Work Text:
Five weeks.
It had been five weeks since Kaeya and his team had left on their field mission and—if the thundering storm outside Albedo’s window was to be believed—they weren’t coming back anytime soon.
Albedo frowned absently at the notes he was writing. The candle beside him flickered and he felt an irrational pang of annoyance at its audacity, letting out a sigh. It was hardly the candle’s fault, of course, but Albedo was having trouble finding out things to justify his poor mood.
He was lucky he had decided to bring his paperwork home today. If he were still in the office with Sucrose, she’d no doubt be worried sick over his irritation. Just earlier, she had recommended he visit Sister Barbara for healing after he’d knocked over several concoctions, claiming that he was “approximately 7.6x more clumsy than usual.”
Albedo had brushed her concerns off then, just as he was doing now. He didn’t know where this restlessness had come from, but he was determined to ignore it. It made no logical sense, after all. Kaeya being gone for lengths of time was nothing abnormal.
Up until recently, he’d been going about his life as normal. He’d spent his days buried in interesting research topics, keeping Klee out of trouble (or rather, bailing her out of trouble), and even got a head start on a couple of drawings for “A Legend of Sword”. About three weeks in, though, he began to feel a strange, unidentifiable feeling, and he was sure it had something to do with Kaeya.
Worry, perhaps? That’s silly, he had nothing to worry about. Kaeya was strong and could take care of himself. Loneliness, then? No… Albedo was surrounded by the most wonderful people, there was no way he could be feeling lonely.
After a while of thought, Albedo concluded that there was no way to understand these emotions other than to ask someone more well-versed. However, when he confronted Lisa about these… new and uncomfortable sensations (symptoms: inability to concentrate, irritation, constant feeling of discomfort), she gave him a Cheshire smile and said she’d give him something that would help.
That “something” was sitting in the neatly packaged box on his bed, given to him with a strict order to open it when he was alone and feeling those strange sensations particularly strongly. He hadn’t opened it, yet every day after that, Lisa had grinned at him each time they met each other’s eyes. Lisa likely only wanted to help, but her strange expression only served to make Albedo more wary of the box.
Snapping out of his reverie, Albedo’s eyes widened as he realized he had written “sweat flowers” instead of “sweet flowers” in his report, and quickly attempted to correct it. As he took out a bottle of ink dissolving solution he had created long ago, he decided that perhaps some rest was in order. He had done all the thinking he could for the day.
Whatever these feelings were, they pushed against his heart and made him feel… incomplete. Needy. And if they had finally gotten to the point where they impacted his work, then…
Albedo eyed the purple box, haphazardly thrown on top of the neatly made bed that Albedo hadn’t slept on in weeks. He recalled Lisa’s orders. He was currently alone (Klee was sleeping over at Diona’s house) and the feeling was as strong as ever. There was no reason to not open the box, at the very least. Perhaps what he needed was not a cure, but a distraction. Knowing Lisa, she most likely provided just that.
Cautiously, Albedo sat on his bed and placed the box on his lap, untying the perfect bow around it and lifting the lid. The first thing that greeted his eyes was a white slip of paper, embellished with Lisa’s loopy handwriting.
“Long-distance can be tough, but it’s not forever! Maybe this new device I made can present a quick fix for you while, ahem, spicing up your love life <3~ - Your dearly beloved, most humble librarian”
Removing the card revealed a peculiar-looking object, a dark blue string of orbs with a palm-sized remote by its side.
Albedo didn’t need to be a genius to figure out that it was an object meant for the… enhancement of the experience of sexual intercourse.
Albedo felt the room heat. It wasn’t that he and Kaeya hadn’t done sexual things with each other, or experimented with other methods of stimuli, but to have Lisa assume that the feeling Albedo was struggling with was sexual desire...
She couldn’t be more wrong, surely?
Part of Albedo wanted to hide the thing away—perhaps return it unused to Lisa, explaining he wasn’t into such things. Yet still, Albedo felt himself transfixed by the novelty the machine presented. How did it work? How would it feel? Would Kaeya like it?
Albedo lost himself in thought. From the beginning until now, Kaeya had always been the one pushing their relationship forward, teaching Albedo new ways to be intimate. Maybe with this, Albedo could be the one initiating things for a change… Albedo steeled his resolve. He would introduce this device to Kaeya upon his return as a surprise.
