FOR THOSE WHO ARE CONFUSED
Albedo asked Kaveh for a favor: let you and Alhaitham talk. That is why Kaveh was kinda telling you to talk to Alhaitham. At first he didn't want to because he knows you're hurting but deep down he knows you need the closure you deserve, that is why he kinda told you to talk to Alhaitham. Alhaitham told you what he felt during your time spent together; He asked why you did you change since you changing is the reason why he started to like you. You talked to Scara about it and he told you what he observed all those years ago: Scara believed you were falling for Alhaitham, that is why you wanted to be his friend. Because of your conversation with Scara, you further understood your feelings. You told Alhaitham that you liked (past tense btw) him. You also understood why Alhaitham hurt you 2 years ago which was to ruin his chances with you (hint, self sabotage). You are aware that even if you and Alhaitham didn't argue, you both wouldn't be compatible. That is because in the end, you'd hurt each other (which what happened 2 years ago, basically saying that even if you didn't argue with him, it would eventually happen, it just happened early). Anyways you and Alhaitham finally got the closure you both needed.
i reached photo limit so i cant add my remaining borders 😭

– Love Rivalry: 46. stay gold
kaveh x reader
Tumblr media
"So, that's the story."
Kaveh sits there in shock, eyes wide. Maybe you shouldn't have told him. Your past with Alhaitham is heavy; it is not something to take lightly. If one word could describe your past with the man, it would be regret. You regret looking for him; you regret hoping; you regret expecting. 
Alhaitham was a cruel lesson to learn. It took you a long time to return to normal; however, you were far from "normal." Your wounded heart tried its best to bandage itself, but the wound inflicted on them was too much to bear. If it wasn't for your friends, you wouldn't have recovered. 
"I'm sorry," you bitterly chuckle, avoiding his gaze. "It's quite heavy, right?" 
Fear takes over your body. What if Kaveh leaves you because of your past? Would he leave you like how Alhaitham did that day? 
"Why are you apologizing?" Kaveh says softly, the gentle tone of his voice stuns you slightly. "I should be thanking you for opening up to me."
You look at him; his gentle ruby eyes make your heart skip a beat, washing away all your worries. Kaveh, the man who entered your life out of nowhere. Meeting him wasn't part of your goals, but you're glad you did. Who knew you'd be this fond of the blonde man? 
You giggle as Kaveh looks at you intimately, "You're right." 
Suddenly, Kaveh places his hand on top of yours. You blush. "What are you doing?" You ask in a shakey voice, but there was no response. Kaveh clumsily fiddles his fingers with yours, his face flushed in a deep shade of red akin to his eyes. "My dad used to do this to make me feel better." 
You listen intently, "My emotions usually get the best of me, making me immature at times. But every time my dad did this, I'd calm down." He says with a bittersweet smile as he recalls his childhood. You stare at Kaveh in worry. 'He must've had a rough childhood,' you think; However, you stay silent, not uttering a word.
"I've never done this to someone else, so please tell me when you're uncomfortable." Kaveh bashfully smiles. Butterflies flutter your stomach at the physical touch, almost like you're a teenager again. It's childish, feeling flustered over hand-holding. But, isn't it cute?
"It's fine," You whisper shyly, "I don't mind."
"You know," His grip on your hand lightly tightens, "I'm very emotional. Like, I cry a lot. Every time I get too mad, I cry; Every time I get too happy, I cry. I might become a burden to you."
He inhales deeply, preparing his words as you wait. "Despite that..." He continues, "I want to be by your side." 
Your mouth is slightly agape, speechless by his words. "Am I allowed to?" Kaveh meekly asks; his face goes warm from embarrassment, shading itself in light pink.
Your face-- too-- flushes. Bystanders look at your table with pleased expressions as they repeatedly think of youthful love. However, you and Kaveh pay no mind as if you two are the only ones in the restaurant. Your heart beats quickly and loudly that you swear the waiter who just passed by most likely heard it.
Ah, since when was the last time someone other than your friends made you this happy?
"Of course," You agree. Kaveh's eyes sparkles like gold by your words.
Then, Kaveh smiles once again. But this time, it's different. His smile radiantly beams his surroundings, making the lights of the restaurant pale in contrast to his smile. His smile is sweet like candy, something you will never get tired of. 
How pretty. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's nearing 2 AM, and you and Kaveh are just returning home. It was fun, the date. At first, you thought it was just a whim, something small. You never expected your relationship with Kaveh to grow oh so quickly. Though your time spent with Kaveh is short, you treasure those moments with him.
From this day onward, you're determined to know more about Kaveh. Meeting him was like a siren bewitching you with its voice, making you want more. Or a succubus seducing you with its charisma, reducing you into their slave. Some wild metaphors, but you can't deny it.
Kaveh charmed you.
Sure, you're a bit scared, but Kaveh means no harm. You trust him, but your trust in him is still small; it has yet to reach unconditional trust. You can't help it. As much as your relationship with the man is fast-paced, you wish to take your time.
Finally, you arrive at his apartment complex. You shift to your side to see Kaveh sleeping. The dim light from outside lightly kisses his face, giving it a soft shine. You notice the eyebags under his blonde eyelashes-- most likely caused by his sleepless nights as an architecture student.'
A small smile finds itself on your face as you admire Kaveh. You can trust him. It would be different compared to him.
Because Kaveh is different.
You bring your hand on his arm, slowly shaking him to wake him up. Kaveh grunts, shaking his head. You chuckle, "Kaveh, we're here."
"Mhmm," He frowns, turning to look the other way. You remove your grip on his arm. "Are you okay?" You tenderly say.
Kaveh nods. Though, his eyes are still shut.
"Kaveh, open your eyes."
"Don't wanna," he murmurs.
You sigh, running your fingers through your hair as you think of a solution to wake this sleepy man. Then, a thought crossed your mind making you smirk mischievously. You carry your torso closer to the passenger seat. You smirk-- not like he can see it.
"What? Do you need a kiss to wake up?" You whisper gingerly.
