I guess this explains why I haven’t been active lately.

Started playing cookie run. Got obsessed with these two. Boom, drawing.

[sshiostwordblog]

HEY! so um do you ever just sit there and get hit with terrible thoughts about being held while fingers wiggle lightly up your sides, poking and prodding right beneath your arms where the skin is soft and jumpy? All the while you just get smothered with kisses and all you can do is hide your face in your hands and muffle your giggles to avoid looking at a certain grinning person who is responsible for the chaos?

Do you ever think about that? because I don't. I'm so cool and awesome and I DON'T think about such awful things that are just terrible and uh yeahahhhahh disgusting eugh who would like that

Violently Sobs please let this count I am so tired LOL

[sshiostwordblog]

I SCREAMED

cynonari nation how yall doing

[sshiostwordblog]

Second post ranting like an idiot about tkls and it's LONGGG, my apologies. I talk about a bunch of things 💔💔💔 (might delete later I'm so sorry y'all I just can't do it today like genuinely)

It's just... scenarios.

They're plaguing my thoughts. Both lee thoughts and ler thoughts. Switch pain.

Feathersoft tickles along sides or back while your eyes have just recently fluttered open in the morning, the whole thing turning into a gigglefest snuggle session.

Shielding your face with a pillow to hide the stupid, dumb, idiotic smile plastered on your face before SOMEONE ELSE (cough cough not gonna say who I'm thinking of, you know who you are) tickles the shyness out of you and scribbles over your ribs or softly claws or traces around your sides so gently.

Watching a movie together while that certain someone lays their head down on your lap and you play with their hair so lovingly, only to sneak your hand under their shirt and flutter your fingers around their side lightly, maybe moving up to their neck and ears to watch them scrunch up while giggling.

Hearing someone say something offensive and/or out of pocket while you're tickling them to throw you off, only to laugh like a maniac at your reaction (very specific yes, hehehehuhuh..)

The biggest scenario (cough cough real life setting) that's in my head is.. a classic one I've seen in fanfics.

Just the other person going through your blog and finding your posts and reading them, only to call you out on it later and follow-up with everything they saw in your blog. Quoting stuff like "Oh, you said in ____ post that playful cooing gets you." "Oh, you mentioned you were in the mood for it here."

Or not even calling you out on it.

Just casually leaving a like is enough. Quietly. A way to say "I saw it. I know. I'm smug about it." And all you can do is silently die in the inside and stare at the wall pondering on your life decisions (And hypothetically if you lived together, brace yourself because they might just do exactly what they've read).

That last one I'm thinking about the most, my friend isn't in the community and yet finds absolute joy in checking MY STUFF that I WRITE about HER (Lu-lu I'm watching you and you know damn well this shit is about you) because she's an idiot and has my blog and I gotta kill myself

All I can do is pretend I'm normal and move on I can't do this

[sshiostwordblog]

Being an absolute sap right now and thinking about having a certain someone dozing off on bed half asleep while I trail my fingers lazily along their side, hearing muffled little sleepy giggles or or softly wiggling fingers at their waist when they're distracted or sneaking up kisses at their neck or ummumjummnjbb

[sshiostwordblog]

WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE TICKLISH PALMS. WHAT I SAID. WHAT I SAID.

What lies beneath

They don't rerun Albedo because they're afraid of what I'll do if I get him

So like I wrote the first half of this fic ages ago, and wrote the 2nd half now. So if writing is inconsistent that's why

BRO BUT LIKE THE NEW ARCHON QUEST HAS ME SO FUCKED I WANNA WRITE A GAZILLION ALBEDO FICS NOW

I will continue to spread the word of KazuBedo. I can't wait for them to meet and kiss in game

Hope y'all enjoy<3

Albedo x Kazuha (romantic)

Lee: Albedo

Ler: Kazuha

Warnings: Tickles! Ending kinda suggestive lol

______________________________________________________________

The satisfying sound of pen scratching against paper resounded in the cave as Albedo worked on his final report of the day. Despite his concentration on the task at hand, he could still feel the way that ruby colored eyes practically bore a hole into him. He found himself holding back a chuckle. As composed as Kazuha could be, he could get a bit antsy when he wanted attention and didn’t get it. Not that Albedo didn’t want to indulge him, but he really needed to finish this report. 

Kazuha’s gaze traced over all of Albedo’s features, examining him as if he were a work of art himself. He noticed the slight furrow to his brow, the way he’d bite down on his lip in concentration. So cute, very Albedo-esque. His eyes travelled further down to the alchemist’s gloved hands, watching the way those fingers elegantly maneuvered the pen. He couldn’t help himself, his sense of control out the window as he reached for Albedo’s free hand. 

