Work Text:
The first time they met, it was because the Traveler accepted a commission near Minyun village, Aether was on his way when he came across Adeptus Xiao who, at that time, was on his nightly duty protecting Liyue. The said Adeptus offered to escort the Traveler to the village since he doesn’t sense any more danger in the area. Once they safely arrive at the village, Aether notices a very familiar ash-blond talking with one of the village residents, but only a seconds passed when he saw that the ash-blond is now waving his hand to bid farewell to the old man, and is already on its way to the path of the snowy mountain, Aether run towards the familiar figure and taps its shoulder to get the attention
“Fancy meeting you here, Chief Alchemist Albedo” Aether grins
The said Alchemist looks back alarmed but immediately relaxes as he recognized the face who called him “Yes, fancy indeed” Albedo flashes back a serene smile towards the Traveler, then his teal eyes meet with a piercing amber that comes from the mysterious young man a few inches away from the Traveler’s back.
Aether notices the stares so he takes a step to the side to introduced them to each other
“Xiao, this is Albedo, Chief Alchemist and a Captain of the Ordo Favonius” Aether lifted a hand to the other as he continues with the introduction “—and Albedo, this is Adeptus Xiao, he’s here to help with my commissions in Liyue”
Albedo bows his head a little, a simple greeting in Liyue that was taught to him by his author friend “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Adeptus Xiao” His teal eyes sparkles with excitement and curiosity as he looks back at the said Adeptus. It’s not every day that he’ll get a chance to meet one of the Geo Archon’s well-known Adeptus.
Xiao, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, just nodded once and chose to stay silent, but his amber eyes never left the Alchemist as the Traveler talks to him for a bit, until they bid their farewell and the Alchemist walks back to the direction of Dragonspine.
The second time they meet, Xiao has to fight the Primo Geovishap because a certain Alchemist chose to roam around its hidden lair, looking for Archon-knows-what, as the beast had woken up from its slumber and is ready to attack anytime Albedo makes a move.
Albedo slowly backs away, creating enough distance for him to have a chance to use his Solar Isotoma and escape, but the Primo Geovishap doesn’t have patience so it swiftly attacked with its claw, making Albedo jumps to the side to avoid getting hit but the impact of the claw to the ground made him stumble, Albedo immediately prepares for the next attack as he watches the Primo Geovishap produces an elemental power through its breath and is aimed towards him, but the attack didn’t happen as a strong gust of wind coming from above, strikes the Primo Geovishap continuously until it was on the ground unmoving.
The Alchemist was lucky enough that the Adeptus just happened to be in the area at that time, coming from an assembly with the other Adepti.
“Please forgive my foolishness Adeptus Xiao, I didn’t mean to cause any trouble” Albedo says as he offers a dessert prepared by the inn’s chef, where he’s currently staying for the meantime while he’s on a research trip in Liyue. “—And thank you for saving me” Good thing he remembered the Traveler mentioning something about a dessert as offering to the Adeptus residing on the top of Wangshuu Inn.
Xiao senses no regrets in the other’s words but the hint of playfulness in those voice is not unwelcomed, and since the Alchemist is a friend of the Traveler, he might let this incident slide just this once—and besides, the faint scent that the other unknowingly emanates, gives out a calming effect to him.
Xiao doesn’t actually care much about the secondary gender since that kind of information isn’t important to a Yaksha who is conquering demons every now and then, and he has a full grasp of his senses when in rut—one of the perks of having an Adepti blood per se. But lately after he met the Alchemist and got a whiff of the other’s distinct scent that reminds him of honey and cecilia, Xiao had the sudden urge to put the Alchemist on his list of people he chose to protect and be on his radar at all times.
