Your eyes fought off the tempting lull of sleep that slowly attempted to pull you in. Your fingers working carefully over the keys that sat in front of you, neatly marked with characters of the alphabet. The bright screen that displayed words that seemed too blur together into one big blob of unrecognizable mush. Papers scattered across your desk marked with prices, deadlines, and research you couldn’t even begin to comprehend right now. 

Pressing your fingers to your eyes, you rubbed them with a defeated sigh. A frown sat on your features, and your eyes tempted you to sleep. Looking out the large glass windows; your tired eyes gazed at the bright lights of Osaka. Even within the night, they remained bright and lively. Small droplets of rain fell from the sky, wetting the streets and allowing the lights to reflect off of them. 

Reluctantly, you turned your gaze back to your computer screen. Your fingers got back to work, typing up the last few sentences of a document that was due by midnight. Upon finishing said document, you instantly stood from your chair and gave yourself a long deserved stretch. 

Looking around, you had unsurprisingly been the last one in your office block. This of course meant everybody already turned off the lights and you stood there in the dark, the only light being the soft glow of your computer screen. 

Gathering the papers that were scattered across your desk into a neat pile, you signed out and shut down your computer. Placing your empty coffee cup that’s had plenty of time to dry into your bag, you took out your phone. Checking the battery you mentally thanked yourself for plugging it in this morning as you turned on the flash. 

Walking through the almost dead quiet building made you feel eerily on edge. Not the mention the fact that you’d have to walk home alone in the rain. The only sounds that reached your ears being that of the soft taps of your shoes along the tiles, and the ruffling of your clothing. The soft hum of an air conditioning sounded from somewhere far away down the hall. 

Reaching the front doors of your building, you turned off your flash and put your phone in your bag. Pushing open the glass door and stepping out of the building, you walked to the edge of the overhang. Looking up at the sky you grimaced at the pouring rain. Leaning against one of the pillars you stared at the ground, your mind thinking about how awful a situation you were in. 

“Y’know, if I was a bad guy, you’d be in quite the dreary position right now.” 

Letting out a startled gasp, you whipped around, clutching your bag strap for dear life. Your eyes found a pair of closed ones, that ever familiar smile and ombre-green hair. 

“Sasara!” You yelled. “You can’t just sneak up on me like that!” 

“Ahh, sorry sorry!” He apologized. “Didn’t mean to rain on your parade or anything.” 

You narrowed your eyes with a sigh. “It’s been two seconds and you’ve already got a clever pun for me.” 

“That’s my job as Tragic Comedy No.1!” 

Suddenly, your eyes widened. Remembering the time and the condition of the weather you tilted your head to the side. “Why are you here, anyways?” 

“I was waitin’ for ya, obviously.”

You gazed at him with surprise written all over your face. Taking out your phone again you looked at the time and gave him a concerned look. “Sasara, it’s midnight! You’re crazy staying out this late, and in the rain no less..” 

“That’s a little hypocritical, Y/N.” He responded with a shake of his head. “Anyways, no use thinking about the time, come over here.” 

He grabbed your arm and led you back towards the building. Your eyes catching on a bench that sat against the wall. Two bottles of melon soda, a book, and a serving of food splayed across it. 

“I thought you’d be hungry after working so long, don’t worry I already ate.” He spoke once more. “I was gonna wait for ya, but ya took longer than I expected.” 

Your eyes nearly sparkled with joy. Sitting down at the bench you grabbed the bottle of melon soda that wasn’t open and took a long drink from it. After swallowing it all you let out a sigh of content. 

“Thank you Sasara, really.” You said. 

“Ain’t no big deal, that’s what I’m here for.” He responded in his usually calm tone. “But you really gotta stop working yourself to the bone all the time, you should be having fun instead.”

“I would love to actually be able to do that Sasara.. But I need to pay bills.” You huffed out, your eyes scanning over his figure. 

It was quiet for a mere second before he spoke again. “You should quit.”

You looked at him with surprise. “Quit? I.. I can’t just quit. I don’t have anything to fall back on.” 

“Come be my plus one and we’ll do comedy shows! It’s sure to be quite an egg-cellent time.” He suggested, tapping the tip of his finger on the lid of the food container. 

Raising a brow you looked down at the food, seeing a now cold egg on top of a bed of also cold noodles. You looked at him for a second before shaking your head and smiling. “You know crowds aren’t my thing.”

