Love at first fight
Alhaitham x gn!reader
The scribe's logic is simple, never fight with fools. You made him feel like the fool this time though.
Alhaitham's way of talking is smooth and sly not everyone can make out, he doesn't argue with idiotic logic instead, he uses that to manipulate his way into making them believe what he wants them to.
But he never met someone so dumb that he can neither win or lose in your fight at the library. It seems you were the type to drag both parties down.
"So what exactly gave you the thought that telling the sages closing down all artistic activities would be a great idea?" Your grip on the book you to cover half your face to conceal your lip bite of anger got tighter.
"A tactic? I can't tell you the exact details but actions speak louder than words is the answer"
You rested the book on his folded arms " You do see the look on my face right now do you?"
"yes I do"
You opened your eyes "what does it say?"
"That you're mad at me?" You started hitting his arm softly with the book continuously "Wrong". He raised an eyebrow.
You inhaled "it says that I KNEW I WAS STUPID BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE STUPIDER"
He was ???
You clenched your jaws " See I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but I knew I had a bad feeling about you, and I've met you only today. Your alpha wannabe walk, your smooth way of talking, the way you indirectly shut sir Zakhir up as though you are more capable of being an instructor than him. Putting down my documents saying it'll be waste of energy AND THAT'S NOT EVEN THE REASON IM ANGRY"
Seriously? You're only wasting your breath now is what he thought. "See we both don't have much time we're busy people, these stupid squabbles will bring nothing but-"
You took one step forward and got very close to him "See my point is you make decisions and plans without thinking the chances and how it may affect others if it does not succeed. If I'm ever one of them who get involved in it" you pulled back your book that rested on his arm "I will hunt you and bury you, I don't even care if the akademiya will be after me Mr scribe, I see you with the divine knowledge. The bazaar has my eyes." With that you walked away huffing.
He was left speechless, was he supposed to be surprised? Threatened? Disrespected? He didn't know he was just drowning in the thought how you were so keen and gutsy despite having a clumsy and daydreaming behaviour. He felt that you may be an interesting person to get involved with for his future plans. Something that you just not so long ago told him not do.
It felt as if he judged you wrong. With that his judgement has never been wrong, to him atleast.

Legs on top of eachother and heartbeats colliding.
You heard him smirk, "What's making you so happy?" He smiled and replied "Nothing, I just got reminded of a time."
You eyed him suspiciously "what time huh?"
He smiled, a smile that speaks he's entertained and mocking someone "Remember the time you threatened to hunt and bury me?"
"uh.....ahhhh that, you were an asshole you deserved to be threatened." you rolled your eyes. He put his hand on your back and used the other to curl your hair "Would you now?"
You pulled his cheeks "If you dare to disturb my balance of life then why not." how do you even survive after doing and saying such things to Alhaitham was what always surprised Kaveh. Maybe Alhaitham just had double standards for some people.
"however from what I've realised you've come to love how I disturb your balance of life isn't it?" You shuffled and trapped him in your arms "Because you need to try more. The actual stage where you can actually destroy it."
He raised an eyebrow and gripped your wrists "Oh? so are you telling me I'm not perfect? Very gutsy of you."
You chuckled "Sometimes I realise the scribe may not be upto my standards honestly."
He closed his eyes and smiled "Ah yeah as you say dollface."
You were a brat, an asshole even. More than what Alhaitham was and that's what he failed to see.
