The Science of Falling in Love

Sharing Stories over Coffee

Venti- Any pronouns  Xiao- They/Them

TW- BRIEF MENTIONS OF DRINKING IN THE PAST, BRIEF MENTIONS OF DEATH IN THE PAST, MENTIONS OF UNPLANNED PREGNANCY

Sorry to have some angst this early on but I felt sharing more about their pasts would be good.

"Albedo I would love too."

"Wait really? " Albedo was shocked. An attractive man wanted to spend time with him.

"Of course. Where and what time? I will be there." Kaeya asked again.

" How about the café down the road at about 2pm tomorrow? "

"Its a date."

The next day Albedo dropped Klee off at her mum's house before getting changed quickly. He decided on a white short sleeve shirt, a black skirt and a cream cardigan, styling their hair in its usual double braids pulled back into a ponytail.

He walked into the café and saw Kaeya already had a table. He stood up to greet him and they visibly blushed.

Kaeya had eyeliner on. Not only that but he had a black long sleeve shirt, black trousers and a corset. A fucking corset. This man was going to be death of him.

"Albedo hey!" 

"Hello Kaeya. I hope you weren't waiting alone for too long."

"No it's fine I only got here a couple  of minutes ago."

"Oh good."

The two talked for a while before a face familiar to Albedo walked up to take their order.

"Hello there! Are you two ready to order?" They asked.

"Venti?" Albedo asked.

"Albedo I thought it was you!" Venti said. 

"Kaeya this is Venti, we went to university together. Venti this is Kaeya."

"Nice to meet you Kaeya. What can I get you both?"

"I will take a black coffee please." Albedo said.

"And I will have the caramel iced latte. Thank  you." Kaeya said.

"Alright, I will bring those over when they are done."

Venti walked off towards the kitchen, leaving the two alone again. 

"Well I know we've gotten to know each other briefly obviously but what should I definitely know about you? Give me the quick Albedo rundown. " 

"Ok. My full name is Albedo Kreideprinz, I have a masters degree in chemistry and I teach it at the local high school, I have no siblings and no current romantic partner, I use he/they pronouns and I am pansexual. Your turn."

"My full name is Kaeya Ragnvindr, I was adopted, I have one brother but our relationship is a bit rocky at the moment, I also am not currently dating anyone, I studied child psychology at university, my pronouns are he/him and I am also Queer."

"Is your current bad relationship with your brother due to you being adopted?" Albedo asked.

"No. We always knew I was. I mean I look nothing like him or my father so it was pretty obvious. No our relationship started to decline a year ago. We lost our dad suddenly to well what the doctor said is natural causes but it feels too weird for it to be. After that he sort of shut himself out from the world. Every time I tried to talk to him he pushed me away. It's just never been the same since." Kaeya answered, seeming visibly upset.
