(Next morning)
Albedo's eyes fluttered opened as he felt the sun overlap him, he groaned and sat up.
The weekend, what an awful time for him. The only days he doesn't have work or school. He is caught up in everything so there's nothing to do except be bored and scroll on your phone. Yeah, sure, he has friends but..he wouldn't want to bug them. Albedo was about to sleep another extra three hours until his phone rang, it was a random phone number, suspicious, but he picked up.
"This is Albedo," Albedo said into the phone.
Childe- "Albedo! How are ya?"
Albedo- "Who's this?"
Childe- "Wha?! You don't know?! I thought we were best buds man.."
Albedo sighed.
Albedo- "Is this Childe?"
Childe- "Correct! As always, but, I've got a favor to ask you."
Albedo- "What is it?"
Childe- "Well, I was thinking of throwing a party but there's no available houses! So..since you live alone, I thought maybe I'd throw it at yours!"
Albedo- "N-"
Childe- "Okay, great! We'll be there at 3:40!"
Childe then hung up.
Albedo stood there with the phone to his ear. He slumped back and groaned knowing there was no getting out of this.
-------------------------
Kaeya's mom came in his bedroom and turned on the light, Kaeya groaned and pulled the covers above his head. "What's on your agenda today Kaeya hm?" Kaeya's mom opened the blinds. "I'm..going to a party today." Kaeya slowly pulled the covers off. "Oh? At whose house?" She looked at Kaeya. "Mm..Albedo's.." Kaeya got up and stretched. "Albedo? Do I know him?" His mother asked.
Kaeya's face then turned red, "Did I say Albedo? Haha!..I meant Childe's house! Mhm!" Kaeya said in a panicked tone, Kaeya didn't want his mom to ask him too many questions about Albedo..even though he could answer all of them correctly. Even where he lived...which Kaeya knew was kinda creepy, but following Albedo home was a simple mistake, he just zoned out and accidentally followed him!
"All right..anyway, did you finish your homework?" She asked, "Yes, I finished it after school yesterday." Kaeya said then went into his dresser to find something to wear. "Okay, your brother should be home soon." She then walked out.
Kaeya groaned, he despised his brother, he was such a kill joy! I mean, what was his deal?! One time when Diluc caught Kaeya drinking, he told their mom! It wasn't even that big of a deal.
Kaeya got dressed and decided to head off to the cafe he went yesterday, just to relax. Maybe he would see Albedo..no! What was he thinking? That would be creepy just to go to the cafe to see Albedo.
Kaeya ran out the door with a quick, "Bye mom," before leaving.
-----------------------
-Cafe-
Kaeya looked around and didn't see Albedo, but he saw the same worker from yesterday. His name tag said, 'Chongyun'. Kaeya went up and ordered the same coffee from yesterday, "Oh..and, is Albedo here?"..did he really just ask if Albedo was at work?
Chongyun look at him with a concerned look, "I'm sorry, but he doesn't work on the weekends.." Chongyun laughed awkwardly. Kaeya wanted to scream, he was so embarrassed that he turned red, "I'm sorry! That was weird to ask..haha." Kaeya then walked over an open seat.
I'm so stupid, now they think im some stalker!..and what's even worse is that they're gonna probably gonna tell Albedo. There goes my chances to be his boyfriend. Kaeya played with hair to distract him by what he just did, his leg was also fidgeting around by bouncing.
----------------------
After a while, he never got his coffee, he just saw the two workers talking to each other. He decided to leave. There was a music store where he liked going, so he decided to go there.
It was in one of the parts of town no one really went unless it was necessary, which meant there were a lot of teens there. Kaeya walked into the store and waved to the owner, Kaeya and him were good friends because of how many times he's went there.
He looked through the record aisle, even thought he didn't have a record player, he liked to collect them.
-----------------------
Albedo walked into a music store, not one of his favorite places to go..he hated the smell of smoke. And since there were always teens smoking there, he hated going there. Albedo looked around and went into the record aisle, he went through them, looking for his favorite band.
-----------------------
Kaeya moved a row and someone grabbed his attention, he looked up and saw Albedo in front of him. Kaeya gasped, which made Albedo look up. They were both looking at each other, Albedo looked at a loose of words, and Kaeya just looked scared and embarrassed.
"Albedo, I didn't know you liked--"
"Sorry, I've got to go." Albedo's eyes softened and he turned to walk away, "Oh, yeah." Kaeya teethed an embarrassed laugh and looked away.
Now when they see each other at the party, it'd be more awkward than ever.