Kaveh's body tenses. Blood rushes through his cheeks, making them shade a light pink. However, he refuses to open his eyes.
You grin, "How cute."

– Love Rivalry: 45-2. illicit affairs
kaveh x reader (last of flashback)
Tumblr media
It would be an understatement to say Alhaitham thought about it. He wanted to know; he wanted to face the truth. Therefore, he studied it and thought of every possible answer to his questions. He's a thorough man. Alhaitham predicted that you might've overheard his conversation with Albedo. 
Alhaitham hoped you didn't, though. It is because the resulting casualty would endanger his entire relationship with you.
The possibility of you finding out that side of him makes him sick. If it was true, you're pushing him away because of him. You have every right to be angry, but why does he feel ill? Alhaitham doesn't get sick often due to his healthy lifestyle; however, there is a difference between mental and physical health. Even if they have a good diet and exercise, the environment around them could detriment their mental health.
He was always praised for his smarts, but Alhaitham is currently stuck in a predicament. Alhaitham, a genius, was confused. He does not know, but he wishes he does. That was when a thought entered Alhaitham's consciousness, something that he believed he shouldn't feel. To Alhaitham, emotions are a luxury that he can not afford. He is a man of practicality, and emotions would only become an obstacle to his future career. So, he lacks a basic understanding of human emotions. He knows it in theory-- of course-- but he was too busy to practice it.
I mean, before university, all he had was Kaveh. Other than him, he was a loner. But then, you barged into his life. He hates it, hates whatever it is. Calling it a weakness that should be eradicated. Alhaitham needs to end this.
He needs to cut off contact with you.
 
At first, he thought you were annoying. Alhaitham hated how you actively competed with him at every academic task. It was not the first time someone declared rivalry with Alhaitham. Ever since middle school, Alhaitham met numerous "rivals," but he never considered them as one. It is because no matter how hard they'd try, Alhaitham would be victorious. 
He believed the same when he first met you. Alhaitham thought you'd back down after he bested you. However, he was wrong.
For the first time, Alhaitham lost. 
He hated it-- considering it an anomaly, an error in his win rate. 
So, for the first time, Alhaitham gained a rival. 
It started from getting the highest marks or winning an award to playful banters. You didn't like him, and he didn't like you. Everyone in your department knows of your rivalry with Alhaitham. Heck, they think it's entertaining like they're watching a drama. Alhaitham thought his relationship with you wouldn't progress any further. He was content with his academic rivalry with you. 
However, your professor partnered you with Alhaitham, much to your complaints. Alhaitham paid no mind; he wanted to end it all and return as usual.
But suddenly, you changed. You approached Alhaitham differently, putting away your pride in the project. Alhaitham was caught off guard like he was caught up in a tsunami. Then, his mundane cycle of waking up, eating, studying, and sleeping broke because of the powerful waves of new perspectives. It was like you aggressively broke the wall between you two.
You barged into his life at a different pace-- a pace that made him fall in love. 
His feelings are a weakness. However, Alhaitham knows you. You would rather die than be someone's "weakness."
Nonetheless, the possibility of you overhearing his conversation with Albedo eats him. He messed up, and he knows. Alaitham needs to apologize-- no, he has to. Much to others' surprise, Alhaitham is immature. Because of his immaturity, he hurt you. He wants to mature and to do so, he needs to talk to you.
Finally, Alhaitham found the answer to his questions.
The reason why he was weird was because he fell for you. 
Alhaitham likes you. 
----
"I really thought we could be friends, you know?" You bitterly say, tears welling up in your eyes like the making of a storm. Alhaitham's eyes widen. You angrily wipe the tears threatening to fall down your cheeks, refusing to cry in front of him.
You bitterly continue, your breath hitches after every word you utter, "Am I wrong to think this way?" 
Alhaitham presses his lips as he looks at you in anguish, almost as if his heart was torn to shreds-- the heartache in his eyes is unnoticed by you due to your tears. The numbing feeling in his heart and your mental outburst render him helpless. 
Alhaitham likes you but believes you don't feel the same way. 
You showed him colors he knows he won't see with anyone else, but he taught you emotions you never thought you'd feel. Alhaitham knows deep down you're a kind soul. Therefore, if he explained his feelings, you'd forgive him. Though it would take time, you'd still forgive him. 
Alhaitham doesn't deserve you. He already hurt you once, how can he be so sure he wouldn't hurt you again? Alhaitham is terrified.
He needs to change before he can have you. However, people can't change immediately. Change takes time, and-- right now-- Alhaitham doesn't have the luxury of such. 
Alhaitham knows his flaws: he's stubborn, selfish, and immature. You don't deserve someone with such flaws. You deserve someone who could easily express their feelings, someone who could make you laugh.
You are better off without him.
"That's right," Alhaitham says. "Everything you heard that day is true."
Therefore, Alhaitham makes his resolve. He needs to ruin any remaining chances he has to reconcile with you. It would hurt, but you're strong. He'll lose you, but it's okay. 
You never saw him the way he sees you. 
----
Scara ran all his might to Cyno's cafe. He should've known, but he didn't. He knew something was happening, but he kept his distance. Instead, he waited for you to reach out to look for him. Scara, the closest person to you, regrets that he didn't ask. Following the directions Childe gave him through chat, he ran to the cafe, praying to God that he would arrive on time. 
However, Scara was too late. He barged into the cafe, panting. His eyes widen as his gaze falls onto your defeated figure. Your formerly shimmering eyes are devoid of emotions, and your cheeks are stained with tears. 
"Shit."

Tumblr media
Read if youre confused about Alhaitham's resolve: At first, he wanted to confess his feelings, however, you said "I thought we could be friends?" Because of this, he believes you never saw him anything other than a potential friend. He was heartbroken. Furthermore, seeing you break down and being the reason why youre breaking down hurts him so bad. How dare he try to confess his feelings when he is the reason why you're suffering? You made him fall in love with you, but he made you hate yourself. That is why Alhaitham decided that he does not deserve you, so he needs to ruin all chances he has to be with you. It's like his personal punishment for himself. You are his first love but because he hurt you, he could never become yours.

