“I’m back,” Kaeya announced, entering the bedroom where a waiting Albedo sat in bed, comfortable in the warm sheets as he sat against the headboard. The blonde had a sketch book in his lap, which he must have used to occupy his time while waiting for Kaeya to return.
“You were longer today,” Albedo commented, a statement rather than a complaint. He watched as Kaeya began to remove parts of his clothing that he deemed unworthy to accompany him and Albedo in their bed.
“Klee insisted upon hearing the tale of the brave Dodoco and the slime,” Kaeya climbed into bed beside the chief alchemist, realising too late that he had yet to remove his ear piercing. He prioritised that right away. “I had to put on my best story telling voice for her to ensure she had the best experience.”
Albedo smiled, warm and amused at the thought of Klee’s innocent face lighting up in enchantment as she heard the tale.
“I’m sure she appreciates your efforts.”
Kaeya let out a small hum in response before placing his now removed earring on the bedside table. With that taken care of, he started to shuffle his position in bed to find a comfortable one. This movement jostled Albedo to the point he no longer could hold and look at the sketch book in a coherent fashion.
Without a complaint, Albedo waited patiently for Kaeya to find this comfortable position, a truly struggling battle by the looks of it. The constant movement went on for a good minute before it settled, and Albedo went back to his sketch.
Until the movement started again.
Albedo stared at the sketch line that was now out of place from the rest of his drawing and a small twitch in his eye betrayed his hidden annoyance.
“What’s that look for?” Kaeya asked, almost with a laugh.
Silently, Albedo lifted his sketch book page towards the knight, displaying the piece with the recently added error. Kaeya smiled sheepishly at the mistake.
“Whoops.”
Albedo sighed. “It’s alright. I’ll work around it.”
Just as his pen was about to touch the paper, he felt Kaeya move again, which earned a frustrated, yet adorable frown.
“I’m sorry, I’m just moving closer to you, if that’s alright,” Kaeya had already started nestling up to the blonde, letting his head rest upon Albedo’s shoulder. “I promise I’ll remain still from now.”
“Thank you.”
“For what its worth, the sketch is still beautiful. You can hardly tell the mistake.”
“It shouldn’t be too difficult to amend,” Albedo focused, letting the pen glide along the paper, creating new and beautiful shapes to make the image. Kaeya was fascinated by it, though admittedly, it was putting him to sleep. It was too calming, and he wanted to at least spend some time with Albedo before their scheduled sleep time.
Kaeya noted the bare collarbone that Albedo’s night shirt presented and with stealthy movement, he moved his hand up to gently pull the shirt to the side and revealed some of Albedo’s shoulder.
Albedo barely registered the movement until he felt lips on his shoulder, causing him to flinch. He was surprised but not by the action itself, but by how much it caused a ticklish sensation. Albedo said nothing and decided to let Kaeya continue his doting, figuring it would stop feeling ticklish after a little while.
It didn’t.
In fact, the more Kaeya’s kisses planted on his skin, the more difficult Albedo found it to remain still. Before he knew it, he started to fidget in his spot.
Kaeya hummed knowingly as his lips travelled up to Albedo’s ear. He could hear the grin as it whispered softly. “Ticklish?”
That was enough for Albedo to break down into flustered giggles and Kaeya followed up by placing ticklish kisses to his ear.
“Kaeya!” Albedo whined through his giggles but surprisingly leaned into the affection. Kaeya happily peppered more kisses to his ear and neck area, relishing in the delightful sounds that was Albedo’s sweet laughter.
“You’re so ticklish, Albedo,” Kaeya stated the obvious while grabbing onto the sketch book and removed it from Albedo’s reach. He then brought his hand back down to wrap and grab onto Albedo’s waist, gently probing and poking there to obtain new giggles.
The squirming increased as well as the laughter. “Nohoho!”
“No?” Kaeya smiled against his neck, feeling how warm it was becoming. “You don’t like my kisses? I’m hurt.”
“Ihit’s too tihihicklihihish!”
Kaeya hummed thoughtfully, prolonging it just to purposely tickle against Albedo’s neck. He could feel the blonde’s hand wrap around the wrist that was poking at his waist in attempts to stop it, but it seemed fruitless.
Kaeya had a decision to make; to either respectfully let his adorable alchemist go mercifully and proceed to pamper him with less ticklish affection or completely torture the man while he had the chance.
Well, you should always take opportunities while you can, right?
Kaeya’s fingers dove under Albedo’s shirt, scribbling at the soft and bare skin while his lips travelled hastily to the star symbol that decorated the front of Albedo’s neck. Albedo positively squealed.
“KAHAHEYAHA!” he howled, but with the now added bodyweight of Kaeya leaning over the poor man, he could barely move to squirm. He could only laugh and laugh he did.
Kaeya shushed him. “You’re going to ruin all my hard work and wake up little Klee. You don’t want that, do you?”
Albedo tried, he really did, but he couldn’t hold back his laughter as his sensitive spots were targeted. The star symbol was abnormally ticklish, and Kaeya never failed to take advantage of that fact in these playful moments of theirs.
But Kaeya was right, at this rate, he would end up waking Klee at this rate.
“Plehehease!” he tried, using both of his hands to push on the knight’s shoulders in hopes to get him to back away. Unfortunately, Kaeya was not showing signs of stopping as his lips pressed tickly kiss after tickly kiss onto Albedo’s star, sending waves of ticklish currents shooting through his body. “I cahahan’t!”
With one last ticklish kiss, forcing a last laugh from the blonde, Kaeya stopped.
His eye stared down at Albedo, taking in the beautiful sight of his dishevelled appearance with a warm smile. That flustered face and messy hair was simply breath taking to him. He leaned down to press a kiss on Albedo’s nose, letting his fingers gently stroke up and down the soft skin from under Albedo’s shirt.
“Why must you do that every time?” Albedo asked, sounding almost out of breath.
“As if you don’t enjoy every moment of it,” Kaeya countered, letting himself rest down against Albedo’s chest. Albedo brought his hand up to gently stroke through Kaeya’s blue locks as they both settled down. “You can’t hide it from me. I know you too well, Albedo.”
“Please, just go to sleep now.” Albedo insisted, desperate to escape this conversation before Kaeya decided to start shenanigans again.
He could only hope poor Klee didn’t wake up from all the noise and eventually, both men drifted off in a peaceful slumber, wrapped in each other’s warm and loving embrace.
