Doctor, the problem's in my chest
Chapter 6
Sampo breaks his promise as soon as Gepard falls asleep.
Gepard had been drained and fatigued, his panic attack and the threat of the fragmentum monster having exhausted him. Sampo usually would’ve protested and insisted Gepard eat something when he tries to say he’s not hungry, but that time Gepard had seemed so small, worn, a bleary shadow of himself. It was unnecessary, Gepard able to get around by himself well enough, but at the slightest wince Sampo rushed to Gepard and helped him into the bedroom, tucking Gepard in like a child despite his flustered protests.
He’d stood in the wide open doorway as Gepard sank into the mattress, the comforter thrown over him messily. He’d fallen asleep practically as soon as he’d settled in, the awkward way he’d shuffled his injured leg and the uncomfortable twist of his expression melting away in the blink of an eye. Sampo still watched him, the soft rise and fall of his breathing under the blankets and how he’d curled in on himself in his sleep. His blood was unsettled, something still anxious and frantic humming in his bones, but he had to forcibly peel himself off the doorframe and look away.

Your writing is so pretty !! I really love your characterization ngl. I feel like you're great at keeping them in character! I was wondering if you could do some hcs of Blade, Dan Heng and Gepard having a crush on a more experienced/older member? For an example, Dan Heng having a crush on an experienced Nameless who was on the Express before him and sort of was the one who was more hands on with helping him learn the ropes. The same implies with the other two for their respective occupations. Idk, I see a lot of character x new member person but never the reverse. I think it's a little cute lol.
Thank you for reading and thanks double if you write it!!

hi anon!!! ♡(ミ ᵕ̣̣̣̣̣̣ ﻌ ᵕ̣̣̣̣̣̣ ミ)ノ I was a big fan of this req ever since you first sent it in! I agree, there's so many "omg reader is an inexperienced baby and the character helps them and falls for them<3" but where's my characters getting swept off their feet by READER who's the senior member fr?!?!? no hate to anyone who writes the former, but I really like strong and capable readers !!!!! enjoy the req <3
Tumblr media
⊹ Gepard Landau
Gepard pretty much knew you from the second he joined up with the Silvermane Guards.
As a Landau, it was always his duty, so he'd striven to do his best. However, just because it was his duty to stand at the top of the Supreme Guardian's defenses, doesn't mean he never looked up to anyone.
Despite being similar in age, you'd been a member of the guards far longer than he, enough to stand at the rank of Lieutenant before he had even joined.
At first, it really was just admiration. That, and a sense of seeking mentorship.
He'd follow you around like a lost puppy, the then-humble private Gepard trying to get any pointers he could from you
Would ask you to train with him now and then, or would ask how he can best show his dedication to the guards
Being so busy, however, you rarely had time to entertain these wishes.
Even as a Lieutenant and not a Captain, there were certain duties you had to uphold yourself. If you bowed to the whims of every Silvermane Guard, you'd be nothing more than an errand runner, or perhaps just a simple trainer.
You did notice him, though—how could you not?
He was the eldest son of the Landaus, of all families.
Not to mention, his achievements already far outweighed his ranking.
You only provided minimal guidance when he sought it, and yet here he was, smashing every expectation.
Gepard didn't of you as anything other than a superior, someone to strive after and look up to. Even as he took the ranking of Captain and rose above your station, he still deferred to you on many things.
He would seek your advice in handling situations, and the two of you began working closer every day.
Outside of normal duty, the two of you began talking as well—however, it was mostly about work.
Even with all of that, he still saw you as nothing more than someone to be respected. He still saw you as just a superior, surely. That's all it was.
Those fluttering feelings in his chest when you bested him in a spar? Pure awe at your superior strength and wit in battle.
The heating of his cheeks when you'd toss him your water flask, telling him to drink up and get back on his feet? Just a minor cold, he was sure of it.
Well, for a while, at least, he could justify it as such...
One day, he arrived to his greenhouse after work—a place for his lackluster hobby of keeping flowers—only to find you, the Lieutenant he admired, watering each bud and taking careful care of each petal.
"W-What are you doing here, Lieutenant Y/N?!"
"Ah, forgive me for intruding. Ms. Sergeyevna was unavailable, so Serval asked me to check on your flowers."
You then chuckled a bit.
"Also, you're above me in ranking now, Captain Gepard. No need for the formalities."
And when you smiled, it sent a bolt of lightning straight through Gepard's chest—something he couldn't brush off or ignore any more.
You looked radiant.
He had to get out of there quickly.
"W-Well, thank you for your help! I best be off..."
Before he left, though, he couldn't help but pause, fidgeting at the door.
"Something the matter?"
"Erm..." Gepard was stammering, ready to smack himself over the head for his blunder. "I-If there's no need for formalities, then there's no need for you to refer to me as 'Captain' outside of work, Lieute—" He cut himself off. "Y/N... So..."