– Love Rivalry: 45. you're losing me
kaveh x reader
Tumblr media
You stand still nervously as you and Alhaitham await your professor's approval. You gaze at your professor reading your project with a stern expression. Today is the deadline for your thesis submission-- the final deadline that binds you and Alhaitham together. Despite avoiding your partner for a week, you focused on your project. Unknowingly, Alhaitham's gaze is not on the professor; but on you. 
Your professor puts down your printed proposal with a grin on his face-- a grin of approval. Truthfully, your professor has high expectations of your and Alhaitham's output. After all, two of the outstanding students in his class are partners. "You two never fail to amaze me," your professor says. Your eyes light up, and joy befalls your entire being. 
"An amazing output," he continues, "from the formatting and paragraph construction. To think that two undergraduate students manage to create near-profession research would surprise the head directors of the academe." 
"You flatter us, professor," Alhaitham replies. 
"You two make a great team," The professor smiles.
 
------------------
You exit the classroom with your head up high, emitting an air of confidence. After months of sleepless nights and coffee every morning, you finally accomplished your project. And most of all, you could finally conclude your partnership with Alhaitham. 
Though you believe your relationship with Alhaitham would improve after the project, everything went south when he opened his mouth that day. Sometimes, you find yourself dwelling on the what-ifs: what if you didn't message Alhaitham? What if you didn't look for Alhaitham? What if you left first instead of staying? What if you didn't let curiosity get the best of you? 
Perhaps if you weren't nosy, then maybe every time you gazed into Alhaitham's eyes, your brain wouldn't replay the heart-wrenching memory of his foul tone. If you weren't curious, then maybe your expectations and heart wouldn't shatter into a million pieces like they did on that day. 
You painfully chuckle to yourself, running your fingers through your hair as a thought you desperately tried burying deep into your heart starts to resurface. 
'What if Alhaitham didn't mean those words?' 
How cruel human nature is. Despite hearing those words from his mouth, a slim, thin strand of hope binds you to the possibility that Alhaitham might be lying. 
But deep down, you knew dwelling on the numerous possibilities would be pointless. What's done is done; we cannot change the course of fate. 
Alhaitham exits the classroom, and his gaze immediately finds itself on your figure. You feel it, his gaze and the unresolved tension between you two. You stand still once more, not wanting to see his face. 
"Communication is the key," A phrase you frequently see while scrolling through the comments of your favorite romance novels. "Anything can be solved with just an exchange of words." You believe their words; after all, you've read plenty of books during your time in high school. 
Silence fills the air as you gaze into nothingness while he gazes at you. 
Ah, you needed to communicate. But can you? You no longer understand him.
Finally, you turn to look at him, much to Alhaitham's surprise. His eyes falter as you look at him with an indifferent expression-- a mask you created to avoid cowering in front of the man who gave you so much distress.
Hesitantly, you open your mouth to speak. 
"Alhai--"
"I've thought about what you said," Alhaitham interjected. "Let's talk, [Name]."
---------
Silence. No words were exchanged between you and Alhaitham in the desolate cafe away from the busy students of the academy. You awkwardly sip your drink, eyes glued to Alhaitham cutting a piece of his cake. 
You agreed to talk with him, yet the only words you exchanged were: "What will you get?", "Just a cafe latte." 
Deciding to communicate is easy, but doing it is difficult. After all, you and Alhaitham are arrogant freaks who refuse to put down their ego. Hahaha. Just like Blue Lock. 
The atmosphere in the cafe is tense, to the point that the barista can feel it. The barista glances in your direction once more, trying his best to conceal his nosiness. Nevertheless, his white-colored hair, tan skin, and red eyes are hard to ignore. 
You have to talk to Alhaitham, a decision you cannot ignore. But the inability to read his emotions and thoughts is making you hesitate. Speak now, or you'll forever hold your peace. 
"Alhaitham," You say. Oh, how his name leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. "You said you thought about what I said the other day."
"That's right," He replies. Unlike before, Alhaitham refuses to look at you. But why? You don't know. You can't even think of a reason. Alhaitham became unreadable, someone you can no longer predict.
"Do you have an answer?" You continue, "To, you know, your question?"
"I do." Finally, Alhaitham looks at you, his eyes firm. "But don't you have a question?"
Your eyes widen as your face contorts to confusion. "Me? A question?"
"That's right." He continues, "I can tell that you have something to say."
You stare at him in shock. The mask you created started to crumble. Unbelievable, you reckon to yourself. How dare he? You've been trying your best to conceal your thoughts, yet Alhaitham read right through you. How can he? When you no longer could? Slowly, somewhere deep within you, your emotions starts to pile up, waiting to overflow.
"Humor me with your question," Alhaitham continued with a smug tone as if he was expecting you to open up easily.
You scowl, "How arrogant."
"You know that all too well."
"Are you picking a fight?"
"Stop being difficult, [Name]."
Suddenly, emotions deep within you starts to overflow. It seeps into your blood and clouds your sense of reasoning as rage taints your entire soul, burning red. Your face contorts to anger as you finally succumb to your emotions. You furrow your eyebrows as you glare at Alhaitham's eyes. His gaze faltered, but you paid no mind. 
"Oh. So now I am being difficult?!" You yell, your tone filled with contempt. "You're the one who called for me. Moreover, we finally finished that God-forsaken project that binds us together, so there is no longer any reason for us to talk." 
The calm and collected facade of Alhaitham starts to crumble. "What? So I can no longer talk to you? Was the times we spent together working on that thesis for 4 months mean nothing to you—" 
"Ha!" You scoff, interrupting him. How dare Alhaitham ask that? How dare he? When it was he who forsaken that anguishing 4 months? However, right there you notice: Alhaitham, too, is losing his cool, abandoning his usual rationality and indifference.
"How bold of you to say that, Alhaitham." You continue, "That's right. I have a question. Do you truly mean everything you've said that day?"
