“ zero! “ someone isn’t sounding so happy ; voice echoing through the temporary camp set up as he walks through the halls of the decrepit building. @laeviathan / call.
“ you’ll get yourself KILLED. “ anger / hostility ; preferences to the caged && locked kindness the prince abandoned somewhere in the deepest, darkest corners of his mind.
zero & longinus’ relationship hadn’t started smoothly ; longinus was originally extremely hostile towards zero & company when first meeting, as longinus seemed to be more on the side of beasts rather than humanities side. although the accusation was later lifted slightly, a new set of problems was quickly introduced. it’s after their third encounter ( & second battle), longinus’ sudden & surprising recollection of his sanity & body from the beast blood in his system, that he begrudgingly joins their group. ( forced to. )
although he understands the fear & worry that pushed the group to force him to stay ( they can’t risk him going beast again & not returning, causing many more casualties than need be ) it doesn’t mean he had enjoyed the thought at first ; still, he doesn’t. at first, he kept mostly to yakumo, also known as the female longinus. he’d find the time to continue his rigorous training, & eventually zero started to help him, sparring alongside the holy lance.
it’s their sparring sessions that first help them learn about each other, how they fight, think, & move. because of the amount of time spent together in that environment, their duel support has grown exponentially & when fighting together, become a force to be reckoned with, taking out large enemies with ease.
evolving into more of a friendship, longinus began to find solace & enjoyment in zero’s company, though always kept himself gruff & distant, as he was determined to do. though he intended to keep himself at arms length with everyone, save for yakumo, he & zero grew closer & closer ; talking, fighting together, sparring. it became obvious to them, after a while, how their relationship changed again ; nus no longer strayed far from zero, & vise versa ; if given rooms, one always went to the other’s room.
if asked, longinus would deny it, only admitting to few people that yes, something more grew between them, & that he, somewhere down the line, undoubtedly slowly fell in love with zero. while their status was never explicitly stated between each other, the two do consider themselves “off the market”.
for nus, personally, zero is the one who keeps him grounded most times, & helps with the impact of war. though he’s a strong individual & one that survived for some time on his own, he has an appreciation for the comfort & warmth he gets from zero. he by no means needs someone, but that doesn’t mean he can’t enjoy & be grateful for it. he’s still a bit of an asshole to zero, something that will never change with him, & their sparring continues without interruption or downgrade in strength used ( in fact, they’re probably harder on each other than before. )
he does often sleep with zero, as he’s the only person he’s willing to do so around, for relaxation, easier time falling to sleep, & a less chance of nightmares or night terrors. unfortunately backfires do exist... mainly that there are some mornings where the both of them are lazy, & refuse to get up just to enjoy the others warmth.
‘ no. ’ a downward curve of a corner of his lips, head tilting up slightly as he glares down with one gold eye at the smaller killer prince ; a low snarl emitting from slightly parted lips. while normally he’d be willing to give it without fight or hesitation, it was a DIFFERENT story when they’re around others. then, he becomes more hesitant ; aggressive.
