Work Text:
Albedo stirs and then he bumps into something solid in bed. A bit disoriented… he opened his eyes to the familiar interior of his own room in the headquarters. The bare walls and unmoved appliances saved for the small kitchen and round table.
A hand draped over his bare stomach and he followed the owner. Golden strand of hair is spilling on his bedding like a golden aura in its physicality. The said golden hair frames the most angelic and beautiful face he’d seen. Long lashes that touch the cheek… a small button nose faintly blushing… a full red lips that is soft both to touch and to kiss. Aether lay at his side… sleeping without worry, bare shoulders peeking above the blanket.
Couldn’t resist… Albedo lay on his side and reached for Aether’s cheek, brushing the stray hair and tucking it behind his ear. Something swirls in his chest and stomach but it’s a pleasant feeling… fond even. Love.
Albedo glances at the lonely clock inside his room and sees that he only has less than an hour to work. Other times he would bolt and prepare right away… although now he can’t feel the same panic. He just wanted to lay down and continue admiring Aether’s sleeping face… as cheesy as it sounds.
He needs to sketch this later… he would do it now but he refused to miss anything when he’s not looking.
Aether does have his own affair to attend to today but unlike him, Aether has control of when and what time he’s going to work… sometimes he doesn’t even go to and no one scolds him for that. Albedo can’t really complain, especially when those days were spent with him.
Unfortunately… the room became too bright and Aether started to stir. His cute nose scrunches before his eyes open so slowly and sleepily. Cute.
“... m’bedo..” Aether mumbled with a sleepy tone. Aether moves and cuddles him closer… burying his face on his neck while giving him an octopus huh.
Albedo chuckled fondly. “Goodmorning.”
Aether mumbled something… muffle by his neck but Albedo can tell it’s a goodmorning as well.
He kissed the top of Aether’s head… faintly smelling his own shampoo although it smells better on Aether. “It’s morning. I have an hour before I need to work.”
Aether groaned and whined at that, hugging him tightly with his legs and arms… Albedo acknowledged the effort. He just kisses Aether’s bare shoulder and strokes his back… feeling the soft skin in his palm.
“You have work too, you know. You need to feed Paimon.” Albedo added, obviously teasing.
Albedo glance at the clock– 40 minutes is still a lot of time actually. So he indulges himself and lifts Aether’s face… capturing him in a surprise kiss. Aether kisses back and Albedo feels like he could taste the warmth.
Many minutes passed and they’re still kissing. Albedo pulls away. “Later, okay?”
Aether whined, kissing him again. “I want you now.”
“Really now…”