“Has anyone told you not to stare at a person while it's eating?” Xiao places the tablespoon down on the table once he is done and looks up at the Alchemist who takes the seat in front of him
“A few did actually” Albedo replied, now wearing his usual impassive face “I didn't mean to be rude, my apologies if it made you uncomfortable, but I can’t help to wonder as to why of all the food available, this is the one you like”
Xiao just stares back for a few seconds before sighing and standing up from his seat
“It’s already getting late, go back inside Alchemist” The Adeptus vanished along with the blowing wind, leaving Albedo with his growing list of questions for the Adeptus.
The third time they meet, there is a heavy rain in Qingyun Peak and Albedo was stranded under a large tree that is doing a pretty awful job of shielding him from the continuous falling raindrops, his clothes are soaked and hefty, and the feeling of an unwanted warmth inside him doesn’t help on the situation he’s in right now.
Seated and curled up on the muddy ground, Albedo also felt a growing uneasiness between his legs, and he already have an inkling on what will soon happen to him; but really, as an artificial human, he never expected that he will experience his first rut at this god forsaken time.
Albedo waited for a few minutes for the rain to stop but the dark clouds above still looks heavy, dismissing his thought of searching for a private place where he could spend his rut—speaking of the incoming rut, Albedo bit his lower lip that it already bleeds, just so he could wake and stop his hand from reaching down to his growing bulge and masturbate in the open
“I knew something was amiss” A voice above him made Albedo jerked up from his internal struggle and alarmingly looks up to the person standing in front of him
“Adeptus Xiao...” Albedo whispered
The Adeptus stares down as he observes the situation, before offering a hand for the other to take “Stand up and come with me, this is not a place for an Alpha to have his rut”
Albedo stares at the offered hand and smiles weakly “About that, my legs fell asleep from staying on this position for too long, so standing up on my own would be a challenge”
Xiao nodded in understanding and moved to stand beside the Alchemist, he got down on one knee and reached for the body and hoisted it up, placing an arm under those numbed legs and the other arm to support the Alpha’s back. Xiao looks down at the stunned Alchemist before using his Anemo vision to teleport them with the wind.
“This is Moon Carver’s realm, it’s the nearest for you to spend your rut” Xiao walk towards the realm’s seal as he explains more reason why of all places, he chose to bring Albedo to an Adeptus realm “I won’t recommend the inn, a lot of visitor stays there at this time, your scent might create an uproar” They stop just in front of Moon Carver’s realm entrance and Xiao closes his eyes, Albedo watches the seal glows before it dispersed and the realm opens for them “Hm, Moon Carver gave us his permission to stay until your rut ends” Xiao said as they entered, revealing to Albedo a new world that he will want to explore if the circumstances let him.
Xiao carefully puts the Alchemist down to a makeshift bed that looks more like a nest and sits at the edge as he examines the restless Alpha, who avoids his gaze by looking at somewhere else except on his direction
“I presume you already know what to do starting from here” Xiao stands up and prepares to give the Alchemist the privacy he needs, but the next sentence the other had spoken stops him from walking away
“This is my first rut” Albedo squirms under the Adeptus’ stares, and tries to hide the growing bulge by using his coat, as he failed on covering it with his hands “I’ve read books about this from the library at the Ordo but firsthand experience is very different”
Silence surrounds the realm as they look at each other awkwardly, Xiao was the first to break the contact and sighs “If you’re asking for help, just get to the point” He pinches the bridge of his nose before giving an order “Take your clothes off and lie down, I’ll get something outside for you to eat and replenish”
“Huh?”
“You’ll get sick with that drenched clothes, your body won’t be able to take the rut’s heat if you get yourself a fever” Xiao snapped at Albedo before he vanished.
Alone at the realm, Albedo took his time on removing his soaked uniform away from his warm body, and placed it to the side to let it dry, once naked and nothing to hide from the world, he sits curled up again in the middle of the bed, and waited for the Adeptus’ return.
After a few minutes, Xiao arrives with fruits and a couple of eggs and meat in hand, he places them at the far side of the bed since there’s no table available. He then vanishes again but comes back early with jars of water.