Alhaitham looks at you, confused, "That day?"
"That day at the cafe, Alhaitham. Unfortunately, I eavesdropped your conversation." Alhaitham's eyes widen, ultimately realizing the gravity of the situation. You gather up all your courage as you refrain from shedding a tear in front of this man. Finally, Alhaitham's words sank in, burying itself deep into your heart. Oh, how his words hurt you so. Who knew a bunch of words could render you in such a pitiful state? 
You speak, trying to retain composure. However, your voice starts cracking. "Shouldn't I be asking you that, Alhaitham? Was the time we spent together all for naught? Do you detest me so much that you'd speak of me that way?" 
Pathetic. 
"I really thought we could be friends, you know?" You say, bitterly.
Unknowingly, a certain barista is eavesdropping on your conversation with Alhaitham.

– Love Rivalry: 44. this is me trying
kaveh x reader (still 2 years ago)
Tumblr media
Alhaitham frowns, placing his phone into his front pocket. The cool breeze caresses Alhaitham's skin as he walks back into the cafe. Passerbys stand there in awe, with their attention focused on Alhaitham. They admire the handsome man, thinking that he might be the son of some celebrity! However, no one notices the annoyed expression on his face, which doesn't surprise him. Alhaitham is good at keeping his emotions in check. Though there are some instances where his feelings got the best of him, he did his hardest not to show it. Regardless of his efforts, he met you. 
Alhaitham recalls his conversation with you prior: how you noticed his unusual behavior. You were not wrong, though. Today has been a weird day for Alhaitham. Even a man like him is unsure of his sudden behavior change. Is it due to your influence? Suddenly, a small smile appears on his face just at the thought of you. He reckons that you probably felt the same thing before a sudden change in attitude towards the other. He was caught off guard by your new attitude that he thought you weren’t you; he thought you were possessed by a ghost. However, your habits remain, so he had no choice but to disregard his fantasy theory. 
Regardless, Alhaitham observed you, trying to match your new energy. Because of this, it leads to a change in his relationship with you. He is well aware of this change; he thinks it's for the best. Your clashing personalities and constant arguments were an obstacle to completing your project. But deep down, buried deep in his brain, is another opinion of his new dynamic with you. 
Alhaitham enters the cafe. His mind is lost in thought as he approaches your table. However, as his gaze lands on your table, you are no longer there. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The class just ended, and you are on your way to the main hall. Heizou accidentally got your charger during your movie night with him and Childe, so you were on your way to meet him. While walking across the corridors outside the building, you hear someone call out your name. You stopped in your tracks as you recognized that voice. 
You turn to look at them. Your expression darkens as your gaze lands on their face. It's Alhaitham.
Ever since that day, you've been avoiding the stoic green-haired man. You didn't want to see him and wished to give yourself time. However, the constant messages from the man annoy you to the core-- almost as if your relationship with him went back to square one. Regardless, you put on a smile. "Yes?" You reply; however, the smile on your face betrays the venom hidden in your voice. "Do you need anything?" you continue.
Alhaitham stays put. His gaze lingers on your being, ignoring the multitude of people wondering what is happening. You and Alhaitham stare into each other's eyes for a few minutes before looking away, embarrassed. 
'What is with him these days?' You thought. Alhaitham was always weird; however, he has been weirder this week. 
After a few more minutes, you sigh. Alhaitham continues to stare at you, refusing to speak despite calling out your name. Your fingers run through your hair, "If you don't need anything, I'll be going." You turn your back on him, "My time is precious, and I need to meet with my friend, so I'll get going." 
"Your time is precious?" Alhaitham suddenly speaks up; however, you refuse to turn back to look at him. Annoyed, you furrow your eyebrows, "That's right." You continue, "I'd rather spend my time with my friends than someone who despises me--" 
Fuck
You immediately cover your mouth, realizing the words you uttered. You spoke too much. 
Alhaitham's eyes narrow, "Excuse me?" 
"I-it's nothing," You stutter, refusing to turn around and look at him. You try to dismiss the subject, but Alhaitham is persistent. With every word he says, he takes a step forward. Little by little, your back is directly facing his chest, and the distance between you two reduces. 
"Repeat it, [Name]." He says quietly, bordering whisper. His tone went from dictating to desperate. Why does he so badly want to hear what you said once more? Why can't he leave you alone when he hates you so? The tension between you two heightens, and you swear you can hear your heartbeat. You want to speak, but you can't-- afraid you may say something unnecessary. 
You want to leave; However, you don't know how.
But why? You could easily walk forward and ignore his presence, but something inside you does not. Do you believe there is sheer hope that everything you heard from him was all a dream? That your dynamic with this man would be like how it was? 
You can't just leave; you aren't that cruel-- yet. So, you need an excuse. 
"Why are you avoiding me?" Alhaitham mutters, making your breath hitch. "Why are you suddenly weird?" You stay put; however, Alhaitham chuckles lowly. "Why are we both weird."  
You stay quiet, not knowing what to say. Ah, you need to leave. 
You were about to reply, but loud laughter could be heard across the school's garden. You slowly turn your head to look at the source of the laughter as the breeze finally starts kicking in. Your eyes widen as you find yourself staring at a blonde man. The laugh was awkward, almost as if it was forced; however, you pay no mind. The cool breeze gently sways the loose strands of the man's hair, caressing his rosy cheeks. You stand there in a trance, not noticing the disdain on Alhaitham's face. 
Then, your eyes turn to the blonde's companion. Your mouth ajars in shock as you see a familiar ginger hair.
"Childe?!" You yell. Childe and his companion turn to look in your direction. The blonde man's face turns red, but you do not notice as your attention is on your ginger friend. Alhaitham's eyebrows furrow as Childe walks up to you, leaving his blonde companion alone in the garden. 
"[Name]!" Childe enthusiastically says, with a bright smile plastered on his face. "Are you going somewhere?" 
"Yeah," you reply. 
Childe glances at Alhaitham, and a devilish smirk creeps on his face. "How are you, Alhaitham?"
