silver

Why the hell was anyone even out here? Not only was the sun had long since dipped behind the mountains and shoreline, but there was a notoriously irritating ruin guard around these ruins. Who would be so stupid to try and fight that thing? Especially at night, and probably alone, judging by the singular distinct scent rather than multiple tanging together.

Despite your internal ridicule, you followed your instincts. Easily leading to your target. Your mouth watered as the metallic scent of blood got stronger. You wanted nothing more than to dig your teeth in, take your fill. Satiate the growing hunger that lurked deep in your chest... but as a knight, especially with someone innocent on the line, you must keep yourself if check. No matter how hungry you are. Your duty as a knight always takes precedent over your tedious, gnawing hunger.

As you inched closer to the rich scent, growing sweeter and more tantalizing the closer you got, you finally saw a silhouette slouched against one of the ruins towers. "Hey! Are you alright?" You called, only half expecting an answer.

However, out of everything you were expecting, you didn't expect your vice-captain. You stiffened. This guy? Seriously? Out of everyone in Teyvat? HE was the one you run into during a patrol? Taunting you with the scent of blood.

Lohen perked up, a grin stretched crossed his face, seeming totally unphased by the pain. He slurred his words, putting a teasing spine to his tone. "Heyyy." he cooed. You sighed, pinching the bridge of your nose, warding off the incoming head ache.

"What are you doing here? Why are you bleeding?" You sharpy say, struggling to hide your glare. In all honestly, you could care less about how he got injured. But that smell... divinely strong, mouth-watering. Pure torture. Whatever he got himself into better be worth how hard you were struggling to keep yourself tame. His mood seemed to dampen for a second, his eyes trailing to the fallen ruin guard. "Just a little mishap. I took care of it." You barely glance at the ruin guard, looking over his wounds. "Mhm. I'm sure." You crouch next to him, getting a better look at the glittery crimson drooling from his side.

"Oh?" his usual playful smirk returned to his face. "Taking care of me now? I'm not in any pain, don't bother." he waved his hand dismissively. You held back your irritation. "Just let me do my job." Lohen non-committedly hummed, leaning back. Being surprisingly compliant compared to his usual flare.

It was only natural to hesitate as you gazed upon his wound. It was a waste. A waste of good, delicious blood.... Your hands quivered slightly as you wrapped the bandages around his side. It was a shame, really. A perfect crimson flowing ambrosia laid before you. The ambrosia sung your name, the temptress of fresh blood pulling at you harder than any siren's song. Yet just out of reach.

No. Stay calm. Ignore the hunger. Just a bit longer. Just a bit longer, and he'll be out of your hair. Then you can eat your fill of whatever poor creatures crossed your path later. Please make this go quick... and pray you don't do anything stupid..

---------------------------------------

Lohen watched as you bandaged him. You struggled to look at the blood soaking through his clothes, and your hands were shaking. How.. cute. Who knew such an accomplished knight would be afraid of something so baseline as blood? Well, this was fun. Maybe getting injured wasn't so bad...

You struggled to inspect his wound properly, eyes darting away. Your fingers shook as you wrapped the bandages around him. Your lips curling inward, quivering slightly as you bit the inside of your cheek.

Lohen watched with mild amusement as you diligently cared for him, holding back a smirk as he saw you struggle. Watching you fumble around all nervous was cute.

You tested his bandages, making sure they were secure. Lohen shuffled, stretching. The bandages were secure, not a problem in sight. Lohen was just about to tease you about how queasy you looked, when you brought your hand, still stained with Lohen's blood, to your lips. Licking the blood from your hand, looking completely natural as you did so. Your canines glimmering in the dull moonlight.

......

Oh~?

This situation just got much more interesting.....

---------------------------------------

Your fingers gently pressed against the fabric. The bandages stood unyielding. A wound well-bound. Lohen grunted softly, stretching. As you watched him, you absentmindedly tried to remember what to do next in the Favonius procedure. While stuck in your head, you brought your fingers to your mouth, cleaning them just like you would after normal prey.

.....just like you would with prey.

You stiffen, suddenly realizing how stupid what you just did was. You quickly pull your hand away from your mouth, waving your hands wildly as you sputtered out apologies. "Holy shit- I'm sorry! I didn't mean too- I don't know what came over me! I'm so so-" Lohen broke into your rambling, far too casually saying "You can feed off me, I don't care."

You were prepared for him to insult you, or demean, or something! Anything but... anything but THAT!

"........huh?" You squeak.

"You can feed off me. Didn't you hear me?" He frowned. "You know I don't like repeating myself."

Your brows furrow. "I'm not doing that." He frowned. "Why not?" You let out another sigh of frustration. "You're nearly bleeding out. I'd kill you." "I'm not that weak. A can take it." he retorted, obviously taking what you said as a challenge rather than a blatant fact.

