Chapter Text
You’d have to be blind to not understand that Kalim likes you. Like, really blind. He invites you to all of his parties, and mind you, most of them are for you. He's so clingy, always hugging you, always talking to you for hours on end. Jamil is the one who interrupts the conversation, saying that it’s already midnight and the two of you need to sleep.
However, it takes a while for Kalim to realize that he loves you and that his feelings for you aren’t only platonic. But by the Seven! As soon as he puts one and one together, he's running to you. He's so impulsive about it; the only thing on his mind is you and how much he loves you.
“Y/N! You know, lately I've been trying to understand why I feel so weird when I’m around you…” He goes on for a while, explaining every little detail of how he feels. It's all so messy, and he keeps repeating himself, but you don’t have the heart to tell him to hurry up when he has this smile plastered on his face that could blind anyone. “And I just realized that I love you!”
“Kalim…I…I’m sorry but I only see you as a friend…” It takes him a while to register your words, but don’t worry, he fully accepts that you don’t like him like that. Of course, he feels sad, and you notice that by the fact that he seems a little bit more quiet than normal when you two are together. But give him a day or two, and he is back to his cheerful self.
The two of you go back to being friends, and he couldn’t be happier that even if you don’t love him, you two can still be friends.