“And rain isn’t necessarily my forte either.” 

“I know, I know.” You responded. “Seems we both have our reasons then.” 

Feeling the conversation seemingly coming to an end, you looked down at the book once more before picking it up. Opening it to a random page, you read the text. A small smile made its way to your face.

“Y’know Sasara, according to this book it seems like you’re just the way I like my soda.” 

He tilted his head in your direction. 

“Sweet and bubbly.” 

You saw a rare, genuine smile come to his lips. “Oh really now? That’s funny, cause I think you are soda cutest.” 

Your eyes widened as you felt a warm heat come to your cheeks. Covering your face with the book you shook your head. “I can never win when it comes to you.” 

“Aw, tragic really, but you know what they say..” He paused, as you stared at him quizzically. 

“What do they say..?” You asked, not sure if you really wanted to know the answer. 

“Nothing ventured, nothing rained!”

You instantly stood up to hide the smile that was beginning to overtake your features. “I can’t do this anymore.”

Beginning to walk away you felt a pair of arms snake themselves around your waist. Letting out a small laugh you felt a genuine smile slip out from your supposedly annoyed facade. 

“There’s that laugh I love so much.” Sasara spoke. He was so close you could feel his breath fan over your ear. 

“I don’t understand you sometimes.” You smiled. 

His arms released you and instead spun you around to face him. You saw his face get closer to yours before he rested his forehead against yours. “You don’t have to, as long as you’re happy, that’s all I care about.” 

“Hm, if you keep acting like this, maybe I’ll consider becoming your plus one after all.” 

“Really!?” He responded happily, placing his hands on your shoulders and standing up straight. 

You let out a small ‘hm’ noise before playfully pushing his hands off. “Probably not.”

You watched him slouch over in disappointment. 

“I’m kidding, I’m kidding!” You said quickly, a laugh at the tail end of your response. 

He crossed his arms. “Not cool.” 

Smiling, you looked back out at the sky. The rain had come to a stop by now and you could see multiple people coming out of their temporary shelters within shops and restaurants. 

“Look, Sasara, the rain stopped.” You commented. 

He turned his head to gaze at the sky as well. “I’d say this is a good thing because now I can actually get some sleep. But..” 

Upon his untimely pausing you looked over at him with curiosity. “But?”

“...Oh nothing nothing, don’t worry about it!” He responded, reaching over and ruffling your hair. 

Tilting your head, you shrugged, following him over towards the bench to gather your things. Turning back around you fell into step beside him as you both ventured off toward your homes together. 

Perhaps today wasn’t so bad after all..

“Tsunotaro!”

“Let’s go out again today, alright?” 

“I had so much fun, didn’t you Tsunotaro?” 

“See you again soon!” 

These, all normal things you said to the person you knew as ‘Tsunotaro’. Even after spending so much time with the mysterious man, you hadn’t worked out his true identity. Not even batting an eye at the way people recoiled from the both of you when you walked on school grounds or in shopping strips. Sure the horns were something you’d questioned before, but you didn’t know if it was a sensitive topic for him, so you never really asked. 

Moving to the present time, you sat on a dark wooden bench near the fence of the Ramshackle dorm, swinging your feet carelessly. Your gaze directed toward the sky glossing over different shapes of fluffy white clouds. The color of the sky was a vibrant pink mixed with warm undertones of orange and red, creating a rather breathtaking sunset. Your hands resided in your lap, folded in waiting. 

Your eyes suddenly caught on a light green flash from the left side of your peripherals. Turning your head to gaze at the scattering fireflies a small smile made its way onto your lips. There Malleus Draconia stood, his gaze locked on yours, eyes riddled with surprise. 

“You’re early, Y/N.” He remarked, slowly starting to walk over to you. 

You nodded as curiosity filled your senses. “I finally found out how you get here so easily..” 

As Malleus reached the bench his eyes trained on you as he waited for your next move. Would this finally be the moment you realized who he truly was? How much power he really held? But no such moment came as he suddenly heard the footsteps of two others, carried along the wind. 

You, of course, heard nothing yet as you didn’t posses anywhere near the abilities he did. So you still sat in wonder before letting out a long drawn out sigh. “I still can’t figure out who you are, Tsunotaro.” 

The male smiled as his eyes narrowed into a smug expression. He crossed his arms before turning his head towards the beaten path that lead to Ramshackle. In the distance, he could easily recognize two figures from Heartslabyul. 

