Chapter 2 ➭ Experiment

'Ah! Y/N! Can you help me put these things away if you don't mind?'

Sucrose looked at you shyly as she indicated the mass of bottles and papers.

You didn't mind at all, so you nodded as the two of you began clearing up. It was quite late when you finished everything, so you began to make your way to your room.

Morning arrived and as you woke up from your bed, you flinched in surprise as you saw Albedo sitting near your bed, quietly observing you. You had no idea how long he had been there, but you managed to regain your composure soon enough.

'Al..bedo?'

The alchemist was seated on a chair, his hair scraped back into a rough ponytail, yet several stands of hair covered his face. He was wearing an oversized jumper and a clipboard sat in his lap. His hands seemed to be working well, they were back to normal, you presumed. 

'Oh. You're awake. How was your sleep?'

'Um, good? What are you doing here – '

'I was simply observing your sleeping patterns.'

'For... how long?'

'Most of the night, I would say.' Albedo shifted in his seat, a smile forming at his lips.

You blinked, mortified.

'Why though – That's a bit... weird, don't you think?'

'Oh, is it? Then I sincerely apologise.'

You yawned as you got up from your bed.

How did he stay awake for literally the whole night?

'Let's go?'

You looked at Albedo.

'Ah, yes.'

He slowly stood up and as he did so, Albedo went over to you and softly said into your ear, 'you look so beautiful when you're asleep.'

That freaked you out quite a bit. But this was Albedo. A scientific genius who always knew what he was doing. You tried to forget about it.

Tried.

Both of you left the room as you began getting ready. After finishing that, you saw Sucrose and Albedo getting ready to eat breakfast with you.

Meals there were always fun. The three of you talked animatedly about anything, really, and almost all meals ended with a cup of hot chocolate.

'Albedo, are your hands better now? After the explosion, I don't think - ' Sucrose began talking, her eyes slightly wide in worry.

'You do not need to worry about it, Sucrose. The wounds have healed, I'm fine now.'

Albedo gave her a slight smile as the three of you continued eating. 

Time passed, and you and Albedo were alone once again. Sucrose had locked herself in her room, probably doing something biology related. She had a habit of bombarding herself in there and didn't let either of you go in. You tried had many times to get in, but now you realised it was better to just let her get on with what she was doing.

'Y/N? I've been wanting to ask you this for a while so...'

'What is it?' You turned to face him. The two of you were now in your room, simply relaxing for a bit after a while of working.

Albedo bit his lip hesitantly as he finally met your eyes again.

'May I... experiment on you?'
