You were on a commission to Dragonspine, completely unaware that you weren't prepared for the harsh cold you were going to face. What happens when a handsome stranger comes across you and helps you?...
All characters and places mentioned in this st...
If someone told you that your life would lead to you being sketched by the person who saved your life during a snowstorm, you wouldn't have believed them. I mean, who would?
Yet, here you were, posing for Albedo as he sketched with the new pencils you bought him.
You stood stiff, trying not to look nervous (and failing). You could feel your heart threatening to leave your ribcage.
What if I look bad
I probably look really awkward right now
What do i do with my arms?!
Why me?
You looked toward Albedo, who was studying you throughly, when your eyes met.
Albedo may not have been very good at holding conversation, but he was an expert at social cues.
"There's no need to be nervous y/n," he said looking at you warmly "Just relax, if you're uncomfortable, it'll show in the drawing."
You breathed in and leaned back on the couch you were resting on, trying to imagine yourself in a less awkward situation.
Hours had passed until Albedo alerted you that he had finished.
You lifted from the couch, feeling pins and needles in your limbs. They had fallen asleep from being still so long. When you saw the drawing, you stopped in your tracks.
It was breathtaking
Everything was so realistic, ethereal even.
"It's beautiful.." you said, lost in the artwork
Albedo looked up at you and smiled
"Thank you, though a drawing couldn't do you justice."
You felt your face warm up
"Thank you" you responded, trying to stay collected
"Sometimes I wish I could draw like this"
Albedo's eyes sparkled.
"If you'd like, I can teach you" he said excitedly
"Really? I'm kind of bad though.."
He shook his head, laughing lightly
"That's why I offered to teach you," he began "Everyone has to start from somewhere."
He grabbed a sheet of paper, some pencils and a small box. He set them gently on the desk near you.
"Why the box?" you asked, slightly confused.
"Well, I wanted to give you a more angular subject to draw because it's slightly easier than round objects, but all i had was an old gift box" he responded.
Nodding, you began to draw. It wasn't too difficult, but something about it just seemed off.
When you were finished, Albedo viewed your drawing.
"Not bad for a first time, but perspective might help"
He then leaned into you, grabbing your hand that was still holding the pencil and guided it across the page.
"When the end of something is further away, it should be smaller in the drawing"
He began giving advice, but your brain drowned everything out.
He was extremely close to you
He smelled of light cologne and chalk dust. With his warm chest against your back, and his hand gripping your own gently yet firmly, your thoughts began to fade. You could hear your heartbeat in your ears.
His hand released and you felt it lift your chin lightly to look at the little box
"When drawing, your eyes should also stay on the subject more than the paper to ensure accuracy"
You hummed quietly in response. Every single word had left your brain.
"And y/n" he called your name, clearing your thoughts for a moment
"Your heart rate seems to be accelerating at an abnormal rate"
You could hear the smirk in his voice
You spun around to look at him, and when you did, his own face was inches away from your own. Your breath hitched in your throat when you realized how close he was.
A gloved hand tucked a strand of hair behind your ear and traced your chin lightly, sending shivers down your spine.
You saw Albedo look down at your lips before his eyes met your own again
"May, I?" he asked softly
Unable to register how to speak, you nodded in response.
You felt his arm wrap around your waist as he pulled you in to kiss you. Your eyes fluttered shut. Everything was perfect. Almost meant to be. Your lips fit together like two puzzle pieces.
You felt his hand run through your hair.
It was intoxicating
You both pulled away to breath, and Albedo cupped your face lightly.
Looking longingly into your eyes, he started speaking:
"You have no idea how much I wanted to do that"
