WARNINGS: FEMALE READER + RELIGIOUS TOPICS + NOT PROOFREAD
NOTES: IM ALIVE GUYS I SWEAR IM ALIVE. ALSO, I DID THIS ON A WHIM SO IT MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST. SORRY AND THANK YOU.
Oh, you poor, unsuspecting soul.
You're about to hop on a roller coaster so wild and unpredictable that even the most hardcore adrenaline junkies would pause and reconsider their life choices before strapping in. Seriously, who could have predicted that someone as cold and ruthless as Zenon—yes, Zenon, the guy whose hobbies probably include brooding and looking dramatically into the distance—would ever let thoughts of anything other than his missions and duties creep into his mind?
And not just anyone, mind you, but a nun? The irony is ironing. Zenon falling for someone devoted to peace and virtue? It’s like discovering the Grim Reaper secretly volunteers at a kitten shelter on weekends. But hey, life has a funny way of throwing curveballs when you least expect them, and Zenon catching feelings might just be the curveball of the century.
Zenon's interest in you doesn't start as love—oh no, that would be too simple, too human. Instead, it begins as a fixation, a curiosity he can’t quite shake. You see, he’s drawn to your purity, your unwavering faith, and that infuriating devotion to something greater than yourself. For someone like Zenon, whose life is steeped in shadows and bloodshed, these qualities are both intriguing and utterly alien. It’s like he’s found a rare, delicate flower growing in the middle of a battlefield—something that shouldn’t exist, and yet, here it is, flourishing despite the chaos.
Your kindness and warmth are stark contrasts to the cold, brutal world Zenon knows so well. To him, you're almost like a living embodiment of everything he's not—and, frankly, everything he’s never wanted to be. Zenon is perfectly content with his dark, brooding existence; thank you very much. The idea of being anything else? Laughable. But still, there’s something about your devoted nature that tugs at him in ways he doesn't fully understand.
It’s not love—at least not yet—but there’s definitely something there, something that keeps him coming back, if only to try and figure out why someone like you exists in a world like his.
Zenon doesn’t harbor any outward disgust toward religion—he’s not the type to waste energy on something as trivial as disdain. Instead, religion just makes him tilt his head slightly, those dark, intimidating eyes narrowing as if he's trying to solve a puzzle he doesn’t really care about. He’s genuinely baffled by how someone could be so dedicated, so selfless, so utterly consumed by their devotion to something intangible. How could anyone willingly bind themselves to something as abstract as faith?
If we're being completely honest here, Zenon probably finds the whole concept of religion utterly useless. In his mind, power is the only currency that matters, and in the face of overwhelming strength, everything else—including religion—seems trivial at best. He sees religion as something that would only hold a person back, a crutch that prevents them from grasping real power. After all, why rely on divine intervention when you can take matters into your own hands?
But does he care if someone else wants to cling to their faith? Not really. Zenon’s not interested in converting anyone to his worldview; he’s too focused on his own goals for that. If people want to hold themselves back with their religious beliefs, that’s their problem, not his. He just shrugs it off, filing it away as another incomprehensible quirk of humanity that he doesn’t need to understand and thinks it just holds everyone back.
But anyway—over time, this curiosity of his starts to twist and morph into something far more dangerous—an obsession. As this obsession deepens, Zenon begins to rationalize the strange feelings he's grappling with, trying to make sense of them in a way that aligns with his dark worldview. He starts to see your innocence as something fragile, something that needs to be protected—by him and only him.
Of course, Zenon’s idea of protection isn’t exactly comforting. It's dark, suffocating, and possessive. In his mind, the only way to keep you truly safe is to isolate you from the world, to lock you away where no one else can reach you or taint your purity. This twisted logic extends to everyone around you, even those closest to you, like Sister Lily and Father Orsi.
Sure, even if they’re like your family, even if you dearly love them with every fiber of your being, and even if Zenon knows all of this—he still sees them as obstacles. And let’s be real; that’s not exactly surprising. To him, they’re not threats, just hurdles he needs to clear before claiming his prize: you. I’m not saying he’d immediately jump to murder, but it’s definitely crossed his mind. Whether he goes that far depends entirely on how much resistance they put up.
Zenon isn’t one for subtlety or long-winded schemes. He’s not going to waste time orchestrating elaborate events to make it seem like Sister Lily or Father Orsi are in danger or untrustworthy—that’s just too much work for something he could easily solve by just killing them. He’s got power, and he’s more than willing to use it to carve a quicker, more direct path to you. If they become too much of a nuisance, well, let’s just say Zenon’s not above using lethal force to clear the way. Sorry, but in his mind, it’s a simple equation: they’re in his way, and he’s not one to let anything stand between him and what he wants. Of course, if by some miracle Sister Lily and Father Orsi step aside and let him through—though let’s be real, that’s about as likely as Zenon deciding to take up knitting—they might just live to see another day.
That being said, once Zenon realizes that he’s not just obsessed with you and that his feelings run far deeper than mere fixation, well, say goodbye to your freedom. Forever.
Zenon’s first move would be to isolate you completely, cutting you off from everyone and everything you’ve ever known. He wouldn’t hesitate to threaten the lives of those around you if it meant coercing you into submission. It’s just a necessary step to secure your loyalty and your obedience. He’d present himself as your only protector, the one person who can truly keep you safe in a world filled with chaos, danger, and evil—a world that’s constantly trying to kill that innocence you have. To Zenon, this isn’t just a twisted power play; it’s an act of love. He genuinely believes that by keeping you close, by holding you tight in his suffocating grip, he’s shielding you from the darkness that he knows all too well.
And yes, Zenon is the very embodiment of that darkness, the very thing he’s supposedly protecting you from, but in his mind, that’s just more reason for you to stay with him. You’re precious, sacred even, and he can’t bear the thought of losing you—especially after what happened with Allen. Oh how much you remind him of that sunshine boy, that bright light that was snuffed out too soon. He doesn’t want to experience that pain again, that devastating loss. So he convinces himself that this is the only way, that by keeping you close, he’s protecting both you and himself from a repeat of the past.
But while Zenon is dead set on “protecting” your purity as a nun, he's also not above trying to chip away at the very core of what makes you who you are. He takes a strange satisfaction in subtly undermining your faith, poking holes in the foundations of your beliefs whenever he gets the chance. He'll challenge your views on life, death, and the morality of your God, all while weaving in his own twisted philosophy, as if trying to make you see the world through his cold, unforgiving eyes.