You lick your lips. No doubt, the offer was tempting. And it really wasn't helping with your urges. "No." You firmly say. You roughly hook your arm under his, forcing him to his feet. He steadied himself quickly, almost like he wasn't injured at all. Thank the Archon's that the bandages were muffling most the smell of the blood or you would have dug you fangs in without a second though.

He sighs, trying to pry the entire time you dragged him back to camp. You dropped him in the cathedral, the medics inside immediately taking notice of their regular. Lohen watched as you quickly scampered away, almost running out of the cathedral. The grating voices of the med staff didn't even reach him. His thoughts were occupied by "How can I make this vampire break?"

Masterlist

When she made up her mind to sacrifice herself for Mizi, she wasn't going to tell you, this needed to be flawless. Even though you weren't that close to her, she still felt a tad guilty. She had gotten used to your presence always being around, and you had gotten used to her. With her gone, you'd be alone.

The night before her final round, Sua came into your room. She brushed off your questions, masterfully dodging her intent. Sua hesitated, then pulled you into a hug. She made it short, inconspicuous. It was her silent goodbye to you.

Sua hoped that you'd be fine once she's gone.

TILL

Till just picked you on a whim, really he put no though into it. He didn't know why he needed a sibling, but he didn't mind having you around.

As he grew, he ended up accidentally hogging a lot of attention. He was a troublemaker, but he was valuable. So often times you'd ended up sidelined. When he wasn't in trouble, you got along pretty good! Till liked hanging out with you, especially if you had an artistic side. That was something you bonded over.

As he rose in popularity after his debut in your later teen years, you saw each other less and less. If you had the time, you'd become essentially his beta reader for his songs. Pages upon pages of scores ended up in your lap eventually. Till took your criticism very seriously.

When Mizi went missing, and with Ivan gone, Till started struggling. Your 'masters' were putting the heat on Till, and all you could do is watch. Till knew you really couldn't do anything. But the stress clouded his judgement, and he got distant.

After Till was shot, his thoughts were running quickly, he thought he was going to die. When his racing brain landed on you, he felt guilty. So guilty. Especially since he had gotten so stubbornly distant with you recently. Your last memories of him would be him brushing you off, or being outright rude. What kind of brother was he? It was too late to change anything now...

With you in the rebellion, Till felt ever so slightly more comfortable. Of course he was relieved you were not only safe, but that he could fix what he messed up, but you were basically the last thing to familiarity he had here. Once he got his voice back, and the hallucinations got more mild, you became a pseudo crutch for him. Till knew how to handle himself, but it really did give him an unexpected comfort to have you around.

IVAN

Ivan was curious about you. He kept to himself mainly. He was still 'favored', Ivan guessed that you were just a back-up just incase if something happened to him. He felt bad some days. You were trained hard, but received barely half what he did.

Ivan didn't mind having you around. He was a little odd and distant, but he was friendly. your relationship was little strained because he was spoiled, while you were treated averagely. It caused a little jealousy on both sides; you wanted even a fraction of the privileges he got, and he wanted the freedom that you had.

Your relationship maintained that was through most your teen years as well. Not exactly joined at the hip, but on good terms. Some days he'd get sneaky, pass you some extra food during dinner, or let you borrow some of his better-made equipment. Ivan cared about you, you just weren't his first priority.

Ivan made sure you were safe, it felt almost like an obligation in his subconscious. Other kids wouldn't mess with you since you were Ivan's sibling, and he told you about some of the secrets of Anakt garden. It felt like it was the bare minimum for basically forcing you in the shadow your whole life.

During his final performance, Ivan trusted that you could handle yourself without him. For a moment, he wanted to hesitate on your behalf. You needed him, but you could go on without him. Ivan tried not to let you weigh him down when he sacrificed himself for Till. when his consciousness started slipping, he truly did pray that you would be able to make it fine without him.

LUKA

Heperu saw the untapped potential of all those sibling duo idols, so Heperu forced Luka to get himself a sibling. He just picked who Heperu nudged him towards, which just so happened to be you.

Luka honestly wasn't mentally there for most of your childhood together. Always spaced out. He treated you neutrally, he wasn't hostile by any means, just in his own world. He'd hang out with you if you wanted, but he spent most him time alone or with Hyuna and Hyun-woo. Luka didn't care if you decided to hang out with them or not.

His... possessive tendencies would flare up occasionally with you. You and Hyuna seemed to be the only people that didn't treat him oddly. It didn't help after Hyun-woo's death. Luka had trouble grasping the reality of his actions. It hurt when you suddenly seem terrified of him. Like all the other children.

