All Albedo wanters shall become Albedo Havers!
Edit: I have just found out that the template I found was a blank version of this one.
it’s 4 am and i have class later 😔
he doesn’t work at the library but likes to sit there and bask in the peace from time to time. the rowdiness of the group he found himself accepted into was a nice change from his previous social life but even he needed a break. but you don’t know this. he’s just a mysterious fellow who peaks your interest.
sometimes you can catch him sitting near certain aisles nearby looking at books that were either, on purpose or not, on the top shelf or in a tall pile next to him. he jumps to get a few of them until the librarian came by to offer him a small ladder because, despite him being pretty quiet on his feet, she couldn’t ignore the rustle of clothes or view him moving about.
sometimes this woman comes in to ask him about something, her tall stature making him look smaller than he actually is but her presence is more inviting than intimidating with the proud look on her face. he smiles sometimes when they talk but she leaves him to his devices in the quiet sanctum.
one day he sits at the very edge of your table. you look around to see other empty ones to which he could have more space but he doesn’t seem to have made a mistake of choosing this spot. he makes quick work of laying out his books for the day, poetry and history this time though you don’t know exactly from who or when, and looks up to meet your gaze. you feel embarrassed to have been caught staring at him but he only gives you a kind smile in return.
the days go on like that.
—
but you don’t know him. not yet at least.
he doesn’t know you, but he’s seen you before. in between classes amidst the passionate faces of your friends as they engage in a seemingly heated debate about miniscule things, your own is clear cut. more mellow than those about but equally interested all the same. but you come to this place on your own most times to study or simply relax.
sometimes he finds you in some aisles going through extra textbooks or practice books for your subjects with a permanent look of annoyance on your features. your eyes scan for minutes on end for that one cover because who wants to pay for things only to be used once that you’ll forget about after exams? you certainly don’t. but then again, it would be too good to be true to find it in the library.
sometimes a friend comes in excitedly to talk to you. you indulge his, he knew the name of this certain twin-braid student, poorly whispered words before he’s dragged out by the quiet one you are also friendly with and they disappear to leave you at peace. he sees the fond look you gives after them and a shake of your head at his antics before continuing your quiet time.
one day he finds you sitting alone and a sudden urge to take the corner seat of your table calls to him. call it a sign or whatever his books tell him and he takes the opportunity. he can’t necessarily look at you right away so he hides his eagerness and sets out his books. when he gives and looks up he’s seeing your surprised face all he can do is smile.
—
you think he’s charming as he studies. he doesn’t wear any sort of glasses or anything but he does keep a pencil either rested on top of his ear or in his hand tapping against his lip as he concentrates.
but you try to stop yourself from staring. it’s rude and downright creepy and you don’t want to be dubbed as that type of person to a cute guy.
cute? yes, he was cute.
—
he thought the same about you. cute. that’s why he takes the leap and flicks a paper over to your side of the table, folded up as neatly as he could with words written inside.
Now a peaceful time
Quiet and stagnant are we
Finally to rest
you raise an eyebrow in response and mouth back, “a haiku?” he nods at your quick discerning and asks: “how is it?” with your given location and how neither of you are even going above a light whisper, you mirror his nod.
“fitting.”
and your interactions stay just like that for a while. you show up at the library at the same time and take a seat at the same table. sometimes he passes little papers to you with more haikus, usually capturing the feeling you both are kept in while in quiet. sometimes they’re for jokes to untense your shoulders after hours of reading.
this is how you get to know him but you want to return the favor. so you make some of your own and the look of surprise on his face when he receives a flicked paper is priceless. he’s happy about it, too.
now, you could say that you talk outside of the library and get to know each other there. but the mystery and comfort in doing as you do now is what you both stick with. and there isn’t a problem about it.
days turn into weeks and weeks into months until the bright sun and heat from the outside morphs into falling snow and chilly wind. you know each other enough to be just past acquaintances but not enough to be really called, friends? you weren’t sure.
but he still flicks a paper towards you and instinctively you open it.
This moment is safe
Peering eyes do so wander
There maybe a chance
it may be that you’re so used to his writing but the message in this one feels a little different than the others.
—
he can see your confusion and he stiffens. was it too obvious? this was supposed to be the build-up upon the countless messages he’s shown you and now he’s doubting himself.
getting to know you this way was fun and frankly very relaxing. quiet, limited talking, and basking in each other’s presence really solidified what he was feeling. truly. but he’s about to say “jk” until you smile. it’s a nice view.
so he basks in it.
