The Silver Dragon and The Chalk Prince genshin impact

The Beating Heart

Slowly woken up from her slumber she realized she's back inside the tent. Wrapped with the blanket like a burrito and another layer, Albedo's jacket. She tried to sit up but something was holding her down. She twist her body around to see the ash-blondes sleeping face. Strands of his hair were covering parts of his face.

Her cheeks start to heat up when she realized he was cuddling her. And she has no idea how did this happen at all. She tried moving away but his arms won't budge. Oh gosh, what should I do?! What happened last night?....WAIT KLEE IS IN THE SAME TENT. She internally panicked when she noticed his eyes slowly fluttered open. She stopped and stares at him.

His teal eyes were finally shown, as the dust of pink was plastered on his cheeks. Averting her eyes away from his. "How are you feeling?" he whispered. What does he mean by that?!

"H-huh? Did something happen last night?" she questioned, his grip on her slowly loosening for the two to sit up straight.

"I think it's best we talk about it outside...I don't want Klee to be involved." before he could get out of the tent he looked back at Y/N "Oh would you mind letting go of me? Your tail is still clinging onto me..." he said, as her eyes travel around his torso only to see a silver tail wrapped around his waist. She quickly lets go and follows him out of the tent, with his jacket still on her shoulders.

Y/N sets up the fire as the alchemist sat down on a log. She sat down leaving a large space between them, as she pulls her legs close to her chest. "What is it you want to discuss?"

"Do you remember what happened last night?" he asked, she shakes her head 'no' not recalling anything. But her neck felt sore for some unknown reason. "I see...Well, let me fill you in on the details...You got out of the tent in the middle of the night, I don't quite understand but you were in pain, there was something yellow glowing on the nape of your neck, you sprout out a tail which I didn't know you could do. Your hands became claws, part of your face had scales and your eyes were glowing. Then you fainted on the snow and I brought you back inside the tent. Somehow you who possess pyro element were shivering." he explained the whole thing.

Slowly she began to recall what happened last night, tears began to build up in her eyes. "It was just a bad dream..." she mumbled.

"I know it's more than just a bad dream... I told you I will take care of you--"

"It will have no benefit with your research. It's my personal issue that only I could fix. I am but your test subject, only to research my abilities and capabilities, nothing more nothing less." she states coldly, not sparing a glance at him.

"But will you at least tell me why we're you in physical pain?" he ushers closer toward her, but far enough space so it won't be suffocating for her.

She let's out a sigh leaning her chin on her arms, glancing at the alchemist who had a genuinely worried expression on his face. "Rex Lapis and I made a contract. A contract involve with what happened...at the Cataclysm. I am forbidden to confess any further or I shall face the consequences of breaking that contract. Do you understand?" he nods.

It was an awkward silence, to think the two could have any emotional distress, as they spend their time together. Little did the two know one was getting slowly attached to the other. Yet the other doesn't seem to want closure. The alchemist then spoke. "I find relationships quite...troublesome. Establishing a relation with someone and continuing to maintain it seems tiring. But, a few people made me realize that it might not be so bad after all. Though I am not good at socializing with others, they still enjoyed my company regardless." he smiles staring at her expression.

"We have only known each other for a week, yet I want us to keep this friendship long-lasting. You are much help to my research and development of my interests in things that aren't alchemical research nor studying the true meaning of life. If you would allow me to continue pursuing further into our friendship." his words shocked Y/N, he doesn't show it but they were factual.
