AFTER saying goodbye to everyone it was finally just you and albedo. walking home together the sun was beginning to set, covering the landscape in an orange hue. you had to confess today. it was now or never. though finding the perfect time was the problem
while walking home you saw that the playground was empty since most children would be at home by now. ironically, it was the park where you went with klee after you met her for the first time. such time had passed since then, now she thinks of you like an older sister
y/n
"hey we should go to that playground"
"i don't really wanna go home just yet"
albedo
"sure, me neither"
opening the gates and entering the playground a sense of nostalgia washed over you, it had been ages since you stepped in here, let alone played in one as well. letting out a small laugh the inner kid in you came out as you dropped your bag on the floor and ran towards the climbing frame
seeing you do this, albedo slightly laughed as well and soon followed you, placing his belongings down beside yours
the two of you played around for sometime. you played a game of tag where you were convinced that albedo was purposely letting himself get tagged by you, but you chose to not point it as if you did, you'd never be able to lay a hand on him if he started playing properly

[7:10pm]
the sun had now fully set and the stars were beginning to come out, it was a clear sky so you could see all the visible constellations. sitting on the swings with albedo to the right swinging back and fourth slightly, you looked towards the stars and took in a deep breath
y/n
"it's been a while since i've been here"
albedo
"feels nice letting loose after all these stressful weeks"
y/n
"mhm we finally made it"
albedo
"oh yeah i forgot to ask before, did you cope alright with everything overall?"
"i hope it wasn't too stressful with what happened before our exams
y/n
"oh- um- yeah it was alright haha"
"i managed fairly ok? i think"
"i mean i managed to make it into the top three so i'm guessing it went well"
albedo
"you even beat me haha"
"i'm glad you were able to come back from a low point, it takes a lot of strength to do something like that"
"though it seems like you don't need me anymore"
y/n
"huh? of course i need you"
"...i need us..."
"because i..."
"i like you... albedo"
"//ᴀ ʟᴏᴛ ᴀᴄᴛᴜᴀʟʟʏ//"
albedo
"wait... really?"
*give this man a few seconds he's processing what you just said to him
albedo
"well..."
"i like you too, y/n"
y/n
"OH THANK HEAVENS, GOD I WAS ABOUT TO EVAPORATE"
albedo
"looks like you're about to with how flustered you are right now"
y/n
"like you're not flushed red either"
albedo
"besides the point"
"though you did confess before me"
y/n
"too bad you took too long~"
albedo
"haha looks like i did"
"i was actually going to confess to you when we were on that one ride in the theme park right when the camera took the picture, but i wasn't sure of the timing"
y/n
"EH? REALLY?"
albedo
"kidding, i was planning for our graduation"
"looks like you beat me to it"
y/n
"ARGHHHHHH I DID ITTT"
"i feel so free i've been keeping that in for ages"
albedo
"i could tell"
"though i do wonder what the others are going to say when they find out about this"
y/n
"they're so going to freak out"
"bet hutaos going to cry"
albedo
"cant place a bet if we both agree on the outcome"
y/n
"pfft i can just imagine her sobbing on the floor"
albedo
"ajax would join her too"
y/n
"BHAHA HE SO WOULD"
albedo
"well then, we should get going, it's starting to get late now"
y/n
"let's"
standing up from the swing, albedo offered his hand to help you up in which you accepted. swiftly pulling your arm back, you leaned forward and gave him a quick kiss on the lips before letting go to grab your bags
y/n
"looks like you're about to evaporate now muahah"
albedo
"of course i would when you do that out of nowhere"
y/n
"hmmm might start doing that more often then"
albedo
"looks like i'll have to match up to you then"
y/n
"what-"
"AHHH WHATEVER let's gooOoOOOoOOoo"
hand in hand the two of you made your way back home together, talking about various topics and laughing about how tragic your first attempt in confessing ended up being.
meeting your eyes with his, you could see how brightly they shined in the moonlight. no doubt it was the brightest you've ever seen them. it was simply beautiful.
on the other hand, albedo appreciated yours just as much, he noticed how they would sparkle when you were talking about something you were passionate about, or when you were eating really good food.
just like you, he also noticed how the same sparkle was in your eyes right now. it was one of the things he loved the most about you, it was something he cherished so much that he would give up the entire world just to see it once more, even just for a second.