Albedo fidgets on his place and perks up when Xiao finally called for his attention
“I would like to make things clear and maybe take this as a warning, Alchemist” Xiao takes off his shoulder shield along with his other accessories, before proceeding to remove his white sleeveless shirt “I don’t have power to what might happen if we continue this, so right now, I’m giving you a choice if you want to stop and spend your rut on your own, as they way it should be, or you’ll spend it with me and face the unknown consequences” Xiao’s piercing amber eyes bores into Albedo, making the other shiver from excitement and fear at the same time
“You know I’ll pick the latter”
Albedo didn’t have much time to react as the Adeptus suddenly appeared in front of him with a growl “You’re too much of a risk taker, your curiosity knows no bound, someday you’ll get yourself in trouble because of this bad habit of yours” Without warning, Xiao spreads the legs and gets a hold of the Alchemist’s cock, he gives it an experimental stroke, making Albedo to let out a strangled moan “This is how you will do yourself until you reach your height of pleasure” Xiao hotly whispers as he continues to stroke the leaking cock of the Alpha, and watching Albedo slowly surrenders to hedonism.
Albedo for the first time, felt something building up inside of him as the Adeptus continued with his ministration, his hands tried to slow down the fast pace of the stroke, holding the Adeptus’ wrist, but Xiao kept on swatting his hand away. The beads of cum start to leak from his slit, sliding down to the base and smears at the hand that holds him. Albedo knew that he will soon make his first release so he tries to warn
“I’m...I’m close hah..” He announced with a whine but Xiao just hums back a reply.
Not knowing what to do next, and without a proper knowledge on the feeling of ejaculating, Albedo tries to stop the Adeptus’ hand by trying to close his legs but the other gets a hold on one of his thighs, stopping him from doing so
“Ah! Xi-Xiao!” Albedo cries out as his body trembles from intensely cumming non-stop, spurting his white seeds on both of his stomach and the Adeptus’ hand.
Xiao leans back to give the Alpha a space to collect itself, as the other tries to calm his body down from high
“That’s the only thing you need to do, when you’re in rut, unless you have an Omega to spend it with” Xiao tries to stand up but the Alchemist reached for his wrist and pulls him down, his back presses on the bed as the Alpha hovers on top of him, breathing hard and low. Xiao’s eyes darted to the fang that finally reveals, then up to the glowing teal eyes with dilated pupils
“So the Alpha in you finally takes over your senses” Xiao lets the Alchemist takes his pants off, and watches with a smirk plastered on his face as the Alpha tries to align his still leaking hard cock to his entrance “You know, I haven’t told you what my secondary gender is...”
A sudden weighty scent of almond and obsidian fills the air around them, making the Alpha above him halt on what he was supposed to do. Xiao takes that as an opportunity to flip their position but this time, the Alchemist is lying on his stomach, while Xiao leans his weight on the other’s back and his hot breath brushes the skin as he speaks directly on the sensitive scent gland located at the back of the Alpha’s neck
“A recessive Alpha like you, bows down to the dominant ones” He teases a kiss on the sensitive gland, striking a fear on the other Alpha below
Albedo lets out a growl as he tries to get away from the dominant Alpha that is securely holding him down
“There is another way for you to experience great pleasure, Albedo”
At the sound of his name being mentioned by the Adeptus for the first time, Albedo stops from squirming, and listens to what the dominant Alpha would tell
“This only works, if you are willing to submit...” Xiao traces the recessive Alpha’s back as he slides his fingers down to Albedo’s hole, circling the puckered rosy rim gently “I could turn you into my Omega and give you pleasure an Alpha could never experience”
Albedo looks back and was met with an intense shining golden orbs
“H-how will you?” He asked as his senses slowly returns to him and curiosity to new knowledge takes over
Xiao gathers the tousled ash-blond hair to his hand, exposing more of the recessive Alpha’s scent gland and sniffs the faint scent “There are things that are not written in books to preserve a balance” He peppered some kisses on the back of the Alchemist’s shoulder, earning a sweet moan
