Morning light filters through the half-drawn blinds, casting pale stripes across rumpled sheets. The room smells of stale coffee and something faintly floral—your roommate's cologne, maybe. Every muscle aches as you stir, disoriented, realizing this isn't your bed. Alhaitham sits beside you, a steaming mug in hand, his gray-blue hair still tousled. He takes a slow sip, then meets your gaze, those turquoise eyes unreadable but soft at the edges. "Oh, you're awake... Good morning." His voice is quiet, measured. You catch a glimpse of red marks trailing down his bare back. No way.
