The Captain's normally not that expressive, but the instant his mate's in danger he's seeing red and will immediately kill whoever's put them in danger. It's not even something he thinks about, that's just his instinctive reaction once he sees them or hears them scream.

Once the danger is over he'd ignore their crying or shaking and silently check them over for any injuries; once he deems that they're fine, he plans on dragging them back to his quarters. Normally they resist a little when he takes them by the arm or puts them over his shoulder, but this time they actually take his arm in theirs. Hell, they're clinging to him. It's...odd. Not unpleasant, but he's not used to affection. This could legitimately be the first time he's received it. Like. Ever

Once he's locked the door he expects them to let go, but instead they move to wrap both their arms around him. They're crying a little, which he's used to, but they're thanking him. Unfortunately the blood still covering his clothes is now on them (well, not unfortunate for him--he doesn't mind, but they seem to be averse to blood. Humans are strange and delicate like that, since they're prey animals). So to try and return the affection they've given him, he just takes their hands and licks the blood off before doing the same to their cheek. It's strange not feeling them flinch when he's this close. And what's even stranger is when they do something similar to him; not a lick or a bite, but just putting their lips on his cheek for a moment.

He pauses and imitates the action, only putting his lips on the spot he'd just cleaned blood off. They don't stop him, so he sits them down on his bed and keeps doing it in different spots along their face, neck, and hands. The adrenaline from what happened to them must've worn off because soon they're falling asleep against him, and he enjoys watching them for a while.

Alucard can take out most threats instantly, but he still feels this ever so slight sense of alarm and worry the moment before he kills any and every creature that had Darling in their clutches. There's no mad grinning or sense of amusement when he kills and devours this time, it's just a very cold rage. He lets them know that his hound is going to chew them up and shit them out, but apart from that he says very little.

Once they're dealt with, he's back to normal though. He'll ask if they're ready to come back home, and when he sees they're shaking he just smirks. They really are his little Rabbit. He's used to seeing them anxious, terrified even, but usually they either pull away from him or go limp...or if they're feeling feisty, like they did in the beginning, they'd try to fight or kill him.

Which is why he doesn't expect it when they grab onto him and bury their face in his chest. Warmth is something he can only experience from others and the world around him, but Darling wrapping themselves around him like this almost feels like he's warm-blooded and human. Almost.

He picks them up easily and happily lets them cling to him, but he actually hesitates if they kiss him. He loves that they're being so forward and affectionate, but he knows that this is likely just them being grateful for his rescue and needing an outlet for the terror that's got their heartbeat pounding in his ears. He'd rather wait until they come to him completely willingly to take things further. That said, he doesn't tell them to stop either, and he's happy to caress and hold them while they curl up against him.

Reiner's the kind of yandere that will lose his fucking mind if Darling's in danger. Like the instant he sees it, he's got two responses: If they're in an open space, he's gonna Titan out and squish the fucker. If they're in a crowded spot, he's grabbing the nearest weapon/object and he's not gonna come to his senses until his knuckles are bleeding and they ain't got no face lmao.

Tbh he's going to be more hysterical than Darling. Once the enemy's dealt with and not even twitching, he's gonna immediately rush over to them and start crying as he envelops them in a hug. He's apologizing over and over for not getting there sooner, for letting this happen, promising that he won't ever let them out of his sight again, etc.

He snaps out of it a bit when he feels Darling slowly move their arms to hug him back, and when they reach up to kiss his cheek and rest their head on his shoulder he forgets how to breathe for a second. Are they...is he dreaming? He's had dreams like this before. He rescues them and they confess the love they've had for him this whole time, and then they make love over and over, and have so many kids together in a nice house in the countryside away from everyone else.

Right off the bat, Reiner is going to be the most fucked up about it and the worst at hiding how he feels. He'd be suspicious of this other person Darling is with and when he's in his "soldier" persona he's extra potective; while he won't be outright hostile, it's clear he isn't their biggest fan.