As much as he’s intrigued by your devotion, it also kinda grates on him. How can someone be so unwavering in the face of a world as dark and merciless as this one? He might be your self-appointed protector, but there’s a part of him that wants to see you stumble—a lot, actually. Zenon’s not satisfied with just keeping you safe; he wants to break your spirit and mold you into someone who sees the world the way he does. He’s not just after your obedience—he wants your mind, your very soul, to align with his own warped perspective.
In fact, at some point, Zenon would likely want you to abandon your faith altogether. He’d see it as a weakness, something that blinds you to the harsh realities he believes in. In his mind, your faith and ideals are naïve, a set of fragile beliefs that will only lead to your destruction if left unchecked. He sees his efforts to sway you as an act of mercy, a twisted form of salvation. To him, if you could just shed those old beliefs and embrace his darker, more “realistic” worldview, you’d be stronger for it—stronger and safer, as far as he’s concerned.
So while Zenon might claim to be protecting your purity, the truth is much more sinister. He wants to strip away everything that makes you who you are, to rebuild you in his own image, and in doing so, bind you to him in a way that goes far beyond physical control. To him, that’s the ultimate act of protection: not just guarding your body, but reshaping your very soul.
Moreover, Zenon’s icy logic and emotional detachment would make it utterly futile to try and reason with him—even if you’re usually a master at persuading others. With him, all your skills in negotiation and reasoning would hit an unyielding wall. Zenon isn't the kind of man who can be swayed by emotional appeals or logical arguments. His mind is set, and once he’s decided on something, there’s no changing it. If you ever attempted to escape or reach out for help, you’d quickly learn just how unforgiving he can be. Any act of defiance would be met with swift and brutal consequences, the kind that would make you think twice about ever trying it again.
Zenon doesn’t see you as an individual with your own thoughts, feelings, and agency. To him, you’re a precious, pure possession—something to be guarded, controlled, and kept away from the world. He might speak of love, but his version of it is suffocating, possessive, and devoid of the genuine respect and care that real love requires. Instead of being cherished as a person, you’re reduced to an object of obsession, someone whose freedom and autonomy are sacrificed on the altar of his twisted affections.
In Zenon’s mind, the endgame is crystal clear. He’s convinced that by breaking your will and dismantling the person you once were, he can rebuild you into something that aligns with his dark, twisted worldview. If you were to ever fully submit to his control, he’d see it as a victory—a validation of his power and a confirmation that his way is the only way. But here’s the thing: that victory wouldn’t bring Zenon any real peace or happiness. Despite his relentless pursuit, Zenon is a man consumed by darkness, and even if he managed to break you, he’d likely find himself staring into an abyss of his own making.
The purity and innocence that first drew Zenon to you would be gone, stripped away by his relentless need to control and reshape you. In their place would be something hollow and broken—a reflection of Zenon himself. He might have you under his thumb, but the person he was so fascinated by, the light that caught his attention, would be extinguished. And what then? Zenon is too far gone to appreciate what he’s lost, but on some level, he would likely feel the emptiness of his so-called victory.
Overall, Zenon’s pursuit of you is more than just a desire to possess; it’s a reflection of his own inner turmoil. He’s a man who, in trying to hold onto something pure, only succeeds in dragging both you and himself further into the darkness. The very thing that made you special to him—your purity—becomes a casualty of his obsession. And in trying to mold you into something that mirrors his own brokenness, Zenon only deepens his descent into the void, leaving behind nothing but the remnants of what once was and what could never be again.
Out of all his siblings, you'd never have expected him to have a crush on you. Zenon stands as the least popular among his siblings—well, he's still popular, but just a notch below the rest, you know? This is largely due to his tendency to avoid interactions with others. Overall, Zenon remains the same, even as a typical college student—quiet, intimidating, and stoic. He often gives off the impression that he'd rather be anywhere else, and at times, it seems like he simply hates everyone around him.
You, however, are the exception to Zenon's usual demeanor. Despite his typical aloofness, you hold a special place in his gaze. Always seated at the back of the class where he can remain unseen, Zenon steals glances at you discreetly, ensuring no one catches on to his actions. Even if you were to sit beside him instead of somewhere at the front of the class, he'd still manage to steal glances at you without anyone, including yourself, noticing. Zenon's ability to remain covert in his admiration for you is uncanny—he may even attend class solely because you're there.
Zenon's gentlemanly demeanor is reserved exclusively for you. Whether it's holding doors open for you, carrying your belongings, or coming to your defense, he goes above and beyond to ensure your comfort and safety. However, there's a quirk to his chivalry—oftentimes, he'll open the door for you and let it slam shut on the person behind you, ignoring the glares and comments that follow. In Zenon's eyes, your well-being outweighs any inconvenience to others.
The only ones who ever catch onto Zenon's crush on you are his siblings, with Lucius being the first to notice. Dante and Vanica catch on a bit later. Once the whole group is aware, the teasing becomes endless and is followed almost everywhere by none other than Vanica and Dante themselves. Lucius joins in with some teasing but acts more as Zenon's hypeman. Whenever the three are present while you and Zenon are together, Zenon notices Dante and Vanica exchanging smirks and mischievous glances, which makes him want to roll his eyes at their nosiness. He suggests that you both go elsewhere, not wanting to alarm you by mentioning his siblings watchful eyes. As he leaves the area with you, he spots Lucius in the crowd, wearing a smug smirk, clearly being nosey too, adding to Zenon's frustration.
Zenon's way of expressing his interest is through subtle gestures that might go unnoticed unless you're paying very close attention. If you happen to get glasses, squint, and observe his actions with keen eyes, you might start to piece together his crush on you. However, on the surface, you might just think he's being nice and considers you a close friend. Some of these subtle gestures include leaving helpful notes to assist you with studying, leaving thoughtful bookmarks in your locker or textbooks, and bringing up topics he knows you're passionate about.

It's a serene afternoon, the gentle sunlight filtering through the library windows as you gather your things. The study session with Zenon has come to an end, and as you glance at him briefly, you notice that he seems lost in thought.
"Are you okay?" you ask, breaking the quietude.
Zenon snaps out of his reverie, his gaze meeting yours. If you just squinted just a bit, you would’ve notice how his normally stoic eyes seem to soften at the sight of you.
"I'm okay," he responds, his voice calm but perhaps carrying a hint of something more beneath the surface. You give Zenon a small nod, trusting that he's being truthful about being okay.
Just as you're about to slide your textbook into your backpack, Zenon's voice pierces through the tranquil atmosphere. "I have something to tell you."