“Well, I believe those two you spend your time with most are coming over, perhaps you could ask them.” Malleus responded, the wording coming out seemingly as if he was jealous. 

Your head turned towards the path and your gaze directed towards the both of their faces. Ace and Deuce, turned to each other making jokes and laughing. Ace teasing poor Deuce, who was normally always subjected to the playful remarks. Their uniforms worn in the usual fashion, Ace’s seeming to be more undone and disheveled then usual. 

“Hey you two!” You called from your seat on the bench as they began to near closer. 

They turned their attention to where you were seated, Malleus stood directly beside you. Suddenly stopping in their tracks, gazes trained on the man beside you. You tilted your head in confusion before standing up and looking over at Malleus. 

His eyes seemed to be narrowed and giving off a faint glow of green light. He was, quite literally, the text book definition of intimidating. Shaking your head, you reached up waving a hand in front of his face to break his gaze from the two completely stunned males. His eyes loosing the faint flow of iridescent green as he directed his gaze down to you. 

“What’s the matter?” You asked. 

The horned-male simply shook his head as a smirk made its way to his features. “Nothing, nothing at all.” He then slowly reached out and placed a gloved hand on your head, offering a few small pats. “You worry too much.”

You simply shook your head and sported a now bashful smile. Looking down to avoid the males gaze you quickly turned around to go greet your friends instead. Once you’d arrived in front of them, they looked as if they’d just seen a ghost. 

“Are you guys alright..?” You asked slowly, gaze darting back and forth between the two.

“Do.. Do you even know who that is!?” Ace whisper-yelled as he leveled his face with yours to properly look you in the eyes. “You have to be out of your mind!” 

You looked over to Deuce who seemed to be thinking the same thing as he was hurriedly nodding after every word Ace said. You sighed before speaking, “No, I don’t know his real name so I just call him Tsunotaro. Why..? Should I know who he is?” 

Now the both of them looked at you like you had two heads or maybe even three. Ace leaned in closer to you before placing both of his hands on your shoulder blades. “That’s Malleus Draconia.” 

Your eyes widened for a split second before drawing in a breath. You shrugged him off before nodding and placing a hand on your chin. “That actually makes a lot of sense.” 

“How can you be so calm about this!?” Ace responds with an appalled expression. 

“Well he hasn’t hurt me at all yet or even tried to.” You paused as you turned to the side, eyes gazing at the dark-haired male who was now seated on the bench you previously were. “I see no reason to treat him any differently.” 

The two males shook their heads before Ace began to speak again. “I’m assuming Grim is inside, yeah? Well then I’ll let myself in.” 

With no second thought, he walked past you leaving you with Deuce. Deuce looked like he wanted to follow after the red-haired boy, but he turned to you first. “Make sure to let me.. us.. know if he tries anything odd okay?” 

You give Deuce a look before waving your hand in front of your face. “I’ll be fine Deuce, thank you though.” 

He nodded once more before starting after Ace. You turned and watched the two males walk through the gate before slowly closing it behind them. Walking back over to Malleus you let out a rather large sigh before sitting down beside him. 

“I finally figured out who you really are, Tsunotaro.” 

The horned-male beside you tilted his head before letting out a chuckle under his breath. “Yet you still continue to call me by that silly nickname you came up with.” 

“Would you like me to call you by your real name?” You asked after a short moment of silence. “Malleus Draconia.” The name felt odd on your tongue in comparison to Tsunotaro. 

A smirk tugged at his lips before he responded. “You know no fear, child of man. You still continue to speak to me without a care in the world, despite knowing my identity. You’re either oblivious to what I’m truly capable of, or plain foolish.” 

You stifled a laugh at his last comment. “No no, don’t get me wrong it’s surprising that you’re that Malleus Draconia. But I just don’t feel the need to shy away from you simply because I know who you are now.” You shifted around on the bench so you were facing the male slightly. “I guess I’m just saying that I trust you by now.” 

Malleus’s eyes widened at your words, he nearly look perplexed at them even. “Trust me?” 

“Well yeah, if you wanted to do anything I feel like you already would have. Besides, why risk me actually finding out who you really are if you wanted to hurt me.” You responded with a lazy shrug.

