General relationship headcannons with Albedo
↳Albedo isn’t one that’s much for showing interest and emotions (unless it’s about alchemy or if you’re an anomaly (not in a bad way)), so don’t expect hit off well with him if you guys just randomly bumped into each other.
↳Since Albedo is a rather reserved person, I don’t think he’d be all much for chattering with people, as he’s mostly cooped up in his lab testing new things out.
↳You’d most likely approach him first. Not gonna lie, I think he’d be more interested in you if you were an outlander, or if you’re also a person who’s interested in alchemy.
↳Becoming friends with him might take a while, so please be patient. Considering the blonde man is so dedicated to his experiments, he’d probably often pass so much time in his lab he forgets to tend to his own needs.
↳So at the beginning, you’ll probably often try to convince him to take a break, or for him to go sleep.
↳Sometimes, if it’s a more important and urgent matter for him, you’d brew him some coffee hopefully he wouldn’t drop something in it and bid him luck for his research.
↳The more you visit him at the lab, the more familiar you become with his personality.
↳Albedo seems like someone aloof at first, maybe even distant and cold, but as you get to know him, he gets warmer and kinder to you.
↳Bonus point if you are close to Klee, you might both start babysitting her together.
↳Imagine Klee considers you an older sister/mother figure and plays house with you and Albedo,,,,,
↳You would go from asking him to take a break, to scolding him about not having a healthy habit.
↳He might often sigh in exasperation at your antics to get him to take a breather, but please don’t stop, he truly appreciates how concerned you are for him.
↳Eventually, he’ll start looking forward to your visits at his laboratory, the corner of his lips would slightly tug up in amusement upon hearing your berating about him not taking care of himself.
↳I think you’d be the first one to catch feelings though, considering Albedo would probably catch feelings for you a bit later due to the fact he doesn’t experience strong emotions often.
↳Albedo would start feeling slightly tense/nervous when you’re around, he’d start unconsciously making more time for you in his life. His walls were wrecking down ever since he befriended you. Butterflies would fly around in his stomach. He feels a bit of happiness swell in his heart whenever you’re around.
↳I don’t know why but I could see Albedo asking Kaeya or Lisa about his feelings. They’ll either tell him the truth or beat around the bush till he realizes. Although you can bet they’ll definitely be smug about the aloof alchemist of Mondstadt falling in love with one of their citizens.
↳Albedo is an intelligent person, I wouldn’t doubt he’d wait to identify the signs his feelings are returned before actually confessing. Story to not have to live a heartbreak if you didn’t end up feeling the same way.
↳To identify your feelings, he’d probably do subtle gestures like if you were reading in the library, he might rest his chin on your shoulder and look at what you’re reading, or maybe hold your hand to see your reaction.
↳(I feel like his hands would be slightly rough from the amount of experiments he’s conducted and the fact he has sword wielding skills, but they’d be very firm and warm, so comfortable to hold...)
↳When he eventually is almost certain his feelings are mutual to yours, he’d probably start to think of how to confess to you, but meanwhile that is happening, I can also see Albedo being a small tease and purposely fluster you just to see your bashful/embarrassed face.
↳I don’t think he’d make a huge event of a whole set up just for the confession though. He’ll probably be more straightforward about his feelings and when you’re alone in a more private place then a public place.
↳Unless you beat him to confessing I could see you confessing while he’s surprised and maybe flustered but would nonetheless return your feelings.
↳Albedo is a generally busy man, so making time for you would be hard but he’s trying his best <3
↳Physical contact is something you’ll both have to get used to, but I do think you’ll both start enjoyed affection like dropping a chaste kiss on each other’s foreheads or cheeks, holding hands, hugs.
↳So at first, it’d be mostly verbal love with sweet sweet words of love.
↳Your most peaceful moments are when you’re both at a secluded place with an air of comfort, or when you’re cuddling snd sleeping together. Since those are the moments you’re sure to be able to spend together.
↳I can see you wanting to accompany him when he has to go out of Mondstadt to collect items for his research. He may not want to at first feeling concerned for your safety so please don’t be hurt or discouraged if he shuts you down.
↳His trips can vary from a few hours to a few days.
↳But when he comes back, he always makes sure to catch up with you and would greet you with a soft kiss on the forehead and a fond smile.
I never had much interest in Albedo before but I read quite a bit after learning about my friend’s interest in him.
He really hit me as a character who I somewhat relate to, so I tried to write out something for him ( ﾟヮﾟ)
