dan heng
on first glance, it isn't at all obvious that this guy is into you. it may even look like he doesn'r really care about you, but you know that's far from the truth. it's just his placid demeanor. but march, who has known him for quite a while, clearly sees a difference in the way he acts around you, and doesn't waste a second to share her intel with you.
his solemn gaze of grey wanders to you more often than not, and once his eyes are on you, one could even catch him right up staring at you. discreetly, of course, but march notices. he finds excuses to be near you, even inviting you to join him in the archive room more often. he grows protective over you on trailblaze missions, often stepping between you and potential hazards to shield you from harm. the funniest thing – march's opinion – is how he is sometimes at a loss for words around you, which isn't like him at all. he stammers and falls silent, frustrated because he knows, too, that he's acting out of character and he's afraid that his crush will become obvious. i mean, it doesn't go by unnoticed, march knows. but despite that, he means to talk to you more, which says a lot because he usually remains silent even when conversations arise. he loves to hear your voice, so if he has to initiate conversations to listen to you, he gladly does so.
gepard landau
this guy is so obvious and it's adorable. the always so cool and collected captain of the silvermane guards, suddenly becoming a stuttering and blushy mess whenever a certain person is around? everyone notices, and he knows everyone knows. he tries so hard to hide it but fails miserably.
geppie loves seeing you around, and even though his entire demeanor falters when he finds you approaching him, he quickly scrambles himself together and offers you a cool smile. but the silvermane guards all noticed the switch in their captain. they don't tease him, though; that's serval's job. oh well, as long as he can hide it from you, he's happy. you have this effect on him, his palm turns sweaty and the strong and tough captain suddenly is a lost puppy trailing after you. whenever he knows he's near you, he makes sure to stop by, even when he's supposed to be on patrol. when it's you who's stopping by when he's on duty, his eyes light up adorably, and he has to look away for a second to contain the blush that creeps up his cheeks. gepard is an absolute mess when he has a crush, so you're bound to find out at some point – maybe when serval starts playing cupid?
luka
oh, this guy. always so carefree and optimistic. i swear to the aeons, he probably won't last long until he just straight-up confesses that he has a crush on you. but before he literally tells you so, he makes it quite obvious (deliberately) that he is into you. i won't say he's overly confident or anything, he just doesn't see the point of hiding it. seriously, what good does hiding your feelings bring?
his smile is a little brighter whenever he's around you, and his pretty blue eyes light up cutely. he loves it when you laugh at his jokes, so he cracks a few more – causing his friends to roll their eyes but he doesn't care, he just wants to hear you laugh. his fighting spirit turns up a notch when he's in the ring and he finds you in the crowd, and he might show off just a little to impress you. he likes to talk about you to his buddies, even when they get tired of hearing it (he doesn't care). i can see him as a touchy guy, so one of his ways to wordlessly convey his feelings is by touching you; draping an arm over your shoulders as you joke around together, taking your hand when he wants you to follow him, lightly touching your arm whenever the two of you talk, and so on – all while making sure you're comfortable with it. but as i said, this doesn't last long before he just wings it and confesses.
sampo koski
it's hard to expect when you're dealing with this man, since he's always nice to everyone and tries their best to flatter them – mostly to get something out of it or to get away with something. but when it comes to you, there's a sheen of sincerity in his eyes – which hasn't been seen often before.
aeons, for the ones familiar with sampo, they are so confused by what they see. it's always so obvious the guy is scheming something, sucking up to people because he needs their service or anything like that. but then there's you, and his friendliness suddenly seem a lot more genuine. and believe me, he is being genuine indeed. you've heard the stories about sampo that circulate around belobog, and you aren't too sure whether you fall for his act or not. but again, it's safe, as he's really into you and just shows his best side – but this time without underlying intentions. if any, his confident act is faltering and he gets a little shy/self-aware. you often catch him looking away, scratching the back of his neck as he doesn't know how to act or what to say around you. he is so used to sucking up to people for the wrong purposes, he doesn't quite know how to do this and it's kinda adorable.
Sometimes I'm sad that the game doesn't have Luka's phrase about Clara, so sometimes I think they could sit while Clara fixes his arm after Luka helped her carry broken robots
๑ – synopsis : luka is your best friend. he is probably, if not, the best fighter in the underworld you know too. however, as of late, it seems he's been getting a bit too distracted in the cage, causing for some.. less than sightly injuries that you normally patch up without a second thought. you can excuse it maybe once or twice, but almost every single time he's in a fight? you need to find out what's up with this blockhead yourself.
๑ – notes : tbh, luka hasn't really come out yet and it's kind of ironic that i'm posting this right after the 1.2 livestream soo.. ehe. however, i took one look at him in his drip marketing and i fell in love♡ btw, reader is kind of mean in this but it's just cuteness aggression or whatever :P

"hold still, idiot."
"ow! hey, i'm trying- why're you being so rough?!- oww!"
