A gentle reader that can and will manhandle him? Sign me up!
Because that's exactly WHAT he wanted most.

First of all, his respect for you would be beyond what a person can comprehend. He's seen you handle situations rather calmly, and with the same tender touch and delicate voice that could easily soothe him, he knew he was entrapped right then and there. Even during the times you're burdened with such hefty tasks commanded by the Grandmaster himself, daring to test your limit in certain situations, he couldn't help but catch a glimpse of your flawless execution. He thought you were an easy target because of how you carry yourself, and knowing that you're just a recent addition to the Knights of Favonius— probably with barely any experience for that matter (oh but how wrong he was).
It sparked him interest. It caught him in a snare. But he bites, like he always does.
And he loves every bit of it. Because now, he gets to have it all to himself!
The first time he interacted with you was before he was deployed to take on the journey to Nod Krai. It was quite a mess, because you barely had a chance to decline him when he demanded requested you to a duel.
It didn't really end that well... He had to spend a week off work to rest in the infirmary. That usually doesn't happen, unless it's someone like you who has had background knowledge on which part of the body heals the slowest. Not only were you strong, you're also well equipped with the expertise of seeing through weaknesses. You know exactly where to strike.
He wonders if you ever realized that he's been trying to preserve the flowers you'd left for him during the time he was in the infirmary. Or the letters containing how apologetic you were for hurting him that bad.
Post the arduous quest he had indulged in Nod Krai, your relationship with him had only grown a lot deeper. After all, no amount of letters could satisfy the need of having to see him in person and just have him beside you.
"Is that all you can do?" He taunted with a smirk, knowing well that he's the one getting mopped on the floor. What? You can't blame him! He likes to see you all riled up, hehe.
"I'm barely even tired yet! Come on, give it your all!"
"You're the one battered and bruised here," you raised an eyebrow, your stance unwavering. "You shouldn't be speaking."
Before he could even respond, you were already behind him— knocking his spear off his grasp without holding back. As a result, you were able to inflict another wound on his side with your sword, slashing through thin air. His fault for insisting on using actual weapons instead of the ones designed for training!
He fell on his knees, letting out a huff. Either due to exhaustion or annoyance— you can't really tell, but you also can note how he's enjoying this.
At the sight, your cold exterior quickly melted and suddenly you're in front of him, carefully caressing his bruised cheeks between your palms.
"I told you, we should've stopped a few hours ago!" You scolded, feeling a twinge of guilt growing in the pit of your stomach. "Geez. I can see your injuries getting worse. You've not even had a moment of rest ever since your previous expedition..." You trailed off, noticing how Lohen became oddly silent— too quiet to your liking.
When your eyes flicked up, you were surprised to see him nuzzling against your hands with a smitten expression. What a lovely day to have one of the strongest knights to worry about him.
Your behavior is also not limited to sparring between you and him. When you're paired on a mission, he would purposely try to get himself in trouble just so he could hear you fussing at him. It reminds him of how you care about him.
We also can't forget how he'd misbehave to get you to be mad at him. It works sometimes, but it didn't take you long to realize what he's trying to do. Either you'd relent or ignore him the whole day, it's up to you. Can't say you weren't enjoying the way he's deep in bliss from how you're roughing him up...
This is my first time ever receiving a request.. I hope it's to your liking <3 I'm a little nervous, my idea of Lohen can be a bit different from others as it is centered on how he'd act around the reader without all that intensity.
Anyway, to all readers, thank you for all your support! :3
