Pure (Albedo x reader)

Being's of blood

"Y/n.."

came a voice.

"Y/n, get up"

"Unless you plan to camp, we should go home"

you stirred then finally allowed yourself to wake up, "ugh.." after a groan, you finally took notice of whom was trying to wake you up. "Ah!" he looked at you in confusion, once again, he had no idea why or what spooked you so badly.

nor did he know why you were so suddenly more fearful of him then the creepy hat wearing harbinger, so with all he knowledge he knew of human emotion, or at least how to comfort someone.

he got to your level and waited patiently, he took notice of your shaking and frowned, "I'm not sure what happened or if i did something to scare you.." he began, setting his sketch book off to the side, wide open.

"I apologize..if i scared you somehow i did not intend for it to happen"

this, oddly enough put you at ease for a period of time, "If it wasn't me, do tell me who or what scared you so i can try within my abilities to help" you inched closer to him then stood. "I don't know what it was.."

"But it looked like you, but not only that..i just..i don't like what i did to get here now that i remember" you pulled him up and sighed. "To think, i had to kill other gods.." he brushed the dirt off his clothes and let out a small and quiet huff.

"hm, maybe, but knowing you..perhaps you just killed the ones who were no good, After all i doubt you'd put blood on your hands just for the sake of killing" slowly and ever so hesitantly, he comforted you with head pats.

"I fear you'll end up in a terrible situation if you allow your mind to torment you with incomplete memories" soon, whether he wanted it or not. the calm head pats turned into a very comforting hug.

or comforting to you at least, since Albedo was not at all used to hugs or physical contact at least unless he was cheering up Klee and such. "Sorry"

You inhaled deeply and broke the hug, "Gotta remind myself how distant you can be, y'know?" a smile graced his soft face as your usual spunk returned. "Now, what were you drawing while i was asleep?"

he sat down near the cliffs edge crossing his legs, you joining him, sitting beside him "I really like your drawings, but i think i prefer the real flowers more" he glanced over to you and raised a brow at the amount of flowers you had collected in a short time period.

"Y'know, i remember a lot of the archon war now, i don't remember any of the happy memories that Xiao mentioned.." taking in a big whiff of the lovely smelling flowers, Albedo tilted his head a little "Xiao? Is he the friend you mentioned?"

With a nod you assured him, "He told me about memories of drinking on starsnatch cliff with Barbatos and Morax, i guess i would have to remember eventually but.." he took began to sketch you with your handful of Cecilia's.

"If it's not a burden, i will listen though i cannot promise i can help" his voice as soft and nonchalant voice was as well, normal as usual. "Eh? well.." he continued to sketch, not trying to push you.

"Well, what i saw first was a sword i was holding, uhm, i think i was stabbing someone..they looked sad, the rest was a war fought between a boy and some god..i can't remember much" He hummed to remind you it was fine.

"You must've been used to killing during the archon war...of course that is not expected of you in this era, self defense is enough, i know someone who could teach you since i do not have as much spare time as she does"

you played with the flowers, weaving the stems together absent mindedly. "Hm?" you placed the crown on your head and got up to dance around under the silver moonlight. "What are you doing?"

he looked up at your dancing figure with confusion, "I can remember dancing, dancing in this hall or this big room or even a place in the sky" your feet were light and quick as you danced. "Plus the atmosphere feels right..i think?"

He chuckled, "Hm, are you not cold?" you paused "Well, i am now that you mentioned it.." you scowled and shivered. "I'm sorry, i can lend you my coat for the time being if you need it" you skipped over to him.

"well, i wasn't cold until you asked me, so yes" he smiled and removed his coat, leaving the tight blue undershirt, "Man I've never seen you without your coat, you look really um.." he set his sketch book down and stood up.

"I feel i like no different" you put the hood over your head and smiled, "I feel like I'm wearing Morax's hood again!...wait" Albedo raised a brow, "So you did know Morax.." this conversation continued through the night until the pair fell asleep under the stars.

In a cold place, in a land of ice, there was a queen sitting on her throne with observant eyes, the subject before her was known for his disrespectful and two-faced nature. his hat shielded his face from her view and his clothes were not fit for the freezing climate, yet he seemed unbothered.

"Balladeer" when she spoke his name he stood up and looked at her with dark blue optics void of emotions. "why have you not retrieved her?" she questioned bitterly, "She was in my reach for a spare moment, i have an idea of where she could have gone"

the queens eyes narrowed in disbelief, "If that's true then why haven't you captured her?" the cold air seemed to suck all the warmth from the boys body, he felt at a loss. "i am sorry, she is being guarded at all times by a knight, if i tried to take her then, relations with Mondstadt will be ruined"

his once void gaze was replaced with irritation, being an underling did not suit his tastes in fact he hated this system he was a part of, he wanted to tear it apart. he sighed, "I'll be taking my leave, i have better things to do"

The queen stared at the 6th harbinger in distaste however she was not surprised,

"Just bring my sister to me..."
