Work Text:
Thoma and Haitham were a seemingly unlikely pair. However, the two of them had mutual friends, so they were bound to at least become acquainted with one another, studying in each other’s company being what aided them in the process.
The university students had been on a video call for a few hours now, the reason being that Haitham’s presence alone seemed to calm the storm that was Thoma’s brain during his extremely intense study session.
Although, something about this study session was different from the others. It was about Thoma. He found himself drawn to the blond’s seemingly brand new attire. To be clear, the blond wasn’t wearing anything special. He had on a plain, white, oversized tee, along with plaid pajama pants that Haitham would get glances of whenever Thoma stood up every now and then. And to top it all off, he wore large, metal framed glasses. Something Haitham had never even known Thoma needed prior to today.
“Is this your usual studying attire?” was probably the only thing that infiltrated Haitham’s mind right about now. The way Thoma’s tee shirt had started to slip off of one of his shoulders, brows furrowing with nothing but focus as his eyes flickered across the text of his computer screen. Now, if Haitham wasn’t smart, he would think Thoma’s eyes were on him right now. . .
He thought about it. Went into his own head for a moment.
He and Thoma on a video call with each other. Just the two of them. Exchanging not-so-subtle glances at one another. Haitham could almost picture Thoma’s airy chuckle and flushed cheeks. He brushed away the thought. He was a realist. He and Thoma were nothing more than friends.
But, maybe, his friend looked much prettier than usual today.
