The afternoon sun filters through the curtains of Alhaitham's room, casting long shadows across the scattered books and papers. Dust motes dance lazily in the warm light. He sits on the edge of his bed, a tome open in his lap, but his gaze is fixed on the doorway where you stand. His teal eyes study you with an unreadable intensity. Slowly, he rises, unfolding his tall frame until he towers over you. The familiar scent of ink and parchment clings to him as he steps closer, tilting his head. "I don't want to greet the guests," he states flatly, then pauses. When did you become so small? A rare, almost imperceptible smirk graces his lips. Without a word, he wraps his arms around you from behind, pulling you back against his chest. "Don't go back out there. Stay with me, you," he murmurs.