As expected, the alchemist didn’t react, continuing to work on the report with his other hand. It annoyed the samurai a bit, the way his lover could remain so collected and composed while he’s over here falling apart at the mere sight of him. 

He slowly slid off Albedo’s glove, marvelling at the bare skin that was usually so well hidden. His own calloused fingers traced over the blonde’s soft skin. He’d occasionally glance over at Albedo, hoping for any sort of reaction. While his face remained as impassive as ever, Kazuha didn’t miss the faint twitch of his hand when his fingers found their way towards his palm. 

A smile tugged at the samurai’s lips as he carefully turned his partner’s hand over so that his palm faced up. He brought it up to his face, placing a delicate kiss over the sensitive skin. Kazuha’s smile grew at the soft gasp that escaped his lover.

The writing had come to a stop, pen having been discarded to the side. Albedo’s mouth opened and closed, words getting stuck at the tip of his tongue as he tried to come up with some excuse for that undignified noise. His overthinking was momentarily halted when he heard the sound of the samurai’s laugh. Was he laughing at him? Still, Kazuha’s laughter felt like a clear breeze, dragging away any unwanted thoughts with it. 

“I didn’t know you were sensitive here” the samurai’s smile turned teasing, almost victorious, having finally caught the attention of his partner

The way Kazuha spoke, and that twinkle of something in those scarlet eyes was enough to make goosebumps rise across the alchemist’s skin. Albedo took a deep breath, trying to keep a semblance of composure “You caught me off guard, dear”.

Kazuha could’ve melted right there and then. Being referred to in such an endearing way by his Albedo always turned his insides to mush. Still, he couldn’t afford such distractions right now. He was a man on a mission. “Is that so? So, you won’t react if I do this?~” 

Tingles shot all the way up through Albedo’s arm as he felt short nails tracing over the lines of his palm, reaching down to the inside of his wrist, playing with his fingers, it all felt so… ticklish? To think he’d be ticklish there of all places, how embarrassing. Even so, the alchemist in him couldn’t help but be curious of what other reactions Kazuha could pull out of him. 

His body suddenly froze when Kazuha placed delicate kisses over each finger. For some reason, that made his senses feel all the more heightened. He could only stare in awe as Kazuha kissed down his palm, causing his head to start to grow fuzzy. Though, nothing could’ve prepared him for what came next. 

“Ah- What are you dohoing..?!” Albedo quickly brought his still gloved hand up to cover his mouth. To think that Kazuha would have the audacity to do something so silly as to bite him, more like nibble, and yet the ticklish sensation it caused was maddening. 

Kazuha looked up, mischievous red eyes meeting flustered teal ones. No words were exchanged, not like there needed to be any, the samurai’s look conveyed more than enough. 

“Cute~” was all that Kazuha eventually said. Before Albedo could retort, his words got interrupted with a squeal when the samurai dared to blow a raspberry right at the center of his palm. 

“KazuHAha-!” his body acted on its own, yanking his hand away from Kazuha’s grip. Even though the teasing had stopped, Albedo could still clearly feel the tingles. It made it harder and harder to keep a level head. 

“Well, I suppose I had enough fun for now” Kazuha abruptly stood up, making Albedo feel even more dumbfounded. How does he just go back to being all nonchalant after all that?! Why couldn’t he stop thinking of what just happened…

“I’ll leave you to finish your report” the samurai had an innocent smile, though it was anything but. He could practically see as Albedo fought with himself, he could ignore whatever the heck just happened and brute force his way through this report, or…

“I’ll go with you-” Albedo spat out quickly, embarrassment rising once again at his eagerness to indulge in Kazuha’s antics. 

The samurai beamed “I was hoping you’d say that”. Kazuha reached his hand out for Albedo to grab. Once their fingers were intertwined, he guided him over to a more secluded spot. 

“I can’t believe you did all that just to get me to stop working” the alchemist mused out loud, unable to hide a fond chuckle at how mischievous Kazuha could be at times.

“Oh, ‘Bedo…” the samurai stopped for a moment, leaning in to whisper against his partner’s ear. “By the time I’m done with you, you won’t even remember your name~”.

Kazuha smiled all sweetly while Albedo’s face turned all shades of red and pink, being able to rival the beauty of the sunset. It was safe to say that Albedo wasn’t going to be thinking of work anytime soon.