Alhaitham stays quiet. Childe continuously tries to engage in small talk with Alhaitham; however, Alhaitham does not respond. While the two were busy, you glance at the garden where Childe and his companion were, hoping to spot the blonde man. He was gone. 
"Anyways, [Name]," Childe says, "I thought you're supposed to meet with Heizou?"
Then you realize you finally found a way to escape. 
"That's right," You sigh. "However, I encountered some trouble. But since it is settled, I will be on my way."
Finally, you turn your head to look at Alhaitham. "To answer your question," You spout. "Think of everything you have said this week. Maybe, you'll find the answer to your question there."
Those were your parting words to Alhaitham.

Novels 02 (Kamisato Ayato x Reader)
Tumblr media
CH NOTES: arranged marriage, emotional cheating, neglect, unhealthy relationship, sad ending, hurt no comfort, heavy angst, slight ooc
PAIRING: Ayato x GN!Reader (Fem terms might be used accidentally)
SUMMARY: Ayato x Fiance! Reader but you’re a hopeless romantic to your fiance who is in love with another.
A/N: inspired by Movies by Conan Gray
... navigation masterlist previous next
Tumblr media
I. “Why do you keep avoiding Yuki?” Ayato says with contempt, making you flinch at the tone of his voice. Kamisato Ayato is angry, all because of her. Your heart drops at the thought, yet you can’t help but feel a surge of negative emotions. Recently there have been rumors circulating about Kamisato Ayato and Kaedahara Yuki: rumors of Infidelity. 
You heard of the rumors accidentally during a social party. Before the mask came crashing down, Kamisato Ayato would clarify every rumor regarding the commission. However, despite hearing the distasteful rumor in-person, he stayed still, deciding to stay ignorant. 
You stood still as you stared at him in disbelief. Thoughts of questions about his purpose and why he is feigning ignorance circulate in your head. You felt ill, those rumors would damage his and your reputation, something that you both hold dear. But, he stood still, almost like he was enjoying the rumors. 
Why? why? WHY?
That was until everything came into place. You snapped your head away from his figure, painfully smiling to yourself as you finally understood why he was feigning ignorance. The gossipers would continue till Lady Kaedahara Yuki would personally tell them that it isn’t true. Curiously, you glanced at the commissioner, and oh how you would regret doing that. 
His smile was forced, and his gaze held a bit of disappointment. You stare at him in disbelief, your heart shattering even more. God, Kamisato Ayato broke your heart once more, what did you do to deserve this? 
But, you can’t help but laugh at the irony.
You and Kamisato Ayato have one thing in common: you both enjoy your delusions of being loved by the person you wish they hold you dear. 
Kamisato Ayato’s love for Kaedahara Yuki is unrequited. 
“[Name], I asked you a question,” says Ayato, snapping you back to reality. 
“Ah. I’m sorry, I was just lost in thought,” you continue, putting on a small smile to hide your thoughts, “What did you say?”
“Why do you keep avoiding Yuki?”
God, he says her name with so much endearment it’s making you want to cry. 
“Oh? I have never avoided Lady Yuki,” you reply with a smile. 
It’s a lie, of course. You have been avoiding the former Kaedahara heir ever since her return to Inazuma. Though, it isn’t exactly avoiding, it is more like not meeting her unless needed. Furthermore, you and Kaedahara Yuki have not been acquainted before, so there was no reason to greet her. 
However, the truth is, you can’t face her— your fiance's one-sided crush. She’s beautiful, charismatic and a person blessed by God, everything that you are not. 
You fear that one day, jealousy would taint your mind and only her highness, the shogun, would know what you would do. After all, jealousy is a deadly disease that taints both the mind and heart, a disease that could only be cured by love. But, you don’t have that luxury, do you?
Ayato sighs with frustration as he runs his fingers through his hair. “Whatever you say,” he dismisses your defense, “Don’t make her feel bad ever again.”
And so, he leaves, leaving you once more once again.
II. As a child, you have always dreamed of a grand wedding. You, standing side by side with your lover as they look at you with a loving expression as you swear your love in front of all your friends and family; And the wedding garment of your dreams adorning your body, making you radiate like you bathed in fairy dust. 
The grand wedding of your dreams should be the day you would only feel happiness, and nothing else. 
So, you await for the day that someone would give you the wedding of your dreams, someone who would give you the world just because you asked for it. And the day you met your fiance, you believed that he would be the one to do so.
Yet impressions are different from their true human nature. The impressions you perceive from people are nothing but ideas you created in your head to fill in the lack of information you have regarding that person. The impressions you formed would then form a mask that would cunningly cover your judgment towards that person, staying ignorant to his ‘true’ nature. 
Kamisato Ayato’s ‘mask’ was never there, your perception of people was just too naive and immature to handle a cunning man like the commissioner; it could not perceive Kamisato Ayato’s ‘true’ nature. But, who are you to blame? That man is cunning like a snake, crawling onto your skin as it makes you succumb to naivety. Therefore, you got yourself fooled and your hopes went up all because of your naivety and ignorance; Your impression on that man ruined your life.
Your dream wedding shattered in an instance, and your dreams for a happy future disappeared. Life has never been a rosy path with Archons smiling down at you as you obtain your happiness– so your experience is only natural, right? 
‘This is reality,’ you would say to yourself, trying to cope with your indescribable distress, ‘Life should be nothing like the novels I’ve read.’ 
Your love for reading starts to dissipate, replaced with a sense of hatred. You hate reading, it was the reason why you were so naive, so caught up with the illusions that you ruined your perception towards people.
You can’t do this anymore, you can’t star in a play you didn’t want to be in. 
You have to leave, you need to. 
You would rather die than spend the rest of your life chained towards someone who sees you as a nuisance in his unrequited love. 
But, How?
How can you, a sheltered child who only knows how to drown themselves in fantasies, run away from your family, friends…
Ayato?
You pitifully laugh at yourself, tears welling up in the corners of your eyes. 
You’re pathetic.  
You need to change. 