LUKA whined as you huffed in annoyance, pulling harshly at the gauze you were wrapping around his heavily bruised arm. "you weren't complaining when you let yourself get beat up in the cage, were you?"
the redhead beside you pouted, letting you tug his arm around as you skillfully wrapped up the area where he had been rammed into by an automaton spider, and your gaze quickly flits to the second wound he sustained - a deep gash in his side, caused by an automaton grizzly's blade.
"i didn't let them beat me up, i just.. y'know, got distracted." luka averted his gaze, sweat-dropping as he saw your irritated glower in the corner of his eye. "got distracted, you say?"
you cross your arms, raising a suspicious brow as you look him up and down. luka's fiery locks are disheveled, void of the hair tie that keeps it up. his bright cerulean eyes are now tinged with the slightest hint of embarrassment, and similar to his hair - his face is flushed bright red.
"uh.. yes..?" he almost questions, and you let out another exasperated sigh, lightly flicking his mechanical arm and earning a small thnk noise as you do. you continue to pepper small talk and scoldings as you return to the task at hand, reaching to your side to pluck the bottle of rubbing alcohol off the floor, applying a generous amount to a small cotton pad before starting to clean off the cut.
luka winces, but falls silent, and you can feel his gaze burning into the side of your head as you work. once his wound is clean, you press the gauze against the gash and get to work yet again, meticulously wrapping up the wound and making sure it's tight.
"so, tell me what you were distracted by." you start to speak, and his eyes widen, blinking almost dumbly. it'd be cute if you weren't annoyed with him right now - how many times this week has he gotten distracted in the middle of a fight?
"h-huh..? what do you mean?" he chuckles, still not meeting your eyes. his avoidance of confrontation somehow fuels your irritation, so you gently reach over to pinch his cheek, redirecting his gaze towards you.
"you heard me, luka," you lean in closer, studying his bandage adorned mien with a critical eye, and you swear his face seems to glow brighter at your proximity. "what distracted you this time?"
luka tries to pull his head away, but you only tighten your grip, and causes his face to scrunch up as you squish his (strangely smooth) cheeks. "o-oh, you know, the usual stuff.. the lights were pretty bright- t-the noise!-" "luka."
at your commanding tone, luka's eyes flicker to yours - once, twice - before his adam's apple bobs, and he clears his throat. then, his voice comes out as a hoarse whisper, akin to that of a man in a desert with no water. or, well, in his case, a man suffering from insanely fast heart palpitations. you sigh heavily at his bulging eyes and panicked expression. "luka, if you don't want to tell me-"
"you. i was distracted by you."
...
the silence that follows is thick enough to slice with a blade, and he's stopped trying to meet your now dumbfounded gaze. "it's stupid, i know," luka sighs after a moment, looking like a kicked puppy. "sorry for making this so awkwa- mph!-"
you stop his incessant rambling by squishing his cheeks slightly harder, and his lips twist as he gives you an incredulous look. "..you idiot.." you mutter, voice uncharacteristically gentle as your eyes soften at his expression.
"i'm sorry." luka pouts slightly, and you swear, nothing's holding you back anymore. the next moment, you've leaned even closer, and you've planted a small kiss on one of the bandages on his stupidly adorable face. luka's bright pink, but the sulk that had once adorned his face had now turned into the biggest, dumbest grin you've ever seen in your life.
"whatever," you roll your eyes, but luka can see the slight blush that tints your own cheeks, and the fact that you can't hide your own small smile either. "you know, if i was distracting you while you were in the cage, you could have told me. i would have stopped coming so you could focus."
now that gets luka's attention, because just like a switch was flipped, he's back to whining playfully, and his mechanical arm reaches over to grab your wrist. "and have my lucky charm miss out on me absolutely kicking ass in the ring? no way!"
you deadpan. he really has a way of confusing you - going from droopy puppy to a golden retriever in seconds. he notices your look, and his grin turns cheeky, nudging your side. "i never said being distracted by you was a bad thing. i would lose all my fights if it meant seeing your pretty face every second of the day."
you blink, a little stunned by his confession, but you shake it off with a sigh. well, it seems he was all patched up, and judging from his flirty comebacks, he was feeling well again.
"you seem better already. i guess i'll take my leave, then-" "not yet!"
luka's grip tightens on your wrist, and you wince as the metal digs into your skin. he notices, and quickly lets up a little. "you still haven't given me an answer." now this confuses you even more, and your brows furrow. "wha-"
luka cuts you off by pressing his own kiss to your cheek, and now it's your turn for your face to turn the color of his hair. you stare at each other, his eyes glinting with mischief whilst yours reflect utter confusion.
and then, luka gets a roll of bandages to the face.
"ouch! come on, (y/n)!"
"shut up, you moron."
and even as luka whines about how you've 'injured his heart,' and that 'you'll need to heal him again with more of your sweet kisses' - you can't fight back against the affectionate smile that spreads across your face.
luka pauses as he sees you, openly smiling at him instead of hiding your face, or glaring at him as he normally sees you doing. so, he matches your look, and leans in to gently nuzzle your cheek with his nose.
"see what i mean? you're way too pretty to not be a distraction."