Alright so I doodled this small lee Albedo like two months ago but I didn’t like how my drawings look on procreate lalallal

Decided to post it anyways because why not,,,

[sshiostwordblog]

Kiwi.

Is this a fucking SpongeBob reference.

Hellooooo Kiwi

Firstly I would like to say I love your recent fics and please keep up the good work because I have no clue where I'm gonna get my Genshin content

Secondly your recent fic on Keaya and Albedo made my brain start to wonder if Albedo has ever brought one of his experiments home and used it to tickle Keaya or tricked Keaya into coming into the lab and ambushing him with an experiment hehehehehe

Thirdly again I really love your work and it does honestly make my day a bit better to come home and read your new fics so thank you

helloooo anon! your kind words have made me sob manly tears (╥﹏╥) hdejgfd thank you so much, I'm super happy that you enjoy reading my silly little ideas. and thank you for your request! your idea was a lot of fun to work with. xD I hope you enjoy! 💚

★・・・★・・・★・・・★

Kaeya sat comfortably upon his sofa, sipping a glass of his favorite wine as he pored over some documents that he should have checked at work, but it slipped his mind. Better late than never, he thought.

Fortunately for him, it was nothing too urgent, just simple things he needed to be aware of in upcoming events. It all seemed easy enough, but he had to take a moment to admire just how much thought went into Acting Grand Master’s words when writing this out.

She always did have a way with words, Kaeya smiled.

He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard the door creak open. His gaze lifted to see Albedo entering the room, closing the door behind him.

“Ah, if it isn’t my favorite Alchemist.” Kaeya greeted before sipping from his wine glass.

“Kaeya. Will you be my test subject for my latest experiment?”

Kaeya lowered his glass from his lips with an amused chuckle, Albedo was straight to the point as usual. “Hello to you, too.”

He watched as Albedo travelled closer, clutching a clipboard in his arms. His long boots loud against the floor he walked on.

“Hello,” Albedo stood directly in front of him, Kaeya instinctively uncrossing his legs so that Albedo could occupy the space in between, however Albedo kept a professional position today and opted to stand just before his knees instead. Kaeya couldn’t help but feel a small twinge of disappointment.   

“What exactly do you mean by test subject?” Kaeya placed his forgotten documents to the side table seated next to the sofa.

“A test subject is typically a volunteer who participates in human subject research to assist in-”

Kaeya’s chuckle interrupted the alchemist. “No, dear. I’m quite familiar with what it means. I just meant, what is it you would like me to do as your test subject?”

“I see,” Albedo checked his clipboard briefly, he most likely wrote notes on what Kaeya’s position as test subject would be there. “Well, I’ve created this new device that I would like you to try on.”

Kaeya raised a brow and gave a curious tilt of his head. “A device? That sounds very ominous.”

“I can assure you that there is nothing to fear. It was not created with the intent to harm the wearer, but I would like to test the results of the effects it can provide.” Albedo explained and Kaeya couldn’t help but drift in Albedo’s passionate expression. “Is that alright?”

“Hm. I’m not sure,” Kaeya leaned back against the sofa cushions, audaciously amused by the look of confusion written all over Albedo’s face, he almost looked shocked by Kaeya’s early dismissal. “What if something were to go terribly wrong and I were to be harmed in the process?”

“I wouldn’t ask you to test it if there were any risk of that happening,” Albedo assured, finally taking the offered standing space between Kaeya’s legs while he sat. Kaeya couldn’t hide his smile and leaned forward to wrap his arms around the blonde, looking up at him fondly.

Albedo made sure that the clipboard wasn’t in the way when Kaeya embraced onto him, which Kaeya was grateful for. “And do I get a reward for my efforts?”

“Oh, I would say so,” Albedo finally smiled, a tint of red decorating his cheeks at their closeness.

“Then how can I refuse. Where is this device of yours?”

~*~

Once inside Albedo’s work study, Kaeya found himself looking at a strange looking device in Albedo’s hands, which was held out to him.

“Is that a belt?” Kaeya questioned, observing the shape of the purple device.

“That is the object I based its appearance on, yes. Very easy to wear.” Albedo explained, undoing the buckle and stepping closer to help put it on. Kaeya lifted his arms, a little sceptical but still willing to participate while Albedo places the belt around his waist.

“And you’re certain this won’t hurt?”

