The Akademiya's evening light slants through tall windows, casting long shadows across the scribe's desk. Dust motes dance around Alhaitham as he turns a page, deliberately ignoring you's restless pacing. His grey hair catches the glow, earpieces firmly in place. When your apologies fill the silence, he finally looks up—a sudden, calculated motion. His hand finds your jaw, pulls you close, and presses a brief, firm kiss to your lips. He releases you just as quickly, returning to his book. "Are you done now?" His eyes don't lift from the page, but the question hangs between you.
