Chapter 6 ➭ In love with Sucrose?

'Where were you guys?'

Sucrose was frantic with panic, her eyes widened in fear.

The two of you had entered the lab only to see Sucrose rush towards you.

'Ah, me and Albedo went on a walk... we forgot to tell you. Sorry, Sucrose.' You looked at her anxiously.

'You... forgot?' Sucrose's ears folded downwards as she looked at the floor. 'You went without... telling me?' She frowned; her eyes filled with hurt.

'We are truly sorry, Sucrose.' Albedo spoke up, yet his words were cold and didn't seem to have any sincerity behind them.

'I'm sorry. I should've... not cared. But, next time, please, tell me. I was so worried... and you guys were away, without me...'

Sucrose trailed off, then turned around and left silently. You started to follow her, but Albedo held you back.

'It's fine. She is just being overly sensitive. That's how Sucrose is.'

You stared at Albedo in disbelief.

'You can't say that! Sucrose has been with us since the beginning. We can't just... leave her. She's been a great friend for so long.'

'But we are more than friends, aren't we?'

'That doesn't matter right now. I can't just leave her. Sorry.'

You began walking after her, yet Albedo grabbed your wrist as you began to leave.

'Leave her. Follow me.'

'Hey – '

Albedo continued walking away, while his grip tightened on your wrist. You tried to pull away, but he was strangely strong as his fingers wrapped around yours like iron.

Finally, Albedo took you to his room. He shut the door abruptly as you were pushed onto his bed. You sat up, as Albedo followed suit and seated himself on the bed next to you.

'Why did you bring me here?' You asked, still quite frustrated.

'Y/N.' Albedo leaned towards you, then kissed you firmly. He pulled back after a while as you felt your face heat up slightly.

'I'm sorry.'

He gave you a light kiss on your cheek.

You didn't know what to reply to that, but you carefully spoke up.

'It's... okay. But can I at least talk to Sucrose? She seemed really disappointed, so I think – '

Albedo cut you off with another kiss.

'Do not get involved with... things that do not concern you. Sucrose is fine.'

You didn't reply with anything. You really didn't want to ignore Sucrose, but you didn't really want to leave either.

'Fine.' You were reluctant to give up, but something about Albedo's actions made you give in.

You gently pressed a kiss against Albedo's forehead, then leaned back again.

'Then... are we going to tell Sucrose about us?'

'Are you sure you are not in love with Sucrose instead?' Albedo sighed.

'I'm... sorry.'

You didn't mention her for the rest of the day.

The two of you talked for quite a while, about nothing in particular really. The conversation was scattered with occasional light kisses.

'Ah, it's getting late. We should get to sleep.' Albedo looked up at the clock.

'Oh. Right. Bye then! See you – '

Albedo stopped you by firmly grabbing your arm.

'I never told you to leave.' He glanced at the bed.

'It should be big enough.'

You slowly slid under the covers of Albedo's bed for the second time, after changing and getting ready. Dinner was silent, the three of you ate quietly. It gave the aura of a couple that had recently fought over something and refused to talk to each other.

Sucrose didn't say anything, she just ate her food and walked off with her plate when she was done. You couldn't help but worry. You had Albedo, but was it worth tossing Sucrose away?

But now you were sharing Albedo's bed, whose arms were wrapped around you, his head pressed into your shoulder.

And then soon enough, the two of you fell asleep.
