Work Text:
It's only been a few months since we knew each other through work as Nijisanji streamers. Five months, one week and 3 days since debut, and a month and 5 days since they were initially drafted together as Noctyx, he kept count.
I instantly reached out to be close to him instantly declaring he was like a little brother to me. The truth was, he was so much more than that. I was attracted to him.
Probably more than just "attracted"
Not only because he was cute, with his baby face, sharp little nose, pouty lips and expressive mismatched eyes, his precious pointy little fangs. I was captivated by his charming laugh, his kindness...His personality... His innocence.
Well, there may be areas where he wasn't innocent, especially because of his past, but despite everything he was truly naive where it counts...and I loved the fact that he was untainted and so...unsuspecting.
Through those months, I made sure to always be close to him, silently making sure no one will come between me and him becoming close. The other members of our unit joked about it all the time, and I would always laugh and declare that I love my precious little brother.
My Alban...
Being coworkers gave the greatest advantage I could have, and was able to learn everything about him, his likes and dislikes, how he hated corn and he can bribe him to eat asparagus if he would give him ice cream afterwards. I learned that he had no family left, even from the timeline he left behind, how he likes to cook and is very diligent in cleaning, like a perfect male wife. How he often makes stir fry because he declares it "easy" to make, how he likes horror games but at the same time would often scream out at jump scares everytime. I learned that he is fond of waffles for breakfast, and would collect figures if he finds them interesting...Everything about him, I engrave into my mind.
I even make sure to check his tweets every morning, to see who he talks to. I secretly lurk on his tags and smirk at the fanarts of us. They were cute, and some were pretty interesting. IF they only knew I was thinking of something much darker.
At the start, I wondered what this feeling was, it started with a simple attraction, I found him cute and wanted to be close---but the feeling I currently have is now far more than simple interest, and even family members don't go that far into getting to know their closest family.
I tried talking to Fulgur about it once...and he jokingly said that I was quite obssessed with Alban----like I was crazy in love with him.
I stared incredulously at Fuuchan for a while after that, and he just shrugged, stating "Hey, you asked for my opinion and I just gave it"
But his words had me thinking...was I truly that obsessed?
As the night progressed and Fuuchan declared he was going home to Uki, I
slowly accepted my fate.
I truly did have an unhealthy obsession with Alban Knox
Not like it was illegal, since were both adults, right?
One thing is for sure, I would never let go of this crazy obsession.
Never.
At first, I thought I would never enjoy being a streamer again, my own dark past hung over my shoulders, and I constantly worried that I would fall into that deep hole again, but of course, it was Alban who pulled me out of that darkness, with his kindness and caring attitude.
I can never live without him anymore
I didn't like that it was directed towards others too, especially since the newest group also debuted...those smiles...they should all be towards me.
Again, my luck smiles down at me when the company staff asked us to pair up and come up with stream and collab suggestions. I didn't even need to ask and they paired me and Alban together. I couldn't stop the smile creeping up my lips.
"Want to come over to draft the schedules? We can pick up pizza too while we work" I asked casually as we made our way out of the conference room. I saw Alban looking at the other 3 members of Noctyx, but they quickly said they had plans, and I had to stop myself from smirking least Alban notices.
"Okay, Sonny" he agreed, completely unaware of my thoughts.
I can't believe Alban was willing to come home with me. Does that mean...he really doesn't think of me as a stranger?
Granted, we treated each other like true brothers... Well, at least Alban did.
For me, well...
My apartment was a decent sized studio type room with a balcony to hang my clothes.I immediately invited Alban in, who stared around curiously and muttered a cute "Whoa" before asking if he should be taking off his shoes by the door."
Nah" I waved my hands and he came inside the door, I gestured to the sofa where he sat down while I opened the lights and the AC. I also came back with the some paper and pen and my laptop so we can get started on some work.
My sweet, hardworking Alban. He was truly focus on the job, his forehead scrunched cutely as he thought of the games we could play on stream and which people we could do a collab with for next week.
Truly, he may have worked as a phantom thief in his timeline, but right now he was a workaholic who aimed to please all of his takaradachis and the people who came to his stream
I let out a little snarl at the thought.
After a while, we had a least half of the week planned out, and I asked Alban if he wanted to rest for a while and play games, but the brunette shook his head disapprovingly "I'd rather finish the schedule before we get distracted and don't finish the job" he said strictly.
I chuckled and tried to hide my amusement, but he clearly caught it and those brilliant green and gray eyes glared at me. Instead of being intimidated though, I resisted the urge to shiver in excitement and simply shrugged.
"Okay, okay~" I conceded and placed the drinks on the table. Water for him as
he requested and some soda for me.
We worked again after that, finally finishing what streams and collabs we would do for the next week. Alban smiled excitedly at the plan he drafted out, seemingly satisfied.
He had no idea he would not be able to do any of them
Alban only agreed to play with me after we were done with the schedule. After that, we brought out their Nintendo Switches and played for a good hour and a half. We ate the pizza and had our drinks as well.
I smiled triumphantly as he drank the water I gave him.
It won't be long now.
"Ack! I lost! Again! Dammit! " Alban whined for the nth time he lost to me in the game. He placed his hand over his eyes, seemingly tired "Whoa..."
"You okay there, Alban?" I asked, making my way to him and helped him settle comfortably on the sofa
"Y-Yeah, I think I'm tired..." Alban licked his lips in an attempt to combat the drowsiness, but the sweet, unsuspecting soul doesn't know he's only pushing my patience. I swear that small pink tongue shall do more than just lick lips later. "I...I should go"
"Go? In that condition? I think not, Alban..." I whisper to him "Just stay here a while, hmnn?"
"W-Wha---" Alban stared at me, and I probably gave myself away with the way I was staring at him.
Like a predator in front of my prized prey
"S-Sonny?" He was trying to fend off his sleepiness, and I had to smile at the fighting spirit of my little Alban.
"Yes, Alban?" I smiled at him, no longer pretending.
His eyes widened in alarm, but he could no longer fight off the effects of the tasteless sleeping drug I slipped into his water "F-Fuck..."
"If you insist" I whispered back with promise and he whimpered a little, struggling still.
"Sleep, my little ototou" I said softly, as he lost the battle and finally, finally closed his eyes, losing all his strength when he was trying to resist me.
A sinister smile dawned on my lips as I reach out to caress those cheeks. Ah, my precious unsuspecting Alban, so kind and trusting...So innocent and mine...
I stared at the table where I kept the tickets I purchased for the two of us. By the time the rest of the company realize we are gone, me and Alban would be far away, with him only having those smiles for me.
The car and plane would come by in a few hours, and we had time to spare
I picked up my precious prize and made my way to my bedroom... We could do some time to catch up.
Truly, I don't understand it myself how I became obssessed with him like this...my Briskadets often called me crazy...heh...I guess they were right after all...
My sweet Alban, you know you were always mine...
