Dear Albedo - Albedo x fem!reader

Chapter 7 | you are my beautiful, by far

Valentine's Day

Y/n grumbled to herself, staring intensely at a heart shaped chocolate box inside a convenience store.

A mere blush settled on her face, wondering what Albedos reaction might've been if she bought him some chocolates.

'Haha! Look at this cheesy loser Klee, giving me chocolates? She has a crush on me!'

"Ugh, never mind!" Y/n stomped into another aisle angrily, smoke was basically fuming from the top of her head as she did.

Most people thought Albedo was the kind, calm type.. but when you grow up with him, teasing and arguing was practically a casual conversation in between the two.

As she got herself a Slurpee, mixed with various flavours from the machine in the back, her thoughts had pulled her feet back to the chocolates.

Klee was accompanying the sick man at the hospital that day... if she told him they were meant for Klee but she bought him some for consideration, it'd be a little less embarrassing...

The planned explanation towards Albedo was hardly convincing to her, but fortunately it was well enough for her to finally decide on buying those damn chocolates.

Stepping out the store with three heart shape boxed sweets, one for herself, Albedo and Klee.. the blush was still evident.

She watched her figure pass by in store windows, only infuriating herself further more in catching a small glimpse of the clear red on her cheeks.

'It's February Y/n, your cheeks are meant to be red when it's cold out'

She thought to herself.

Her shoes let off quiet steps on the pavement, her hands shoved deep into her jacket pockets, the bag of sweets hanging from her wrist.

It was a quiet day, that Valentines..

For once in a lifetime she could tolerate the cutesy decorations plastered around the city, maturity she never thought she could stomach.

Though the quiet was calming, it also meant
Y/n was left by herself to fend off unwanted thoughts.

Thoughts of her conversation with Jean the other day, thoughts of her old feelings towards Albedo.

They couldn't possibly be back, not after years of separation, they just met up again!

Countless scenarios swayed themselves throughout her head, Y/n struggling to shake them away.

Those little day dreams of Albedo she'd been having a lot more frequently, they captured her attention as the days passed by, it felt like she was being ripped apart from reality those very moments..

His hair and how well kept it had been, even when he's slept through days and nights on that stupid hospital bed..

How kind he was when greeting her in the morning, his pale skin leaving blemishes over his thin frame.

God, how the way his skin only got paler and paler threatened to choke her in her sleep.

Even when he was clearly ill, Albedo had stayed amazingly beautiful to Y/n.

He was, beautiful.

Everything about him was so captivating, from his sweet personality all the way to the little things, like how he'd scribble stars on his hospital gown each time he grew bored over his previous activities.
