Masterlist

FALLING IN LOVE:

it'll take some time to get him to warm up to you since he's not used to havig and keeping relationships, even platonically

He wants to know you as a friend first and falls in love with you later

when he falls in love, he ponders on what it is he's feeling first (for a long time)

he's an alchemist and hasn't spend much time in the company of others, so he doesn't understand feelings that well

would have no idea what's happening

doesn't know why he's feeling this awkward when he's around you

he has this desire to make everything right when you are there (he just wants to impress you)

Somebody else would probably have to tell him that these feelings are normal (and what they are) -it's Kaeya, who says in passing how obvious the alchemist's crush on you is and Albedo frantically looks around to check wether you've heard-

Suddenly, everything makes sense to him. How he always looks forward to seeing you, how he can't seem to concentrate or look away from you when you're there, how he worries when you're late more than he does with others

But now he has the problem of talking to you without immideatly telling you how he feels

He is scared that you'll reject him and will "test" some things (he'll try to fluster you and see if it works and wether it's because of him or the compliments). He will only try to confess when he is very sure you like him back

When he finally decides to do it, he plans his confession out and wants it to be perfect

he's still kind of scared that you'll reject him because he has no idea how romantic relationships work, even if he's sure you like him

he tries not to, but he will become quite distant mentally, (nothing very unusual, but now it's you on his mind instead of experiments (not that you know that)), even though the time he physically spends with you will be longer than before (slowly but surely, he doesn't want to rush you and make you question what he's doing)

CONFESSION:

For his confession, he plans. A lot.

he wants to make it special and wants you to remember it (to him, you only deserve the best)

he will probably plan some sort of picnic, either in Dragonspine (why? it's where he works, so he knows every spot there (also, he wants an excuse to give you his jacket when you're cold)) or near Mondstadt. He will have -a lot- some of his artificial flowers. Depending on how cold it is, he might modify them so that they emit some heat and they will be flying around and bringing you food

Now, as you're sitting there, he's hesitant, even though he knows you like him back

He's confused because the rational part of his mind knows this. But there's still something in him that is convinced you'll reject him for whatever reason.

In the end, when he does confess, you won't even know he'd been nervous

WHAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS LIKE:

Overall the sweetest and kindest boyfriend in the world

If you like them and you told him this before, expect to be randomly lifted by his flowers, especially if he sees that you are trying to get something from high up and can't reach it

He doesn't understand the point of teasing soemone and he would prefer if you didn't tease him too much either

He would probably want to show you a lot of his experiments (as long as you don't mind, of course), but wants you to stay back far enough so you won't get hurt.

Let's you do little experiments yourself, although they are only ones he knows nothing CAN go wrong

He loves giving you things, his gifts usually consist of his experiemnts, he'd rather give you something he spent his time on than just buy you something

Will ramble on an on about something interesting he found while the two of you are cuddling.

Probably apologizes for this for the first few times, until you tell him you don't mind and that you like his voice

He will also always listen to you, he thinks it's only fair since you listen to him as well

Always invites you to join him with his experiments and expeditions on Dragonspine, but never pressures you

Asks you to take an experienced adventurer with you unless you are one yourself if you ever go up pr down the mountain without him

Prefers if you go up together, though (also because he -unconciously- tries to impress you with his knowledge)

You are the only person that can stop him from overworking by offering cuddles (please make use of this power, even if it's only for 10 minutes)

He spends a lot of time with his experiments and will not come down from Dragonspine for weeks at a time, which is why he takes you with him. You remind him that there are other things than experimenting and he doesn't have to miss you when you're with him

If you can ever not go with him, he will write you letters that he will let the expeditions that bring him new materials deliver to you

Probably has a big, heated tent or cave somewhere on Dragonspine where the two of you sleep

If you're a knight and have to do paperwork, you do it either in there or in his lab cave

If you're an adventurer, you go out to clear comissions in and around Dragonspine and then come back to him

You also remind him that he has to go back to the city one in a while

When he is in Modstadt and not working in the Headquarters, he loves to spend all of his time with you (it's still not that much in the beginning, but he learns and wants to spend more time with you and on the relationship)

You go on dates and, no matter where you go or for how long, most end with him painting or sketching you (don't blame him, he thinks you're beautiful and wants to preserve that beauty on paper)

PHYSICAL AFFECTION:

I think Albedo is a morning person, he gets up early to start his experiments and tries his best not to wake you

He gives you a small peck on the forehead and then gets ready and leaves

He thinks you don't know, but sometimes him shuffling around wakes you up but, hey, it's not like you're complaining

Throughout the day, whenever he sees you, he will give you a short kiss or a peck on the cheek or he will hug for a short moment

Once he retires for the day (and if you're not already asleep) he will cuddle you and not let go

This is also when his kisses get longer and he holds you even closer

He won't let go of you for the whole night and if you have to stand up for whatever reason... good luck

He doesn't sleep that well without you anymore, which he sometimes sees as inconvenient but doesn't actually mind that much

ARGUMENTS:

Arguments between the two of you rarely happen and if they do, they're mostly about him overworking himself

Those usually get resolved just as quick since he doesn't like fighting with you and knows it will only steal time that can be spent on better things

He really really appreciates you being there for and with him every step of the way and if he falls in love with you, it's going to stay that way forever (pls don't leave him ever, he probably wouldn't be able to take it)