“Hm. I suppose you have a point there.” He responded before looking up at the now darkened sky. “But I certainly would’ve thought you would be more apprehensive when around me after finding out.” 

“Again, you being all mighty and powerful doesn’t matter to me.” You said, probably a little too relaxed. “I know you could easily kick my ass in a fight, even without being Malleus Draconia. I have no magic after all. You’ve also helped me a good bit thus far, so thanks for that too.” 

He stared at you in thought for a moment before standing up. “Well I suppose I’ll see you tomorrow then. Maybe we could venture out to the shopping district, I found a rather quaint café out there I believe you’d like.” 

“Are you inviting me out now, Malleus?” You responded, feigning surprise. 

“Consider it my treat for not running away screaming, Y/N.” He responded with a smirk. 

You let a pleased smile lay itself upon your lips before raising your hand to wave goodbye. “I’ll see you tomorrow Tsunotaro!” 

Malleus let out one final chuckle before vanishing in a flurry of green fireflies once more. 

“Yes, tomorrow is sure to hold something wonderful for the two of us.”

Better Ruined ten Times

Genre: Fluff 

“Oh?” He drawled, clearly amused. 

You huffed in exasperation while beads of sweat stuck to your skin. Your hands held the wooden sword directly in front of you with an iron grip, knuckles turning white from the pressure. 

“I’m surprised you’re able to withstand a direct hit like this.” He praised half-heartedly. 

“You underestimate me, Sabito.” You replied with a smirk, putting venom into his very name.

He hummed before pushing forward, harder onto the blade, making your eyes widen. In a split second you felt your feet get knocked out from beneath you, resulting in you loosing balance and falling backwards. You landed on the ground in a hard thump, dropping your sword beside you. 

You felt a point lightly press into your chest as your eyes averted upwards. “You’re getting too cocky again.” He spoke placidly. 

Your eyes narrowed as you scanned over his mask with wavering determination. Your bones aching as you let out an annoyed groan. “Do we have to keep doing this?” 

“Do you want to be knocked off your feet mid-battle?” He asked matter of factly, although more a statement. “Better ruined ten times than once dead.”

You tilted your head to the side, trying to think up his current expression. You could picture his pale lavender cat-like eyes narrowed slightly, a neutral expression on his face. 

The blade pressed a little harder against your chest, once again reminding you of your current position. You brought your hand up and lightly pushed it away before getting to your feet once more. 

“Fine, fine.. whatever you say, dad.” You taunted with a smirk.

He tilted his head to the side before quickly and rather roughly delivering a flick to your forehead. Letting out a yelp and a small string of curses you placed both hands over the newly inflicted pain in your head. 

“You never learn, do you Y/N?” He let out a small chuckle, placing his hand on your head and ruffling your hair. 

“Sabittooo!” You whined, trying to fix your now frazzled hair. 

“I know you love me.” He teased before turning away from you. 

You peered at him from the corner of your eye, contemplating your next move. You swiftly jumped up from your spot, wrapping your arms around Sabito’s neck causing him to let out a surprised grunt. 

“Wh- Y/N!”

Tackling him to the ground you sat proudly on his back, grinning wildly. Shaking your head, you reached down and softly moved the red strap of Sabito’s mask. Hesitating for a second and looking at the eyes of the mask as if for consent. 

“Why do you still hesitate?” He asked in a voice not above a mere whisper. 

You huff. “Because I respect you and your wishes.” 

You hear him chuckle. “This position isn’t a very good example of your respect for me.”

Slipping off his back and sitting on your knees beside him, you watched him push himself into a sitting position. He crossed his legs, reaching his hands up to mettle with his mask for a moment. Then, it dropped to his neck in a stolid motion, nestled against the crook of his neck. 

You scanned his pale eyes with newfound admiration before speaking. “I love you so much better without that thing.”

“So you’ve said before.” He replied, reaching his hands behind his neck. 

You watched him with content and curiosity flashing on your features. The mask suddenly fell into his lap as his hands returned to your view. Reaching out, you lightly took the mask, turning it over in your hands.  You looked to him once more before raising the mask to your neck, attempting to tie the red strings in a knot behind you.  

Closing your eyes in concentration you fumbled with the strings, letting out a grunt of frustration. You then felt two soft hands set themselves upon yours, instantly causing your eyes to shoot open once more. 

Your gaze traveled up to the boy in front of you. He’d now been kneeling on his knees, his arms finding themselves closely around your head as he took the strings from you. His chest mere centimeters from your face, causing your cheeks to flush. 