Zenon's gaze locks onto yours, the intensity in his eyes palpable as he holds a strong and unwavering eye contact. There's no doubt now—whatever he has to say is significant. The room feels charged with an intensity you can't quite put into words. It's as if the air has shifted, and you can feel a nervous energy creeping up your spine. Something important is about to happen, and the anticipation leaves you on edge, your heart beating a little faster in your chest.
“I’m listening,” you say hesitantly.
Zenon inhales deeply, closing his eyes for a brief moment as he gathers his thoughts, steeling himself for what he's about to say. Despite the rapid thud of his heart against his chest, he's determined to be straightforward and direct. With a steadying breath, he opens his eyes, meeting yours with unwavering resolve.
"I like you," he declares, his voice steady and confident. Each word is enunciated with deliberate care, ensuring that you hear him loud and clear. In this moment, there's no room for ambiguity or hesitation—Zenon is making his feelings known with absolute clarity.
As Zenon's confession hangs in the air, it's now your turn to speak. Your heart races in your chest, the moment feeling almost surreal. It's just the two of you in the library, the sunlight filtering through the windows at a perfect angle, casting a warm glow around you both. It's a scene straight out of a cheesy romance movie, and yet, here you are, faced with a real-life confession. Now it's your turn to respond, and the gravity of the decision weighs heavily on your mind.
Will you accept the confession of a stoic heart that's clearly deeply in love with you? Or will you play the role of the oblivious friend?
Vanica holds second place for the most popular Zogratis sibling. Wherever she goes, she becomes the vibrant center of attention, known for her enthusiastic nature and fearless personality. Despite her picky and selective demeanor when it comes to choosing friends, she's always surrounded by a circle of admirers and companions. So if this lively girl has a crush on you, it must mean you’re reeeaaalll special.
With Vanica, it's like being under a constant spotlight, her gaze fixed on you like you're the most precious gem in existence—a gem that she deserves to be the guardian of. You could be going about your day, engrossed in your work, when you suddenly feel the weight of someone's stare. You turn your head and see Vanica's eyes locked on you with an intensity that's almost unnerving. If anyone calls her out on her staring, she'll respond with a fierce scowl and a sharp retort, firmly asserting that it's none of their business.
Vanica shares some similarities with Zenon in the gentlemanly department—or should I say gentlewomanly? However, there's a twist to her approach. Instead of personally assisting you with tasks like carrying your belongings, holding doors, or helping you study, she leaves these duties to her friends, treating them almost like her personal assistants. For instance, if you need help carrying your heavy backpack, she'll eagerly snatch it away from you and assign one of her friends to carry it. If you mention needing to study, she'll dismiss the idea entirely—no need to study when she and her friends can just help you cheat! And if your hands are full and you can't open a door, fear not—Vanica will simply command another one of her friends to open it for you. Yes, she can be bossy with her friends, but it’s all in the name of ensuring your comfort and convenience.
Vanica would absolutely love it if you met her siblings—all three of them! So, don't be too surprised if you're just chilling in the field, minding your own business, and suddenly Vanica enthusiastically shows up with Lucius, Dante, and Zenon in tow to introduce you to them. Lucius maintains an amused but calm expression throughout the encounter, always polite and composed. Dante, on the other hand, wears a mysterious smirk that hints at hidden knowledge, but he remains friendly toward you. Meanwhile, Zenon appears utterly bored, his demeanor dry and uninterested. It's natural to feel a bit intimidated in their presence, but rest assured—Vanica will make sure her brothers play nice with you!
It doesn't take a keen eye for anyone to notice Vanica's unmistakable obsession with you—everyone knows, including yourself. She goes to great lengths to keep tabs on you, often sending a couple of her friends to discreetly stalk you during lectures. They'll message her updates and send photos of what you're doing, with Dante possibly being in on this as well. In the end, there's no denying it—everyone is well aware of Vanica's infatuation with you.

Alone in the dimly lit hallway, frustration mounts as the vending machine stubbornly refuses to dispense the water bottle you desperately need after a long day of classes. You scowl at the machine, wondering why this inconvenience seems to happen to you of all people.
The thought crosses your mind that you've heard more people die from vending machines than from sharks—was it true? Well, you're about to find out. Steeling yourself, you prepare to give the machine a good kick, risking life and limb for that elusive water bottle you crave. Just as you're about to deliver the kick, a sudden voice startles you from behind, causing you to jump.
"Having trouble there, sweetheart?" The voice is unmistakably Vanica's, laced with amusement and a hint of mischief.
Whipping around, you come face-to-face with Vanica, standing there with a playful smirk, her eyes glinting with amusement at your startled expression.
"Vanica!" you exclaim, your heart still racing from the unexpected encounter. "What are you doing here?"
She chuckles, stepping closer with a twinkle in her eyes. "I’ve been here, cutie. Here, let me help you." Without waiting for your response, she confidently presses a few buttons on the vending machine. And just like that, almost as if she was the chosen one, the vending machine miraculously springs back to life. The sound of the bottle dropping into the dispenser echoes in the hallway as Vanica retrieves it for you.
With a teasing smile, she holds the water bottle out towards you, a playful glint in her eyes. But just as you reach out to take it, she swiftly pulls it back with a mischievous grin on her face, her playful demeanor evident. It seems Vanica has other plans in mind, enjoying the moment of suspense as she holds the water bottle just out of your reach.
"Ah, ah, ah," she taunts, her voice laced with amusement. "What’s the magic word, darling?” she teases, wiggling the water bottle enticingly. "Or perhaps," she adds, leaning in closer, "there's another way you can convince me to give you what you want." Her gaze holds a challenge.
You narrow your eyes at her, both in suspicion and annoyance. Whatever she had in mind, it sounded sketchy. A part of you knew where she was going with this, but you could never be too sure. Especially with someone as unpredictable as her.
You sigh, placing a hand on your hip and tilting your head at her, “well, what is it?”
Closing the distance between you, Vanica leans in even closer, her presence practically enveloping you. If she wasn't close enough before, she's certainly close enough now.
"Be mine," she says, her voice carrying a mix of affection and intensity. You can feel a small blush creeping onto your cheeks, the proximity of her deep red eyes gazing into yours both lovingly and intensely. In that moment, it almost feels like she's not asking you to be hers, but rather declaring that you already belong to her.
It's decision time, and the choice is yours.
Do you deny both the chance to experience the chaotic yet exhilarating journey of being in a relationship with Vanica and the simple pleasure of quenching your thirst with the water bottle? Or do you open your heart to her, allowing her into your life while also satisfying your immediate need for refreshment?