You only smiled.
"Okay, Gepard."
When Gepard ran (or rather, stiffly marched) back home after that little exchange, he was beating himself up mentally for such a foolish request.
And yet, the red of his cheeks and the pounding of his heart never did quite dissipate.
Tumblr media
⊹ Blade
In Blade's mind, there wasn't much to say about you.
You were a fellow Stellaron Hunter—so?
He was mostly only assigned to Kafka thanks to her Spirit Whisper calming his mara.
Not to mention, the day he arrived to the Stellaron Hunters, you weren't even present. On a mission, as Elio had said.
However, the two of you would eventually cross paths when Kafka was assigned to a separate mission (after ensuring Blade would be stable during her absence, of course).
"This is Y/N. They have assisted the course of destiny for many years now. Be courteous to them."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Blade."
The first thing Blade noticed was how you were... warmer than he expected.
Kafka didn't have much to say on you other than non-answers (her usual go-to for any questions) and Silver Wolf had only mentioned you being scary.
Had she perhaps meant... in battle?
Surely the person before him wasn't scary in any capacity.
You were skilled, yes—once he went on jobs with you, he could easily tell why you were still a successful member of the Stellaron Hunters.
In any other situation, perhaps he would've said he admired your prowess.
However, you were still but an enigma, and for a long time, Blade didn't like that.
He chose to keep his distance where he could. While he would obey you in missions to assist Elio to his full capacity, he never actively hung around you if he didn't have to.
Despite this, you seemed to hang around him as much as you pleased, and against his obvious displeasure.
"Blade, would you like a snack? I brought plenty for this particular job, since it could get long."
"That coat can't be comfortable all the time. Why don't we go and get you a new one? It's not bad to have options."
"Is your hair getting in the way? I can braid it or tie it back."
He'd never answer you at first. Your kindness was uncomfortable.
However, one day, he did. And he still doesn't quite know why.
"Blade, your bandages are unraveling again. Should I rewrap them?"
"...If you must."
You had stopped at that. Blade actually answered you?
"Haha, I was beginning to wonder if you had a voice at all! C'mere, I'll do those right up for you."
The gentle feeling of your hands redoing the bandages across his battered body did not make Blade flush, nor did his heart rate accelerate.
But a fuzzy feeling had wormed its way into his chest, and he didn't want to think about what it could mean.
But even if he didn't think about its meaning, surely it wouldn't hurt to pursue it from time to time?
It certainly felt better than the agony of mara rife through his walking corpse of a body.
Blade began spending time with you, even outside of missions.
You were reading somewhere? He'd suddenly appear beside you, claiming to be at a loss for things to do, thus he decided to sit for a while.
You were in your room? He'd ask if he could sit in the corner and polish his sword—the lighting in your room was best for such care.
You were about to head out on a solo mission? He'd either ask Elio to accompany you and appear just as you were to head out, or if he was denied, he'd ask you to tie his hair back before he went in case he was called out—Kafka and Silver Wolf, he claimed, could never do it quite right.
It's honestly very endearing.
This big, scary beast of a man becomes a stubborn kitten in your presence, never willing to admit he desires your presence but seeking it out anyways.
And to Blade, that's fine.
He doesn't need words to tell you how he feels.
Hell, he'd probably be loathe to speak his feelings into existence himself. He's still in denial.
He'll continue to show you in just the way he always has—being as close by your side as he can.
Tumblr media
⊹ Dan Heng
Unlike with Blade, Dan Heng has some level of interest in you from the start.
You're there when Himeko brings him aboard, introducing him to her fellow Nameless as the newest member.
To be fair, though, he does have some sort of interest in every member of the Nameless, but something about you is a tad different.
You appear younger than Himeko or Welt, likely closer to his own physical age.
That alone makes you somewhat more approachable.
Not that Dan Heng is really approaching anyone on the express right away, though...
It definitely takes you stepping up and approaching him first for him to open up.
It probably starts with you helping him out.
He's always diligent about obeying your advice and help.
As independent as Dan Heng can be, he's respectful to your authority as a more experienced Nameless.
(Not that there's much of a hierarchy or seniority in the Nameless, but he respects you anyhow.)
He's having trouble compiling all the information for a certain entry? You're pointing out things he missed, sort of like a beta reader.
When the two of you are exploring the latest planet you've stopped by, you keep him safe against dangerous monsters (not that he's incapable of fighting, but he appreciates the assistance)
If he's looking for the next volume of a book he's been reading, you're the first to find and get it for him.
And if it's not on the Express, you fetch it for him elsewhere.
You're very open, which he's not used to—Himeko and Mr. Yang tend to leave him to his own devices, after all—but it's not a bad feeling, per se.
He begins to take notice of the ways you stand by him, help him, watch his back.
Not to mention, the manner in which you try to ensure he's welcome at every turn, considering your senior status as one of the Nameless and his relative recent arrival.