“Just because I’m tying this, doesn’t mean I can’t see how embarrassed this is making you, you know.” Sabito spoke in a teasing manner. 

“I’m not embarrassed!” You replied hastily, crossing your arms in front of you, allowing him to finalize the knot. 

He leaned back as he adjusted his mask on you so that it sat at the side of your head; much like Makomo’s. Feeling happy with his work, he returned to his former position and studied you with his alluring eyes. 

“You look cute with my mask.” He commented nonchalantly. 

You smirked. “You should just give it to me then.” 

“Sorry, but that isn’t happening.” 

You let out an annoyed groan as you stood up, fixing your now disorderly clothing. You heard Sabito stand up beside you as well, the clanking of his wooden sword as he picked it up reached your ears. 

“Also, don’t think I haven’t forgot our training.” He spoke once more. 

“Oh yeah? Well..” You smirked, facing him as you slowly backed away. “You’ll have to catch me first!” 

He shook his head and chuckled. “You really shouldn’t give out such easy challenges.” 

He then took off after you with a content laugh. The both of you running in circles, hiding behind trees, and jumping over rocks having the times of your lives. If only moments like these could last forever..

Electrifying Awakening

Word Count: 1053.

Genre: I honestly wouldn’t really consider this angst, more thriller I guess. But yes, angst.

“Oh stop running, you’re always so dramatic!” You heard his voice yell through the trees, followed by a shrill maniac laugh. 

Your shoes splattered with mud and dirt due to the pouring rain. Arms littered with cuts from the pointed vines you’d pushed through in an attempt to escape the sixth harbinger. Your heartbeat was pounding so hard you could feel it pulsing in your head. Adrenaline rushed through your body as you jumped over fallen branches and pushed through the dense forest. 

Your hand found its way to your eyes as you vigorously rubbed them, attempting to rid your corneas of the crystal rain water and tears that blurred your vision. The pounding of the soles of your shoes slamming against the ground was the only thing you could listen to in your escape. 

As your glossy eyes darted up towards the dark purple sky you saw bolts of bright purple lightening dart through the clouds. Rain poured into your orbs as you shielded your face with one of your hands. 

Suddenly, you felt yourself tripping forward as you were met with a hard thwack to the face. However, due to the adrenaline still coursing through you, you felt nothing at all. Using your trembling hands your pushed yourself up and quickly sat behind the base of a large tree. 

Pushing your head back against the bark, you covered your mouth with both hands as you clenched your eyes shut. 

You could hear the soft steps of the harbinger nearing closer as you shivered all over in pure fear and anxiety. 

“Oh? Where have you gone now?” He called, smirk apparent in his voice. 

The sound of a quiet buzz filled your senses as you opened your eyes, scared to look anywhere but in front of you. A blur in your vision occurred and within the next second the tree in front of you had been charred black, causing you to jump and let out a small yelp. Pushing your knees further against your chest you tried to calm your beating heart. 

Your lungs, going into overdrive as you heaved in small portions of air only to release them seconds later. You could feel a sharp pain in your chest every time you did so. But, you couldn’t find it in yourself to care, after all facing the wrath of Scaramouche would be ten times worse.

You could invision yourself being strapped to a wooden chair as the harbinger stood in front of you, his glare making you feel small and insignificant. His hands on either side of your head as electricity threatened to pulse through his hands every time you said something he didn’t like. Thinking he would be anymore lenient with you simply because you worked as part of his leagues was a foolish choice.

In fact, the more you came to know Scaramouche and got to know him, the rougher he’d been with the shock treatments. This type of treatment had been used to drive rules and standards into all members of the Fatui that had been a lower class than Harbinger. The sixth harbinger had been the one to lead all of sessions, of course, since he was just the right amount of sadistically insane to do so. 

You felt your heartbeat came to a halt as your eyes lingered on the sight of the charred and burned tree, now spilt in half and fallen to the side. The rain pelted your skin, your breath halting in your throat.  

All footsteps had ceased and your anxiety suddenly spiked. He knew where you were. He had to have known. He was going to kill you with how much rage he’d built up. 

“Oh well, seems like I made a mistake, but I’ll find you eventually.” Came his voice, mere feet away from your current hiding spot. 