But if Albedo wanted to be the one to lead Kaeya, there was so much studying to be done, first…
—
Albedo laid on his back, partially undressed and propped on his fluffy pillows. Right now, he was simply conducting a “test run” of Lisa’s device for future reference, so he had simply taken off what was necessary, leaving his shirt unbuttoned and his stockings on.
Despite knowing it was irrational, the thought of doing such a thing without Kaeya around to watch felt scandalous—like he was doing something selfish. Regardless, he shook those thoughts away, analyzing the toy’s silicon make.
‘So this is supposed to go inside me, huh…’ Albedo observed the diameter of each bead. The last one was quite large. ‘I wonder if it’ll be okay..’
Albedo grabbed the lube he had prepared and coated his fingers methodically, making quick work of stretching himself out. It felt strange. Usually, Kaeya was the one doing the preparation, and Albedo couldn’t help but remember how much longer Kaeya’s fingers were than his own.
It wasn’t a particularly pleasurable experience, fingering himself, and some part of Albedo knew it was because this was nothing but an experiment to him. Kaeya always managed to make him forget his analytical side, but alone, there was nothing to stop his mechanical motions.
After he had adequately prepared himself, he used more lubricant to coat the toy before laying back down.
Albedo’s heart thumped loudly in his chest as the situation finally dawned on him. He rarely (i.e. never) pleasured himself. It had always been Kaeya showing him, Kaeya leading, Kaeya watching and ordering and Albedo feeling. Now, alone in his room, Albedo felt shameless. Embarrassed at the thought of how he’d look if someone could see.
It was… exhilarating.
Albedo would need to make note of this later.
Forcing himself to take deep breaths, Albedo began pushing the toy in one bead at a time. It was slightly uncomfortable, and his face heated at the thought of what was happening to him and his mouth fell open. What could he do to make this better for himself, Albedo wondered. What would Kaeya do?
Hesitantly, his free hand went to his nipples, playing with them gently as the next bead stretched him open momentarily. The sensation was strange, and it filled him with arousal. Kaeya wouldn’t stop at toying with his nipples, he would have trailed kisses down Albedo’s chest all the way down to his dick as he pushed the toy in—
Another thicker bead went in a bit too quickly and Albedo gasped. He was hard enough that he wanted to stroke himself badly, but Kaeya wouldn’t have let him, wanting to see if he could come untouched, leaving him all pent up until Albedo begged for more.
Albedo squirmed slightly. Why was Kaeya controlling his actions when he wasn’t even in the room? Hell, Kaeya wasn’t in the city. A part of Albedo screamed to say “to hell with it” and jerk himself off to completion, but the other parts wanted to be good for a Kaeya who hadn’t ordered him to do anything.
Albedo let out a breathy moan as he pushed the last bead into himself with one hand, the stretch painful for only a moment as his hole accomodated the bead’s diameter.
For a moment, Albedo laid there breathing softly. Kaeya would... Kaeya would sit in between Albedo’s spread legs and shamelessly admire the view of Albedo filled with the toy and gasping for breath at just the sensation of the beads rubbing his insides as he shifted around.
Albedo’s dick twitched at the thought of Kaeya’s expression. Would it be a mixture of adoration and awe? Perhaps Kaeya would be feeling a bit cruel and give him that condescending smirk as he teased Albedo’s by tugging gently on the toy’s wire? Albedo tugged on the wire experimentally and gasped as a bead rubbed against his prostate. He squirmed a little, but that just made the contact worse.
Albedo was desperate now. He opened his eyes, glazed over from arousal, reaching for the forgotten piece of Lisa’s gift. The strange remote. The blue device had a switch that could be pushed to various amounts, but had no labels. Hardly thinking, Albedo shoved the switch as far as it could go.
It was like he had been shocked, and he dropped the remote instantly. Each bead inside him began vibrating harshly and Albedo let out a surprised wail, tears forcing themselves out of his eyes at the overwhelming pleasure assaulting him.
The bead resting against his sweet spot pulsed relentlessly, sending waves upon waves of heat through his body. Too much. It was all far too much and Albedo couldn’t think of anything but the fire in his groin, the tears streaming down his face—and those noises… were they really coming from him? It all sounded so obscene, and he pressed his hand to his mouth to muffle the sound.
