The Never Working Organ. | Kaebedo |

Chapter 2 : Hopeless But Not Romantic.

Albedo usually gets up at a certain time every day, but today, today was different. He woke up two hours later than he usually does. He's never been a deep sleeper..so he couldn't understand why he would be waking up this late even though his alarm has been going off the whole time.

He brushed it off and turned his alarm off.

He got up and put on some clothes, a white (victorian) dress shirt with some black pants (he tucked the white dress shirt into them) and put on his contacts.

He picked up his phone and saw an email from his boss. He had told him to come to his office as soon as he got up, thankfully, it didn't have an exact time.

But, he never liked his boss. Even when he first joined, Tsaritsa (his boss) had always made him feel like he'd be fired if he said one wrong word.

He sighed and put his phone in his pocket and went to meet up Tsarita.

Albedo took a deep breath before knocking on his bosses door a few times before he heard the unnerving 'Come in'.

Albedo entered and put on a neutral expression. He walked up to her desk and sat down, "Thank you for having me," Albedo put all his politeness into that one sentence.

"No need, please, have some tea." Tsarita formed a devilish smirk on her face. "Thank you, ma'am." Albedo took the tea, but didn't dare to drink it.

"Is there something you needed to discuss?" he asked.

Tsarita turned into a more formal version of herself as she sat up straight in her chair, "Yes, I'd like to talk about what has been happening lately." She began, Albedo kept quiet.

"I've been hearing that you've been killing more people than needed, is there a reason for that?" She flipped around the pen that was in her hand, it seemed like it was taunting Albedo.

Albedo fought back an eye roll as he explained that nothing was wrong and that he'd been finding more people than usual. Which was for once the truth.

Tsarita narrowed her eyes by the slightest as she put the pen down harshly, but quietly. "I see," Is the only thing she said before closing her eyes for a minute.

"If you'd like me to slow down, I will." He offers calmly, Tsarita opened her eyes and glanced at Albedo. "That'd be much appreciated." She pushed her hair back and smiled at Albedo (still keeping it formal).

"I'm sure you know that the police are everywhere now a-days." Tsarita's smile only widened as she saw a slight (worried) reaction out of Albedo. "Yes, I'm aware." Of course he was aware, he had talked to one just the other night!

"Good," She leaned back in her chair with her eyes closed. "Now, you may be dismissed." She lost her formal act and went back to her impish self.

He stood up carefully from the chair and left the room, gaining all his self control to not slam the door closed on his way out, not wanting her to get to his head.

Harsh taps of his shoes echoed through the hall as he cursed under his breath. Even though he walked by a few people, no of them had the guts to ask if he was alright (especially after just leaving Tsarita's office), not like he wanted them to, he would've bursted out in rage if someone talked to him right now.

He wasn't certain why he was so pissed at the meeting, Tsarita always just knew how to get under his skin, and she obviously likes doing it for the reaction.

He reached the elevator and went down to the lounge, no one was really ever there in the morning since they all had to be working.

He took a deep breath before returning to his calm self. He decided to take a  walk to let off some lingering anger that was still in his system from that (awful) meeting.

Albedo took a minute to breath in the (slightly disgusting) air and went on his walk already feeling slightly better.

"Taking a break already? You're such a slacker," One of Kaeya's colleague's snickered as Kaeya scoffed in annoyance.

"I'm just getting some fresh air," He held himself back from calling him a dick head and went into the busy streets of L.A.

He pushed his hair back and took a deep inhale and exhale before he started walking, to where? No idea.

L.A was not one of Albedo's favorite places, especially in the day, people would whistle at him, give him odd looks, but those were just the small problems.

Sometimes he would get pushed in alleys because someone thought he was a woman or because he had forgotten to take his Fatui badge off after a mission (which was very rare for him).

When that did happen, he just told them it was some type of cosplay. They foolishly always believed him.

People can be so dumb. He wonders if he ever got his hands on one of their brains if it would be all mushed. Probably.

One thing that's never happened though, is running into a police officer.
More specifically one that knows who he is.

"I'm sorry, I zoned out for a moment." Albedo spoke then looked up at the man, he froze and his eyes went blank as he stared at the familiar blue haired man.

"I'd think someone like you would've payed for attention while walking, blondie." Kaeya smirked while Albedo held back a scold.

"Where are you headed?" Asks Kaeya, keeping that annoying smirk.

"I'd rather not tell you," Albedo continued walking but Kaeya followed.

"I'm not going anywhere either," He let out a dramatic sigh as he slumped down a little to add more effect.

Albedo scoffed quietly as he continued walking.

Kaeya blabbered on about how work was so tiring and how his coworkers didn't even do anything except sit on their asses and drink coffee.

Albedo felt like punching him, but from all the meetings with Tsarita, he knew how to bottle up his anger.