“I give you my word,” Albedo gave him a reassuring smile before stepping away back to his desk, where there sat a small remote control. “Now, this belt has three different level of settings installed. When I switch it on, you will start to feel a small sensation emanating from the belt. It will automatically start at the lowest setting, and after a minute, we will progress to the next, and then again until we reach the end. If at any time during the experiment it becomes too much, please say stop. Simple?”

“It sounds simple enough.” Kaeya looked down at the belt that hugged his waist and gave it a small adjustment with his thumb before crossing his arms across his broad chest. “When do we start?”

“Right now,” Albedo flicked the switch, and Kaeya felt the belt come to life. It emitted a gentle vibration that sent tingles across Kaeya’s belly, and he squirmed at the unexpected sensation, struggling to maintain his usual composure.

“Ah – heh, t-that feels different,” Kaeya stuttered, unsure of what the purpose of the belt was even for with these tingly sensations. “Is – ahem – is this for massages perhaps?”

“We can properly summarize after the testing is complete,” Albedo explained, his attention turning back down to the remote in his hand. “Before I up to the next setting. How would you describe this feeling you’re experiencing right now?”

“H-Heh, kind of tingly,” Kaeya admitted truthfully.  

“Noted. Now, let’s proceed,” Albedo didn’t even wait for Kaeya to agree before flicking to the next setting.

“Am I supposed to- Ack!” Kaeya heard himself gasp when the vibrations of the belt increased, spreading across his torso with much more intensity than a pleasant tingle. This time, Kaeya found himself struggling to maintain his composure at all. A chuckle escaped his lips.

“And now?” Albedo asked, clearly noticing the change in Kaeya’s body language as he struggled to remain still, and small laughs escaped him.

“D-Definitely more – ahah, intense!” Kaeya replied, his hips swaying to try and rid the belt from his body but with no luck. It just looked like he was doing a funny dance, which he heard Albedo give a small chuckle at. “Is thihis normal?”  

Albedo hummed with a nod. “Everything seems perfectly normal thus far. Your reactions have been expected. Now for the final setting.”

“W-Wait!” Kaeya panicked, he could barely take this recent setting but before he could protest any further, the setting had been turned up. “Ahahaha!”

The belt vibrated and danced furiously against Kaeya’s waist, sending huge waves of ticklish sensations across his entire body. Kaeya doubled down with laughter, trying to squirm around to rid himself of some of the intensity but was trapped within the belt’s ticklish clutches.

“How is it now?” Albedo’s voice just made it over Kaeya hysterical laughs.

“Ihihit tihihickles!” he wheezed, even snorting a little when his legs finally gave up holding him up, weakened by his laughter he slowly fell to the ground. “Ahahahalot!”

“I can see that,” Albedo said, sounding smug? Kaeya looked up in attempt to confirm his suspicions and there it was, clear as day, a smug expression sat upon Albedo’s face.

That little sneak.

“Yohou little – Bahaha!” Kaeya couldn’t even get a full sentence out, being driven mad by incessant tickles that no matter how much he squirmed, he couldn’t escape from.

“Subject seems to be reacting just as expected,” Albedo began taking notes on his clipboard, that smug smile never once faltering. “I suppose it does help that I know just how responsive to you are to being tickled.”

“Mahahake it stohohohp!” Kaeya cackled, using his hands to cover his face that now turned bright red from laughter. “Plehehease!”

After what felt like an eternity, the belt ceased its movements and Kaeya was finally allowed to breathe. The room that was filled with sounds of laughter, now quietened down to heavy breathing as Kaeya tried to capture his breath and soft scribbles of Albedo writing.

“You dearest, are a mad scientist,” Kaeya narrowed his eye up at the blonde, who responded with a genuine chuckle of amusement. Kaeya could feel himself melt at the sound. “Did you really make that just for me?”

“I did, and I’d say that it worked perfectly.”

“You certainly got me, that’s for sure. Although, I hope you realise that after this, I will be declining all your requests to be a test subject from now on?”

“I’m sure you will reconsider,” Albedo smiled down before offering a hand out to his exhausted test subject. Kaeya accepted and with the blonde’s help, he was lifted from the ground back on his feet. “You’re free to take that off now. Unless you would like to go again?”

“I’m good.” Kaeya chuckled before unbuckling the belt himself and taking it off. He idly rubbed away at the spot the belt left before continuing. “I do believe I’m owed a reward.”

“That’s true. What would you like?”

It was Kaeya’s turn to look smug as he twirled the belt on his finger, holding it towards Albedo in a subtle hint. Albedo gulped.  