III. “I’m worried about Master [Surname],” Ayaka confesses with her head down. Ever since the Irodori festival, she has seen less and less of her future in-law which makes her worried. Kamisato Ayaka adores you, much to her brother’s surprise. The two would usually converse over tea about the latest release from Yae’s Publishing House, laughing and joking around about how the latest chapter was out of your expectations. 
Kaedahara Yuki listens to the younger Kamisato intently. Truth be told, she is curious about Kamisato Ayato’s, her childhood friend, Fiance, after all, she has never conversed with the aristocrat. Furthermore, you would be wed into a family that she considers her own, so who could blame her? Though, she has heard of you from a distance: the high-ranking aristocrat from the prestigious [Surname] family who is known to be collected and benevolent, delicate like a flower on top of a lake. 
Every time she asks Kamisato Ayato about his fiance, he would brush it off and discuss their childhood memories, dismissing her curiosity. She would press Kamisato Ayato for details about his fiance, even begging him to introduce her to her. But as usual, Kamisato Ayato would dismiss her attempts, making her feel down. 
But, if the oldest Kamisato can’t give her any information, shouldn't she ask from the youngest?
“I haven’t seen Master [Surname] since the Irodori Festival and it is making me worried,” Ayaka sighs, her expression down. 
“Have you tried contacting them?”
“I did try to request an audience with them, but the servants said that they wish to be alone,” Ayaka pouts. “Have you ever seen them, Lady Yuki?”
Kaedahara Yuki blushes in embarrassment, “Oh Ayaka. Please don’t use ‘Lady’ to me anymore. I am no longer part of nobility.”
Ayaka giggles. 
And so, Kamisato Ayaka stops talking about you.
Kaedahara Yuki isn’t cunning, so she does not press the youngest Kamisato anymore answers despite her curiosity; Though, if it was Ayato, she would continue to demand answers till her throat sores. 
However, if an opportunity ever occurs where she could meet you, she would grasp that opportunity immediately, paying no mind to the effects it has on others.
IV. “Aren’t you Master [Surname]?” ask Kaedahara Kazuha as you nervously avoid his gaze.
Oh fuck.
You messed up. 
For the first time, you decided to take a stroll on the streets of Inazuma late at night alone. You know this is a stupid decision, especially for someone as high as yourself. However, you needed a breather, and your family estate started to feel suffocating, so your only plan is to take a stroll alone. You knew your parents wouldn’t allow you to walk around the streets of Inazuma at night, especially without an escort, so sneaking out was only the option.
So, you hatched your plan. Though it was your first time sneaking out, you’ve read countless novels of the heroine running away to enjoy themselves in festivals. Hence, you have an idea of how to sneak out. 
It was 10:30 PM, nearing midnight. You disguise yourself using old clothes you stole from your servant, stripping all your jewelry in your possession, and only keeping a few silver coins. Sneakily, you slid past your servants and guards, climbing out of your estate’s wall. It took you a few tries due to your lack of physical strength; however, after some attempts, you succeeded. You quickly run away from your estate; The cool night breeze brushes your face as the song of the trees accompanies you on your journey. You smile to yourself-- for the first time in your life-- you felt free. 
However, your adrenaline rush was caught short as you spotted a man with silver hair in the distance. 
You tried your best to avoid him, but the man has the wind by his side. And so, here you are.
 
You awkwardly laugh, “Kaedahara Kazuha, it is a pleasure to meet you.” 
Kaedahara Kazuha stays quiet; his eyes are wide in shock as he notices your tattered clothing and unkempt appearance. You are a person of high regard, never in your life have you worn poor-quality garments and presented yourself unsightly. Even as a young child, Kaedahara Kazuha could only observe you from a distance due to the immense status gap, despite being a former aristocrat. Therefore, he can’t help but be shocked at your appearance. 
..
...
'Ah. I am doomed.' You thought. Today is your first time sneaking out of your estate, and you got caught. Sweat rolls down your cheek as you wait for the younger Kaedahara to reply. Numerous thoughts fill your mind as you wait, countless of which was fueled by anxiety. 
'What if he tells on me?' 'If he ever tells this to Ayato, would I be disposed of for being improper?' 'If my family finds out, I would never be allowed to step foot outside of my family estate.'
Your expression darkens as you fall into despair, realizing the gravity of the situation. For the first time, you felt free, no longer trapped in a well-decorated cage like an ornament for display. However, you got caught. 
Suddenly, Kaedahara Kazuha speaks. 
"Don't worry," he says as you slowly look up at him, "I won't tell anyone." Your mouth was slightly ajar, confused. "Huh?" You mutter. 
Kazuha smiles, "Everyone has their reasons for running away." 
"But I'm not running away," you refute. Kazuha looks at you confused, "Huh?" 
"I'm just here for a stroll," you state. 
"Ah." Kazuha rubs the back of his neck, embarrassed, "I apologize for the assumption."
"It's alright," you smile. 
An awkward silence fills the air as you two refrain from talking. Truth be told, this is Kaedahara Kazuha's first time conversing with you; moreover, he is not one to chat with children from other aristocratic families-- that was his sister's job. Due to this, he does not know what to say. 
Regardless, this does not stop him from worrying. Why? Probably because you are his former superior's fiance? Who knows. Furthermore, Kazuha knows better than to leave you alone at night. Though you are wearing old and poor-quality clothes, your aura screams "rich noble", which can make you a target for petty thieves. 
So, Kaedahara Kazuha makes a decision. 
"I won't tell anyone," He repeats. "However, please allow me to accompany you, master [Name]."

— Love Rivarly: 43. haunted
kaveh x reader (still two years ago)
Tumblr media
"Why are you always on your phone?" You snap your head up, startled, as your gaze turns to him. You roll your eyes. "You startled me," you say to the man holding a tray filled with pastries standing in front of you. "Maybe if you were not busy with your phone, you would've noticed my presence," he says, making his way to the chair beside you, placing the tray on the table as he sits. 
