Albedo's POV

'Calming'

I said to myself as I stared blankly at the clear skies going darker outside of the open window, feeling the cool breeze entering the lab.

I closed my eyes as soon as I felt the wind gently blew on my face and so I sighed

'Even the wind feels lonely tonight'

Then suddenly, I heard someone hastily open the door, causing me to jump a little. ruining the calming silence and I sighed 'What is it this time'

I turned around to see who the reckless person is. Then soon saw (y/n) beside the door, scanning the whole lab 'Did she leave something?'

"What are you-"

"Is Sucrose here?" She said with a serious expression on her face

'She's... Looking for Sucrose?'

"I let her take a break and participate in the festival," I said to her and continued to do some research as I avoided her figure

"GREAT!" she exclaimed and quickly went close to me as she grabbed my hand. I looked at her again and saw her usual expression whenever she's with me 'So she's doing it again...'

"I told you to stop-"

"Albedo, would you go to the library with me?" she asked me with determination on her face which caught me off guard

'library..? Hmm...'

I examined her expression and it seems like she's really desperate

Even though she knew that I'd turn her down, she's still... Optimistic about it

'Alright... I'll give you a chance (y/n)'

I sighed in defeat

'But as soon as you act unusual towards me, I'll sever ties with you for wasting my time'

"... I suppose it wouldn't be a bad idea" I calmly said and saw her joyous smile

"Let's go!" she excitedly said as she immediately wrapped her arms around mine

'This habit of hers again...'

I let out a sigh and we went to the library... together.......

---

The spacious library is quiet tonight and it seems like it's just the two of us

'As expected, she planned it as soon as she heard about the event'

I sat down with (y/n) beside me and I started to read the books I picked from the shelves while she has none

'*sigh* I'm not even in the mood to read... I should really get into my research and-'

My thoughts were cut off by her giggling quietly

"What are you laughing at? You shouldn't make noise inside the library" I calmly said while turning the page of the book

"Oh c'mon, no one's in here except us two. So that means we're free to be loud as we want~" she playfully said and I sighed again because of her stubbornness and simply ignored her

Minutes later of silence she spoke something that made me puzzled

"You know... You're pretty amazing Albedo" she muttered. I stopped focusing on the book I was reading as soon as I heard her
