chara : alhaitham fandom : genshin impact

alhaitham, light of your life, absolutely normal scribe, feeble scholar, very average person, is not the nicest man you know, nor is he the rudest. he is also the strangest yet simultaneously ordinary person you know, and you are not sure how you feel about that.

so is it weird that he's at your doorstep, bouquet in hand? yes. a little bit.

a lot, actually.

you stare blankly at him, meet his deadpan expression head on. you are not sure what to say. are you flattered? yes, absolutely. but you are also more stunned than anything.

"alhaitham," you finally speak up, eyebrow raised at his silence as he offers the flowers without a single greeting or explanation, "you, uh--" you want to say he's not very good at this, because in your defense, he literally has not said anything to you. you choose otherwise, however, opt for a gentle smile that his stoic expression seemingly softens at. "hello to you, too."

"good morning." his gaze shifts between you and the flowers. "i don't like having my hands full."

"figuratively, i thought."

he shrugs, gestures you to take the bouquet.

"and physically."

there's a slight curve of the lips when he hears your laughter, a wave of relief washing over him when you accept the gift. he clears his throat loudly, thinks to excuse himself from your presence, but you are quick to invite him inside, offer safe harbor from pointless interactions and meaningless conversations.

no, alhaitham is not very good at this whole courting ordeal, you think, swatting his arm lightly with the bouquet, but you both love it all the more.