—
was it something you did? or said? sorry, wrote?
he doesn’t flick anymore papers to you and it could be because finals are slowly approaching and the books on his side are less about shakespeare and more about the fundamentals of calculus. he hates math, you know this from the papers he.
you realize now that you’ve never sent him one first and now might be a good time to do so but how? sure you’ve sent him haikus but they were, per say, not very good. well, it did take you ten minutes to realize what exactly syllables were until you knew what it was the whole time but couldn’t remember what it was called.
so you just stay still and write nothing. for now, you think back on his last message.
—
two days. was two days enough to let you process that?
kazuha looks to the side from time to time to see what you’re doing as he fiddles with a paper he’s been meaning to send to you. you look up in feelings someone’s gaze on you, don’t know it’s really just a feeling, and catch him staring. an endearing flush comes about your face and he flicks the paper.
—
you open it and your heart drops. a feeling in your chest you weren’t aware of is crumbling apart.
“there’s this person i like and i was wondering if you think they’d like this”
underneath is another haiku.
Soft lights from outside
Gathering in your presence
A beautiful view
your response is you desperately hiding your feelings. and you nod with a soft smile. he untenses and closes his eyes, grinning.
damn it. you really like him.
—
the next day you leave at the same time which is weird. mostly because despite knowing each other for months on the exchange of paper, you never leave the library together. usually one of your friends comes to sweep you away and he stays an extra hour or two or vice versa. heck, you don’t even show up at the same hour. you just kind of find each other not knowing when the other arrived or if they had always been there.
now it’s awkward because you’re standing close to one another and can talk without the scolding of being loud, not that you ever were inside.
he heaves a sigh and digs into his pocket to pull out a pen and small paper. you give a look of confusion but allow him to finish. you really wanted to say something.
but the final note is here and with no table to slide it over to you he comes up with a last minute plan. reach over to you, he lightly flicks your forehead.
you jump and stare at him with wide eyes as he presents you with a neatly folded note in his hand for you to take.
unfolding it gingerly, you read:
Seeing you outside
A better view than before
Now it is all clear
it takes a while to put two and two together but he does it for you.
“so you never answered my question a few days ago,” his voice is calm and smooth, “did you like that haiku?”
This is somewhat of a sequel to Waiting, but it doesn't have to be read first.
The familiar chatter of Liyue Harbour. The midday sun relentlessly shining down on the people. The boats sailing to and from the port.
Yet the one you were looking for was not there.
Pacing the wooden docks, your worries slowly grew.
He said he would be here last week… You thought to yourself. What is something bad happened along the way?! Maybe they got caught up in a storm… or maybe some bad pirates attacked them?
You jumped as you felt a tap on your shoulder. You quickly spun around hoping that it was him… but it was just someone asking if you were okay. The look of disappointment must have been evident on your face as they chuckled,
“Waiting for someone?”
“Oh, s-sorry. Yes, I am.”
“Well, I hope they come soon. I’ll see you around!”
“Y-yes, you too.”
They waved goodbye to you. You sighed, resuming your lookout for The Crux.

It had been quite a few hours since you left the port, and you were almost ready to go home. After you had turned in your commissions, you decided to go to the small mountain east of Liyue Harbour for a while.
You could see the faint moon beginning to rise from where you sat, past sunset, but not quite night just yet. The wind blew through your hair, and the grass rustled beneath you. You leaned your back onto the ground and closed your eyes. You lay there for a few minutes until worries began to creep into your mind.
Where is he? You thought anxiously. Maybe… he’s just avoiding me. Maybe he just doesn’t want to see me. Yeah, that’s probably it. I should go home now, it’s getting late.
You brought your head up, only for it to collide into something hard. You winced at the sudden pain. Ow, You thought, bringing your hands up to your head. Just what were they doing?
The other person laughed, “Well, I didn’t expect that.”
Wait.
That voice…
Kazuha!?
“Wha…”, You gasped, “Kazuha!”
“Yeah, I’m back- hey! What are yo-?!”
His words got abruptly cut off you tackling him into a hug.
“I missed you! Where have you been!” You spilled out suddenly.
He chuckled and hugged you back, “Sorry, there was bad weather, so we couldn’t head out to sea. I’m sorry if I made you worry.”
You sighed, “It’s fine. Just don’t do that again. You promised you would come back soon, remember?”
“Well, I didn’t exactly promise, did I?”
You merely hummed, your hold on him tighter than before. It was just a slip of the tongue, but…
“I love you, Kazuha.”
His mouth was open, his gave fixed on you with wide eyes. Then his face relaxed and he brought you closer to him. He smiled gently, and whispered,
“I love you too.”
And there, you found love in each other's arms, underneath the moonlight.
