Actor!au!Haitham who's eyes linger a bit too lovingly while shooting a scene with you,

As I have decided to participate in the 2025 drabble month, hosted by @thedrabblecollective, I have put together a series of drabbles following the given prompts. Day seventeen . . . ‘Tropical,’ as a 𝐾𝑎𝑣𝑒𝒉 × 𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟 .
“It’s hot,” Kaveh groans, fanning himself with a palm leaf. “This humidity is going to destroy my hair.”
You glance over your sunglasses. “You look fine.”
“I look like a wilted tulip.” He collapses into the beach chair beside you, toe nudging the sand like it’s personally offended him. “And there’s sand in my sketchbook.”
You hand him a cold coconut drink with a tiny umbrella. He stares at it like it’s both a tropical curse and a love letter.
He sighs, softer. “Still . . . the view’s not all bad.”
୨୧ president!alhaitham who immediately got nominated as class president, followed by you as vice president.
୨୧ president!alhaitham who also occasionally visits the library, like you, to study or read.

୨୧ president!alhaitham who shows more of his emotions when he's with you, unlike that stoic expression always on his face. even his friends are surprised.

୨୧ president!alhaitham who, one time, purposely answered some questions wrong on a test so that you could have the joy of winning the little competition you two have. he was trying not to let out that tiny smile when you were rambling on about having won to him.
୨୧ president!alhaitham who prefers novels, while you prefer manga. one time you forced him to read one of your favorites. though, you still have a lot of novels that you personally love.

୨୧ president!alhaitham whose academic rival will always be you. he wouldn't want any other.<3
story summary (in case you don't care about my note):
Tighnari was perfect. Perfectly infuriating.
If you weren't at such a low point in your life, you would've appreciated studying under him a lot more. Now you had to prove to him that you were worthy of being his equal. That is, until you get down with a mysterious illness that even he doesn't know the cure for.

Overgrown Flowers is a story about the expectations we set for ourself, how it makes us compare ourselves to others and what it means to truly connect with the people around us.
OKAY so keen people might have noticed, but I haven't updated the last couple of chapters of Overgrown Flowers here on Tumblr, but I HAVE updated it on AO3. It's just a lot less work for me to post it on there than it is the do it on here :')
If you were following it I highy suggest you check it out over there! I will eventually post it here, but life has been really hectic and I've got very limited spoons to divide amongst tasks. I'm just really bad about formatting these posts (as you can probably tell)
I would VERY much appreciate the support though, so if you can, please kudos or comment, it really helps motivate me to write more.
synopsis: you get injured while on duty as a forest ranger and tighnari isn’t so happy about it
characters: tighnari x gn! reader
wc: 453
warnings: hurt/comfort, reader is clumsy, tighnari is kinda mean
notes: i wrote this really fast so it’s just a quick drabble, but i came up with the idea and just really wanted to write for him so here we are. enjoy!
“Ow-” you winced, hands turning into fists.
Tighnari didn’t say anything, he didn’t even look at you. His eyes were concentrated on your knee, hands fiddling with some medical supplies. He bit his lip in frustration, the bandages in his hand almost fell to the floor.
You held your breath at the sight, afraid that if you were to say anything else, you would anger him even more.
“Can you stop staring at me?” He muttered without looking at you, annoyance was evident in his voice. Your eyes quickly turned to face the wall. The plants had never been more interesting to look at.
Tighnari let out a frustrated huff of air before finally wrapping the last bandage on. Abruptly, the forest ranger stood up and grabbed all of his medical supplies before turning to walk to the door. You hopped off the counter quickly, ignoring the sharp pain in your knee.
“Wait— Tighnari!” You called out, “I swear, it wasn’t my fau-”
He stopped in his tracks, not turning to face you, “Yeah, you say that every time this happens. Yet here we are..again.” The spite was heavy in his voice, it no longer made you want to argue.
Your eyes dropped to the floor in shame, the only thing you could return to him was a sad, “Sorry.” You were clumsy, he knew that. But he was also right, it did happen so often and you could tell he was fed up with it.
It happened all the time, you went out as a forest ranger and would come back with some new injury you had just gotten, asking him for help in cleaning it up. Normally, he kindly obliged and helped you out, but now he was always upset about it. It was obvious he saw it as nothing more than a chore.
Tighnari’s shoulders dropped at your quiet apology and he set his supplies down. He turned around to face you, carefully walking forward. Picking up your hand in his own, he pulled you closer to him, embracing you gently.
“No, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been so rude about it,” he apologized, his voice soft compared to his previously harsher one, “I don’t want you to think that I don’t care about you, because I care about you…a lot. I just don’t like seeing you hurt, especially since it happens so often.”
You rested your head against his chest, “I know, I’ll try to do better.”
Tighnari sighed, “No, it’s okay. Maybe we could just start working together for a little bit, so I can watch over you and teach you how to be more cautious, how does that sound?”
Henlo so I saw a a post that said sumeru requests were open, if I’m wrong I apologize and you can ingnore. One shot or headcannons are both fine with me, you can do whichever you want, may I pls request a jealous! tighnari x reader (love ur works btw)!
OMG anon! I love this idea and have so many thoughts but decided to condense them into this! You're okay and my requests are indeed open and for Sumeru as well!
Jealous!Tighnari x reader headcanon
Tighnari
The fox boy doesn’t usually get jealous because it’s pretty well known that you both are dating and well known facts that you both are significant others.
Tighnari is openly affectionate in public, often holding your hands with you while patrolling or allowing you to groom his tail or unknot tangles in the fur on his ears (a privilege only you have).
But you’ll know when he’s jealous because it will be obvious by stopping the person flirting or stealing your attention all together and dragging you behind him whilst trying to push down the urge to lunge at the who was clearly attempting to flirt with you.
It’ll be even worse for the person if they’re clearly making you uncomfortable and they aren’t letting up until they are confronted about by someone other than you.
Let’s just say that you will have to drag Tighnari away or purposely tell him you just want to leave and be comforted/distracted by your lover himself, if neither of those work then your best option is to hope it doesn’t get physical because most “fights” the forest ranger gets into are verbal and witty.
