◟⪩⪨ summary - “i act like you’re annoying but in reality i just wanna be so close to you” in other words, he’s pretending to work, saying how his work was taking forever when he kept looking back at you. he was “annoyed” of your bickering, but in reality you knew his needy-self wanted to fall asleep in your arms.
◟⪩⪨ warnings - literally none lol, just fluff, he’s “stressed” bc of work, touch starved!alhaitham, self indulgent, treating him like a child but in a good way (mentioned once), idk if this is good enough it’s my first time writing 😨😨 this is just full of random things idk
alhaitham x gn!reader 🪽 —
“stop being dramatic haitham,” you complained, rolling your eyes at him.
“shhh.” he replied, his eyes practically stuck on the glowing white screen that apparently he said “it’s only taking five hours.” he spoke, when in reality it was only taking two. his brain almost seemed like it was getting deformed from how much he was thinking about you.
“oh it’s deeeefinitely taking longer than that.” you replied with the most obvious sarcasm known to man.
he scoffed.
the corners of your mouth tugged up into a little smirk as you walked towards him. “haitha- oh!” you were not in the right mind to be mad at him at that moment because once you saw his screen, it was still as bright as the time you last checked on him.
which meant he hasn’t typed a single sentence ever since you came into the room.
“pretending to do your work, huh?” you tapped his shoulder, snapping your thumb and middle finger right in front of his ear so he would stop zoning out.
“imprecise. once again, [name].” referring to your earlier bickering about him taking a long time on his work, and him trying to prove you otherwise by saying “it’s not even taking that long.”
—
“just get up,” you scold him once again. “how are you gonna say your work is taking forever, but i keep catching your attention on me, hm?” you tilt his head up to reach your view, smirking in a playful way.
have his cheeks been this red from the moment you entered the room?
the so-called “stressed” man sighs, and thinks for a moment.
and finally, he gets up.
but as soon as he does, not even a second after, you immediately wrap him in your arms, placing a soft kiss on his forehead.
you aggressively grab his hand and run towards the couch outside of your shared bedroom, bringing him down with you and onto the L-shaped couch.
“[name]. you gonna stop complaining about my work now?” alhaitham suddenly asked, your head tilting up to meet his eyes, then you scoff before you could even realize that he began to stuff your face into his neck.
so you take the initiative and wrap your hands around his neck, breathing softly before he finally drifts off to sleep.
“your work only took two hours, stop fake sleeping,” you complain, poking his cheek a few times.
oh, he’s actually asleep.
you sigh. “ugh, wake up,” you continue, “i didn’t bother you for nothing.”
he tightly closes his eyes, his gray hair strands blocking his view since his head was tilted down if he even decided to open them.
“you know i don’t like it when you fall asleep during our cuddling sessions you big loser,” you whisper once more.
i mean, he was the type of person to fall asleep quickly.
then again, how could you complain when his legs probably hurt from sitting in that chair for “five hours”?
and wait, was he talking in his sleep?
“…stay,” not knowing if he was conscious or not, you let out a small giggle, before you stop teasing him about falling asleep too quickly and let him be.
feeling distraught that you had to get up from where you comfortably were placed in his lap, you attempted to pull away, didn’t work. another attempt? didn’t work. he was too strong!
but finally, after a few more attempts, you managed to pull yourself out of his tight embrace of his arms wrapped around you, you head to the bathroom.
wait.
he needs something to keep him company, huh?
treating him like he was a child, you ran over to your shared room, into the end of the closet, and brought him over that one plushie he managed to get for you from the claw machine a year ago after many attempts of the metal claw grabbing at the item but then falling right out of its grasp.
you smiled.
you then ran over to his side and placed it in his arms, covering his discomfort from the cold room with a huge comforter from your bed.
leaving him be, you went into the bathroom.
—
after you were done your shower, twenty minutes after, you sprinted to his side once again, but then noticed how he was awake now.
“finally, good job,” you praise in a teasing manner.
“you okay now? from your so called ‘5-hour project’?” you teased once more.
you wrap his arm around your waist once you seat yourself down onto one of the soft cushions of the couch, before he nuzzled you into his neck once again.
“i knew you were needy.”