"Well, instead of working on our thesis…" he says, glancing at your phone screen, "your eyes are glued to the phone." Your eyes widen as you notice his gaze on your phone. You quickly turn off your phone in the hope of keeping your conversation with Scaramouche private. You look at the man beside you, flustered, "Al Haitham!" 
Alhaitham raises his eyebrow in curiosity, a small-not-so-noticeable-yet-only-you-notice smirk paints his face, "Is your conversation that important that you need to keep it away from someone else?"
"Yes," You reply, grabbing a pastry from the tray. 
"Wow, how straightforward," He replies as he unlocks his laptop to proofread the project.
You take a bite from the pastry as you lean back and gaze at his face. It would be a lie to say he is not good-looking– though not exactly pretty, which is how you like it, but God, he is handsome. This isn't a rare occurrence for you and Alhaitham: hanging out with each other for school. You hate to admit it, but hanging out with Alhaitham is peaceful– though it gets boring, it is still calm. Therefore, you can't help but feel like there is something off about the man sitting beside you. You take another bite from the pastry. 
Unfortunately, your gaze toward your partner does not go unnoticed. Alhaitham sighs as he looks away from his laptop to look at you. "What's with the staring?" He asks. You take another bite from the pastry, your gaze not leaving his face. 
Mouth still filled with the pastry, you speak up, "What's with you today?" 
Alhaitham raises his brow– a habit he usually does when he is confused, a habit you know all too well. "What do you mean?"
"I don't know," You reply as you look away from Alhaitham, breaking eye contact. He furrowed his eyebrows, "What?" 
You sit up properly, "I don't know," you repeat, "I just feel like there's something off." 
"Care to expound?" He mutters, his eyes not leaving you. 
You chuckle, still not looking at him, "I thought you don't care what others think about you?"
"This is different."
"Why?"
"Come on, [Name]. You can't ask me another question without answering mine," Alhaitham sighs.
You giggle as you look at him once more, "Well, you just seem different."
"Expound."
"Yes, yes. I know," you continue, "You usually aren't the type to join me on a whim for academic projects. We usually plan everything beforehand."
"I just have some free time, that is all," Alhaitham rationalizes.
"Feels out of character," you refute, "You aren't the type who would text, 'where are you?' out of nowhere, you know?"
"What, so you know me more than myself?" 
"I have a good judge of character," you put on a sly grin. 
"So, that's it?" Alhaitham leans against his chair with a smug expression. 
"Of course not," You lean against your chair, copying the man. You grin, "I am not one to make baseless claims."
"I know," Alhaitham smiles, a genuine and gentle yet small smile, and your eyes widen. You have seen a smile like this before– delicate and peaceful– but never on the man in front of you. 
Ba-dump
Huh? You freeze, 'Did my heart just skip a beat?' 
Before Alhaitham could continue, the phone rang. He checks his phone, then his expression visibly darkens. "Sorry, I have to take this," he says, standing up before you can reply. "I'll come back," he states as he walks away from your table.
Your gaze is still glued to his figure till it fades into the background as you slowly absorb what is happening. 
"Hahahah, fuck." 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Where is he?" You whisper to yourself. It's been at least fifteen minutes since Alhaitham left to answer his call, and he has not returned. Out of worry, you decided to look for him. 
However, your mind is focused on your conversation with Scara. For some reason, the thought of befriending Alhaitham doesn't leave a foul taste in your mouth. It's no lie that your relationship with Alhaitham started due to academic rivalry, but things have changed, and you are well aware of the change.
You look around the garden outside the cat cafe, hoping Alhaitham is around. After a few minutes of searching, you finally found him. Unbeknownst to you, your eyes lit up, not noticing the obvious disdain in his expression. 
You slightly open your mouth to call out for him; however, he starts raising his voice. "I don't seem to understand you. Why is it that every person who called is after my neck," Alhaitham yells. Instinctively, you hid behind a tall bush.
Today has been an eventful day. For the first time, Alhaitham showed a genuine smile; moreover, you heard Alhaitham yell loudly for the first time. Alhaitham has always been the type to keep his emotions in check, never succumbing to emotional outbursts. This is why it makes him dull. Sure, Alhaitham is peaceful to be around-- and entertaining when it comes to petty, playful arguments; however, the lack of showing off emotions makes him feel uninteresting. Which is why you are curious about Alhaitham's sudden outburst. 
Curiosity kills the cat– you know that all too well. However, an opportunity presents itself in front of you: the possibility of witnessing a man–who usually keeps to himself– have an emotional outburst for the first time. Furthermore, deep down, you want to know more about him. Maybe it's your desire to properly become friends with the man? So, you stay behind the tall bush to ear-drop on his conversation. 
"Me? Engaging in such actions? Stop putting ideas into my head. It isn't funny," Alhaitham says, running his fingers through his hair. "I called you to inform you of what just transpired awhile ago, not for you to lecture me on my actions." 
You sit down behind the bush with your knees near your chest. You decided not to look at Alhaitham because he might sense your gaze. After all, Alhaitham is an attentive young man– though you hope he does not notice your presence. You sit patiently, hoping to find out the reason for his outburst.
Time has passed, and you are getting bored. You thought listening to Alhaitham's burst of emotions would let you discover another side of him; however, he stays guarded even in vulnerable emotional situations. Hence, you decided to leave. 
You were about to stand up; however, the sudden mention of your Name made you stay. 
Alhaitham grunts, "You clearly don't understand how difficult it is to have [Name] as your partner."
You freeze.
"I don't know what you're trying to get from me, [unaudible]–" your eyebrows furrow, but you continue to listen to Alhaitham "–But me and [Name] are anything but friends, so keep your ideas to yourself."
Your eyes widen, 'What?' Alhaitham is a man of self-control, you know that. However, he is human. No amount of self-control can save a human being from anger. 
Alhaitham scoffs, "One more remark, and I'd drop the call. I already told you, me and [Name] are nothing. Heck, the only reason why I am hanging out with them is because of our grades. [Name] and I would never become friends, and I'll make sure it would never happen."
