your logic and reasoning.

everyone has returned to reading their books, probably trying to absorb as much information for their thesis. you aren't sure at which point of the "argument" they've classified both of you as background noise. you feel the weight of his stare.

you shake your head, unsure what he's implying.

"who else is there to wait for?"

which tbm song do you think is the most alice madness returns coded one? imo after spending 2 hours narrowing down the list I THINK it has to be blue, looking glass or leaving tonight... and a part of me wants to say all of nothing. but what if I'm wrong??

i highly agree with all of them. i would also say dead, shallow grave, and falling down. i feel like you could choose basically any song by the birthday massacre and it could somehow tie into the world of alice madness returns. 🐇🦷🦋

"i can't speak through these walls of lead built from broken thoughts no one sees me they all try to make me what i'm not"

SO alice liddell coded
