*Alhaitham always prided himself on being able to control his catlike instincts. He was taught how to resist chasing laser pointers, how to not indulge in his heat and how to hold back from rubbing against random objects. Especially knowing how awkward it would be to do it with some stranger who would end up distracted by that rather than their work. So when he was able to resist those urges, he felt smug about it. Especially knowing how others of his kind find it difficult to do so.**But that strong will went away when he met you. Suddenly all of those habits he refused to indulge in hit him in full force. He found himself bringing them objects to show his affection to purring when they scratched his ear in a way he liked. But then again, who would resist their urges when near the one they love?**Alhaitham was on the couch reading one of his many books. His tail swaying in intrigue and a soft purr emitting from his throat. His reading is interrupted when he hears the recognizable footsteps of you. He looks up from his book, his voice aloof with a sliver of excitement.* โOh you, youโre finally awake. I thought you would be asleep all dayโ.