Upon hearing his footsteps pick up again, you let out a quick sigh your eyes fluttering closed one again. 

After a few moments you quietly stood up as you looked to your right, making sure he wasn’t there. Taking a step forward you were instantly pulled back, slammed into the tree as your eyes darted to the left. There he stood, the sixth harbinger, his hand roughly gripping your forearm as you felt a sting run through your body. 

You let out a scream as you attempted to thrash out of his grip, but he wasn’t having any of it. He’d brought up his other hand as a harsh slap across your face was delivered, small volts of electricity stinging your skin. 

“You really thought you could get away from me.” He laughed out as he took hold of your other arm, slamming you into the tree again. “You are a fool.”

“Let go of me Scaramouche!” You yelled, resuming your attempts to break free of his iron grip. 

He let a sadistic chuckle as his eyes locked with yours, their purple hues almost glowing in the dim light of the forest. Two unbearably painful bolts of electricity jolted through your body causing you to cease your attempt to escape and let out a helpless scream. 

You felt him remove one of his hands as it was placed beneath your jaw. He tilted your face towards his as he gave you a terrifying smile, “It would seem you need to be disciplined again.” 

--

You jolted up, placing your hands over your beating heart, and looked around the room. You were in your bed, the plush covers lightly brushing against your legs. 

“It was.. It was just a dream.” You spoke quietly. 

Eyes quickly darting to the side you caught sight of the peaceful image that was Scaramouche, asleep of course. One of the only times you’ll ever get to see the sixth harbinger seemingly as at peace as he was right now. 

Lowering your hands, you let out a sigh as you shook your head. Returning to your previous position you pulled the covers back up over your chest. Staring at the ceiling you felt your eyes grow heavy once more. For some reason, you ignored the rather subtle pain in your arms and closed your eyes. 

However, what you hadn’t been able to see in the dim light of the room, was the large and terrifying smile that was splayed on Scaramouche’s lips.

I HAVE ANOTHER REQUEST FOR U

OH? WELL GO AHEAD!

Modern day Cliche

Word Count: 2194.

Genre: Fluff.

(Note! There is a part of the story that is texting back and forth, so when you see the characters name bolded with italicized text beneath it, it’s the contact name and their message!)

(Not Proof Read, if There’s Mistakes, let me Know!)

Your phone vibrated violently in your back pocket as you carried your sleek laptop towards your next destination. Quickly setting down the device on the table in the quiet library you took out your phone. Upon clicking it on, you saw an array of text messages all from your classes group chat. 

Letting out a sigh you opened the messages and read through them. Although, you didn’t really have to since you could have easily guessed that they were all about the big event coming up. It was just about Halloween and there was going to be a horror attraction not to far from the school. To your knowledge everyone was attending. 

Bringing down the settings bar you silenced the chat and turned off your phone before setting it on the table. Sitting down on the hard wooden chair you scanned the library. Your e/c orbs scanning over shelves of books and hanging decorations. Opening your computer you clicked on the site you had been using to write your chemistry paper on and skimmed over it. 

The words seemed to blur together as they never reached your mind. The sound of something being set down, broke your trance as you looked up. Your eyes locking with a pair of bright captivating teal colored eyes. The light from their hanging sources made his eyes seem to sparkle in curiosity. His soft, light ash blonde, hair cascading down just below his shoulders. The tips slightly curly and free looking. The golden marking on the center of his neck just barely peaking out over the hem of his black turtleneck. 

You must’ve been staring because when you snapped out of your alluring trance, he had already sat down and was opening his laptop. Shaking your head you looked back at your screen, you could feel a slight tinge of heat decorate your cheeks. 

Clearing your throat you decided to speak first. “So Albedo, how has your day been so far?” 

He instantly stopped scrolling as he turned and gave you his full attention. “My day has been rather productive. How about yours?” 

“Well that’s good, my day has been alright.” You responded quickly, glancing back at your computer screen. 

“Splendid. Now, I would like to go over this paper with you once more, as it is our last day together.” 

You felt your heart rate quicken as you gave him a nod. You always managed to take everything he said to you in the wrong way, or so you thought. Reading over the paper again for what feels like the hundredth time, you let out a sigh. After navigating your way back through some of the other websites you’d passed through, you hovered over the enticing submit button. 

You knew you needed to turn in this project, but didn’t want your time with Albedo to end so quickly. That’s when a cord in your mind had been strung. 

