Albedo POV

I walked down the school hallway to the lab. When I opened the door, Sucrose whirled around. 

"Oh! Mister Albedo! You're here!" 

"Sucrose. I told you not to-" 

 "I know but-"

"Fine. Did the results come out yet or-" 

"They did! Take a look at this!" 

Sucrose handed me a document and I couldn't help but chuckle. 

Her eyes were sparkling.

Most everyone think's she's shy, but around people or things she's comfortable with... she can go on forever. 

She's very passionate about alchemy. 

It's nice to see.

I looked over the paper and handed it back. 

"It looks great. What are you going to do with it?"

"I'll put it in the book for now." 

"Alright." 

She slipped the paper in the folder. 

We used it to store the information that would go in the book we were going to write together someday. 

I never showed it to Y/N.

I can see her laughing and chatting with me about the contents...

"I'm also almost halfway done with... Mr Albedo? Are you alright? Are you... Thinking about her again?" 

"Sorry. I zoned out." 

"It's alright if you're thinking about her. It must be expected." 

"I don't think it is. I stopped my experiment a long time ago. I shouldn't have feelings for her. I made sure of that." 

"But Mr Albedo..."

"I know what you're going to say." 

If my thoughts keep drifting towards her...

If she keeps popping up in my head...

If I find myself subconsciously thinking about how she'll react to something...

Is this love?

"Well then, let's get back to work!" 

I smiled. 

Sucrose is a good assistant. 

She knows not to mention things that bother me. 

But why does it bother me? 

Oh... right...

Even if I do love her...

She'll never love me back.

End of Albedo POV

You smiled slightly as something you heard somewhere popped up in your head. 

You weren't happy though. Not internally. 

"Your first love will love you Y/N. But that doesn't necessarily mean a happy ending." 

I was so happy when Bedo said he liked me back...

"Bedo? I want to tell you something." 

"What is it Y/N?" 

"I- I like you." 

I remember something glimmered in his eyes.