As the charismatic and charming type, Dante is the epitome of popularity. He effortlessly navigates through various social circles, known for his charm, confidence, and even leadership roles in student organizations. Every girl wants him, and every guy wants to emulate his charisma and charm. This means he's never really had to chase after women—instead, they chase after him. Once he senses they've fallen hard, he confidently makes his move, to which they eagerly accept. However, the reality is often different—his approach ends up being more of a game, leaving them played and disappointed. So, for him to genuinely have a crush on someone is a literal shocker.
Despite the numerous admirers vying for his attention, Dante's eyes remain solely fixed on you whenever you're in the same vicinity. Whether you're in the lecture hall or the campus cafe, his gaze is unwavering, intense, yet oddly inviting. Amidst the chatter and laughter of those around you, it's as if you're the only two people in the room. Sometimes, just to mess with you, Dante winks at you from afar, even if other people are around, causing you to blush. The man truly has no shame.
A true gentleman through and through, Dante embodies chivalry in its finest form. He'll hold doors open for you with a polite smile, offer to carry your books without a second thought, and always be attentive to your needs.
In Dante’s world, where he’s used to being the one pursued, his interest in you speaks volumes about the depth of his feelings.

As you organize your locker, a nagging sensation of being watched persists, causing you to glance over your shoulder multiple times, feeling a bit paranoid. Shaking off the unease, you focus on arranging your belongings until a subtle clearing of the throat catches your attention from the left. Startled, you realize that your open locker had been obstructing your view, concealing someone who had been waiting patiently behind it. With a quick closing of the locker door, you come face to face with the one and only—Dante!
"Oh, hey—" you begin, but before you can finish your sentence, a bouquet of roses is suddenly shoved in your face, catching you completely off guard.
The vibrant colors and sweet fragrance momentarily stun you, causing everything to click into place. Suddenly, it all makes sense—the feeling of being watched while organizing your locker, the eyes seemingly locked on you. As you gaze at the roses, it dawns on you that they must be the reason for the attention. Everything seems to fall into place, like pieces of a puzzle coming together, and you find yourself understanding why all eyes were on you earlier. You hesitantly take the roses.
"I hope you find the roses to your liking," he begins, his voice smooth as silk. "They pale in comparison to your beauty, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to express my admiration for you." He meets your gaze with unwavering sincerity, a faint smile playing on his lips. "If you'd allow me, I would be honored to accompany you to dinner this evening, where I can properly convey the depth of my feelings.” His tone had a hint of seductiveness to it.
Dante's confession leaves you utterly speechless, the bouquet of roses still in your hands as the weight of his words sinks in. In the midst of processing his unexpected declaration, you fail to notice the gathering crowd that has formed around you and Dante. He's put you on the spot, and all eyes are on the two of you. Although he was simply confessing his feelings to you, it felt like a life-or-death situation. You had no option, really—he wasn’t giving you one. You’re the first one he’s bothering to actually chase for, there’s no way he’s letting you go—so what other way than to corner you in a crowd of people? You’re the first one he’s bothering to actually chase for, there’s no way he’s letting you go—so what other way than to corner you in a crowd of people? Trust, it’s in your best interest to accept his feelings for you.
Either you reciprocate his feelings or you destroy your life by declining them.
This was so short y’all im sorry my brain is not braining
❥ Out of all the Zogratis siblings, Zenon is the best person you can be in a romantic relationship with. Of course, all the Zogratis siblings have their flaws—Zenon included—but he’s still the best person to be with.
❥ Zenon would prefer a partner who can keep up with him, whether it’s in terms of strength, intelligence, or ambition. He has duties to attend to and missions to complete, and he wants someone who he knows is perfectly capable of handling themselves when he’s not around.
❥ His immense loyalty to the Spade Kingdom would also extend to you, and like his loyalty towards the Spade Kingdom, his loyalty towards you is just as committed and devoted.
❥ Unfortunately, a common struggle throughout your relationship with Zenon would be his lack of ability to express emotions. You already have an insight into his love for you, but that’s pretty much all you have. This leaves you craving more emotional intimacy within the relationship.
❥ But nothing goes unnoticed by him. He will notice this, and he will try to do something about it. He’s already not the best at expressing his emotions in general, let alone with his siblings, but if emotional intimacy is something you really desire, he’ll try his best to accomplish that.
❥ He is not an affectionate man. Not in public, at least. It’s not because he’s embarrassed or annoyed; it’s because he simply doesn’t want to do anything lovey-dovey out in public. He’s basically a man who prefers a private relationship over a public one, not wanting too many people to know who his most beloved is.
❥ In private, however, he will relax around you and return a few gestures. For example, during cuddling time, he may slip an arm around your waist and rest his chin on top of your head. Always a big spoon, by the way. You will never catch him being the small spoon.
❥ This should go without saying, but he can and will fight for you, and he will get the job done quickly. Unlike his siblings, who tend to toy with their opponents, Zenon does not play around. Especially when it comes to your safety.
❥ This man will pull up on whoever made the poor decision to harm you the same way he pulled up on Yami. Zenon is more of a fight-now-protect-later type of guy. But don’t worry, because once he’s mercilessly defeated your attacker, he’ll carry your body the same way he carried Dante.
❥ Speaking of Dante, Zenon would not want you anywhere near him—in fact, he wouldn’t even want them to know about your existence. It’s not you; it’s his siblings. He knows they might be a nuisance if they find out about your relationship with Zenon.
❥ Quiet moments are common with Zenon. Like, really common. Zenon enjoys the tranquility of being alone in quiet atmospheres, but now that he has you, he can spend them with you. It’s moments like these that Zenon cherishes the most, staying drilled in his head forever.
NOTES: Don’t ask me how any of these psychos became guardian angels because I don’t know either. AU where they’re not so evil, I guess. Also, Lucius is not here because I got lazy lol.
ZENON ZOGRATIS
╰┈➤ ❝ Stay focused. Distractions lead to danger. ❞
First, I want to emphasize that Zenon takes his role as your guardian angel very seriously. He is dedicated, committed, and unwavering in his responsibilities. If, for any reason, you wish to contact him, you should be prepared for a significant challenge—reaching a Guardian Angel is no easy feat, especially one as elusive as Zenon. He has no desire to communicate with humans or anyone else. Simply go about your daily life and allow him to perform his duties as your guardian angel, and all will be well.
