SUMMER NIGHTS [albedo]

𝙫𝙞. 𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙩

-THE NEXT MORNING YOU WERE OVERWHELMED WITH GUILT.

You guessed it was more of a "I've been friends with Kaeya for ages and I wouldn't wanna ruin our friendship because of a person I nearly know." Thing but you were wrong.

Sucrose was also your friend and you didn't want to force her into anything. It was bad enough that you and Albedo were in a fake relationship to make her jealous. But you couldn't say no to him, he was to sad at that moment to disagree.

You just sat in your bed, not bothering to do anything, all day. You knew there was nothing to do. Only remember the past events and how that sneaky bitch Albedo made your heart jump with the last words he spoke to you.

"What will I in return?"

"My heart,"

The words kept on whirring around you head while you curled up in a ball position and blasted Mitski in your headphones.

"Imagine if he texts me right now saying that we're gonna have a double da.." you were cut off by the sound of a notification, rudely interrupting the beautiful song that is working for the knife.

"For fucks sake." You groaned and sat up, fixing your hair while you were at it. You were glad it was a useless notification, as it gave you a reason to scroll on Tiktok for a bit.

There was nothing there, just food, clothes and a bit of drawing. It was all so depressing, the same types of videos until you saw one, the one that wanted to make get ready and go out.

This person had got chilli noodles and made it gourmet! This was the perfect thing to satisfy your hunger. You flopped out of bed and went to take a shower.

The water was nice and warm, your shower gel smelled like (favourite fruit) and vanilla, this was perfect. You got out of the shower feeling refreshed and awake, a whole 360° turn on what your mood was before.

You put on a (f/c) hoodie and jeans and got some fluffy socks on (fluffy sock supremacy) and checked your phone. The time was 14:23pm and you still had enough time to go and get some snacks before like 11:00pm.

You opened your fridge to see if there was anything to drink, and to your demise there was nothing. Your fridge was as empty as your head at that moment. A deadpan expression made it's way onto your phase as you figured out you had nothing to eat.

You got your wallet, your phone and got your shoes on. A fresh, summer breeze was gently making the lush leaves on the trees rustle. Event though you were in the middle of a corridor, you could feel it from an open window by the staircase.

Speaking of the staircase, you'd have to climb up and down that thing to transport your groceries safely to your apartment. You sighed as you totally forgot about the existence of an elevation and ran down the stairs.

It wasn't long until you slowed down into a walk and carried on your journey to the supermarket. That's until you saw Lisa and Jean. You panicked and hurried into a jog. Jogging is a bad idea when you have a hoodie on.

You escaped into your favourite store, L-Mart!! Where all the local specialties were sold, and the chilli noodles that you so desperately craved. You took out their infamous red shopping basket and started off with looking for simple groceries.

You thought about how inconvenient it would be if you saw someone you knew in the shop, you couldn't possibly escape them. You were only lucky with Jean and Lisa.

Just then your eyes landed on a pair, one taller one with tanned skin and the other with mint green hair and paler skin. Kaeya and sucrose, and of course, the third wheel, Albedo.

And of course, he noticed you. He sneakily snuck out of the huddle they were in and went to greet you. His eyes twinkled. "Y/n, hey! I gotta ask you if you remember our agreement forum the other day..?" You didn't think he would remember, but since he asked you he obviously did.

"Um..yes! Also, how are you? You looked pretty drunk after I got you home.." he cut you off by hugging you, you became slightly flustered as he did so. Then you noticed that Kaeya and Sucrose were looking, he had obviously told them.

"Thanks for caring so much about me, I'm lucky to have such a caring girlfriend like you." He fiddled with your hair as your face grew redder and redder, until you realised this was fake. He loved sucrose, not you.

"Hehe, I'm so lucky to have such a cute boyfriend," you said, slightly miserable that you had forgotten such a crucial detail to your plan.

He let go of you but still grasped your hand, his hands were so warm and soft, it felt like yo7 were touching a cloud on a sunny day. You two walked over to Kaeya and Sucrose who were eyeing you up like you had killed someone.

"So I guess your the lucky girl, but not as lucky as sucrose," kaeya said, winking at her. You saw a flash of disappointment in Albedos eyes when sucrose giggled and looked at him so lovingly.

"What are you shopping for?" Albedo asked you, obviously wanting to get away from them.

"Some groceries, also a lifetime stock of Shin Ramyun." You said, his hand gripping yours more firmly. He chuckled quietly.

"You two can go off if you want, me and Kaeya don't mind," sucrose said, albedo nodded and you swiftly walked out of the aisle.

His grip on your hand softened and he locked both of your fingers in together (IYKYK). "Do you okay with this? You seemed pretty uncomfortable when I hugged you."

Your eyes grew wider and you looked down at you feet, that's not what you felt at all. "No, I didn't know what to do.." you replied, he nodded and sighed in relief.

"So you don't mind us being like this?" He pulled you in, really close, then kissed your forehead. You were now looking like a pizza without any cheese or toppings.

"A-are you okay with this?!" You said, obviously flustered, he nodded again.

"Of course, i wouldn't be doing this if I wasn't comfortable. Let alone touch anyone like this." Your face grew even more red. His hand was around your waist and you two were in a deserted aisle.

This was a perfect setting.

So calm.

So tranquil.

If only it was acceptable for you to kiss him.

Really thought.
