Chapter 3

Kavehs POV

"Kaveh...?" Alhaitham called out and I turned to him.

He was looking at me in a different way as he proceded to come closer...

"A-alhaitham?!" 

Our faces were now really close. I stared into his eyes, loosing myself in their teal coloured iris with the orange-ish pupils. My face flushed and his lips slightly parted...

He wasn't going to?! It couln't be! I must be dreaming again!! 

All of my thoughts were cut off when our lips met.

It was like time froze, as if only Alhaitham and I existed in that moment...

The kiss had been short, but we separated after for what felt like hours. I was slightly trembling and completely speechless...

I looked at Alhaitham, who was really red too, breathing heavily...

"A-alh-" He interrupted me when he closed the space between us again

I felt his hand hold my cheek and I put my arms around his neck. We both got a little bolder and deepened the kiss. Loosing ourselves in it...

Alhaitham POV

Kaveh wrapped his arms around my neck. That was the assurance that I needed to go a little further...

I gently pressed my tongue against his lips, asking for entrance and he gave in.

Our tongues met, interwining, making the kiss even more passionate. This was better than I imagined...

After some while we were both breathless and broke apart to catch some breath. We both looked at eachother, assimilating what just happened. Then an slightly uncomfortable silence settled in...

Kaveh broke the silence by clearing his throat "Uhh... D-do you want dinner...?", I agreed and he akwardly stood up and dissapeared in the kitchen...

I was just left there, the sensation of Kavehs lips still on mine and wondering what we are now...

Kavehs POV

Once I was in the kitchen, I started freaking out.

What just happened?!

Is this a dream?!

Why did I leave?! Now he'll think I didn't liked it! 

W-wait. I liked it?! 

Does he really feel like that about me?!

Why me, though!?

What are we now?! Roomates?! Friends?! Lovers?! BOYFRIENDS?!

In the midst of my ✨gay✨ panic attack, I started doing something to eat. 

I wasn't fully aware of my actions and just chopped and threw random vegetables into the pan to make a stir-fry Once I was done I called Alhaitham and we sat infront of eachother.

We didn't talk, as if the kiss had been something that shouldn't have happened. 

"He didn't liked the kiss"

"I'm sure Alhaitham regrets it"

"Why would someone like you?"

"It was an accident. He just felt bad for what you did and wanted to make up for it"

"Stop thinking you could have a chance with him! You're meant to be alone!"

As my thoughts were taking over me, I felt less and less hungry even a little nauseous and I knew Alhaitham had noticed too, but didn't say anything. 

Once I couln't eat more I just stood up and was about to leave when Alhaitham grabbed my hand. "Kaveh, stay..."

I blushed at his gentle touch and turned around to face him. "D-did you really mean the... you know...t-the kiss?" I asked him "Because I don't think I'm worth it and you deserve someone better..." 

As I said that I fiddled with my sleeve. I didn't want him to be with someone as useless as me...

Before I could say anything else Alhaitham hugged me. "Don't think like that, Kaveh... I really mean it. All of it! You have made me feel things I never thought I would"

Then he took my chin and made me look up at him. Our eyes met and I could see genuine care and love in them.

He leaned in slowly, and our lips met in a soft, long kiss, a silent exchange of the emotions we felt for eachother...

Alhaitham POV

I hated seeing Kaveh think about himself like that. He was awesome in every aspect possible, he has always been.

I remembered the time at the akademiya, when he was my senior...

I've always loved to have him around, even though I never said it. He was like a ray of sunshine, able to make everyone feel good around him. I was actually happy he moved in with me but I was bad at expressing my feelings and he thought so low of himself that we started drifting apart.

Now we were kissing, making up for all those fights.

We broke apart again and I could see tears in Kavehs eyes.

"A-are you sure...?" He asked me "I'm just going to be a burd-"

I put my finger on his lips and wiped his tears away with my thumb.

"Shh," I said softly, meeting his eyes. "You're not alone. We'll face everything together now! You're so much more than a burden to me and I wish I had shown you that earlier"

He smiled at me and I kissed his forehead...

Kavehs POV, a few days later

Alhaitham and I had officialy started dating and my life was like a fairytale.

I still had some problems with projects and annoying clients, but being able to vent to Alhaitham relieved me a lot and he sometimes had really good ideas of how to deal with them.

God, I really loved him. Every day I was falling more and more for him and I wanted to tell him, but what if it's to early to say those words?

He always spend almost the whole day working and I had this selfish desire, for him to stay home with me.

What if I make him mad when I tell him?

What if he leaves me because of my clingyness??

"Stop, Kaveh, stop! These "what ifs" won't lead to anything. Alhaitham is about to come home and you'll be able to spend the rest of the evening with him!"

Half an hour later, I was working on some blueprint when I heard someone unlocking the door.

I inmidiately jumped up and when Alhaitham opened the door he was already standing with his arms open.

I ran into them and he hugged me tightly then kissing my head.

"How was work?" I looked up at him. He told me about how he had to do loads of paperworks and was bored of it.

Then he picked me up and carried me to the living room. 

Alhaitham's smile at me made me even happier. I was the one who made him smile. That made me feel happy and lucky to have him.

We had created this sort of routine, where Alhaitham would come back home, then we'd watch my favourite TV show (It's a contest where people design the interior of houses and the most popular wins), then make dinner together to afterwards go to sleep in mine or Alhaithams room.

We, of course shared some pecks in between and cuddled on the couch.

This was my favourite part of the day.

Alhaitham was laying on the couch, resting against the arm of it and I was on top of him, sitting between his legs, resting against his torso.

While watching the show Alhaitham was playing with my hair and it was relaxing me...

I didn't know he would be so loving and thoughtful. I sighed in content and we finished watching the show...

Alhaithams POV

Once the show finished I was almost upset when Kavehs familiar weight lifted of my chest and his soft blonde hair untwisted from my hand.

It was time for dinner now and I followed Kaveh into the kitchen. Kaveh is the better cook but I enjoy helping from time to time.

We decided to make some pasta dish and while Kaveh was stiring the sauce I hugged him from behind and started kissing his neck.

Kaveh turned around surprised and his face was bright red. "W-what are y-you d-doing?!"

"Awww don't you like it?" I teased, not leaving his neck. It was really amusing seeing him that flustered.

"Alhaitham I'm trying to cook!" Kaveh giggled nervously.

I chuckled, finally releasing Kaveh from the playful hold. 

"Alright, Chef. I'll behave... for now" I said, giving him a mischievous grin. Kaveh flushed even more, trying to hide it by turning back to the stove.

I wish someone had prepared both of us for what was about to happen to our relationship...

Authors note:

Another Chapter done!! 

I hope you liked it and didn't wait too long to read it.

As you can guess next chapter will contain angst, but I'm also planning to add smut in a few chapters and I'm totally not ready to write it, but at the same time I want to write it... I'm going to die out of embarrasement in the process😭😭😭

I'm also planning to write another Kavehtham fanfic (once this one's done) since there's still so much I want to write and I have so many other ideas of what could happen between them😻😻✨✨

Anyways, thanks for reading and have a great day!!
