Venus

(You are a nurse working under the 5th company, while you are in the office working, you have a few unexpected and expected visitors!)

You were in your headquarters filling out paperwork for various patients that had visited over the week, prescribing medicine and diagnosing patients. You began to notice a pattern, it was concerning to say the least..

Lohen, the vice captain, visited your office 17 times in a week! You knew he was ruthless when it came to battle, but 17 times? That's ridiculous! The next time he visits, you'll need to have a serious talk with him about safety and precautions!

A long sigh exited your mouth, you continued to fill the paperwork out. But maybe after this, you'll visit lohen on your own! Maybe you can pack a few antidotes and medicine for him so he ca-

Wait, what's all that commotion outside the office? Is someone arguing? Oh dear, what if someone got hurt?! If that's the case then you should help them!

Before you could act, the door to your office burst open, and a few knights came in screaming their lungs out, they scrambled their way behind your desk and started begging for help! Then a familiar voice followed after..

"Oh boysssss! Y'know it's not right to hide behind an innocent person, and it's not just any person, your using our sweet nurse as a shield? Have you no shame~?"

Yep it's who you thought it was.

"V-Vice Captain! Please!! No more training!! And we aren't using Miss y/n as our shield!!"

"Yeah! YEAH! What he said! We admit defeat! WE ADMIT DEFEAT!"

"Please f-forgive us for s-saying that we can b-b-beat you in a 4v1!"

"Let us go, we promise to never bring this up again, we swear to barbatos!"

4v1? Did they challenge Lohen? Oh no, what made them think that would be a good idea? And they're using you as protection from him?

"Awww! But we were starting to have fun! What happened to all that cockiness and pride? I barely left a scratch on any of you yet!"

"EXACTLY! We don't want any injuries! Leave us alone PLEASEEEE!"

"Mmm.. uhm.. Nah! Until one of you guys can give me a good beating, I'm not gonna stop bothering ya! So, you better hop to it!"

"W-Wait! W-we won't be able to do anything if we're in the n-nurses office!"

"Huh? Oh- OH! He's right! We don't wanna go against the nurses wishes right? She said no fighting in her room!"

"You wouldn't wanna hurt her feelings! Ri- Right captain..?"

They weren't wrong, you did make a rule for no fighting.. but knowing Lohen, he'll find a way to bend the rules a bit.

"Ahh! So that was the reason why you ran inside here! Hehe.. you think she's gonna save you? How sweet! But those rules don't apply to you guys. You remember what I told you on your first day right..?"

"Uh.. uhm. T-To not interrupt miss y/n d-during her paperwork s-sessions.."

"Mhm, and what did you naughty men just do..?"

"GAH! We're sorry vice captain! We- we didn't mean to interrupt her!!"

"But that's not fair! We didn't know she was in here doing paperwork!"

"Too late for apologies don'tcha think? Once we get out of here, I've got a few 'exercises' for you guys to do.. it'll be a fun punishment..!"

Huh? When was that a rule?! He never told you That directly! Hmph. What a ridiculous rule! Well, here's another problem you have to deal with.

"Lohen, honey, there's no need to be so rough on these guys, after all they're new! Besides, I wasn't that busy, so it's fine! Also, what is that rule you came up with? That they can't come to me during paperwork sessions? How silly! What made you come up with that?"

"Well, you can say that it's me looking out for you sugarplum! Whenever the knights get in trouble with me, they always come running to you for help, like now! I wanna make sure my favoriteeee nurse is unbothered and comfortable~!"

Huh?! What kind of rule-? This man and his antics.. oh my goodness. How does he come up with stuff like this?

"I- uh. No! You can't do that! Don't give them unfair training because of that! No one knew I was doing paperwork!"

"Shhhhh.. There's no need to worry sweetie! I won't be too harsh on them! C'mon boys! I need another 15 sets of push-ups and sit-ups from all of ya!"

all four of the men groaned and whined loudly, their plan for protection was a failure. Great. Now it's another set of pure agony and despair.

"Ah- wait! Lohen! Get back here this instant!"

"Nope! No can do! I'll see you after I'm done with the training sesh.. hehe. See ya soon sugarplum!"

And just like that, he's gone.. oh those poor men. First they decided to challenge him, then they tried to hide? They're only fueling Lohens sadistic fantasies!

Though, you couldn't get your mind off that rule that Lohen made. He wanted you to be unbothered? And comfortable? You didn't know how to feel, but your heart felt lighter.. what a weird feeling.

Augh.. you'll deal with the feelings later. You have paperwork to get back to!

You are a sweet, kind baker who lives on the outskirts of Mondstadt! Your home is also your workplace, your bakery! It's a cozy, welcoming environment and most of the knights of favonious visit to relax and enjoy your pastries!

But your pastries contain a special ingredient! No. It's not poison. It's your healing magic! Since you aren't on the battlefield with others, you wanted to incorporate your healing ability in a helpful way, and since you loved baking, you decided to combine the two together!

