" Fine. You don't need to sing then. " he laughed a little and blew out the candle.
"A horrible one." He nods, still holding the plate with the pyramisu. "go on. Blow the candle. My arm is getting sore."

" Fine. You don't need to sing then. " he laughed a little and blew out the candle.
"A horrible one." He nods, still holding the plate with the pyramisu. "go on. Blow the candle. My arm is getting sore."
" Are you saying you're a bad singer ? " He chuckled in amusement. He was still surprised that Alhaitham had remembered with everything going on. It was a pleasant surprise though. He was happy, for once.
"Sure, if you want it to start raining and making our collapsed roof look way more catastrophic." He affords to joke, since they are still waiting for it to get fixed. There's no malice in his words at all. Alhaitham forces a smile. 𝑆𝑒𝑒 𝐾𝑎𝑣𝑒𝘩.ᐣ 𝐼'𝑚 𝑠𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔. 𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝑎 𝑗𝑜𝑘𝑒. 𝑃𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑖𝑡 𝑎𝑠 𝑎 𝑗𝑜𝑘𝑒.
Alhaitham remember his birthday. Kaveh is down bad. Even more than before.
" Oh. " He'd almost forgotten it was his birthday. But Alhaitham had remembered. Kaveh's cheeks flushed bright red and he finally smiled. " A wish first. " he beamed, tapping his chin. " Are you going to sing too ? " he teased.
"Happy birthday. It's a pyramisu." He sticks a candle on it and lights it.
" Nothing. " he mumbled, looking away.
"what's with that face?"
Grumbling and glaring at the scribe.
Nothing. It's nothing.
" I almost forgot it's my birthday today. Well, back to work. "
Hey ! Kaveh's requests aren't unreasonable ! What's he sighing for ?! 💢
Looooooong siiiiiiiiigh.

Kaveh tried to be understanding, but it's been three days. This mess is driving him insane. And since Alhaitham doesn't seem to be in the mood to clean after himself this time, Kaveh will have to do it while complaining about his roommate.
Could be because it's not necessarily his moment to pick after himself. It's a strange concept. A vibe, of sorts. If I don't feel like it, I won't clean it up. But... that doesn't necessarily mean I won't do it. I'll do it. Just... not right now.
Oh, he has plenty of opportunities when Kaveh is out. And even if he didn't, Alhaitham could offer to do it himself while Kaveh is tidying up. But does he ever offer ? No. Hmph.
The point is: he never lets him pick up after himself because he has already done it. It's about not having opportunities.
He hates it when the house is messy. And since Alhaitham doesn't pick up after himself, someone else has to do it. Grumble, grumble.
He never asked him to clean up.
Grumbling under his breath because Alhaitham madr a mess of the living room again and Kaveh has to tidy up. What is he, a maid ?! 💢
" Well, it's not fun for me ! " He was clearly pissed. Thankfully, Mehrak held all his important documents and sketches, so those didn't get wet. " I'm busy, I can't sit around playing. "
The ginger couldn't help but laugh as the balloons popped when they hit the back of his head . The look on his face made it worth it . Playfully shrugging his shoulders , Tartaglia prepared a third one . " Figured it'd be fun to start a water fight . "
Kaveh didn't notice until the balloons found the back of his head and shoulder, breaking upon impact and soaking the blonde. He spun around instantly, spotting the offender and offering him a glare. " What was that for ?! "
@paradisiah.bsky.social Without warning , two water balloons were thrown in his direction . Tartaglia just felt like being a menace today , and trying to cause a water balloon fight sounded like a good idea .
Although Kaveh couldn't hear what was said to him, he recognised the warmth of another, even in his sleep. Alhaitham had a distinct scent that had always attracted Kaveh's attention. Much more now, in this proximity. He shifted again to make himself comfortable in the Scribe's embrace. +
A tender smile paints over Alhaitham's face as he sees his roommate getting comfortable. Suddenly all the bickering means nothing if they still seek each other in the darkness of the night. "You have no idea how important you are right now for the world." He whispered, cupping his cheek. »
He shifts just slightly but doesn't wake up. Pulling Alhaitham's cape closer to himself as he continues to sleep. He's been awake for quite a while. Working tirelessly. Surely, he deserves a break.
He's done such a great job. Alhaitham drapes his cape over Kaveh, allowing him to rest in a warmer cover than his own. It's not like there's many accomodations in the desert, inside a tomb that's been sealed for centuries.
He's fallen asleep, head resting on @ideal-circumstance.bsky.social's shoulder. 💤
" Oi ! I can take care of myself just fine ! " he argued, arms crossing. Shooting Alhaitham a glare while watching him pack. " Essentials. Plus my sketchbook and pencils. I might need those. "
"I can take care of myself rather sufficiently. The same cannot be said about you I'm afraid." He's coming back and fort and stuffing a backpack with some books and things he'll need. He also adds his grandmother's diary in there with a careful hand. "What are you taking?"
He crossed his arms. " And what about you, huh ? Someone has to make sure you stay in one piece. " Kaveh humphed, as if it was the obvious explanation.
"But I told you to grab your things and go. You should be far from the city if you left yesterday." Oh god, what a headache. He's come back to the house just to grab a few things and finding Kaveh still there won't make it any easier.
He bought more beer. Even a little for @ideal-circumstance.bsky.social.
" Of course you do. I bet you'd never smoke cheap shit. " he chuckled. That hand on his shoulder made him bite his lower lip for a brief second and before fully relaxing again. " I suppose you're right. Still, I heard things got ugly back there. It's natural that I was worried. "
"Of course it is. I buy quality." He got the pipe back and smoked through it, his lips lingering on the edge while staring down. He let the smoke come out and reached out to lean a hand on Kaveh's shoulder. "You underestimate my skill to hit the bricks the moment I smell trouble, Kaveh. Heh."
He cleared his throat, awkwardly. He was just being honest. Alhaitham may have been frustrating and drinking his beers without permission, but Kaveh still cared about him — in more ways than he dared to admit. " Yeah. " He reached for the pipe, taking a drag and exhaling the smoke towards +
"Oh " Alhaitham was surprised this time. He took a quick drag from the pipe and looked through the window, exhaling the smoke through it. Then he straightened up until he could reach Kaveh's side, and offers him the pipe. "Want a drag?"