[sshiostwordblog]

Very important ask for the resident Albedo lover. Do you have any tickle hcs that you really really love for him? :3

LET'S FUCKING GOOOO I GET TO RANT ABOUT ALBEDO TICKLE HEADCANONS OMG you made me the happiest just by asking this and now you've triggered my yap fest. THANK YOU VEE. IM SO HAPPY

Look at that pretty face. I was itching to mention some headcanons I have of him and now you gave me the chance heueheuheh

As a lee first and mostly because I love him as a lee:

This is a collective thing we've all agreed on when it comes to him right?? Neck: Ticklish. Especially that little birthmark. It has been mentioned quite often but PLEASE some nuzzles there and he's all giggly (tickles or kisses around his ears would get him giggling softly too).

Breathy giggles. My favorite of them all. There's plenty of clips of his ENG VA giggling and they're just everything to me, I'd like to think he also giggles like that.

When it comes to reactions, I feel like if you get a bad spot he wheezes and then quietly hiccups. (There are plenty of clips to back it up).

I have one thing to say. He also wears gloves to cover those pale hands and rarely takes them off. TICKLISH. PALMS. A few kisses there and he's giggling quietly.

If you're a very close friend or more, he would let you tickle him just to indulge you or because he doesn't mind, even if he doesn't explicitly show it. We've seen how capable he is: if he wanted to stop you, he totally could...

Buuuut he wouldn't even really say "stop". He would maybe say "wait" or come up with excuses through his breathy giggles, claiming he has more important matters to take care of; but not really drawing a firm line to stop the shenanigans. Both because he's too kind for that and because the attention is unfamiliar to him... so he just lets it happen.

If it's a person not-so-close to him he wouldn't let it slide and kindly ask to stop, yes. He's pretty reserved after all.

He cannot take baby talk. He's usually so calm and collected, so serious about his tasks. I feel like a little bit of sweet talk with tickles would get him all bashful and blushy.

Lastly, as a ler:

There isn't much to say about this at all because it's so very obvious. He's very curious when something catches his attention, he'd over-analyze your reactions. "Ah, where does it tickle more? Hmm, interesting..." we all can tell and picture how he would be like. Studying you.

I don't think he'd be ruthless, rather thoroughly amused and careful not to push it. He's so calculating and careful after all. Overall he's unbelievably sweet and there's already another tk drawing of him in process,,, (bevause I love him yes thank you)

[sshiostwordblog]

Okay so the first time I went through this fanfic was almost 4 years ago, but now that I've got my own blog it's very necessary for me to reblog this.

“The Art of Mimicry”☄️ (Albether)

A/N: Don't worry bros, I'm still alive and I'm still gonna work on the requests, but when I finished the event my brainrot was stopping me from working properly so have this sikshfsj- (P.S. Yeah I kinda finished this earlier, but I don't feel like being online much, but I also need to post something so-)

Characters: Aether, Albedo (romantic, please don't read if you don't like it)

⚠️ Warning: I don't believe that it was the real Albebe at the end of the event, and the plot is- not helping me- but I wanted something fluffy, so let's just say that Ami wasn't even trying to make things canon, she just wanted fluff and used imagination XD

Summary: “You're hiding something else from me”.

It was so strange.

Albedo had just left. Paimon kept talking about the fruits to Timaeus. It looked like everything came back to normal again... But something was definitely off.

The rest of the day went completely normal for Aether, too. Doing commissions, visiting his Mondstadt friends, cooking, joking around with Paimon - he did nearly everything he usually does. But, for some reason, even after everything that happened in Dragonspine had finally ended, a strange feeling formed in his chest, and it didn't want to go away.

“You are awfully quiet today, you know?” Paimon flew closer to the blonde boy, touching his shoulder gently, as they were walking down the main street, “Is it because of Albedo?.. Mph, actually, you have every right to be mad, because that joke was not funny!”

“Something is wrong here. I- I need to visit him,” the poor traveller finally gave away his worry, resting his hands on the edge of the street fountain and looking at his own reflection in the water.

“Dragonspine? Again?!” Paimon squeaked, “Haven't we had enough already?!”

“You don't have to go with me if you don't want to,” Aether smiled at her weakly, “I just... I just need to figure a few things out. Besides, it can get a little bit personal, and you won't understand some things anywa–”

“Aaagh, I got it, no-one wants to have Paimon around!” she pouted, crossing her arms on her chest, turning away, “Maybe you should make Albedo your new travelling companion, then!”