“Balance you say? Show me then” Albedo provoked as he glowers back at the Adeptus “If its only submission for me to earn new knowledge especially taught by an Adeptus, then I’ll do it” He felt a ghost of a smirk touches his scent gland as Xiao places a kiss before the hand that plays with the rim of his hole, slide towards his stomach, to get some of the remaining cum, then back to his hole where he felt the sticky substance coating his entrance
“Last chance to reassess your answer, Albedo, this isn’t an experiment where you can start over anytime”
“Then we’ll both take responsibility from our mistake” Albedo flashes a challenging smirk
Xiao scoffs at the other’s bold answer “Of course” Then he inserts a cum coated finger without warning on the Alchemist’s entrance, making the recessive Alpha yelped in surprise
“Shh…relax Albedo, I can feel the contractions of your walls with this single finger” The Adeptus’ leans back and fixes the Alchemist’s position, by raising the plump ass in the air for a better view. Xiao tries to add another finger but felt the cum wasn’t enough as lube “Albedo, get in all four” He ordered
Albedo nodded and complied, as soon as he’s on the requested position, he felt a moist muscle wriggle its way in his hole, he gasped and immediately looked back to check what it was. His jaw dropped open as he saw the Adeptus’ face behind his ass, doing its wonder with his talented tongue
“Dear Archons!” The weight Albedo put on his elbows weakens as he couldn’t watch the obscene view anymore, he then hides his reddening face within his arms from embarrassment as the feeling and the idea of his hole being eaten by the renowned Adeptus Xiao flashes in his mind
Making sure the hole is fully coated by his saliva, Xiao licked his own two fingers to coat it too, before inserting it back to the now wet entrance. His fingers scissors inside, preparing the Alchemist for his cock while also looking for the bundle of nerves that he is sure will make Albedo moan his name louder.
It didn’t take time for the Adeptus’ to get the reaction he wanted as Albedo’s sudden buck of his hips and groans when he touches a gland inside indicates that his fingers hit the right spot. Xiao continued to abuse the same spot with his fingers, making the Alchemist cry out his name, and for the second time, Albedo had another trembling release.
Albedo felt his weakened body being man-handled, making him sit up on the Adeptus lap, legs spread with the said man in between, and felt hands takes its place at both side of his hips as Xiao leads him to rise up a little from the lap and offers comfort “Just try to relax and breathe”
Albedo, still in the state of calming down, didn’t quite catch what the Adeptus had told him until he felt something big poked his hole and tried to get in. His inner Alpha tries to fight the penetration, growling at the pain he’s experiencing right now, while in the process of being teared apart.
Albedo’s hands searches for something to hold on to, so he placed his shaking hands on the Adeptus’ broad shoulders and helps himself sinks into the other’s hard cock just to end the prolonging discomfort
“You’re doing great, Albedo” Xiao tries to coax him to relax but the searing pain is too much for the other Alpha
“Xiao!" Albedo cries out, tears fall down his flushed cheeks “No—no more...” He sobs while leaning his forehead to the Adeptus’ shoulder
Xiao halts and looks down to check on their progress, and sees that Albedo is almost close to taking all of him, the smudge of blood on his cock coming from the Alchemist didn’t go unnoticed, but that didn’t stopped Xiao from his goal to turn the recessive Alpha into his Omega mate
“Albedo look at me” Using his mellifluous voice while drawing comforting circles with his thumb on the other’s quivering hips, Xiao kisses the sweaty temple of the Alchemist and whispers sweet nothings in his ear. Albedo finally looks up from Xiao’s shoulder, face flushed and stained with tears “Come closer” Xiao orders and Albedo leans forward for the Adeptus to catch his lips for a passionate kiss.
As the Alchemist’s focus starts to drift away from the pain, Xiao firmly holds the hips and pulls the body down in one swift move. Albedo screams into the kiss and Xiao swallows all of it.
