Water Flows Like True Love (Albedo X Sucrose)

Deleted Episode (C10 - ARC II)

Hey! First of all, Thank you for 1.06K readings! It warms my heart so much!!
And second, I'm gifting you the scratched episode for starting ARC II : “The Meaning of Friendship” as a thank you for your support.
And third, THIS MIGHT BE AN AU, BUT WILL NOT INTERRUMPT MY SERIES AS WELL

As a quick summary, Water Flows like True Love would be 30+ chapters long, with three arcs (ARC I: “The Meaning of Love”, ARC II: “The meaning of Friendship” and ARC III: “The Meaning of Family”) but ARC II was so heavy for me to keep the flow until Arc III, and I decided to skip it and skip all possible Xingyun, Xinbara, Zhongcrose, Zhongven and Rannett interactions sadly (Yes, Arc II was full of ships although it was about friendship lol, Ashul stuff).

Arc II would start with Endora and Rannett interactions, making Endora question her concept of Friendship, and at the same time, Alberose are called to investigate a mysterious stone on Liyue (That would've been how Sucrose found the Gnosidorite), and at the business trip, they meet Xiangling and Xingyun, and after Xiangling's actions, is how Endora created her definition of Friendship (As she did in Arc I)

But anyway! here is how would've been Chapter 10 from Arc II.

*Note again, this might be an AU but doesn't interrumpt my series*

Love is such a complex concept to understand, but a really nice thing to feel. Because love is everywhere, and you can go and find it for yourself, because it's waiting for you. You can find love at the City of Freedom, or even in the City of Contracts.

If I can't call Albedo and Sucrose's relationship as love, I really don't know what else to call it. I asked Sucrose about it, who, blushed, replied to me that it was “friendship”, a new word I am researching information about. But after that day, they've been getting close. And when I mean close, I mean not upset with each other. It's kind of confusing, but Sucrose likes it that way.

When I see Sucrose, I see the sunlight, a sea full of energy and happiness. My Sucrose is back. One day, Sucrose made a healthy meal for me and one for Albedo. She seemed to be very happy, and it made me happy too.

We both leaved the house and headed to the Dragonspine entrance. But before leaving Mondstadt, the wolf boy and us matched. He asked us where we were going, and Sucrose answered about Dragonspine.

—“Can Razor join you?” — He asked us. —“Razor came to visit Bennett, and now Razor needs to go back to Wolvendom but not alone”

Sucrose accepted, and we three headed to Dragonspine. But my curiosity was huge, and I had lot of questions for Razor. I didn't hesitate and asked them.

—“Razor, What's your relationship with Bennett?” — I asked.

—“Razor and Bennett are friends! Very very good friends!” — His answer was accompanied by a sincere smile in his face. —“Razor comes to Mondstadt to visit Bennett, and Bennet visits Wolvendom too.”

Razor seemed to be happy about their relationship, and I somewhat wanted something similar. My only friend in life was Paimon, but now she's gone, as Lumine is. But I shouldn't be thinking about that, because my mom is about to see the Prince of the Chalk.

Before we arrived the camp, Razor left us and ran. He might be afraid of people, or maybe he was in a hurry?. Any of the above, He showed me a new concept to research information about.

We arrived to the place and Iris welcomed us. She was looking at us with a smile, it wasn't usual. Then, he approached to us. The blond Prince walked to us and greeted Sucrose and me. With his hoarse voice, he spoke.

—“Good morning Sucrose.” — He said.

—“Good Morning, Mr. Albedo.” —Sucrose replied. —“I got you some food now you're spending more time on the camp.” —She showed the food box. —“I call it ‘Nutritious Meal n°593’. I hope you like it!” —She smiled sincerely.

Albedo approached to take the meal, and realized there's a good smell on it. And I'm not going to lie, Endora loves the flavor of the dish! Sucrose is a good chef. Then, after taking the box, Albedo thanked her and spoke once again.

—“I almost forgot it!” —He said. —“I got something for you too.”

Albedo checked on his jacket bags, and got a small pendant, with a green stone in it. He asked Sucrose if he could move her hair, and Sucrose, who had a huge pink blush on her face, accepted. He moved the hair aside so he can place the pendant on her neck. Now done, he asked Sucrose if she likes it, who, excited, answered yes.

—“I found this stone while walking around the camp a while ago, and it reminded me about you, so I decided to ask Marjorie to turn it into a pendant so I can give it to you.” —He placed his hand on his hair, and nervously looked to the other side. —“I don't know the name of this stone because it's different than all I know so far, so I'm asking you to give it a name.”

—“Anemodorite” — She answered. —“This stone resonates with my vision, so I will call it the Anemodorite” — Said while touching the stone on the pendant. Then, Albedo spoke again.

—“And now we talk about this stuff, we have a new task.” — He said.

—“We?” — She answered. —“We haven't done any pair tasks since a long time ago, is this important?” — Sucrose was curious.

—“Yes, we have some important stuff to do” —Albedo answered to her. —“And it's better if you pack your things soon.” —He made a comment, which made Sucrose get surprised.

—“Pack my things? What do you mean, Mr. Albedo?” — She was curious.

—“The Wangsheng Parlor Guest, Mr. Zhongli, hired us for an important task and we must be there.” —He didn't answer Sucrose's question at all.

—“If you mean Wangsheng Parlor, do you mean... Liyue?” — She was getting more curious. —“Are we going to Liyue soon?”

—“I wouldn't say soon, I would say tomorrow.” — He answered nervously. —“And don't worry about your schedule, because I personally adapted it to our needing. Now the question is, Will you join me, Ms. Sucrose D'azucar?” —Albedo asked to her, while offering his gloved hand to the Sugar Princess.

—“I will, Mr. Albedo Kreideprinz”  —She answered while she held his hand.

And that's how our journey started. As soon as Albedo gave the task to Sucrose, we both leaved the camp and headed to our house. As the Water Flows like True Love, we move onward to learn new things. As we do to meet new people, who also will teach us things we needed to know.

Albedo, Sucrose and I leaved the next day's morning and arrived at almost evening. We were tired, but excited. The city lights were comforting, and the people's happiness made us feel like home. We crossed the bridge and finally arrived to the city center. It was full of kids, and adults. And the guys screaming behind me, one of them resonated with my Hydro Blessing. When I realized, I got frozen.