The other hand blindly and frantically tried to grab the remote again to turn off the vibration but he stopped. Kaeya wouldn’t turn it off at this point, would he? Kaeya would.. Kaeya would…
Albedo spread his legs further apart and grasped onto the sheets like his life depended on it, closing his eyes tightly and imagining Kaeya pinning him down. Kaeya running his hands over Albedo’s chest and waist. Kaeya leaning down and whispering into Albedo’s ear in that low lilting voice of his as he stroked himself.
“Look at yourself”
“You’re doing so well”
“You’re so gorgeous, my dear Chief Alchemist”
Already close, Albedo flipped himself over so his ass was in the air, reaching behind to slip a shaky finger inside himself alongside the toy. The feeling of fullness was so good, and the new angle sent the vibrations through his whole body. He imagined it was all Kaeya, repeating his name like a mantra.
Ah, if only— if only Kaeya were truly here. This was his fault after all, for leaving Albedo so suddenly. Albedo wouldn’t have become like this if Kaeya would just come home already…
“Kaeya, Kaeya— Ah! Kaeya please, aah, pleaseplea—”
“You called?”
…
Huh?
Albedo’s eyes shot open and he was met with diamond eyes squinted into a mischievous smile.
“Ah… w-wait, what are—?” Albedo felt the blood rush to his face as he flipped over and clumsily fumbled for the remote. Ah, shit, where did he drop it this cannot be happening—
“Looking for this?” Kaeya leisurely stepped over to the bedside and bent over, scooping the remote up from where it had apparently fallen to the ground.
Albedo struggled to make himself less exposed and save some dignity, but Kaeya hadn’t turned down the vibration and if he moved too much he’d…
“You know,” Kaeya teased, “I was supposed to surprise you when I returned home early, but this is so much better…”
Finally, Kaeya took mercy and turned down the vibrator, allowing Albedo to clear his mind. “You’re always full of surprises, my dear Chief Alchemist.”
Albedo remained silent, burying his head into one of the pillows now that he could move more freely. His heart raced. Shame and humiliation burned at his ears and cheeks, but it was Kaeya. Kaeya was here, and Albedo was always safe to be undignified with him.
As if sensing Albedo’s unrest, Kaeya leaned in to kiss Albedo’s head, running a soothing hand down Albedo’s thigh, but still wearing that mischievous grin. “Would you mind terribly much if I joined in?”
Yes, Albedo was safe with Kaeya. Albedo smiled into his pillow and mumbled, just loud enough for Kaeya to hear, “please.”
——
Kaeya leaned over Albedo, resting in between the blonde’s legs just as Albedo had imagined moments prior. After ensuring that Albedo was good to continue, Kaeya had stripped out of his clothes at a pace Albedo had never seen before. He’d kept vibrator remained on a low setting that only became an issue when Albedo moved and it nudged his prostate.
“You know, if I didn’t know you any better, I would have thought you wanted me to catch you,” Kaeya rasped, as he rubbed circles into Albedo’s thigh and leaned down so his face nuzzled against Albedo’s neck, “You know you look sexy in nothing your shirt and thigh-highs, right? It’s like you did it just for me.”
“I .. I didn’t know...” Albedo said, still embarrassed at having been caught, but also overwhelmingly happy that Kaeya was here. He let out a quiet whine when Kaeya began nipping and licking at his neck.
“The toy also suits you well, did you get it in blue because it reminded you of me?” Kaeya teased, tugging the toy’s wire, causing Albedo to jolt.
“No… “ Deep breaths, “this was-aaah!” Kaeya began tugging out the toy in earnest, and Albedo’s eyes rolled back in pleasure as each bead slipped out with a lewd noise. Oh god, at this rate, Albedo would—
“Kaeya, I…!” Albedo gasped out.
“Not yet.” Kaeya demanded.
And so Albedo wrapped his arms around Kaeya, hanging on for dear life as the beads rubbed against his already-sensitized walls. Kaeya seemed to enjoy watching Albedo’s reactions, sometimes adding in random tugs and sending vibrations through Albedo’s body. It was torture and heaven all at once, and finally…
“Kaeya, you’re…” Albedo shuddered as the final bead was removed. “…such a sadist.”
Kaeya laughed a hearty laugh as he observed the toy, impressed with its size. So Albedo had that in him this whole time? The thought sent heat straight to his dick. Not missing another beat, Kaeya slowly lubed his fingers up as Albedo watched, wishing he’d just get on with it already. Once Kaeya finished, however, all three fingers were pushed into Albedo at once, causing Albedo to gasp.Kaeya curled his fingers around, as if he was testing the feeling.