As you two grew up, Luka was trained harder, stricter. Shoved into lime light. And by extension, so were you. Sure, majority liked Luka more, but you were a package deal. It became common for you to be dragged to photoshoots, recordings, promotions, whatever. If Luka was getting merch, you probably were too. Even if he treated you the same as he grew more and more popular, it almost felt like he was leaving you behind with how fast his fanbase was growing compared to yours.

Once Hyuna escaped, your relationship with Luka got more complicated. On one hand, he had episodes of being scared that you were going to leave him too. On the other, you were just second best, Hyuna was the center of his attention over you in basically every circumstance.

After the Alien Stage tragedy Luka was basically a shell of what he once was. Hyuna was gone, he was taken away from the limelight to cover the rough patches of burnt skin. He saw little reason to try and get better, so you were forced to take Luka's spot until he was 'better'.

HYUNA + HYUN-WOO

The first day with Hyuna and Hyun-woo was pretty awkward. They were full blooded siblings, you may be their 'sibling' but you weren't one of them. Hyuna was cautious. In the beginning at least. She didn't specifically steer Hyun-woo away from you, but it would be a lie to say her grip on his arm didn't tighten when you were around. Hyun-woo, unlike Hyuna, was almost purely curious. Hyun-woo warmed up to you faster than Hyuna.

Hyun-woo would play with you the most, and eventually Hyuna also settled with you around. They watched your back, and you watched theirs. The three of you quickly grew to be pretty tight knit, but Hyuna and Hyun-woo were obviously a bit closer.

After Hyun-woo died, Hyuna broke. She pushed you out. She didn't know how to deal with the loss of her brother, but it hurt to be reminded of him. Hyuna didn't want to be around you because it just reminded her about how she couldn't protect her brother.

In your teen years, Hyuna slowly became less distant. She actually got pretty protective of you, she didn't want to lose you too. When she escaped to the rebellion, she'd wake up at night sometimes. Images of you staining into her skull. Hyuan never wanted to leave you- but she had to. She wanted so badly to be selfish, go back for you. Go save you, she she didn't abandon you. The mental image of you waiting. Waiting for her to come save you became a weirdly motivating image.

When she returned to the Alien Stage, she truly did want to go and find you immediately, but she had to complete her mission. And when the mission derailed she panicked. Of course she did. Years of planning collapsing around her. The bullet in her chest burned. As her vision blurred, she wondered about you, about what would come of this tragedy. She failed Hyun-woo, and she failed you.

AN: formatting from the original was causing me a few problems so general hcs! sorry its kind of messy </3

Jade tends to let you be, you're mature enough to take care of yourself. He's ALWAYS watching.

You are his mushroom dish test dummy. Floyd runs away, so your the next best bet.

If you have even the slightest interest in hiking, Jade WILL be annoying you until you join his club.

Somehow crazy good at doing make-up. It's not like he minds doing your make-up either.

Jade prefers just spending time with you over anything else. He's usually pretty busy, working or just not home while out traveling.

If you work at the Monstro Lounge, then he'll shave off a little of his bonus and add it to yours.

If he's out a specific hiking spot with cute souvenirs, if he finds something he knows you might like, he'll drop it off by your dorm.

Jade won't mind driving you anywhere. But if you want some extra snacks on the ride home.. you'll have to bargain.

If you tell him someone is bothering you, he initially keep his composure calm. He'll let you cry into his shoulder. Tell you what you need, but whoever was messing with you certainly won't try something like that again.

Floyd....

Floyd bring the "intimidate until people leave you alone" approach when he deems someone unworthy. Typically he just glares at them, and sighs loudly when they talk.

Does the cheesy "This ones for you!" during his basketball games (then proceeds to basically ram through the other team but its the though that counts)

Advocates for you to get into some minor trouble with him- c'mon, skipping class just once won't end too bad~

Since females tend to grow bigger than males, Floyd is almost competing with you in terms of height. Sure, you aren't quite at his level yet, but until you do, Floyd won't spare you teasing.

"Uwa? You're really tiny, sure you aren't gonna be a runt? Kyahah!"

It depends on Floyd's mood, but typically his mod increases whenever you some around. Why mope when he can annoy you instead?

Floyd of course gets lazy sometimes, when you're too far off, (and halfway just to mess with you) he WILL throw the nearest thing at your head to get your attention.

Floyd is.. much more reckless when driving compared to Jade. But on the bright side, if you wanna go out for a midnight snack run.. he's your better bet.

If someone is messing with you, Floyd will try his best to not get irrationally mad. But still. Your his sister. Only he can mess with you. That something Floyd is very firm about.

AN: bru real morays don't even had good family dynamics so taking some creative liberties ฅʕ•̫͡•ʔฅ

Anaxa put the icepack in a towel, passing it into your hands. He crossed his arms, leaning on your desk as you held the icepack to your still-hot cheek. His leg was bouncing as he kept his stoic face on, watching the door. He was seething. Completely.

