It was 11:32 am. Albedo was practically rethinking his life choices. Why? Maybe because he's desperate to send that one photo to his secret crush that is in his photo gallery for a long time now.
"C'mon Albedo just send it, it's just a harmless photo." Aether complained. "That is not helping me Aether." Albedo spat back. He only had his best friend with him right now because, to begin, he was one of the closest people with his crush(because of his bf yk) and second, he needed his support.
But, who was his secret crush? Well, technically it's not all secret since clearly everyone in his class knows who. His secret crush is the one and only Adeptus Xiao. They first met through an accident in the chemistry lab but that's not the case. He was sure that every moment spent with him he could feel his heart beat faster than it was before.
This was the perfect time to confess his feelings anyway, except the fact he's from a long distance from where Xiao is. Though they're not so close as they think they are but they enjoy each other's company. Then again, he was also scared to ruin his relationship with him just because he said he loved him.
"Albedo it's already 11:54 alreadyyy..." His best friend whined next to him. '11:54 already..? How long had I been thinking..?' The ash blonde thought to himself. "Albedo, are you gonna send it or not?!" The blonde questioned him. "Geez, Aether calm down I will send it, I uh just need to recollect my thou-" Interrupted by his sentence, Aether already took his phone from his hand.
*Ding!*
"There you go, already sent and just in time too" He returned his phone with a mischief look on his face. Albedo hurriedly snatched his phone and checked his messages. As quick as he could as he tried to write a message.
12:00 am
Albedo
Merry Christmas
Xiao
Merry Christmas to you too
A quick and bland response. Should he bother asking him about the photo? Does he like him back? Or does he-
12:03 am
Xiao
Ah and also about the photo, could probably give me some time to think about it?
Albedo
Ah sure, ofc
Huh, so maybe he didn't really ignore it. I guess it really wouldn't hurt if he gave him some time think, but for now this Christmas is for him to spend even without him by his side.