Both of you learn to communicate whenever you have a disagreement, and if it's not possible right away, you do so the next morning

I hope you like it! Comments and constructive criticism are appreciated

You will never hear dwarven folk metal. You will never hear elf prog rock. You will never see an orc do a drum solo. You will never see a gnome shredding on the keyboard. You will never see a goblin punk band. Despair eternally

Propmt: Buying a Christmas Tree

A/N: I think the Writing Block is over. I'll publish at least up until Day 5 today and then I hope I'll be back to publishing daily on the 9th

Masterlist

It was time again. Everybody started decorating their houses and the taverns and restaurants had Christmas menus. The majority of items in the stores were Christmas themed and people had started singing Christmas carols. It was time for you to also buy a Christmas tree for your home, as every year. The only difference this time was that you have your boyfriend with you, walking next to you holding your hand as you make your way over the bridge to the outside of the city, where the shop and the trees were set up. Since a couple weeks after the two of you got together, Aether had been living in your house whenever he was in Mondstadt, enabling him to spend all of his time with you. According to him, it was only fair that he'd help with everything he could. When you mentioned in one of your letters that everything was being decorated und the tree shop was open, you thought he'd be in Mondstadt for Christmas as he promised, or a couple days before, so he could decorate it with you. What surprised you was him infront of your house a few days later. He probably came bach from Liyue, where he was called to by Mr. Zhongli, as soon as he got your letter. You just hoped that Mr. Zhongli would forgive you for stealing his helper.

But that leads you to your current situation, having, by now, arrived at the shop. The only thing left to do was pick out the perfect tree. You were greeted by Master Diluc, who, very reluctantly, worked with the Knights of Favonius on this project. He beckons a nearby knight to lead you around and show a couple of trees, asking for your opinions.

In the end, all of the trees were good but you found a perfect one. It was fairly small, had a lot of branches and would fit perfectly in your living room. You just had to get it back. Aether had suggested carrying it back, but you didn't want him to break his back. Luckily, the knight mentioned that there were sleighs that you could pull the tree with you.

Doing just that you brought the tree back to your house and while Aether put it up, you prepared some hot chocolate for the two of you. You sat on the sofa and cuddled close, enjoying your drink and the others presence. You could still decorate the tree in a few days.

Hope you enjoyed!

Prompt: Making Christmas Cards

A/N: I'm sorry this is late. I had an exam and had to study (🙄). Day three will be out tomorrow, as will Day 4. After that it'll hopefully be every day again. This is not properly proofread.

Masterlist

You were basically Klee's babysitter. After Jean found out about the plans Klee came up with in solitary confinement, she assigned someone to entertain her und keep her out of trouble. That someone happened to be you. Over the last few months of this arrangement, you've grown close. You started seeing her as your little sister und she also saw you as a big sibling. So, she thought she should introduce you to her other sibling, her big brother Albedo.

And what better way to do this than inviting you to malle Christmas Cards with her at her house. of course, you agreed.

You and klee were sitting at her kitchen table messing with colours, paper and glitterg glue that Alice made for her. That was when he came in. Albedo came home, ready to prepare dinner for Klee, who would usually be brought back home by Lisa, Kaeya or Jean about an hour later.

What he was not ready for was the light being on und the laughter of klee. And another person. Where did this other person come from? Slightly vary, he opened the door and snuk across the hallway towards the kitchen. He peeked around the corner seeing two people leaning over the table, one was his little sister waving paper around und gesturing wildly with her hands and the other person, of which he could only see the heir leaning down and sketching something was unknown to him but didn't seem threatening. So, Klee was not in danger. But still, who was that person?

---

"Albedo!" Klee spotted him and ran up to her brother "look what me und y/n are making!"

Ah, so you were the y/n Klee had been talking about for the last weeks. The games you two played und how you took care of her whenever she messed up and that you were always nice. Albedo had wanted to meet you for a while now. Lost in his thoughts, he didn't even notice Klee letting go of him and bouncing back to the table. It was only when she told you to look who was home that he snapped out of it to greet you properly. This was another thing he was not ready for.

You looked up at him, smiling and saying some sort of greeting that he didn't understand because he was in a trance get again. Don't blame him, he just neuer thought he'd see someone as attractive as you. He caught himself quickly though, walking over to the table were you had stood up to shake hands in greeting.

"Hello. Pleased to meet you" Why was he shy? You were just an ordinary person, there was no reason for him to be nervous in any way.

"Likewise" He liked your voice, he noticed. It was a very nice voice. What was his brain doing? He's heard you speak only one word, where did this come from?

Unbeknownst to him, you weren't faring much better, also captivated by the beautiful being in front of you.

"Big brother Albedo, do you want to join us? Were making Christmas Cards!" It was only then that the two of you noted you were still shaking hands without the hands moving. No, he will not call it holding hands. It won't be too good for his heart.

"You know what? Why not. Y/n, do you want to stay for dinner later?"

"Yeah! Please join us!"

"If you insist, then gladly" You agreed to their proposition.

---

It was a very fun evening, making the cards and then preparing dinner together. Over the table, you und Albedo threw glances at each other when one of you wasn't looking, much to the amusement of Klee, who was smiling to herself, already scheming on how she'll get the two of you together.

Again sorry that it's late. I hope you liked it anyways and as always, fell free to send any constructive criticism.
