Work Text:
Alhaitham woke to the soft chirping of birds outside his window, splayed on the comfort of his bed. He felt the sunlight over him like a blanket, streaming through the curtains and through his closed eyelids.
Life couldn’t get any better than it is right now, he thinks.
It was a blissful morning, and as such, he did nothing but stretch lazily, turning on his side. His eyes slowly opened to zone out sleepily at some nondescript point on the wall. He was perfectly content to lay there, and enjoy the quiet of the morning. Opportunities like this were quite hard to come by- he wasn’t going to squander it.
As a result of his good mood, he couldn’t bring himself to mind when he heard the door click open quietly.
“Good morning,” Kaveh greeted softly, setting down a mug of coffee on the nightstand. He sat on the edge of the bed, and ran his fingers through Alhaitham’s hair like he was petting a cat. “Enjoying yourself, are we?”
Alhaitham hummed something suspiciously close to a content purr in response, eyes slipping shut. Kaveh’s hand was still warm from carrying the mug of hot coffee, and he leaned into the touch with a yawn. Kaveh chuckled to himself and removed his hand, if only to be able to see the pointed, unimpressed stare Alhaitham gave him in response. His eyes said everything— ‘everything’ being why did you stop?
And so Kaveh resumed, much to Alhaitham’s continued contentment. He peeked over at his roommate, and broke his sleepy silence to ask, “Weren’t you supposed to meet with a client this morning?”
Kaveh’s hand slid from Alhaitham’s hair to instead cup his face, and trace a thumb just under his eye.
“He had to reschedule, apparently he had some family emergency,” he began, a smug smile creeping onto his face. “So I suppose you’re stuck here with m—mmf!”
Kaveh found himself pulled down onto the bed, his face comfortably buried in Alhaitham’s chest. He laughed softly when he felt an arm anchor around his waist, and a disgruntled Alhaitham mumbling, “You need to quit scheduling morning weekend consultations,” into his hair.
As dedicated to his work as he may be, Kaveh had to admit— Alhaitham made an excellent point.
Perhaps I should quit scheduling morning consultations on the weekends, he thinks to himself, making himself comfortable in Alhaitham’s arms.
He’s clearly missing out on his mornings.