In the unlikely event that you manage to reach Zenon, be prepared for a less-than-welcoming reception—he won't greet you warmly or with any sugarcoated pleasantries. Your first instinct will likely be to thank him for his protection, but don’t expect a response; he’ll remain silent. Before you even have the chance to say anything further, he’ll interrupt with a firm reprimand for seeking him out. Although he's somewhat annoyed by your attempt to contact him, he doesn’t entirely blame you, understanding that humans are naturally curious. Nevertheless, he believes strongly that humans and angels should stick to their own responsibilities and not seek each other out. After this encounter, Zenon will make it virtually impossible for you to reach him again. Don’t worry, he will continue to serve as your Guardian Angel—just now, he’ll be even more elusive.
Obviously, as your guardian angel, Zenon protects you from a wide range of threats, from physical dangers to emotional and psychological challenges. Whenever you encounter moments of despair or doubt, you might experience a sudden surge of resilience—a silent encouragement urging you to persevere. Zenon is like that dedicated worker who, despite the exhaustion of a demanding 9-to-5 job, continues to give his all because of his unwavering commitment to his responsibilities. He tirelessly ensures your safety and well-being, and his dedication is unshakable. In short, you needn’t worry about much when it comes to him—what you should worry about are the challenges he gives you.
Zenon believes in teaching you through challenges, viewing them as essential opportunities for your growth. While he diligently protects you, there will be times when he doesn’t shield you from every difficulty. Instead, he ensures you have the strength and fortitude to overcome these obstacles. The challenges he sets before you are always within your capacity to handle. Once he sees you successfully overcoming a challenge, he’ll present you with a slightly tougher one—gradually fostering your independence without you even realizing it. This approach can sometimes be frustrating, but ultimately, it builds a deeper resilience within you, which is precisely his goal. Rest assured, Zenon won’t overwhelm you with a constant barrage of challenges. He gives you a challenge and then allows you ample time to rest and recharge. He’s firm, but not unreasonably so.
To conclude, Zenon would embody a shadowy yet unwavering presence in your life. His guardianship would be characterized by silent strength, steadfast protection, and a nuanced blend of distance. While he may never openly express his emotions, you will gradually come to understand that his presence, though often concealed, exerts a profound and enduring influence on your life. He cares for you deeply, albeit in his own subtle manner. With Zenon watching over you, you’re likely to lead a long and independent life, fortified by his silent guidance and support!

╰┈➤ ❝ Push yourself to the limit and then go beyond it! ❞
Vanica would exhibit a fiercely protective nature toward you, willing to go to extreme lengths to ensure your safety. Her guardianship would be characterized by a constant, fiery passion, always on high alert and ready to spring into action at the slightest hint of danger.

DANTE ZOGRATIS
╰┈➤ ❝ You are capable of greatness. Embrace it. ❞
Dante would undoubtedly embody a suave and charming demeanor in his role as your guardian angel. His approach would be characterized by an irresistible charisma and a knack for persuasion, utilizing his eloquence and charm to guide and safeguard you through the twists and turns of life. Picture him as a smooth-talking protector, effortlessly weaving words of comfort and encouragement to soothe whatever anxieties and uncertainties you carry. He has a unique ability to calm your fears with his calming words and confident demeanor. With Dante by your side, you can navigate life's challenges with grace and assurance, knowing that his suave charm and protective instincts will always be there to guide you through!
While we're delving into Dante's role as your guiding light, it's important to highlight his remarkable ability to boost your self-confidence. Dante firmly believes in your worth and potential, even if you can’t see them yourself, and he's committed to ensuring that you recognize and embrace these qualities within yourself. He absolutely refuses to let you succumb to feelings of inadequacy or insecurity, determined to empower you to stand out from the crowd. He also obviously believes that confidence is the key to unlocking one's full potential, a trait he believes is often lacking in today's world. And he's not about to let his cherished little human fall victim to the same lack of confidence that plagues so many others. No, that simply isn't his style. It’ll probably take you tons of discipline, patience, and dedication to reach the level of confidence Dante wants you to reach—but trust, the final results will have you and Dante very much pleased.
Now, what kinds of challenges would Dante present to you as your guardian angel? Given his focus on fostering your self-confidence, the challenges he offers would naturally revolve around building and reinforcing this crucial trait. He aims to instill in you a robust and enduring sense of confidence, ensuring you possess enough self-assurance to carry yourself with grace and inspire others. With that in mind, Dante's challenges would be designed to enhance your leadership abilities, maintain composure under pressure, and develop both your physical and mental resilience. For instance, imagine a scenario where you're suddenly thrust into leading a chaotic group project. Deadlines are looming, egos are clashing, and it falls upon you to steer the group toward success. Your challenge in this situation is to keep your cool, inspire teamwork, and guide everyone to the finish line without losing your sanity. Dante's aim here is to help you develop the grace and composure necessary to lead effectively under pressure. Or picture another challenge: you're thrown into the nerve-wracking world of public speaking, tasked with delivering a speech to a room full of intimidating and skeptical faces. Your challenge in this instance is to exude confidence, captivate the audience, and leave them hanging on your every word. Through such experiences, Dante seeks to push you out of your comfort zone, helping you develop the charisma and poise needed to command attention and respect.
If you desire to seek out Dante, he would find the notion quite intriguing. While he won't necessarily encourage you to pursue this endeavor, he also won't dissuade you. If you really want to try and find him, he's open to letting you give it a shot. However, like his siblings, he’ll make it a challenging task. The catch is that Dante's approach is a bit petty and playful. Imagine being tantalizingly close to reaching him, only to feel yourself pulled back just at the last moment. You’d probably find yourself on the brink of success numerous times, only to have Dante mischievously thwart your efforts. Picture him laughing at you as he watches you grow increasingly frustrated, your attempts coming so infuriatingly close but not quite hitting the mark. His teasing is a lot like Vanica's, deriving amusement from your earnest, almost desperate efforts to connect with him. Nevertheless, don't lose heart—after what feels like an eternity of near-misses, you eventually succeed in reaching him! Dante will be quite pleased to see that you persevered through the challenges he set before you. Once you finally connect with him, he will allow you to spend as much time as you want talking with him, but not indefinitely. It's not because he doesn’t enjoy your company or is tired of you, but rather because he wants you to continue living your normal human life and not get too caught up in celestial conversations. When your time with him concludes, you'll leave with a newfound wave of confidence—not only in yourself but also in your future and whatever challenges lie ahead. During your conversation, Dante likely imparted a powerful lecture on the far-reaching impact of confidence and how it can shape your destiny and the potential you have. This would leave you feeling immensely inspired, ready to face the world with a renewed sense of self-assurance and determination.
