This is where his story began, even if he had a few unpleasant memories here, he still stayed by your side.

.

.

.

“So… Your the so called imposter?”
     Rubedo ask while wrapping bandage over your cuts and wound.

.

.

.

When you two first encounter was you hanging for your dear life as you slump in your pool of golden blood within the winter storm at Dragonspine, having a deep cut in you right arm where the dagger still piercing your skin. He didn’t intend to care at you for first… But he did in the end

.

.

.

“No … But I don’t care about my godly something position….”
     You said, disappointment can be heard

“And why is that?”
     He ask as he finish wrapping your torso

“Just like you, I wanted to experience the joy of living within Teyvat, the joy of experience life… But”
     He sign as he gently rub your back for comfort

“You were cast out then hunted even though you are the real one…”
     He finish your sentence, gently grabbing your hand and walking infront of you

“If I’m going to be honest, I will do the same thing with Albedo… But my reasons was the same as yours, to experience the joy of being alive”
     Without warning he slowly brought your hand to the side of his face as he nuzzle in it

You softly stroke your thumb at his faces, smiling so sweetly with gentle eyes

“Rubedo”
     This slightly caught him off guard

“You don’t need to be someone to enjoy life…

If you let me, the both of us can still enjoy life in Teyvat”
     With both hand cupping Rubedo face and slightly bringing it closer to yours

“Bara already took care of the real imposter and I think the childrens of Teyvat now know their wrong doing”

“But how will that make me experience life?”
     He ask nuzzling deeper at your two palms, you can feel his warm breath

“You will be acknowledge as Teyvat child from now on, you no longer need to dispose of Albedo or the traveler with his companion just to walk and converse with the other children”
     You leaning closer and giving him a soft peck on his forehead, you can feel his warmth from his face getting warmer

“You don’t need to live as Albedo. You will live under the name you desire and the life you want, by doing so you will truly enjoy life”

“ … ”
     He suddenly engulf you in a hug, it took you awhile before returning the hug back at him since the wound was still painful

“If what you saw is true—

He release you from the hug before slowly kneel down with one knee— he look like a knight kneeing down to Their Highness

He then lifted his head to face you, looking directly at your eyes

"But I do think I can only be fully joyful if I may have you at by my side, (Y/n).

So if you-”
     you let out a soft chuckle as you stood up and dusting away the imaginary dust on you, as you told him to rise up

“Rubedo, I’ll be happy be by your side”
     Your words were so sweet to his ears he couldn’t help but smile sheepishly with a bright blush. This time your the one who engulf him in a hug, nuzzling at him

.

.

.

Many watch in envy

Watch in regret

Watch from afar

Whenever you two visited a city for a change of pace, this stares he received, but he paid no mind to them

As long you remain by his side, his all content

.

.

.

You two lived within the vicinity of Dragonspine, in a warm and cozy cabin, living like sweet and soft domestic partner.

.

.

.

This is where his story began, even if he had a few unpleasant memories here, he still stayed by your side and will forever will do so.

.

.

.

This is also were his real story began, that faithful day, in that faithful place.

“I have never thought my joy of being brought into this world will be only happen with you by my side…

But I’m glad it was.”