You stay put, eyes wide in shock as you listen to his words. You suddenly feel a pain in your chest and tears forming in your eyes as you listen to Alhaitham; however you refuse to let those tears roll down your cheeks. How laughable, truly. Just a few moments ago you were determined to befriend the man, however, developing a friendship is a team sport, it is not one-sided.
Deep down, you understand where Alhaitham is coming from. Your relationship with the man started due to academic rivalry; Moreover, your clashing personalities and pride made it difficult to have a decent conversation with the man. Hence, your professor purposely assigned him as your partner for the semester.
 
At first, you found it annoying. You would rather die than work with Alhaitham for a semester. Your clashing standards are like water and oil, unable to mix and be one. The both of you would argue over a statement, the supporting arguments, or even references. There was even a time when you and Alhaitham created two separate proposals and competed on whose version was better. Every day, Scaramouche had to wake up with your ramblings about how much of an idiot Alhaitham is and how your version was a million times better; heck, he probably heard you call Alhaitham every vulgar word in the dictionary. 
However, as time passed, you became curious about the man. 'Why is he such a pain in the ass?' 'Why does he usually keep to himself?' questions like those taint your mind like the chorus of the trending pop song. Therefore, to quell your curiosity, You started observing his habits, hobbies, and interests.
The more you observed, the more unanswered questions develop in your head. You rationalized that maybe you need to talk to him instead of observing him to find out more about him. So, Instead of arguing immediately, you took your time to understand his perspective. At first, Alhaitham was caught off guard at the sudden change in attitude. Heck, there were times he found himself in embarrassing situations as you refuse to argue back because of your desire to understand him. However, he got used to it.
From then on, your dynamic with Alhaitham starts to change. Instead of creating two different proposals, the both of you began working on the proposal together. You put down your pride, and he followed, creating a peaceful atmosphere. You started to depend on him more regarding academics, and he began consulting you before deciding on significant details regarding the project. 
You genuinely thought that maybe you and Alhaitham could develop a genuine bond. However, you were wrong. Therefore, you left the scene feeling betrayed.
You’re a fool. 
“Albedo, this isn’t funny. I don’t understand what you’re trying to say right now,” Alhaitham sighs. It’s been a while since he left you alone in the cafe, and all he wants to do right now is to hurry back to your side. Only God knows the reason why Alhaitham is feeling this way. 
“I am not in denial,” Alhaitham refutes, “I don’t like [Name] romantically. They’re a good partner, and that is all.” 
Alhaitham sighs, “Me? And them? Friends?” 
“… That’s right,” Albedo says through the phone, “Just settle as friends, then.”
Alhaitham stays quiet. “You don’t like [Name], anyways. So there’s nothing wrong with just being friends. I don’t understand your distress,” Albedo states. 
Alhaitham is a rational man. He knows he is not one to succumb to emotions. However, the thought of being just your friend awakened a set of emotions even he is unaware of. 
Alhaitham sighs, "Don't call me again, Albedo." And so, he ends the call.

Love Rivarly: 42. question
kaveh x reader
Tumblr media
Kaveh's and your laughter can be heard through out the restaurant. Despite trying your hardest to not disturb the other guests by muffling your laughters with a piece of cloth, the stares from them means otherwise. Though, their stares are nothing compared to a certain green-haired man's glare.
“I can still feel Tighnari’s death glare,” Kaveh jokingly laughs, referring to the death glare he received a while ago after sending out the tweet. 
“Well it’s because he is still glaring at you,” You say, tilting your head towards Cyno’s and Tighnari’s table. 
“It isn’t our fault though. They started it!” He playfully pouts with his eyebrows furrowed, a displeased yet playful expression, “Maybe if they didn’t comment about us on our phones they wouldn’t be targeted.”
You laugh, however you try to keep the volume down to not disturb the other customers. Kaveh smiles as he stares at your laughing self in adoration, who knew his and your relationship would come to this? He’s happy, almost as if all of his burdens, guilt, and anger went away; However, the unresolved question about your past relationship with his roommates creeps his mind like a snake. Kaveh wants to be serious with you, court you, however he needs to know what happened. 
But, does he have the right to ask? Should he wait for a few weeks before asking you?
Kaveh has always been an overthinker, so he can’t help but think this way. His joyful smile slowly turns into a sorrowful one as he dwells on his thoughts. He wants to know, but he can’t help but feel scared.
Your past relationship with Alhaitham is a mystery, a mystery he wants to discover, but has no courage in doing so. 
Haha. If only there was a glass of liquor near him.
You stop laughing as you notice the gloom in Kaveh’s expression. You slightly tilt your head curiously, wondering why he is so deep in thought. 
“Hey, Kaveh. Are you alright? What is on your mind?” You ask him. 
Kaveh slowly looks up, a painful smile on his face as he gathers up all of his courage. He needs to ask you, even though depending on your answer, he could leave this restaurant in a heartbreak or in relief. 
“[Name], may I ask you a question?” He stares at you, his eyes have a mix of sorrow yet determination, making you feel a bit uneasy. He wants you, and this fact alone is enough to give him courage. 
“Of course.”
Kaveh deeply inhales as he fidgets his fingers under the table, preparing himself to ask you the question. 
“What is your relationship with Alhaitham?” 
Your eyes widen in surprise, “You don’t know?”
Kaveh looks at you confused. Did you assume that he knows? But why? “Am I supposed to know?”
“Well, you’re Alhaitham’s roommate, I thought you’d have an idea,” You say.
Ah.
Kaveh shakes his head, “Alhaitham and I don’t have the best relationship. Plus, he was never the type to share his endeavors.” 
You stare at Kaveh for a bit before sighing, hands on your chest with your head relaxed “That’s a relief.”
Kaveh stares at you dumbfounded, “Huh?”
“I thought he said something bad about me.”
"Well, other than talking about his group projects with you, he has never spoken of you.” 
“Is that so,” You say.
You press your lips, “How should I explain this…” 
Kaveh prepares himself. 
You continue, “I guess it started during the 1st year of college.”