“Paimooon, you know that's not true,” he giggled, trying to pull her closer for a hug, “Everyone lohoves you!”

“I'M NOT LISTENING TO YOUR LIES!”

“Cohome ooon!..”

°•❄️•°

Cold, darkness, ice, the creaking sound of the old wooden planks on a broken bridge. Again. Being completely alone on this snowy mountain made the traveller feel some kind of sadness indeed, especially at night. Doesn't Albedo feel the same way?

A few minutes passed, Aether was walking through the snow in silence.

...How's he? Why did he leave when he knew that he'd only put himself in danger? Was it even him? And if it wasn't, then what happened to him?...

The flow of thoughts in his head immediately stopped as soon as he saw the light, shyly shining through the tree branches on the left.

Albedo?..

The blonde ran as fast as he could, moving the cold, snowy branches out of his way. And, to Aether's surprise, it was, in fact, Albedo. The familiar figure turned around, a pencil and a sketchbook in his hands. He looked quite surprised. Aether could tell, even if his boyfriend was not showing any expressions on his face most of the time.

The traveller looked around silently. Darkness, a beautifully looking cave, snow, trees, snow, more darkness, and a lamp left on the ground beside a single chair Albedo was sitting on. All of it made him look... even more lonely.

“...Aether? Why are you here? It's pretty late,” the alchemist asked softly, finally breaking the silence.

He was acting more like himself, unlike earlier that day. It's probably him. Everything's fine.

“I was just... worried about you. I wouldn't be able to fall asleep like this anyway, heh...” the blonde smiled shyly, scratching the back of his head, “Are you sketching at that hour? In the mountains, with a single lamp?..”

“I do it sometimes, there's nothing unusual. People relax at night, that's just a different way to relax for me,” Albedo's eyes met Aether's. The traveller was... tired, scared, stressed. The alchemist sighed, standing up.

“How about a little night walk with me, sir Honorary Knight?”

“Ahare you sure I can trust you?” the blonde rolled his eyes playfully.

“We'll see,” he raised his eyebrows a little bit, “Let's get going to my camp, I'll make you some hot tea”.

The alchemist smiled as the traveller gently held at his arm, ready to go.

After a few minutes of walking in now comforting silence passed.

“Aether, I wanted to talk to you”.

“About what?”

Albedo's eyebrows furrowed a little bit in thought.

“Do you still... see a real human in me?”

“What kind of question is that?” the traveller's eyes widened in surprise, “Of course I do! And I still love you, so your place and... way of birth don't really matter to me when it comes to this kind of question. And, of course, you are a human. Would I love someone who can't love me back?”

“Do you think that being able to love is some kind of a special human ability?” Albedo chuckled, “Interesting. Maybe you're right, after all”.

“So, where were you going with this question?

“Well...” the alchemist stopped walking and looked at the night sky full of stars, “Look up there, Aether”.

“The stars are beautiful tonight,” the traveller said, “...So?”

“Do you think that every single little star is unique? Do they all look wonderful and unusual to you?”

Aether examined the small white dots that shone in the blackness of the night. All are practically the same. But his answer surprised Albedo, for the second time that evening.

“From a distance they don't look very different from each other. But who knows how far away they are? Perhaps if you get closer, it turns out that they glow in different colors! Or maybe each of them has something different inside! Or...” the traveller stopped himself, smiling shyly, “I mean, a lot of things can seem the same on the outside. But this does not mean that each star is not unique. That's my opinion”.

The lamp in Albedo's hand revealed the alchemist's thoughtful face.

“Well, that makes sense. But would you be able to distinguish one single star from a thousand others?”

“If I knew this little star like no one else, then I would,” Aether smiled softly, suddenly coming closer and kissing the alchemist's cheek, “That's why I'm here right now, Bedo”.

Of course he understands everything. Aether is not a fool.

“Okay, okay, we'll talk about it later,” Albedo's ears became slightly red as he turned away, remaining calm (or trying to), “My camp is near, come on, I don't want you to catch a cold...”

°•❄️•°

Albedo put the old kettle on to warm up. The pleasant sound of the bubbling water filled the cave, and the change in temperature made the little goosebumps run down the traveler's back, shoulders and arms as he smiled tiredly.

“Oh, also,” the alchemist said, smiling to himself while looking through today's sketches, “How did you manage to get here without Paimon?”

“She was offended, so I had to pay for her lunch at The Good Hunter. She said she would think about forgiving me in the near future,” Aether laughed, sitting on one of the chairs, still shivering lightly.

“Still cold?” Albedo asked.