As you spend time with him, it's only a matter of time before you can nonverbally understand the quiet Xianzhou native.
"..."
"..."
"Hmm, I see. I'll go get you the latest volume, Dan Heng. I'm sure they sell it on this planet, too—I've been to their bookstores before."
"Thanks."
Himeko and Welt don't really know quite what goes on when this happens.
Over time, you're always the first to communicate for Dan Heng if he isn't present, which he truly does appreciate.
"Dan Heng would like whatever, as usual. Can you prepare the breakfast I had last time, Pom-Pom? He seemed to enjoy it when he tried mine."
"Oh, Dan Heng won't be joining us. Said he needs to organize the archives."
To anyone else, it might just look like a senior Nameless taking the new guy under their wing, but Mr. Yang and Himeko both grew to know better.
They both saw the way that Dan Heng looked at you when he thought no one else was looking at him.
Or perhaps he just didn't care as long as you didn't see the way his eyes shone, an almost imperceptible affection shining behind them.
They both noticed how Dan Heng would go out of his way on planets you weren't exploring to buy you a souvenir, or get you a snack reminiscent of your favorites.
Even March—when you, along with the other Nameless, finally discovered her and rescued her from her ice-prison—as a relatively new member could catch on to how he felt in just a few short weeks.
"Hey, Y/N! Are you and Dan Heng dati—"
"Shh!"
The pink-haired girl eventually had her curiosity sated every time she got to take a photo of Dan Heng's ever-slight smile at the sight of you returning to the Express.

》Gepard Landau
Tumblr media
Gepard was peacefully sleeping after a long day at the frontlines, when he heard you scream for him in absolute terror. He woke instantly, his body moving faster than his tired mind could follow, as he stumbled through the dark house to your room.
He switched on the lights once he reached you, his heart racing from the adrenaline that coursed through him. He was scared that you might've been hurt somehow, but was instantly relieved, when you seemed physically okay. Though, when he saw you sitting there crying and reaching for him, he understood what went wrong.
He'd gently cuddle up to you in bed and cradle you in arms, as he softly hushes you and reassures you that nothing in this world will be able to hurt you when he was here. He swears it on his life as the captain of the Silvermaneguards. He lulls you back to sleep, before finally doing so himself with a satisfied sigh.
-----♡
》Dan Heng
Tumblr media
His eyes snapped open instantly, when he heard you cry out his name next him, as you shook him awake in fear. He sat up tiredly, rubbing his eyes, before gently pulling you into a hug and patting your head in slight confusion. He asks you if everything was alright, before humming in understanding, when you reveal in chocked sobs what had happened.
Dan Heng gets nightmares often as well and knows how scary they can be. You being a child makes it even worse ofcourse. And therefore, he decides to reach out for a book you like, before he begins reading it to you to calm you down.
Thankfully, it works well and you quickly fall back to sleep, weakly clinging onto his shirt. Dan Heng can't help but smile, when he sees how peaceful you look again, as he puts away the book and pulls the blanket over your small form next to him, before falling asleep once more.
-----♡
》Welt Yang
Tumblr media
It takes a moment for Welt to wake up properly, when you shake him awake and call his name in fear with heartbreaking sobs. He hums in confusion, his hand automatically reaching for his glasses, before he opens a lamp. Once he does, you immideatly crawl onto his bed and under the blankets, shivering in fear.
He'll pat your head, already knowing what happened, before gently asking if you'd like to talk about it. He won't pressure you to and if you say no, he'll gently redirect you to look at the passing stars outside of the Astral express in order to distract you.
He'll tell you all about them in very boring detail, until you finally calm down and fall asleep again. Welt will chuckle at the sight of you peacefully sleeping, before closing the light, taking off his glasses and going right back to sleep with a satisfied nod. He just hoped, that his presence will keep away the nightmares for now.
-----♡
》Blade
Tumblr media
Blade at first doesn't really react, mainly as he was way too tired at the moment to register your cry for help. But the moment you scream his name, this man is up and ready to tear down any enemy who's hurting you. With his sword in hand, he'll make his way to your room in an instant, eyes glaring into the darkness, before he stops.
You were sitting in your bed all alone, clutching your head and crying for him. Blade is confused at first, asking you where the enemy is, before you tell him through chocked sobs, that you had a nightmare. He stands there for a moment, contemplating on what to do, before he sighs and lowers his sword.
Then, he simply sits down on a chair near your bed and begins polishing his sword with a huff. He'll tell you to go back to sleep and that he'll keep watch to make sure that none of those nightmares return. And if they do, he'll just cut them down. Surely they won't dare show up if he's there. He'll only leave again, once he knows your asleep and alright, his eyes lingering with a certain softness, before he closes the door behind him.
-----♡
A/N: I hope this was alright, Anon! Thank you again for the request and sorry for the wait!<33
