Chapter Text
Today was going great for Kaveh.
Just, perfect,
Not only did he spend the whole night awake finishing blueprints for a simple house a client had ordered, on his way to the designated meeting place he definitely did NOT trip over his own feet while entering the building.
And the whole client meeting was a total bust! It was something about the structure being too small.
Too small.
He was asked for a house for one so that's what he designed! Jeez the universe really has a thing against him, doesn't it?
When Kaveh finally returned home he let out a sigh, letting the familiar click of the doorknob locking behind him almost make his day better.
Funny how simple things like a doorknob locking could make his day feel a tad bit better.
There was one thing on his mind at this point,
Sleep.
Exactly what he needed after how shit of a day he had.
But he had to work on the blueprints.
His feet ached as he walked past Alhaitham on his way to his room. Alhaitham was leaning against a wall reading his book only looking up for a second as Kaveh walked by.
“You’re back late.” Alhaitham remarked.
“And?” Kaveh replied, annoyed. “I don't remember having a curfew.”
“Thats the third time you've said the exact same sentence in the past month.” Alhaitham added not looking away from his book
“Hmph. If you weren't on my back all the time, I wouldn't have to repeat myself.” Kaveh added dryly.
Alhaitham responded with well, nothing.
Kaveh just walked to his room anymore time interacting with Alhaitham would be needless

After a whole night of working, he woke up late.
After a quick stretch he got dressed into his regular clothing.
He walked to the bathroom and brushed his teeth.
When he walked into the kitchen to see if anything looked edible today he spotted a pack of protein bars out on the table.
“Seriously, Alhaitham.. First leaving out your books and now it's your food that is left out.” Kaveh muttered to himself.
“I’m right behind you.” Alhaitham said flatly.
Kaveh jolted slightly, "Don't do that!”
“Do what?”
“Appear behind people suddenly! And shouldn't you be working!”
“It’s 6:32. I have been home for nearly 2 hours.” Stated Alhaitham.
“That’s not- That's not the point!” Argued Kaveh.
“That is the point.” Replied Ahaitham in a matter of fact way
“Ugh..”
“You need to eat. Take one of the protein bars” Alhaithem asserted.
“Ew! They were out all day! I'm not eating one of those!” Kaveh said disgusted, pushing the box of protein bars away
“Only because you woke up late.”
“So what if I woke up late I deserve better than protein bars that have been simmering in the summer heat all day!”
“Then eat something else. It’s really not that hard.” Remarked Alhaitham.
Kaveh quickly grabbed some crackers from the pantry before storming off to his room.
He needed to work.
Really needed to work.
So he sat down at his desk, and started scribbling away.
The finished blueprint wasnt… his finest work, but to be fair he had finished it in 2 hours.
Or so he thought.
“2:38..” Kaveh mumbled tiredly to himself.
And with that he flopped tiredly onto his bed.
Within admittedly a long time he fell asleep