With Dante Zogratis as your guardian angel, your life would be profoundly enriched by his charismatic and supportive presence. His suave demeanor and eloquent guidance would soothe your anxieties and build your self-confidence, pushing you to realize your full potential. Through challenging scenarios designed to develop your resilience, leadership, and composure, Dante would ensure you grow stronger and more capable. His teasing yet demanding nature would keep you striving for excellence, teaching you perseverance and determination. His unwavering belief in your worth and potential would inspire you to face life's challenges with grace and assurance, knowing his protective instincts and charismatic support are always there to guide you.
I LITERALLY LOVE YOUR WRITING!! YOU'RE ONE OF THE FEW THAT WRITES FOR ALL OF MY FAVOURITE BC CHARACTERS 🙏🙏 Could I get a SFW Alphabet for either Damnatio, Zenon or Conrad?
WARNING: GENDER NOT SPECIFIED + NOT PROOFREAD
NOTES: Zenon because I’m down bad for anyone who shares Zogratis blood and there’s no way I’m passing up an opportunity to write for him 😩 ALSO IM SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG ANON…I HAVE NO EXCUSES THIS TIME.
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
He might not be the most affectionate partner, and you might not see many public displays of affection from him. It's not that he doesn't love you—he absolutely does—but he's just not the type to express his feelings through physical touch. He values privacy in your relationship and prefers to keep your bond away from the public eye. He shows his love in other, more subtle ways—acts of service are his primary love language; he goes out of his way to take care of things for you, whether it's running errands or simply making sure your needs are met before you even have to ask. These gestures may seem small, but they are his way of saying, "I care about you deeply."
Quality time is also equally important to him. He cherishes the moments you spend together, even if it's just sitting in comfortable silence or sharing a meal. These moments, though quiet and understated, are where his affection truly shines through. Moreover, Zenon tries to make up for his lack of outward affection by keeping you close to him. He values your presence immensely and makes a conscious effort to have you by his side as much as possible. Whether he's on a mission, attending to his duties, or finally finding a moment to relax, he ensures that you are there with him.
Another one of the most significant ways Zenon shows his love is by protecting you from his siblings. He knows how intense and chaotic they can be. Their intense and overwhelming nature can be a lot to handle, and Zenon completely understands if you find them to be too much at times. He frequently steps in to shield you from their antics, providing a buffer so you can find some peace amidst the chaos.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
Allen 2.0???
The only realistic way to forge a friendship with someone as stoic and intense as Zenon is by working for him, which means becoming one of his Dark Disciples. This is the sole path to becoming his friend, let alone his best friend. However, it’s not just about the position you hold; it’s also about the qualities you share with him. To earn Zenon's friendship, you need to demonstrate a level of determination and strength that mirrors his own. Zenon isn’t particularly picky, but if he were to choose a best friend, he’d want someone who is as resolved and strong as he is. He has no interest in a friend he constantly needs to babysit or watch over. He wants someone on his level, someone who can stand beside him as an equal. Your chances of becoming his best friend increase significantly if you share the same mindset and approach to life as he does.
As a best friend, Zenon's support would manifest more through actions than words. While he insists on having a best friend who can stand on their own and doesn't need constant supervision, he would still be a bit protective of you—just a bit. If you're strong and find yourself in a tough fight but make a minor mistake, such as miscalculating your opponent's next move, Zenon will step in without hesitation to cover for you. Additionally, Zenon would be brutally honest. He would never sugarcoat his opinions or offer false praise. His feedback can often come across as harsh, but it stems from a place of wanting to see you improve and reach your full potential. He believes in pushing you to be your best self, even if it means being critical at times. His honesty is unwavering, and while it might be tough to hear, you know that he always has your best interests at heart.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
I know I said he isn’t the most affectionate man, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to deny you cuddling him if you so desire it—as long as it remains behind closed doors. He understands that physical closeness can be important and is willing to accommodate your needs. If you want to cuddle with him when you're alone, he will absolutely let you do so. And while he might rarely ever initiate physical affection first, he does appreciate the intimacy and warmth that come from these moments. It’s in these private, quiet times that Zenon allows himself to be at ease. So, even though he’s not naturally affectionate, he’s willing to meet you halfway and share in these tender moments.
How would Zenon cuddle? Well, that's entirely up to you. He doesn't have a strong preference for how cuddling happens. To him, cuddles are cuddles, and the specifics don't really matter as long as you're both comfortable. Whether you want to rest your head on his chest, wrap your arms around him, or simply lie side by side, he’s fine with it all. Zenon is adaptable and willing to go along with whatever makes you happy. As long as the cuddling remains behind closed doors, he’s perfectly fine with any position or style you prefer. In these private moments, he’s more focused on the connection and intimacy than the mechanics.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Settle down? No, absolutely not. There's really not much to explain here; it's flat-out obvious that Zenon is a child-free man. Just look at him. He and his siblings have grand plans—plans far too important to be put on hold for the sake of raising a child. The responsibilities and ambitions they have leave no room for the demands of parenthood. Even if Zenon were to accomplish all his goals, the idea of settling down still seems unlikely. His focus and dedication to his mission are so ingrained in his identity that the thought of shifting gears to a quieter, domestic life just doesn’t fit. The drive and determination that fuel him are not easily turned off, and the notion of stepping away from his life's work to "baby a baby" seems out of character for him. In summary, the concept of settling down and starting a family is simply not on Zenon's radar. His priorities lie elsewhere, and his lifestyle and ambitions don't align with the traditional path of marriage and children.
He’s okay at cooking. Just okay.
Zenon is adept at cleaning. Even before the Dark entered the picture, he had a habit of tidying up after himself. He also doesn't waste time and approaches cleaning with the same focused determination he applies to everything else. 🧹🧽
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
If Zenon ever found himself needing to end the relationship, he would approach it with swift and direct honesty, cutting straight to the point without much preamble. His communication style in such situations would be brief and matter-of-fact, devoid of emotional flourishes or unnecessary explanations. If you cry or experience emotional distress, Zenon will still maintain his stoic demeanor. He wouldn't attempt to comfort you or offer reassurances. Instead, he expects a level of maturity and resilience, believing that individuals should handle their emotions independently—including you.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Zenon takes commitment seriously. If you've managed to become his lover, then that surely means you've broken through his stone-cold exterior, earning a place in his heart and his respect. Breaking through Zenon's walls is no easy feat. As his partner, you gained a level of respect that surpasses what he holds for his own siblings. Despite being bound by blood, Zenon isn't emotionally connected to his siblings in the same way he is with you. His relationship with them is more about shared goals and obligations, whereas with you, there's a deeper, more personal connection. Given this profound connection, Zenon takes his commitment to the relationship extremely seriously. If you ever find yourself doubting his loyalty or suspecting him of infidelity, you're mistaken—very mistaken. Zenon would never cheat on you. His dedication is unwavering, and the mere notion of betraying your trust is unfathomable to him. If such suspicions arise, you should be ready to apologize for even entertaining the idea.
