Water Flows Like True Love (Albedo X Sucrose)

16

Being constantly loved by my family inspired me. It was my only source of happiness. Neither the alchemy made me so happy. This is what people usually calls love.

Time passed fast, it had already been several months since our first kiss.  Albedo's kisses made me feel strong, brave and confident.  And my working hours were getting shorter and shorter.  Or maybe they were still long, but knowing that my little girl was waiting for me at home shortened my time.

One of this days, Albedo asked me for getting Windwheel Aster for a commission, so I needed to go to Windrise once again for collecting them. At the morning it was the first place to visit. The morning sun reflecting on the Tree's leaves seemed to be a landscape I'm not willing to forget. And as quick as I saw them, I started collecting the flowers. And then I found that on the floor. An unusual yellow brown stone which was shining at me.

I looked at it and I was surprised about the form. I haven't seen one of them in my whole life, so I got it and saved it on my jacket bags. And as quick as I finished collecting the materials there, I went to the library, of course first leaving  the Windwheel Asters on Albedo's desk, on his office.

His office was cold and dark, but the desk was colored by a picture of Endora. In that moment, I knew how he loved her, and it's not like I had a doubts about him, but this let me know it better. I leaved the bag at the place and leaved. I'm hoping to see a picture of me in his desk soon.

When I leaved his office I headed to the library, and started investigating. I searched in every kind of book of any kind of nation. I searched even in Sumeru books, wrote by them, which gave me bad memories. And it passed two hours, and my investigation seemed to be null. I got no information. Then, my miraculous girl appeared; Noelle.

—“Ms. Sucrose!” —She called at me while sweeping the floor. —“How are you doing?”

—“I'm good, Noelle!” —I answered. —“How about you?”

—“I'm good! But...” —She said something that made my null investigation have sense. —“What is that stone that resonates with my vision...?”

—“Does it resonate with you...?” —I was amazed.

I got an idea. And jugding by the properties of the S.I.I. n°1 (Stone In Investigation), this one had a similarity with the Vision. The yellow brown color of the SII n°1 was similar, almost the same, color than Noelle's Vision. And also it resonates with Geo. I had no idea of why was it possible, but I was probably holding a Concentrated Vision. A lot of thoughts came to my mind, so I had to make a deeper investigation.

I remembered that Mr. Zhongli was a Geo Vision user, so I decided to call him, since he seemed to be interested on this kind of stuff. At the next day we both met at Albedo's Laboratory.

—“Can you tell me about your experiment, Ms. Sucrose?” —Mr. Zhongli asked.

—“It's quick, don't worry”. —I answered. —“You just need to tell me if this stone resonates with you...”

Zhongli touched the stone when I asked, and it suddenly shone. The yellow became intense, and Zhongli was fascinated. Then, he started talking.

—“This is amazing, Ms. Sucrose...” —He was amazed. —“If I'm not wrong, this stone is similar to the myth”.

—“What do you mean, Mr. Zhongli?” —I was confused. And he started speaking

—“The myth talks about that Archons were chosen by the past Archons by discovering a stone called Gnosidorite, a stone similar to a Vision, but it haves such a lot of power. This one is similar, but it might be a misunderstanding because you don't have a Geo vision.”

—“I don't... So this might be a normal stone?” — I asked.

—“We will never know, Ms. Sucrose, We will never know...”

The experiment finished, but I had more information. But having mythical knowledge was useless since I have to use scientifical information. And it means it was null. But fortunately, I discovered it resonates with Geo Vision. At the end, my investigation did worth.

I can't say that stone was a Gnosidorite, so having it would be useless. I decided to make it a present, and for someone special to me. When I finished the day's tasks, I headed to Marjorie's shop for a commission.

After leaving the shop, I walked to my house. I missed my daughter, and I missed my boyfriend. When I opened the door, they both were there, sitting at the couch, waiting for me. My heart was full of happiness. I hugged them as soon as I got near.

At the evening we three were chatting at the living room, while cuddling each other and talking about how our day was. Endora was happy of being considerate d "grown enough to spend the day alone in the house", and we both Albedo and I, chuckled.

The night has come, and Endora slept on my arms. Carefully Albedo and I walked upstairs to finally lay Endora into her bed. Her face was smily even asleep. I was so happy. I was doing my Mom role very well.

We carefully closed the door of Endora's room. I was about to head to my bedroom, when I realized Albedo was already walking downstairs. I remembered how uncomfortable he slept in the couch, and I decided to step further. He has been living in my house for more than seven months, and he still sleeping in a couch. And somehow, the truth was that I wanted him to sleep next to me. That's the true. I still can't get over the warmth of his embrace, nor the comfort I feel next to him. I honestly can't.

—“Albedo, wait...” — I tried to pull his arm before he started down the stairs. Albedo was confused.

—“Hm? What's going on, Sweet Flower?” —He asked to me. —“Are you afraid of the monsters under your bed?”

—“Do you...” —I was ashamed to ask him. —“Want to sleep next to me tonight?”
