Albedo has favorite moments and it was the ones hidden in the secluded camp in the mountain, the privacy of his room and when they’re out in the open but thought of the world as nothing, revolving around each other.
Some were precious that happened on a certain night. With a very special person.
There is soft music playing in the background one morning. It was not loud enough to wake him up from sleep… in fact it was gentle and soft, almost putting him back to sleep. There are small pitter patter outside the bedroom and there’s a nice aroma in the air.
Guaranteed the other side of the bed is empty and Albedo can only feel a pillow pressed on his back as if to mimic the person occupying it.
Morning light in the room… It was a clear and bright sunny day it seemed. The sound continues from the living room and so is the slow hum of someone going with it. Aether sure do have a great voice it is no wonder he likes him to talk to him sleep.
Getting up, a smile blooms quite slowly. The curtain in the living room flutters around and the sunlight drips on the floor. Aether walks around the kitchen with ease, a dance in his step and holding a plate of what seemed to be waffles, so that’s why it smells lovely.
Aether yelps when he closes in, sneaking behind his back.
“Morning,” he greeted. “Rise and shine.”
Albedo tightened his hug. “Morning, it smells divine.”
“Did it wake you up?”
“It’s because I’m alone.”
Aether laughs and pat the top of his head when he bury his face on his neck. Aether smells of sweet fruit.
“Why do you smell delicious?” Albedo asked.
Aether swats his hand with no force and continues, the pan sizzles.
Albedo feels content, it feels satisfying to be in his place. Whether it’s because of Aether, the atmosphere, the slow song in the background, the intimacy of this very moment.. he feels happy and it’s a kind of good overwhelm. He feels soft and oddly.. clingy, something he never thought he would do. But here he is, peppering kisses to Aether’s jaw and shoulders, finding satisfaction to see and hear him react.
It took centuries and a lot of issues but it was worth it.
“You’re so affectionate when you're sleepy.” Aether says.
“I’m always affectionate with you.”
“Sure..”
A bit playful, Albedo tilted Aether’s head to the side to land a quick kiss on the lips. “See?”
The pinkness on Aether’s cheeks might be the loveliest shade.