They both stayed stilled as they waited for a mutual agreement to move. Mixed Alpha scents scattered in the air, but the Adeptus’ scent is stronger than the other, though it tries its best to be comforting, the recessive Alpha can still sense the dominance lingering.
After a few minutes of adjusting to the Adeptus’ size, Albedo finally moves and wraps his arms on the dominant Alpha’s neck. On his own, he raises his hips a little and slowly goes down to the cock that stays penetrated inside him. Moaning and gasping as he tries to create his own rhythm in fucking himself, Xiao just lets him, and Albedo was glad that he can still have a tiny bit of control at this moment.
Albedo loosens his embrace on the other’s neck and stares straight into those golden orbs that gleam while watching him try to reach his own peak but fail
“You...can start moving” He said as he bounces himself on the Adeptus’ lap.
With consent, Xiao takes his cock off from the tight heat and holds the Alchemist’s waist and pushes them down on the bed. Albedo with his back now pressed on the bed, clouded teal eyes watches the Adeptus’ hold the skin behind his knees and change them into another position; where the Alchemist’s legs are tucked up so his knees are closed to his head. Xiao aligned his cock back to the gaping flushed hole and plunged in swiftly, his cock went deep because of their position, making Albedo groan from the penetration. Xiao starts his rhythm fast and hard while hitting the abused bundle of nerve that made Albedo experienced his first release
“Albedo...last chance, will you still submit?”
Albedo, now lost in ecstasy, manages a few nod
“Good...I’ll take care of you, my Omega ”
With that being said, Albedo suddenly cums with a silent cry, his back arching as he spurts his seeds to his stomach up to his chest, his warm walls close tighter around the cock, but Xiao still continues to plunged in deeper and deeper into the other’s hole, wanted to catch his own release.
A few minutes after Albedo’s writhing release, Xiao’s thrust starts to become erratic, the sound of his growl can be heard, his scent starts to become heavy again, and his fangs starts to show—Albedo witnessing all of it in front of him, he weakly turns his head to the side to bare his neck and reveal another of his sensitive scent glands located just below the ear.
That’s the action Xiao was waiting for, the recessive Alpha’s will to submit by showing his sensitive gland, for it to be marked by the dominant one. The Adeptus’ made a few hard thrust before the final thrust that went deeper for him to inseminate his sperms inside. While still cumming, he leaned down and bit the exposed scent gland, making his newly turned mate loudly wails as he tears the skin with his fangs.
Albedo felt the dominant Alpha’s semen fill him inside, and the stinging pain on his scent gland adds up to the unexplained feeling of euphoria. Then, another surge of pain shoots in his abused hole
“Xiao!... Agghh!” Albedo’s head snaps back, and his hands reach for the Adeptus’ chiseled arms, holding onto it tightly as he weakly tries to move away “It hurts!...Hnng!”
Xiao hissed as his knot swollen inside the newly turned Omega “Don’t move! You’ll hurt yourself more!”
Albedo listens and stops from squirming, following the Alpha’s order, he then patiently accepts the immense pain from the Alpha’s swollen knot, and felt another wave of semen fills him up to the brim
“You’re doing good Albedo” Xiao kisses the sweaty forehead and hums a lullaby for the Alchemist to relax as they both bask in their afterglow while waiting for the knot to calm down.
Albedo hums as he takes a bite on the apple offered to him by his mate. They are now trying to replenish their energy in case another wave of heat comes
“So…how will I know that I’m an Omega now?” Albedo looks down at the Alpha lying beside him, who is tracing random shapes on his back
“Your hole starts to create its own slick, and you’ll be searching for your mate—for me” Xiao lightly smirks and sits up. He takes one of his mate’s hands and puts it on his lips, gently pressing kisses on the fingertips then to the palm. His golden eyes gleams as he straightly looks at his mate’s face “Just call out my name, and I’ll be there”
Albedo slowly smiles and nods.