“Ah, hey Albedo!” You said, more urgently than it needed to be causing him to quickly looked over at you. “Are you going to the new horror attraction down the road tonight?” 

He simply looked at you, his head tilting to the side a little. “I don’t believe I am.” 

“Well if it’s not too much to ask, would you maybe want to come along with me?” You asked, a small tinge of hopefulness in your voice. 

Albedo looked to the side with an expression you couldn’t quite make out. It felt like an eternity had passed before he finally responded. “Sure.” 

You put your hands up to defend yourself from the rejection, but instantly stopped in your tracks. You felt your breath get caught up in your throat as you stared at him with wide eyes. He gave you a small awkward smile as he adjusted his plaid jacket nervously. 

You nearly jumped out of the seat as your arms shot up in the air with happiness. “Yes!” 

Upon hearing a smooth chuckle come from the blonde, you felt your cheeks heat up in embarrassment. Turning your attention back to your computer, you happily hit the submit button and bid a reluctant farewell to Albedo. 

( Small Little Time Skip )

Searching for your usual table during your lunch period, you took a seat, setting your backpack down in the seat beside you. Usually, you ate lunch alone since it was deemed too much work to attempt to find anybody you knew. Turning to your lunch tray you were about to take a bite when your phone buzzed. Reaching into your pocket you set down your utensil and checked the notification. 

“A text from Albedo!?” You whisper yelled, praying that nobody around heard you over the loud chatter of the lunchroom. 

Opening up the message you read over it before your jaw nearly dropped. 

Albedo

I never knew you sat alone at lunch. 

Your head quickly jolted up to look around, but your eyes never landed on him. Looking back down at your phone you quickly texted back. 

 Y/N

Where even are you..?

Albedo

No need to worry about that. 

Although, it was rather funny seeing you attempting to find me.

Y/N

Oh come onnn, just tell me!

Albedo

Not happening. But, I do need something from you.

Your mind began to run wild at the possibilities of his question. What could he possibly need from you? 

Albedo

I need your address so I can pick you up later tonight.

That’s it. This man HAD to be the perfect match for you. He was kind, polite, smart, quiet, and had so many more admirable qualities. You felt your grip tighten on your phone as your face heated up in a flurry of adoration. 

Y/N

Oh alright, my address is (Your address.) 

Albedo 

Thank you, I’ll be seeing you later tonight. 

You released a happy sigh as you clicked off your phone, placing it in your pocket. Picking up your utensil you began eating quicker than you ever did before. The pure bliss of being able to spend the night with your, extremely attractive and alluring, crush in a haunted attraction. Lunch went by in a flash and you were on your way to your final classes of the day, a noticeable smile adorning your lips. 

( Second Small Time Skip)

You sat on your bedside, swaying from side to side as you played the song you had recently become obsessed with. Every few seconds you’d check your phone, eager to see if you’d received a message from Albedo. The feeling of anticipation in which you felt was almost painful. 

Of course, you had occasional thoughts of him possibly standing you up. But those were quickly extinguished by the fact that you believed his moral sense wouldn’t let him. While he was a rather introverted person who cared deeply for his studies, you knew he also had a deep abiding moral sense. 

Standing up from your bed, you grabbed your phone as you clicked it off and placed it in your pocket. Leaving your room you walked downstairs. 

“Where are you off to?” Your mother asked as she saw you make your way down the stairs. 

You gave her a quick glance and a smile. “Going to the new horror attraction with a.. friend.” 

She raised an eyebrow. “Right.. Well, have fun, and be safe!” 

“Will do.” You replied, putting your shoes on. 

Unlocking the door, you pushed it open and took in a breath of the chilling outside air. Shutting the door and walking down towards the roadside, you took a seat on the sidewalk. Taking out your phone you clicked it on and scrolled through your social media while you waited for the man of the hour to show himself. 

After a few minutes of cars passing you by on the road, one finally stopped in front of you. Looking up, you saw the familiar sight of Albedo getting out of his car and walking around to you. He opened the door and motioned for you to get in. 

“How gentlemanly of you.” You commented with a light snicker. 

“Of course, my lady.” He replied with a chuckle. 

That nickname alone was enough to send you into yet another fit of blushing. At this point you were almost concerned if you were really blushing or just running a fever. 