“Y-yeah, just a little bit. It's going to be okay, it's warm enough here!”

The alchemist thought about something for a few seconds, then took out a folded blanket from the closet, coming behind his boyfriend.

“How about this?” he smiled, covering the traveller's shoulders with it.

“Oh, thank y-ohohohu?!..” Aether flinched, giggling, after he felt someone's sneaky fingers dig into his sides through the blanket, “Behedoho, nohohooo!..”

“Just wanted to help you warm up a little bit,” his boyfriend smiled, stopping after a few seconds to pour some tea for both of them.

“Mehehean...” the traveller hugged himself, still smiling.

Meanwhile, Albedo cleared some space on the table to put down two cups.

“Ohokay, sorry, sorr–”

But it was now his turn to flinch. His boyfriend's voice was suddenly heard right near the alchemist's left ear.

“You're hiding something else from me”.

“Ah!..” Albedo quickly turned around, backing away a little bit, “W-what do you mean?”

“These questions you asked me earlier,” Aether continued, “They have something to do with all this. You didn't visit Mondstadt this day, too. It wasn't you. And, the most interesting part is that you know about it. So, how, and what exactly happened, Albedo?”

The traveller didn't sound worried this time. Albedo could tell that, seeing Aether place his hands on his hips with a smug grin on his face.

“...I don't think that I understand w-what you're talking about,” the alchemist smiled a little bit. A little bit too nervously to not look like a liar, “I would never hide something so important from you”.

“Oh, you wouldn't? Why are you smiling like that right now if it's so important, hm?” the traveller started getting closer to his boyfriend slowly, making Albedo lose his confidence more and more with each Aether's step.

“A-Aehether!..” unable to hold back his quiet giggling, the alchemist immediately ran behind the table as soon as he felt that the other boy was going to pounce on him at any second.

“Yes?~” the traveller was repeating every action after him as if he was a mirror, trapping Albedo behind the table and not letting him escape, changing directions and moving wherever the alchemist tried to run, “Looks like I've mastered the art of mimicry too, huh?~”

This wasn't helping Albedo to stop the nervous giggles from escaping his lips, though. Finally, he decided to make a run for it–

“Oh no, you don't!” Aether's arms swiftly wrapped around the other's waist, pulling him back. And suddenly, Albedo found himself being trapped in between a cave wall and his boyfriend, who was grinning at him mischievously.

“Ahaehether!” he blushed, trying to avoid his gaze, “Wahait!..”

“What exactly are we waiting for, Bedo?~” he giggled in response, blocking the alchemist's final ways for escaping by putting his hands on the wall, on either side of the trapped blonde.

Albedo didn't answer and only bit his lip, trying to hide his smile. The traveller smirked.

“Thahat's what I thought~,” he said, “Well, let's start our little conversation. We need to figure some things out, after all, don't we?”

The alchemist let out a little high-pitched squeak, feeling a pair of hands being placed on his waist gently. And then he flushed a whole new shade of red, because his boyfriend's fingers weren't even moving. Well, embarrassing.

“First of all, you probably thought: "Ah, Aether, but how did you know it wasn't me in Mondstadt today?"” the grinning blonde tried mimicking Albedo's voice (pretty unsuccessfully), which only made the other huff out a quiet laugh, rolling his eyes, “Well, I can answer your question! I figured it out easily, because this–”

“AHA- Wahait!..”

“–shouldn't be able to disappear under any circumstances!” Aether started playfully nuzzling the alchemist's neck, right where his little star was located, while holding his waist gently.

“Eh- ahah..! A-aehether!..” Albedo tried pushing at his boyfriends' shoulders gently, “N-not thihis!..”

“Why not? You don't seem to mind it that much~,” he mumbled into his neck, tickling the alchemist with his breath, “And let's come back to these questions you were asking me earlier...”

“...Lehet's nohot?..” Albedo scrunched up his shoulders, smiling nervously and looking down at the other's hands positioned on his sides, trying to get ready for any possible attacks.

“...and also check if you're my Albedo while I'm at it~,” Aether finished his sentence, taking a good thoughtful look at the trapped alchemist in front of him, “First of all, if I remember correctly, my favourite little star was pretty ticklish riiight here!”

Albedo squealed loudly, bursting into an uncontrollable fit of shy giggles, as soon as his boyfriend's thumbs suddenly started drilling into the alchemist's hips.

“OhOH!.. Oh noHOhooo!...” he whined, hiding his flushed face in Aether's shoulder, while his own hands immediately grabbed the attacker's wrists, but didn't push them away.