Zenon feels indifferent about marriage, perhaps even a bit reluctant and hesitant. Throughout the relationship, marriage is the last thing on his mind, and he doesn't place as much importance on it as some couples might. To him, the bond and commitment you share are what truly matter, and he doesn't see the need for a formal ceremony to validate it. Marriage only becomes a topic of consideration when you bring it up. When you do, Zenon might be a bit taken aback. It's not that he opposes the idea outright, but it's something that doesn't naturally align with his priorities or view of your relationship. He struggles to understand why you feel the need to formalize your bond when, in his eyes, you are already committed to each other. He’s already yours, and he believes that the commitment you share is as strong as it can be without needing a legal or societal stamp of approval. However, if you persistently express your desire to get married and it genuinely means a lot to you, Zenon might consider it. He respects your feelings and wants to make you happy, but it would take considerable persuasion for him to fully embrace the idea.
And if your desire for marriage is strong enough and you somehow get him to marry you, then just know that it would be more out of his love and respect for you than his own inclination towards the institution of marriage.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Gentle? Listen, he’s trying. Gentleness is not something he’s too familiar with.
Physically, Zenon's gentleness is decent but leans toward the firmer side. To put it simply, he’s usually firm but with a soft touch—if that makes sense. For instance, when you’re holding hands, he ensures to keep a firm grip on your hand, but not to the extent that it hurts or feels suffocating. His touch is confident and steady, conveying his presence and strength without causing discomfort. It's up to you whether this level of firmness is something you believe he needs to work on or not. Zenon is naturally firm about everything, including his physical interactions, but with you, he consciously tries to balance it so you don't feel overwhelmed. If you appreciate a firmer touch, then this aspect of his demeanor should be perfectly fine for you. However, if you prefer a gentler approach, then you might need to guide him a bit. Gentleness is not something Zenon grew up familiar with, and it’s a concept he may struggle to fully grasp. It’s a word that might not even be in his active vocabulary. Teaching him to be more gentle will require patience and clear communication from you, and helping Zenon understand your needs and preferences is essential to fostering a more gentle touch. Show him how you’d like to be held, explain what feels comfortable and what doesn’t, and gradually he will learn. While it might take some time and effort, with your guidance, Zenon can learn to balance his firm nature with the gentleness you desire.
Emotionally, Zenon has a lot more work to do compared to his physical gentleness. Even if you're not particularly emotional or don't place a lot of importance on it, it's evident that Zenon needs significant improvement in this area. Gentleness, especially when it comes to emotions, is something he’s still unfamiliar with. As mentioned earlier in the best friend part, Zenon is straightforward and never sugarcoats his opinions, often coming off as harsh. Unfortunately, this tendency doesn’t change even while in a relationship with him. His blunt honesty and lack of emotional sensitivity can definitely be challenging to navigate. Zenon's emotional approach is rooted in his upbringing and the environment he's accustomed to, where emotional gentleness was neither valued nor practiced. This makes it difficult for him to naturally adopt a softer, more considerate demeanor when dealing with feelings. However, acknowledging this is the first step towards improvement. Patience and open communication are key if you want to help Zenon develop a more emotionally gentle side. Express your feelings and let him know how his bluntness affects you. Provide specific examples of when his words have been hurtful or lacking in sensitivity. It’s important to recognize that this will be a gradual process. Zenon’s commitment to you means he will try to adapt and grow, but it will take time and consistent effort.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
Like cuddles, he doesn’t mind hugs as long as they’re in private. Again, he’s a private guy and prefers it if you keep it professional with him in public.
Even if you’re not the most physically affectionate, it’s often you hugging him rather than he himself initiating hugs.
But on the very rare occasion that he does hug you, it’s usually like I said earlier in the gentle part, he’s firm but not to the point of even slightly hurting you—just firm.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
It's very likely that you say "I love you" way before Zenon does. Even if you're not typically someone who says those three words first, chances are you'll end up being the one to initiate it. Imagine being together for years without either of you having said it yet—and when you do finally muster the courage to utter those words, don't expect immediate reciprocation from Zenon. When you tell Zenon, "I love you," his response might be something indirect like "I as well," or he might simply nod his head. Believe me, he absolutely loves you—he's just very hesitant and reluctant to say those three words back. It's not something he feels comfortable saying, as it's a level of vulnerability he's not used to expressing. Zenon will find ways to convey his feelings without actually saying the words for a while. He might use his actions to show his love or offer subtle verbal affirmations that skirt around the direct expression of "I love you." This could go on for months, possibly even close to a year, until he finally says it. When Zenon does finally say, "I love you," it's a moment worth waiting for. He won't be shy, but he'll likely say it quietly and perhaps glance away. He's just not accustomed to saying such intimate words, and it's probably the first time he's ever uttered them to anyone. Saying it to you feels incredibly intimate for him, but in a positive way. It takes him a long time to get there, but when he does, it’s a powerful testament to his feelings for you.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
It's hard to describe Zenon's jealousy in words, but I can give you an idea with percentages. When he gets jealous, it ranges from about 5% to 40%, depending on the situation. He knows without a doubt that you’re his, and he’s yours, but it still genuinely irks him to feel even a hint of jealousy. For example, if someone is hitting on you—whether it’s a man or a woman—he’ll appear out of nowhere, much like when he suddenly appeared beside Yami after Dante was defeated. In those moments, he’s visibly bothered, irked, and annoyed. Despite his confidence in your loyalty, the idea of someone attempting to flirt with you still grates on him. Zenon’s jealousy doesn’t stem from insecurity about your commitment to him; he knows you would never entertain the thought of cheating—rather, it’s the audacity of others thinking they can encroach on what he holds dear that irritates him. He takes your relationship seriously, and any perceived threat, no matter how insignificant, is enough to rouse his protective instincts. So, while he may not always express it openly, his jealousy is a clear sign of how much he values and cherishes you. His reaction, though firm and sometimes intense, is rooted in his deep-seated desire to keep you safe and ensure that others respect the bond you share.
