~Dragonspine forgives no one and the winds are cold, like the cryo archon's wrath~
Ever since hearing Kaeya's voice line for Albedo I know I had to make something. I think the concept of Kheanriah is really interesting so heads-up (There might be sp...
I didn't know dying could be so peaceful. I felt so much anguish in my body when his eyes went dark. Those beautiful mismatched eyes. I couldn't bear to stare at his cold, dead body.
My hands were stained with his blood and my vision was pure red. The only thing I wanted after that was the sweet relief of death. I begged and begged, the Traveler is forgiving in that regard. I would thank them if I was still alive.
My legs feel light, like I'm walking underwater. There is no sky here, it's the purest white I have ever seen. My body is not completely solid, it must be an afterlife thing.
My feet trek through the vast open space, no end in sight.
I feel tired.
But then I see something. My eye catches the slightest movement. My body is compelled to move. Move.
So I do.
My eyes deceive me, they should. They should but-
"Hello Starlight."
He is there. A small smile on his face and he is hesitant as well, as if he does not believe I am here either. But he's there, it's really him. It can't be any other person but him.
"Kaeya..." my voice is shaking, it's like a tiny crackle in a flame. It's desperate for warmth, embrace, safety.
I walk slowly, agonizingly so. I cannot believe my eyes. Was it possible for me, an inhumane being, to end up in such an afterlife? To not wander the empty abyss without ever seeing him again? I thought I would never be able to speak or think again.
"Albedo," he breathes out, as if he had been wanting to say that to me the moment he saw me.
And I fall into his embrace. Oh how I missed his arms. His dark colored skin is still so beautiful, I cannot help but look at him more after witnessing his lifeless body. His touch burns so brightly, as if I have flown right into the sun.
He hugs me tightly, his chin notched into my shoulder. I do the same, although my arms are shaking, I hold on for dear life.
"I'm so sorry," I cry out, I hadn't realized I was crying.
He pulls away and cups my face, he kisses me and by the archons does he kiss me. His lips, I missed this. I missed it so much. I press back and I don't want to pull away. I'm afraid he'll disappear again, not again.

"My lovely Albedo, look at me," he presses his forehead to mine, "I had wanted to die for so long, I thought I was going to do it myself but I wanted you to. Because then I knew I would regret nothing. And I don't."
He keeps me in his embrace, "Albedo, you are the best thing to ever happen to me."
What did I do? What did I do to deserve someone like him? He is everything to me.
"You as well," I whisper, I kiss his collarbone lightly. He smells like the morning sun, he looks like the Calla Lilies that have just bloomed into the new spring, like the ocean at its calmest, and a warm fire that keeps me cozy during the snowstorms of Dragonspine.
My life is finally over, he has fulfilled me in life. And now in death I can finally be free from the burden of living. I can exist with him, in his arms for eternity.
"I love you." The words I long to say over and over again.
He pulls my waist to his, looks into my eyes and smiles the brightest smile I have ever seen.
"I love you too, starlight."
And I know he loves me, more than anything in the world.
