yellow carnations symbolizes a sign of rejection; disappointment, if you will.
albedo x gn! reader; partial angst?

The waves crashed onto Falcon Coast as a crisp sea breeze blew through your hair. Today was rather special, as it was a day off for your close friend Albedo. So, to celebrate this occasion, you decided to take him to a place very special to you: the beaches of Mondstadt. Of course the coast isn't necessarily a luxurious vacation spot, but the breeze the anemo god delivers is rather divine.
You dashed across the eroded rock particles, giggling along your merry way. Albedo watched from afar, sitting on a rock. A smile tugged at the side of his lips. You have always made his heart flutter a certain way he couldn't describes. Emotions were rather difficult for Albedo to comprehend due to the fact that he's a homunculus.
"Albedo, come enjoy the day with me! You only get a day off once every blue moon," you exaggerated, hoping that Albedo would listen to your plea.
"I am enjoying myself by sitting on this rock, (Y/N)," Albedo replied, his smile turning into a cheeky smirk as he watched your face change to a pout.
What wasn't expected was you storming up to Albedo and pulling his arm to come join you. "Come onnn... it's not like you have anything better to do besides work more!"
Albedo let out a light chuckle as he looked at your struggling form. "Fine, fine, I'll come be a goon with you."
"What- hey!"
Albedo made a run for it after you started chasing him for his rather rude choice of words. The air was filled with the laughter among two friends as they forgot about their worries together. When you caught up to Albedo, you gave him a joking slap to the back of the neck.
"That's what you get for calling me a goon!" You huffed, crossing your arms and turning your head away from him.
"Alright, I sincerely apologize for hurting your feelings," Albedo 'apologized', though it was rather sarcastic.
The day slowly turned to dusk, the friendly banter and whatnot soon coming to a stop. Now, Albedo and you were sitting in the sand watching the sun go to sleep.
The two of you sat on the shoreline as the waves were being pushed up to the sand and pulled back away. The cool water reached your bare feet, as sand in your shoes would seemingly never disappear if you kept them on.
The sunset was exquisite when it was accompanied by the chirps of seagulls and the sound of water crashing onto rocks. The moment felt ethereal, sitting there with your dear friend as you relaxed from your playful antics.
"(Y/N), may I ask you a question?" Albedo turned his head to face you, his eyes glossed over with confusion.
"Of course, Albedo. You could ask me anything," You faced him with a warm smile. Oh, the sight of your smile made Albedo's heart flutter.
"I don't understand a feeling I have. It's like I yearn for something, or well, someone. I feel giddy yet nervous around them. I don't know how to comprehend this emotion and it's so irritating and confusing," Albedo put a hand on his forehead and looked down to the ground in frustration.
He felt a slight pain in his heart when he heard a giggle escape from your mouth. "What you're feeling is love, Albedo. It's sort of like a deep attraction to someone," you explained. You weren't laughing at him, no, you were laughing since you'd never expect Albedo to feel this way towards someone.
"Ah, I see... how should I tell that someone I'm in love with them?" Albedo questioned, wanting to know more about this mysterious emotion.
"Sorry Albedo, it's getting dark out. I really have to get going. I'll tell you more another time, okay?" You looked up at the sky in worry. You knew bad things always happened at night, and your home was rather far from the shore.
"Wait, but—"
You stood up and bid adieu to Albedo before running off. Albedo was left on the beach, reaching out for someone who left. His heart ached as he watched the person who he loved run off before he was going to tell them.
A feeling of disappointment flooded his heart. The day with you was the most enjoyable moment he's had in a while, but the day came to an end so quickly. Albedo, upset that he couldn't tell you how he felt, left the shoreline feeling as if he had a lacuna in his heart.
