Juxtaposition
Fluff, Alhaitham x gender neutral reader
There are many words that people would use to describe your boyfriend. The one that they use the most is „arrogant“.
„What do you mean it is now finished?“, Alhaitham stares at his colleague with his usual blank expression. „Well, it took longer than expected to write that report and-„ „Then you should have applied for an extension, instead of submitting past the deadline making my life needlessly harder.“ and with that he walked away leaving a frustrated person behind.
To no one‘s surprise, it is not the only word that has been uttered in relation to your partner. „Inconsiderate“ might have been one of the front runners.
A loud „What!?“ is heard out of Alhaitham‘s office. „You heard me. It is already 5pm, which is the end of my office hours. I am going home.“, he said while getting up to leave. „But I JUST got into the door! You cannot be serious right now…. Just give me-„ „And stay longer than I need to? I believe that to be quite unnecessary and a waste of my time.“ „But…“ Nothing more is said as Alhaitham has already walked out of the door on his way home.
Whenever you announce to people that Alhaitham is your boyfriend you are always met with three distinct reactions: disbelief, confusion and pity. However, you never understood these responses since there is no one else you could imagine yourself with.
As you are preparing dinner you hear the front door opening with a relaxed „I‘m home“ attached to it. An instant smile paints across your face as you make your way to greet Alhaitham with a hug. „Welcome home! How was your day?“, you ask while squeezing him. „The usual, nothing much to say, what are you cooking anyway?“, he replies, a confused look making itself noticeable. „Oh well today I‘m trying something new! I hope you‘ll like it!“ „You know I‘m not much of a picky eater, y/n“ „I am aware, but it was a heads-up, in case it does not taste well“, you say with a huge grin. For the first time that day, a small smirk shows itself on Alhaitham’s face as he leans in close to you, your noses almost touching. „Your cooking has never disappointed me as such my deduction is it will be no different today“ and with that he moves in and kisses you, first slowly then with passion, pulling you closer with his arms around your waist.
You‘re the one to break the kiss and as if awakening from a trance you whisper „The dinner will burn…“ He stares at you with his beautiful eyes not looking away for a second. You raise an eyebrow and say „Are you sure everything was „the usual“ today? That was one hell of a kiss.“ He continues to look at you and hold you tightly in his arm as he takes the other to cup your cheek. „It was, I just missed you.“ Your heart skips a beat at his words said so elegantly yet nonchalantly making you blush instantly. „A-Alhaitham?!“, you stutter as he moves in for yet another kiss, short but sweet then he releases you from his grip stepping into the kitchen.
You are left puzzled as you stand in the living room. Shaking your head, you smile and think to yourself: Truly, if put in juxtaposition, I got the better part.
Ayooo!!!! My very first post on this blog…. Anyways! I wanted to commemorate it to the silly man that is my pfp. What a doof (I love him.)
Hope you like it!!
Small side note: idk if he actually is a picky eater or not. Let‘s just pretend he isn’t for the sake of this fic
