(The night of the party)
-----------------------------
"You know we don't have to go if you don't want to." Kaeya said as he put his shoes on, "No, no, it'll be.." Albedo sighed, "Fun.". Kaeya doubted him but didn't want to start an argument. "Are you ready?" He asked, Albedo nodded with a smile that looked worried.

(party)
When Kaeya and Albedo walked into Childe's house, it was filled with everyone from their school, which was much more than 70 people. "Kaeya!" Childe put an arm around Kaeya, he was obviously already drunk, he also had a big smile on his face. "Isn't your brother here?" Kaeya asked, "No, no, he's at his friends for a sleepover or something I don't know..uhh.." Childe looked around and then his eyes lit up when he saw Zhongli come in behind Kaeya and Albedo.
"Zhongli!" Childe and Zhongli then walked away together. Kaeya looked at Albedo who looked uncomfortable. "Are you alright? We can leave if yo--" Albedo sharply interrupted him, "It's fine Kaeya, I said I would attend this stupid party so I'm gonna attend it." Albedo was fidgeting with his finger nails.
Kaeya sighed, "Alright." Albedo and him then walked into the crowd together, then going into the kitchen.

They talked for awhile until a group of people came over and started taking all the alcohol, Albedo watched as it happened.
"Do you wanna go somewhere less crowded?" Kaeya asked, seeing that Albedo was uncomfortable,
"No, stop treating me like some sort of child." Albedo walked over and grabbed a bottle of vodka, popping the lid open then chugging it.
Kaeya's eyes widened and he took the bottle out of Albedos hand, even if half of it was already gone. "Are you crazy?! You can just chug vodka!" Kaeya semi shouted.
Albedo was about to say something before his eyes started getting blurry, he blinked a few times to see if it would help, and when it did he spoke.
"Kaeya, you always treat me like I'm some..porcelain doll that you have to keep safe." Albedo took the bottle back.
"What—?! I do—"
"Do you think I'm useless without you or something? Actually, don't answer that." Albedo got a painful headache, "I'll be right back." He said as he began to walk upstairs.
Kaeya wanted to run after him, but he didn't.
—————
Albedo walked into the bathroom and locked the door. He looked at himself in the mirror and groaned, he then looked at the bottle of vodka.
He threw it in the trash bin and sat on floor with his head in between his knees.
A few minutes passed and there was a knock on the door, Albedo got up and opened it. He was expecting to see Kaeya but instead he saw some random guy.
"Oh—I'm sorry, could I just, use the bathroom?" He asked, Albedo nodded and left the bathroom. He didn't know where Kaeya was or how to navigate around the house so he decided to go out to the pool.