“No? Not ticklish?” the traveller hummed, “This means that you're not the real Bedo?~”

“Ahaether, ihit's mehEHEheee!”

“...Oh, yes, this cute little dance you're doing looks familiar,” he giggled along with the alchemist, watching him occasionally jump and wiggle his hips from side to side, “You've got some moves there~”.

“Quiehehet!..” Albedo's ears turned pink at the comment as he wrapped his arms around the traveller's neck. No, it was not a hug. It was just a... a...

“Is that an invitation to continue?~” Aether grinned, and the alchemist whined, flustered, “Will you tell me what happened?”

“...Ihi cahahan't!..”

“Nah, you will soon, and we both know it! Hmmm, my Bedo was also ticklish here...~”

To his horror, Albedo felt two sets of familiar fingers crawl under his coat and start spidering at his sides playfully. Ah, Aether was really happy that he got a good opportunity to mess with him like this, wasn't he?...

“Mph-! Ahahaheheh!.. Aether!..”

“Yes, my little ticklish star? Ready to talk?”

“N-nohooo!..”

“Hm, then maybe a good kitchy-kitchy-coo right there will do–”

“EHEEK–!” the alchemist pressed his elbows to his sides when Aether's fingers started travelling higher, “Nohot thihis, not thihihis!..”

“Not what? Ohhh, yohou mean this?~” the traveller asked teasingly, starting to pinch at the other's lower ribs softly, and absolutely enjoying his shy laughter, full of little hiccups and surprised squeaks whenever a new spot was attacked...

“Awww, someone's got ticklish little riiiibs?~” Aether cooed at the alchemist amusedly, while his hands kept making their way up, “Are these little ribs ticklish? Are they? Are they?~”

“NohoHO tahaHAlking like thahaHAhaat!..” Albedo squeezed his eyes shut, blushing bright red and knowing full well that his boyfriend is fully aware of what baby-talk usually does to him.

“No talking like that?” Aether tilted his head to the side in curiousity, “Why? It's just a few words! Can't our adorable Bedo handle just a few teases?”

“Yehehes!”

How could his partner be so sweet and childish, but also very mean and ruthless at the same time? Good question. Aether planned to start an interrogation, but he was so playful that they both were having a little bit too much fun with this.

“Well...” the traveller smirked, “If you're not going to talk...”

“Nohononono,” Albedo's eyes widened as he smiled nervously, already knowing what's going to come next, “Noho, Aether, no”.

“Yehes, Bedo, yes!” he laughed in response, positioning his fingers on the other's lower ribs once more, “Seems like we're going to need to count someone's riiibs!”

“Noho we're nohooot!” the trapped blonde's squirming renewed as he tried to suppress his own quiet giggles in anticipation.

“Then tell me what happened!”

“I cahan't!.. Nohot yehet!”

“Oh, cohome on, it looks like you really do want me to tickle it out of you!” Aether dug into his boyfriend's first rib softly, ticklishly massaging it with his fingertips, “That's oooone...~”

“Aehether, pleheHEHEEE-” the poor alchemist let out a high-pitched shriek, arching his back out in another direction and trying to avoid these devious fingers, pressing his elbows to his sides. The keyword is ‘trying’ though, because there really was no way of escaping his own fate. Not when Aether needs something from him.

“...Twooo...~”

“NoHOhoho!..” Albedo squealed uncharacteristically as this little game went on.

“Oooh, you better stay still, or else you're gonna make me lose count and we'll have to start aaall over again!...Threeeee...~”

“HeheHEheeeeelp!..”

But, after a minute or so, when Aether got a little bit too close to ten, Albedo finally broke.

“AHAHETHER!.. I'll talk!.. I'll taHAHAhaaalk!.. PleheHEhease!..”

The traveller stopped immediately, looking up with his usual sweet smile and admiring the happy, flushed face of his loved one, who was still giggling like a child with his eyes closed.

“I am ready to listen, Bedo”.

Yes, this nearly sleepless night was full of talking, hot tea and laughter. There really were a lot of things to figure out only for the two of them.

They were alone, where no-one could hear or disturb them. At least, Albedo wanted to think that way.

After a good few hours, Aether finally managed to fall asleep, feeling safe and warm, because Albedo was here. The alchemist looked up at the dark sky full of stars above him, leaning back on the cold cave wall and smiling calmly to himself.

This world is dangerous.

I might be dangerous.

But I will always love you, my little star.