Word about the incident quickly spread. Anaxa landed himself in temporary suspension for 'creating a hostile environment', but on the bright side, he got said commissioner banned from the Grove without a chaperone. On his time suspended, he sat at your side, just watching as you worked. What would he do if he hadn't come in when he did? Something like that wont be happening again on his watch. An unseen bonus however, was Anaxa's students flocking to you. They might not love Anaxa, but you're the only one who can satiate his anger. They do NOT play about you. So you ended with at least one person acting like a makeshift bodyguard even after Anaxa was forced to go back to work.

PHAINON

Phainon was on his way to Anaxa's lecture, taking a littttle detour to come see you since you were working at the Grove today (He needed the pick-me-up anyway). He slipped in, when he saw you with a customer, he was going to leave and go back to class. But the way you slowly just... deflated didn't slip past him. Sure, it wasnt his job to help you deal with tough clients, but still. Phainon came closer, approaching your station. What kind of boyfriend would he be if he didn't come to your side as your 'knight in shinning armor'? His voice was friendly as can be, (obviously trying to peacefully de-escalate the situation) "Hey friend-" cut off by the sharp sound of them hitting you.

Phainon almost flinched himself when he saw you get hit. His initially bubbly mood quickly fizzled out. It took massive willpower to swallow what he really wanted to respond with. His smile remained, but it was frozen cold. Phainon grabbed their arm tightly. "Hey. Why dont you just cool off a bit?" Phainon figured the grip he had on them would shut them up, but no. They pushed Phainon off, shouting at you again. Phainon sighed. The jewel-eyed 'knight' cooled his composure, forcefully taking them by the shoulders and not-so-kindly pushing them out of the library. And closing the door in their face. While poorly hiding his glare.

He leaned against the door for a second. He shakily sighed, then turned to you with pure concern. He cupped your cheeks, gently looking you over. "Does it hurt? Want some ice...?" Phainon's hands gingerly trailed down to your shoulders. He laughed before pulling you into a tight hug. He only slightly pulled away, smiling sweetly he said, "Your cheeks look much better when I'm making them red."

Phainon made sure to come check on you often. From the usual 1 or 2, turning into nearly 5. He didn't want to be overbearing and loom over your shoulder all the time, but he wanted to make it known that he's always there if you need him. Anaxa came in and annoyed you about how Phainon teleslate notifications for your messages kept scaring the entire class awake. Phainon bought you lunch, or brought two lunch boxes, always leaving one with you after lunch period. And leaving his coat draped over your shoulders. He even left some of his spare shoes next to you desk. And he also left those gift boxes right on your desk. So stressed, he must be forgetting stuff... He just wants to blatantly show that you've got a super tough boyfriend that will be there at your whim incase anyone tries to press their luck again.

MYDEI

Mydei was a mix between calm and pumped. You usually worked at the Grove of Epiphany, having you come visit Okhema specifically for a commission was nice. But also you come home to Okhema everyday, so its not like he hasn't seen you in awhile. But still, he took time out of his training schedule to make you lunch. Mydei tried his best to keep the 'tough and unaffected' look on his face as he held the glass container at his hip. Right as Mydei approached, it's like his instincts flared. He swallowed slowly, quietly watching as the customer started getting heated. Mydei was three paces away, when they hit you something snapped inside him. His grip on the glass container tightened. He didn't even notice the literal snap of the glass as it broke.

He sat the glass down on your desk. He pulled the commissioner back by the neck of their shirt. Mydei didn't lose his temper, he never did, but that scary expression was hard enough to kill for sure. He firmly took the commissioner a good 10 or 15 paces away. He didn't say anything. His message certainly got across, judging by how your customer was suddenly scampering away.

Mydei let out a frustrated rubbing his temples, how people were so quick to violence baffled and irritated him to no end. "Mydei..." Hearing you say his name made him perk up, "Hm?" "Youve got some food on you." "...Huh?" He glanced down, a light pink dusted his cheeks as he grumbled. "Oh. Sorry."

The whole 'dating a prince' thing has its upsides (kinda...). Three huge kremnoan guards certainly wasn't what you were expecting, but it was sweet. Mydei made lunch for you after that. He even added those cute-cheesy notes with messages on them into your lunch box. Of course, Mydei was busy on Okhema, and you were at the Grove, so the bodyguards that were twice your size and thrice your weight had to make due. When you were in Okhema however, suddenly Mydei had some extra free time to come idle by your station. Hugging you from behind and watching you work beats a spar with the deliverer any day.

AN:I dont write for hi3 so im assuming you meant hsr, but yeah I write for hsr and alsnt! Love em both :] Wrote like half of this waiting for my AKE to update #RossiComeHome
