~.~

It's a surprise his mom says nothing about him trying to hide something on his neck but she does raise an eyebrow at Xiao's appearance, but says nothing of it.

Aether opens his mouth to try to say something, but what is there to say in this kind of situation? What can he say to Albedo that won't sound terribly awkward?

"Y-Yes this is Xiao my tutor," Aether motions to the male next to him, "He has to go now though."

Albedo doesn't even give Xiao a proper look before he walks towards the blonde and grabs his wrist, "I need to talk to you."

Talk to me? About what? Me avoiding him? Aether's heart races, and he knows that weeks before if this were to happen to him he would've been ecstatic and squealing for having his crush hold his wrist like this. There was still that rush of small butterflies but there wasn't that burst of fireworks or electricity coursing through him from a slight touch like he thought it would be like.

"You guys can go up to Aether's room." His mom says with a smile, so oblivious to everything. "Thank you again for helping Aether, Xiao, have a nice day."

Xiao's eyes are locked on the firm grip Albedo has on Aether, and he seems to hesitate in leaving but he does anyways so he doesn't look suspicious. "Yes. I'll see you again tomorrow."

"Do you need a ride home? I'm going to be leaving again anyways."

"Um.. it's alright. Thank you though."

Aether doesn't hear the rest of their conversation as he leads Albedo up to his room. His heart feels like its beating out of his chest, and the grip on his wrist doesn't loosen as they make their way up the stairs.

He doesn't even get a chance to react as Albedo closes the door and pins him against it, letting out a squeak when he felt how close they were pressed against one another.

This should feel wrong... but why does it feel so right?

After all, this was the guy he promised himself to in his head for a lot of years. Vowed to safe himself all for it to be thrown out the window the second he found a guy like Xiao, who also felt right for him.

"Why..." Albedo's hands travel up to his neck, and Aether's breath hitches as a finger touches over one of his hickies, "Why him? It should've been me."

They're almost the same height, but Albedo beats him by a few inches—and at this moment it almost feels like he's towering over him with how strong his hold is against him.

"You've had feelings for me for so long, I know you did. So what changed?" His hand wraps around Aether's neck, but not in a threatening kind of way and not enough to constrict his airway. "Why would you give yourself to someone like him?"

Aether feels tears trickle from his eyes, "I-I'm sorry I—" What should he even say? Sorry I don't have feelings for you anymore? But that would be a flat out lie. He had feelings for Albedo for so long, it would be difficult to just throw them out after all this.

Still, he can't just scrape away what he did with Xiao. He was tainted already, why would Albedo want him now?

"Aether, I know you're smart. You're one of the smartest people I know, maybe not in math but other than that," his hand slides down to wrap around the blonde's waist, "So why would you let someone like him touch you? What did he do to have you like this? To have you throw away your feelings for me?"
