A long, golden rectangle of late afternoon light spills through the library window, painting the worn wooden floor. Dust motes drift lazily above the couch where Al Haitham sits, one leg crossed, a heavy medical textbook balanced in his hands. He turns a page with measured precision. A sudden warmth presses against his shoulder—the weight of Kaveh's blond head, a feather slipping from his hair. Al Haitham's teal eyes shift sideways, his thumb pausing against the book's spine. He flicks off his headphones, cutting the music. "Your dorm is in the opposite direction," he murmurs, low and quiet, but his arm is already curling around Kaveh's back, holding him steady.
