Work Text:
Alhaitham just reach the chapter 5 of a book he finds last year but just started reading it in this morning when he hears a knock from his door. Annoyed that his hardly achieved comfortable reading while sleeping arrangement got interrupted, he grunts while walking to get the door.
Expecting a mail or a stray food delivery in front of his apartment he opens the door with annoyed face. "Yes?"
Unexpectedly, it was his best friend of 10 years that came up to his door and is fully drenched in rain. His clothes stuck to his body as if he was stuck in the rain for hours.
Kaveh was looking down, saying nothing as if expecting alhaitham to just letting him in without question. Though, the man in question is shocked but also worried at the same time.
"Kaveh? Didn't I bought you an umbrella just a week ago? Where the fuck is that?" Alhaitham asked with worries.
He didn't bought the umbrella just for the cause of it?? He bought it because he knows Kaveh doesn't have a personal car and might often encounter rain whether or not he wanted to. The outcome he doesn't want to have are now achieved since the person he bought the umbrella for, seemingly doesn't ever care the fact that he's drenched right now.
Seeing the drenched Kaveh not saying anything Alhaitham sighed and finally open his door to let Kaveh in. "I'll get you a towel and change of clothes, so wash yourself before you get fever." Alhaitham said without waiting for reply while getting on his feet to his bedroom.
Expecting Kaveh to just get in their bathroom Alhaitham furrowed his brow when the blond still standing in front of his apartment door.
"You're going to get fever Kaveh, wash yourself."
Putting the towel and Kaveh's clothes he retrieve from his room that the man occasionally leave when he sleep on his apartment, Alhaitham walk closer to Kaveh.
Alhaitham hearts stop for a second when he sees the shoulder of his best friend, that he loves and cherishes so much trembled. He hurriedly approach him.
Alhaitham put his hand of Kaveh's side arms slowly. Lowering his voice when he asked Kaveh, "What happened? Are you hurt on the way here?" Alhaitham bend over a bit when he tries to discover what just happened to Kaveh since the man was still looking down and trying to pry out from the questions.
This Kaveh is harder to handle for Alhaitham more than irritated Kaveh. Sad and giving up Kaveh clenched Alhaitham hearts so badly he doesn't ever want to see Kaveh sad in the future.
Alhaitham moved to grip Kaveh's hands. Clenching it to convey that he's always there on whatever situation Kaveh might be.
That small things broke Kaveh. His shoulder trembling more than ever and his tears fell down to Alhaitham hands.
Alhaitham can feel that his heart clenched more than ever. His eyes blown up, shocked that the strongest person he ever met was broken down like this.
Not caring that his clothes will get wet he embraced Kaveh who now loses his bright smile he love so much to see.
Lost on how to calm down Kaveh, Alhaitham just embraced him strongly. As if telling the blond to just let him handle everything on this world. To let him know that Alhaitham would never let the world hurts him in any way.
Alhaitham put his cheeks on Kaveh's drenched hair. Stroking his head to calm the now crying Kaveh.
Alhaitham can feel his shoulder wet. Every tears he felt feel down on his shoulder his anger raised more to whoever hurt Kaveh like this.
He can deal with whoever this person this later though. His priority now is Kaveh, and to know whether or not he's psychically hurt.
Still stroking the blonds head he asked, "Are your hurt anywhere?"
His face crunched when the man in his arms got stiff and then rapidly shakes his head. Seeing the suspicious behavior Alhaitham try to pry Kaveh's out of his embraced. He sighed loudly when his attempt his met with Kaveh's stubborn refusal.
"Kaveh." Warns Alhaitham.
If the situation are not worrying like this Alhaitham would let Kaveh to do whatever he content with, but since he comes to his house drenched and then broke down crying out of nowhere Alhaitham is met with difficult choice. Not caring whether or not Kaveh would get mad at him to not letting him seeing his face, Alhaitham pry out Kaveh by force.
"KAVEH!" Alhaitham raises his voice unconsciously. Frustrated at Kaveh's stubborn refusal to let Alhaitham sees he's okay or not.
Seeing the now rigid figure that starts to cry again from the unwarranted shouts, Alhaitham curses inwardly. "I just want to see whether or not you're okay. Heads up Kaveh."
Still stubborn, he shakes his head.
Frustrated Alhaitham grabbed his ex roommate chin harshly.
Alhaitham body went rigid. He's clenching harder unconsciously.
"Alhaitham that hurts." Low and hoarsed voice that came from Kaveh boils Alhaitham's anger even more.
Red cheeks, swollen and black eyes.
Alhaitham's head is hot with boiling anger. His steps is loud when he got close to his doors and starts wearing his shoes.
Panic on what his best friend might do Kaveh reach out to him and trying to stop him from whatever he might do. "Haitham I'm fine! Calm down!" And as much as he wanted to scream stop, his throat is sore and his hoarsed voice is stubborn to get out.
Alhaitham's eyes that fulls with fury stares intensely. "Say that again to my face. Say again that you're fine?!"
Dejected, Kaveh looks down again.
"It's that barstad isn't it? I'll fucking kill him right now."
Seeing Alhaitham continuing to wear his shoes Kaveh reach out to him in panic. "No it's fine it was my fault that he got mad, it's fine. Alhaitham please."
HIS FAULT?? God Alhaitham is so mad he doesn't even know what he would do if that barstad showed up in front of him.
"No, I'll fucking kill him."