Everyone in Mondstadt was aware and grateful for how lovely you were!

And.. everyone included that one guy.

Vice Captain Lohen of the 5th company.

You had no issues with him, but you've heard the rumors about him. He was a sadomasochist who always has a taste for blood and battle.. They talked about him like he was a campfire story or urban legend! You haven't met him yourself, but surely those rumors were just rumors. Right?

That was until you got to see him first-hand.

It was another peaceful night at your home, and you were just finishing with closing the bakery for the night! But you begin to hear strange noises from outside. It was unexpected and unnerving considering that this rarely happens, but when it does.. it doesn't mean anything good. So, you took a small peek out your window to see what was happening. And what you saw was... something.

It was Lohen! And he was fighting a horde of monsters by himself! Oh my goodness, he could get seriously hurt! Or worse!

You ran to the kitchen to grab a knife and ran to the scene as fast as you could! Hopefully Lohen was okay and you weren't too lat-

Ah-

It looks like he dealt with the horde by himself, all the monsters are down! You looked a bit ridiculous with the knife in your hand.

But Lohen looks bruised up! You ran to him and offered to patch his wounds with ointments and your special cream puffs and he accepted your offer!

Bruises and all, Lohen was smiling, he had a real goofy smile too.. does he not care about his wounds? Or is he used to this?

You sat him down and began to clean his wounds gently, during the cleaning, the two of you begin to talk! You asked him why he was fighting a bunch of monsters at night.. he responded: "I was going on a nightly stroll! Nothing out of the ordinary! These cream puffs are amazing by the way! I like the tingling sensation it gives.. hehe."

Lohen didn't want to admit it out loud but it felt so, so.. good. And your pastries were divine! He didn't know that they could also heal his wounds! He's so happy that he got to meet you, even if it was like this! You were so kind and gracious to him!! What a sweetheart! Your like a bunny surrounded by a bunch of wolves..

Today was another beautiful day.

It was always beautiful.

Because of you.

It was always because of you.

You.

You.

You.

Lohen couldn't be happier. He felt more than happiness with you.

With you, he didn't need to feel like he had to fight to feel alive. You made him alive.

Life isn't perfect, neither is he. He has no idea why someone as generous and kind as you would fall for a disgusting freak like him.

You said that you loved his honesty and how he was dedicated to his role to protect.

You said you loved him because of his confidence.

You said you loved him because of his benevolence.

You said you loved how he didn't hide who he was.

You said that you loved him for being him.

He hated it when he thought about your death. Of course, death comes to all. But he wants to live in this delusion that the two of you will live together. Happily. Forever and ever. Pure bliss. Pure joy. Only joy.

No.

This isn't right.

He is a fool to think that death would stop just because the two of you were in love.

He of all people should know that death never stops. Never.

And it didn't stop for you.

It had been half a year since your sudden death.

4 months before your death, you were diagnosed with a deadly disease that had no cure, but there were treatments that could help with lowering the severity of the disease. There was hope, though that hope twisted into despair as the treatments were not helping.

He told you to not give up.

You said it wasn't giving up. It was acceptance.

No.

He didn't want this. Neither did you.

But unlike you, he couldn't accept this. He still can't.

He visits your grave whenever he can. Sometimes he comes with gifts. Other times he sits down and talks to you.

And sometimes, he sees you in the cottage you used to live in. It is old and abandoned, but when he catches those glimpses of you, the cottage looks as if it's alive and new.

It hurts. Even after all this time. It still hurts. Why couldn't he die with you?

Lohen is absolutely devoted to you. The relationship that the two of you share is unbreakable in his eyes.

You won't ever have to worry about his loyalty fading away or his love! It's unwavering! He would do anything for you if you asked him too! He might as well kiss the ground that you walk on..

Some will call him a freak, others will call it obsession, but he'll take it as a compliment!

Lohen adores physical touch. He loves holding your hands, hugging your waist, and caressing your cheeks. His body is cold. Your body is warm. You are like a fire, and his frozen heart unthaws slowly whenever he is around you. Oh, you're so sweet to him. Please, don't ever leave him.

''How can someone as kind and sweet as you be with Lohen?! He's crazy and deranged!" "Y-Yeah! That guy is a problem! Why the hell would Grandmaster Varka allow him to be with the Knights of Favonius?"

''Y/N.. you should be careful around him. He could hurt you! Or worse!" You've heard it all before. Lohen is untrustworthy. He's scary. He'll hurt you. But you didn't bother to indulge in it. You knew it was false. Because you saw the side of him that he doesn't show to anyone else.

Behind the bloodthirsty, battle-crazed Lohen, there was a soft and tender Lohen. He enjoyed the silence with you and loved it whenever your fingers intertwined with each other. He adored it when you combed his hair with your soft fingers. And he could feel his heart melt whenever you hummed your sweet tune to soothe his mind.
