sub! Albedo x Dom! GN! Reader
Warnings: not sfw, edging, first time, fingering, anal sex, long dialogs discussing metaphysics of human connection. Cock stands for cock\strap as usual.
A\N: very soft, almost didn’t want to tag as as dom! reader, but the dynamic is specifically pronounced. but give it a try even if you’re just into bottom Albedo.
- Albedo might seem like cold and disaffected, but that’s mostly Neurodivergency ™
- He’s extremely introverted and demi, he’s usually not interested in people at all and so comes off as curt and rude
- But rarely, if he does form a connection, he very much quietly and intensely hyperfixates on it
- “I used to think interaction with others was a waste of time. But after meeting you, I’d rather spend my time on you than other matters.”
- As you can tell from the quote and his general interaction with the traveler, he’s pretty open about his interest. Albedo has a mix of very quiet, shy social awkwardness in some situations, and almost clinically shameless directness in others.
- He’s lonely, but he wants very specifically someone who can see and understand him for what he is without flinching, and the people for whom the nature of his artificial creation would not change their demeanor towards him is who he tends to latch on.
- While normally very precise and methodical, he can throw logic and principles out of the window when it comes to the person he really likes.
- Like remember the last dragonspine event where he turned into an absolute spineless mush in order to fix traveler’s ugly doodle without actually admitting that it’s ugly.
- They even specifically spelled out his thoughts to show that he does think it’s ugly, while he’s muttering out loud “no, its uh great, i mean i can maybe add a few embellishments if you would like me too”.
- He becomes clingy, but in an extremely introverted way. He would not initiate contact, but he’d aggressively, though in a very roundabout-way hint that he would like your presence (his story quests, esp the last scene of the latest dragonspine event)
- And when you do choose to spend time with him, he’s very open about how he doesn’t really care what you do, as long as you’re together, and that he would like to prolong that time.
- He’s also very straightforward about letting you decide and following the lead after he’s already realized he’s into you
- “Would you like to have a chat with me?
- Albedo: Certainly. Uh… I will let you decide the topic of our conversation.”
- (again, the fucking second-hand embarrassment horror of the last dragospine event’s painting lesson)
- “Heh, where should I begin…? In your company, I never lack inspiration”
- “By the way, after we’re done. may I have the pleasure of inviting you to dessert with me? To continue our time together, and to thank you for your company.”
- Albedo is not an easy, quick fun type, he’s a long time, deep investment only. But in return, he’s very curious and open to experiments, doesn’t have any societal prejudices, very accepting of other ppl’s oddities, artistic, deep-feeling, imaginative, with a quiet, but intense need for acceptance and praise.
- He obviously won’t be loud and expressive, but if he’s your type, effort spent on him can be very rewarding, he is the case where you can give the lightest touch and see it ripple through him like a hurricane.
It happens on a seemingly normal evening while you two are drinking tea with desserts in your room. Albedo tells you about his latest research project, or, if more precisely, about how Cyrus from the Adventurers Guild keeps interrupting it with his inane training activities on Dragonspine. For someone who doesn’t know him, he’d sound just politely dry, but you can read sarcastic exasperation in his tone, so you laugh and sympathetically pat his arm. It’s a fairly innocuous gesture, but he suddenly freezes. You immediately take your hand away and apologize, remembering that he isn’t a very physical person, but he shakes his head, says that it’s okay. But when he tries to get back to his story, he’s clearly distracted and still thrown off balance, so you try to clear the air by promising to not do it again.
“No, I’m not displeased. On the contrary,” he says, throwing you an inquisitive glance askew. “It’s a somewhat interesting development on a… matter that’s been perplexing me for some time.”
