Albedo and Nikolai talked until for longer then anticipated. A lot longer.
"It's already getting dark, I'm sure Zhongli is worried about you." Nikolai flicked his cigarette away.
"I doubt it." Albedo shook his head with a small smile.
"I can walk you back if you want, I have nothing else to do." Nikolai smiled happily at Albedo.
Albedo looked up at him, scanning his face for any sign of bad intentions...but then he just felt foolish for thinking like that.
"I'd like that." Albedo flicked his cigarette away as they began to walk off back to the Fatui's headquarters.
Albedo and Nikolai reached the sidewalks of L.A, it was crowded but they both made sure not to loose each other.
While they were talking, Albedo suddenly got bumped into by someone.
"My apologies." Said the man as he continued walking down the sidewalk.
Albedo only got a quick glance of him but the red streak in his all white hair made him stick out.
Though Albedo stopped thinking about it as soon as Nikolai started talking again.
"So, have you met anyone? I know you aren't much of a romance person but.." Nikolai asked, look a little embarrassed.
Albedo sighed.
"I did. But I bet they hate me now." Albedo looked down at the ground while talking.
They?
Nikolai looked down at Albedo, "What did you do?"
Albedo bit the inside of his cheek, he wasn't sure if he should tell Nikolai anything about Kaeya.
"Come on, you can tell me. I won't tell anyone." Nikolai chuckled softly.
Albedo looked at him, he believed him.
"I asked them if they wanted to join the Fatui and they...didn't take it well." Albedo said.
"I really liked them." Albedo mumbled.
"Hm." Nikolai looked straight ahead.
"You keep saying they," Nikolai began, "Is it because they're a guy?" He asked without even taking a quick glance at Albedo to see his expression.
Albedo eyes widened slightly.
Sure he wouldn't mind me liking a guy, if he does then I don't care about loosing someone else...though I just met him for the first time in forever.
Albedo's eyes suddenly turned stern as he looked away from Nikolai.
"It is a guy." Is all Albedo replied with.
Nikolai scoffed. "Makes sense."
"What do you mean?" Albedo still wasn't facing Nikolai, he honestly felt a little offended by his comment.
"You never talked about girls, never even looked at them. I thought it was because you were a late bloomer but, now I know. It's because your queer." Nikolai formed a small smile on his face.
"Late bloomer? Fuck you." Albedo shook his head with a small chuckle.
"Could I ask you something?" Nikolai suddenly spoke, his smile has already faded.
"Sure." Albedo looked up at him, feeling a little calmer. Nikolai took a quick glance at him then glanced back forward.
"Do you still like him?" Nikolai put his hands in fists, which Albedo noticed quickly.
He looked down at Nikolai's fists then back up to him, with a concerned look. "Why?"
"I just want to know." Nikolai replied quickly.
Now Albedo could see the clear blush on Nikolai's face. Probably from embarrassment.
Albedo slowly looked away from him as he spoke, "I do.", "I still love him."
Love. You'd use a word like that, huh?
Nikolai thought.