He has this annoying habit of picking up on any time Darling complains about their partner and will always question why they're even together. But he does it EVERY time, regardless of how minor the complaint is or even if it isn't a complaint. Darling will jokingly talk about how their partner keeps stealing the covers at night and Reiner will seriously say it's not fair that they act so selfishly towards Darling. Like...dude, calm down, it's not that deep lol

If he's drunk enough he might call their partner out for a "private chat" and say they don't deserve someone like Darling, and that in a world as dangerous as theirs where Titans are constantly attacking, he knows their partner would fail to protect Darling. Either they'd flee like a coward or they'd fail to protect them, and Reiner insists that if that DOES happen, he'll be there to make sure Darling is safe.

I think he'd probably avoid a real fight unless they swing first, and would instead stagger back to his quarters and tell Bertholdt that he's made up his mind: when they have to go back home, he's taking Darling with them. He's said this a lot to Bert but is extra adamant about it this time, and when shit hits the fan he finally goes through with it and scoops up Darling once he Titanizes.

The adrenaline of finally having his secret out and actually having Darling to himself leads to him reverting back to his human form and just pouncing on them immediately, hugging them and apologizing for everything he's done (and about to do), for lying to them for so long, confessing and babbling about every single thought he's had about them. Darling can expect a lot of apologizing, begging, pleading, as he's kissing them and no longer keeps his shaking hands to himself.

Shizuo is fairly normal and may even feel a bit guilty about disliking someone who hasn't really done anything WRONG, he's just jealous. He's a pretty self-aware yandere imo that for the most part acts normal, but is just prone to anger and is more protective than he would usually be. He'd try to stay content with just knowing Darling is happy, even if they're with someone else.

If he believes their partner is doing something shitty and NOT treating Darling well, he'll tell Darling what he thinks about it but will grudgingly add that he knows it's not really his business. Darling and their partner are grown adults, but he's just trying to look out for Darling because he cares about them. If their partner doesn't stop whatever it is he thinks is wrong, he'll confront them directly and warn them about harming Darling (emotionally or otherwise)

I think it'd take something like their partner cheating or something clearly over the line for him to snap. They're getting thrown through the nearest wall and he's angrily calling Shinra to come patch the asshole up because he knows if he doesn't leave immediately he might actually kill them. The next call he's making is to Darling to apologize in advance for letting his anger get the best of them, but that their partner is a two timing piece of shit.

He tries to give them some space and assumes they're likely upset with him for flying off the handle, but will text Darling occasionally to apologize again and ask if they're alright. If he finds out their partner is trying to get Darling back, or worse, they already made up, he's immediately going to their partner's place and telling them to never come near Darling again or they'll see what happens when he finally stops holding back his anger and hits them with the strength he only saves for Izaya.

Alucard is easily the most chill/least jealous, if only because centuries of unlife has given him more patience than the average human. Any envy he feels at Darling being with someone else is fleeting and insignificant, especially if they're both mortals. He has a kind of nonchalant possessiveness where even if Darling is with someone else, he knows they're still his.

If their partner ISN'T mortal (and especially if Darling IS) he'd be more likely to act on it. They'll only live if they're aligned with Hellsing, and even then he's killing them once they outlive whatever usefulness they have to Integra. If they aren't aligned with Hellsing then he's just going to go mask off and kill them, potentially eating them if he's feeling petty enough to keep part of them trapped inside the mass of souls he's consumed.

But if they're a mortal and Darling is a virgin, he might get rid of them quietly and discreetly just to preserve the opportunity to turn Darling into a vampire. This is something he would only ever do as a last resort if Darling was about to die, similar to what he did to turn Seras; that said, he wouldn't do this if Darling explicitly said they didn't want it. He values mortality and would give Darling the choice, something he was never able to have. It's a complicated subject for him and I think deep down he wonders if, in that moment, he would be able to respect that wish or if he would turn them to save them AND keep them forever.

It'd be pretty easy to scare off most mortals since Alucard, an eldritch vampire with terrifying power, just gives off a vibe that leaves most people uneasy without him even having to do anything. He worries people just by vibing lol. I think he'd make scaring off their partner into a kind of game or playful test to see if they're worth having Darling's affection: giving them nightmares, sending part of himself to stalk them as a black dog or other ominous creatures, etc.