“You’re already so loose for me, huh. So wet and sensitive.” Kaeya whispered.
“Kaeya, don’t— don’t tease me, please, just…” Albedo trailed off, eyes dazed in a way Kaeya hadn’t seen before.
Kaeye didn’t need to be told twice, he removed his fingers abruptly with a lewd pop, rubbing the copious excess lube on his dick and lining it up. Lovingly, he laced his finger with Albedo’s before pinning the alchemist’s hands to the mattress as he began to push in.
There was less resistance than usual, the stretch from the anal beads leaving Albedo quite loose already. Even so, Kaeya’s cock was larger than the toy, and Kaeya could hear Albedo inhaling and exhaling slowly as he adjusted to the new size and shape.
“You’re taking me so well,” Kaeya praised, reveling in how Albedo’s hole twitched at his words. He stayed like that for a moment, taking in the sight. Albedo, however, found his patience for Kaeya’s slow pace waning.
“If that’s the case,” Albedo rolled his hips sharply, and Kaeya flinched at the sensation. “Move, Sir Kaeya.” Albedo demanded. The shame from before was forgotten in place of sheer desire, and Albedo met Kaeya’s eyes, blue on blue.
With a gentle smile uncharacteristic for the scene, Kaeya pulled out slowly, and then he thrust back in once. Albedo, indignant at the slow pace, opened his mouth to urge Kaeya to go faster, harder, give him more.
He didn’t have time to say a word before Kaeya began fucking him in earnest. Instantly, all the arousal Albedo had built up until now, all the time he had spent so close to release, returned. His hands struggled against Kaeya’s weight, wanting to latch onto something to keep him grounded. To keep Kaeya here and close and never leave again please. Hands still held down, Albedo settled instead for wrapping his legs around Kaeya's waist, driving each thrust deeper into him.
“Kaeya- I’m-! I’m so, so close,” Albedo babbled, tears of pleasure and happiness and something unexplainable streaming down his face, “I’m going to… please let me—“
“Yeah…” Kaeya rasped, breathlessly, and nothing more needed to be said.
Kaeya pressed their lips together, and the sensation is too much. Albedo’s whole body tensed around Kaeya, and he releases, Kaeya following soon after.
—-
“‘bedo…” Kaeya gave his lover a small shove. “Come on. We have to clean up.”
“...”
“Are you still embarrassed that I caught you ma—“
“Don’t say it!” Albedo groaned, pressing his palms over his eyes.
Kaeya let out a laugh full of adoration, the type that always made Albedo melt.
“Well if you give me prior notice I’ll be sure to keep my next business trip as long as possible.” Kaeya joked, poking Albedo’s cheek, “I would hate to interrupt you and imaginary Kaeya twice in a row.”
“Don’t—” Albedo shot up at that, panic on his face before he met Kaeya’s eye and caught the joking lilt to his voice. He slumped against Kaeya’s chest, too tired to hold himself up properly. “I hate imaginary Kaeya.” Albedo said, a bit petulantly.
“Oh?”
“He can do lots of things—rather, I can do lots of things to myself, but I can’t…”
Kaeya would really love to see Albedo's face right now.
“I can’t kiss myself.” Albedo blushed to his ears. “I can’t cuddle with myself, I can’t shove myself awake to clean up after sex.”
Oh.
“I want to do these things with you. These past weeks I’ve found that you’ve become a crucial aspect of my life. I become.. strange when you aren’t around. It’s hard to focus, I worry over nothing... I feel alone even when surrounded by people.”
Oh.
“So... make sure to return as soon as possible.”
Kaeya wrapped his arms tightly around Albedo, pulling him in for a crushing hug.
“I’m never leaving again.” Kaeya stated.
“What?!” Albedo attempted to sit up but Kaeya’s arms held him to his chest. “Kaeya—“
“I’m never leaving again.” He said again, resolved.
“I hope you’re not going to avoid your job to—”
“I’m never leaving you again, and if I do, I’ll wrap up the job so fast you won’t know even I’m gone.”
Albedo let out a breath of a laugh, voice hoarse and quiet. “Don’t rush it, Kaeya.” his eyes strayed to the purple ribbon laying on the floor. “Lisa gives excellent advice for when you’re away.”
