Sins will never be Forgiven (Albedo X Sucrose)

01

It's been a while since she stabbed Dottore's thigh and finished their contract. Her freedom was set, and she would be able to start a new life next to the people she loves and appreciate.

She wasn't a Fatui anymore, she was the Knights of Favonius Chief Alchemist's assistant, and Timaeus friend.

But besides, she was also the friend of Rubedo, Albedo's forbidden brother. He made her feel confident and safe. He was important to her.

And her life became the one she ever dreamt of. She would be working on investigations, fulfilling tasks and spending time with her friends.

But sometimes, those memories came back to her.

So many people who was in the same situation than her, adopted by the same monster she fought.

And if it wasn't because of fate, she would be buried as they are.

A scary feeling ran into herself and she felt goosebumps.

She wouldn't even be there, next to many kind people.

When she felt like that, it was usual that "that" man usually held her shoulders to calm her down and softly whisper.

—"Sucrose, are you alright?" — Albedo whispered away from Timaeus. —"Need to take some breath?"

Sucrose just looked back at him and made a deep breathe.

—"I'm alright." — She answered. —"I can deal with this, don't worry."

Albedo just walked back, unsure about her statement, but sure that she would deal with it.

After all, she passed through harder situations, right?

And when the daylight disappeared, she'd say goodbye to her coworkers and walk home to have rest in the night.

That night, Albedo was concerned about her situation. By some reason, she loved working and hated having rest. He was sure she was going to, eventually, pass out in the middle of her work, and he didn't want to.

After that day, she slept for two days straight and when she woke up she realized that she was half fox because of her delusion.

He was worried of her, and she needed to make sure she was alright.

Before Sucrose could actually say goodbye and goodnight, Albedo had to ask something.

—"Sucrose, can I walk home with you?" — Albedo shamelessly asked.

It surely took her by surprise. It wasn't the first time he walked home next to her since he does it when she looks dizzy or strange. And she knew he had other motives behind.

Sucrose accepted his request and they both say goodbye to Timaeus. By his part, he was laughing inwardly at their blindness. How could they not notice...? But whatever.

They walked upstairs to the Knights of Favonius Headquarters, where Jean gave Sucrose a room after the incident some months ago.

In the meanwhile, they were talking about how their day was, and Albedo specifically talked about Klee coming back soon. Sucrose really wanted to meet her and show her the color bombs she made.

They greeted the guards, entered the Headquarters and walked upstairs to the dorms. There, the third door was her room.

Sucrose got her key out of her bag, placed it inside the lock and opened the door to reveal her full-of-plants clean room. She was kinda ashamed of it.

Before leaving, Albedo had to speak once again.

—"Sucrose..." — He stopped her from walking into the room. —"If by any reason you start feeling weird, do not-" — he couldn't finish the sentence.