After he’d shut the door for you, he got back into his own seat on the opposite side of the car. Putting on your seatbelt you set your phone in your lap as you side eyed him. You suddenly felt extremely nervous and jittery. 

“You look nice.” Albedo commented, taking a turn. 

“Ah, thank you.. You do as well!” You returned his compliment with a smile. 

Facing forward, the car fell into a comfortable silence. Silence was something you’d grown accustomed to when you were around Albedo. That is, unless you get him on a tangent about something he enjoys, which you happily listen to. His voice is quite soothing, and you can’t help but wonder what his morning voice would sound like. 

About halfway through the drive you began to see some students that you knew walking down the sides of the street. You assumed they were heading to the same place as you. 

“Seems like a lot of people are going to this attraction tonight.” Albedo remarked, you swear a tinge of sadness dripped from his smooth tone. 

“Well, the entire school has been talking about it.” You replied, “My advisory period’s group chat is constantly buzzing with messages about this, so I expected a lot of people to go.”

You saw Albedo nod from the corner of your eye as he continued driving. The closer you got to your destination, the more nervous you became. You, for one, hated haunted houses and horror attractions. You got scared of them extremely easy, even though you knew they were just actors. 

Not even minutes later, Albedo was pulling into the parking lot across the street. Once the car was in park he glanced over at you, offering a smile. 

“Are you alright? You seem a little nervous.” 

You looked over at him as you squeezed your hand around your phone. “Oh, no, I’m perfectly fine. Excited if anything!” 

He slowly nodded at you before getting out of the car, you doing the same. As soon as your shoes hit the gravel you could hear screams coming from across the road. Shivering, you walked around the car and met up with Albedo. 

“Ready to go?” You asked. 

“If you are, it’d be my pleasure to come along.” He replied formally. 

You let out a laugh at his response before turning around and walking towards the attraction. Reaching into your back pocket, you pulled out 40$. You then felt a hand touch against yours. Albedo’s fingers brushing against yours as he placed his hand on yours. 

“Don’t worry about paying, I’ve got it covered.” He spoke.

You felt your face heating up. “No way, I asked you to come here so I should pay.” 

“What if we split the cost?” He paused. “I’ll pay for your’s, you can pay for mine.” 

You looked into his eyes as he stared back, his bright blue and alluring irises pulling you in. 

“Fine. But next time we go out, I’m paying.” You said. 

“Next time, huh.” He chuckled. 

You paused, a momentary slip of the tongue turning into a lifetime of embarrassment. Bringing your hands up in front of you, you waved them back and forth. 

“I just meant that if you liked it this time, then maybe we could go out somewhere else again!” You quickly attempted to defend yourself. 

You heard Albedo laugh a smooth and genuine laugh, the sound like music to your ears. Lowering your hands you clenched them into fists in pure embarrassment. 

Stepping into the decently sized line your eyes lingered on the stray actors wandering around near everyone. Occasionally they’d pop up behind someone or chase them towards another actor. You placed your hands on your arms and hugged yourself, your heart rate increasing. 

“Are you sure you’re alright?” Albedo asked. 

Now that you were both standing in the line, you felt compelled to come clean. Turning to him you looked down towards the ground and explained your antics. 

“To tell the truth, I’m extremely afraid of things like this. I just wanted and excuse to prolong our time together..” You spilled. 

A momentary silence between the two of you occurred. You felt as if the world had just stopped turning and time stood still. 

“I knew that.” Albedo placed a hand on your shoulder. “I just needed to hear you say it.” 

Your eyes darted up to his, your irises widening in surprise. “You knew?” 

“Of course I did, that’s why I agreed. I didn’t want our time together to end either, even though I have little to no interest in things like these.” He said nonchalantly. 

Now you felt extremely embarrassed. But the way Albedo was rubbing your shoulder brought you unimaginable comfort, and also a hint of courage. 

“Well, instead of going home.. How about we brave this thing together then?” Albedo offered. 

“Sure, I’d like that.”

Stranger Things season four volume two was a rollercoaster.

!! SPOILER FOR EPISODE NINE BELOW THE CUT !!

Justice for Eddie Munson. :(

Genuinely so upsetting how he died with everyone thinking he was a murderer, when in reality he sacrificed himself for everyone. 

Why do you do this to us Duffer Brothers...

AND HIM TALKING WITH DUSTIN MADE IT TEN TIMES WORSE! Feel bad that Dustin lost someone he looked up to. :(