As mentioned earlier, Zenon literally appears out of nowhere when someone is making a flirtatious attempt at you. No one even notices how he suddenly got there or where he came from. The person hitting on you is definitely in for a shock when they suddenly find Zenon’s face inches from theirs, sporting a deadpan and intensely displeased expression. Just his expression alone is enough to make the flirter immediately get the hint and back off. Zenon's presence and demeanor are so intimidating that he doesn't need to say a word to scare them away. His silent but powerful message is clear: You're off-limits. After dealing with the intruder, Zenon turns to you and calmly advises you to be more careful next time. This isn’t a warning directed at you but rather a suggestion to be aware of anyone trying to hit on you. His concern is for your comfort and safety, not a reflection of any annoyance toward you. Rest assured, Zenon’s irritation is never directed at you, no matter how many times such incidents occur. His frustration is solely aimed at the person flirting with you, making it very clear that his annoyance lies with those who fail to respect your relationship, never with you.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Like I said earlier, Zenon’s demeanor is firm but balanced, with a subtle hint of gentleness. This extends to his kisses as well. When he kisses you, it’s typically with a firm grip, with one hand holding the side of your face while his lips press against yours. His kiss is assertive yet not overwhelming, striking a balance that leaves you breathless but never suffocating.
When he kisses you, he usually aims for your lips, like most lovers do. Nothing too different or crazy here. His favorite spots to kiss are just your lips.
As for where he likes to be kissed, he doesn’t have a preferred spot. He doesn’t mind any type of kiss you give him, no matter where they are. He’s a simple guy who just likes any type of kiss you give him. And again, as long as PDA remains behind closed doors, he’s perfectly fine.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
To put it simply, he's awkward and doesn’t care for them. Even in the presence of the most polite or adorable child, Zenon remains indifferent. He finds children a little bit annoying and doesn't have much patience for their antics or needs. When he's around kids, Zenon maintains the same demeanor—serious and stoic. He doesn't soften his expression or adjust his behavior to accommodate their presence. You’ll never catch Zenon being even the slightest bit soft around kids. He doesn't engage in playful banter, doesn't smile more often, and certainly doesn't exhibit any nurturing tendencies. His interactions are minimal and purely functional, often limited to acknowledging their existence without any genuine interest. He just doesn't see the appeal and prefers to keep his distance. There's not much more to say—he just doesn’t like children and makes no effort to hide it.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
No matter how early you rise, you'll rarely wake up with Zenon by your side. It's an extremely rare occurrence to find him next to you in the morning, and it only happens when he has absolutely nothing important on his agenda. Zenon is the type of man who wakes up at the crack of dawn to get things done. He doesn't like to waste time and prefers to tackle his duties quickly and efficiently. This is why, by the time you wake up, Zenon is already up and gone, immersed in his responsibilities. On the rare occasions when you do wake up with Zenon still beside you, it’s a special treat. However, his dedication to his responsibilities means these mornings are unfortunately few and far between.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
Zenon sleeps with a quietness that sometimes triggers your paranoia. There are moments when you find yourself shaking him awake just to reassure yourself that he’s still alive. It’s not uncommon for his peaceful slumber to make you wonder if something’s amiss, but don't worry; he’s simply a very quiet sleeper. However, despite this worryingly serene sleeping habit, Zenon possesses a remarkable ability to wake up at the slightest disturbance. It’s as if his ears are finely tuned even while he sleeps, instantly alerting him to the faintest of sounds. This unique combination can be surprising, considering how deeply he seems to rest. If you wake up in the middle of the night needing water or a bathroom break, attempting to move quietly won’t do much good. Zenon’s sensitivity to noise means that even the subtlest movement or sound is enough to rouse him. He awakens almost instantly, demonstrating his keen awareness even in sleep. This heightened awareness contrasts with his otherwise tranquil sleeping demeanor, providing a curious dichotomy. While his quiet sleep can lead to moments of concern for you, his responsiveness to your movements ensures that he’s always attuned to your needs, even in the dead of night.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Patience is key when it comes to getting to know Zenon on a deeper level. He is notoriously slow at opening up and revealing things about himself. It's not that he's unwilling or uninterested in sharing, but rather that he's cautious and reserved by nature.
You shouldn’t expect Zenon to start revealing personal details until at least a year into your relationship. He's not accustomed to divulging personal information to just anyone, and it takes time for him to build that level of trust and comfort with someone—even with you, his very own lover.
When he does begin to share, it's not all at once. Zenon reveals bits and pieces of himself gradually, which can be frustratingly slow if you're impatient. However, if you're patient and understanding, you'll find that he's worth the wait.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
When it comes to you, Zenon is very slow to anger. Despite his cold and reserved nature, he shows remarkable patience with you. Even though his demeanor might suggest otherwise, that doesn't mean that he easily loses his temper with you. Sure, there may be times when he might firmly scold you for a mistake, especially if it’s something that could have put you in serious danger during a fight. His firm tone is more about concern for your well-being than actual anger. The closest you’ll ever see Zenon to genuine anger with you is this firm, corrective demeanor—or just firm. However, there is one situation that could genuinely provoke his anger: betrayal. If you were to cheat on him or seriously breach his trust, it would undoubtedly stir deep emotions. In such a scenario, his usual calm and composed nature would give way to genuine anger and hurt. This kind of betrayal would cut deep, given how much trust and effort he puts into the relationship. But I think you're smart enough to not betray him—hopefully.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
Zenon has a decent memory when it comes to you, focusing more on the small, meaningful details that are directly about you. He might not bother to remember every minor detail about your past, like the name of your childhood best friend, the academy you attended, or the exact number of pets you had growing up. Those things don't seem particularly significant to him. However, when it comes to the small, personal preferences and quirks that define you, Zenon pays close attention—such as remembering your favorite color and whether you prefer the heat or the cold. His selective memory highlights his focus on what truly matters to you. While he may not recall every single fact about your past, he makes an effort to remember the things that bring you joy or comfort.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
When it's just the two of you—alone. Although he may not openly show it, the immense pressure of his goals and the weight of his responsibilities seriously stress him out. His siblings, who often treat their mission with a casual, almost playful attitude, add to his frustration and make him feel isolated in his seriousness. In these moments of solitude, you become his sanctuary. Your presence alone, whether you're sitting quietly across the room or cuddling close to him, provides him with a profound sense of relief. It doesn't matter what you're doing; the simple fact that it's just you and him with no interruptions is like a breath of fresh air for him. Being alone with you gives Zenon a chance to relax and recharge in a way he can't manage when surrounded by others.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
How protective is Zenon? Well, he strikes a balance in his protectiveness toward you. If you’re his lover, he trusts that you can handle yourself without needing constant assistance or intervention. He respects your strength and independence, believing that you’re capable enough to manage most situations on your own. However, if you’re more on the weaker side, Zenon’s protectiveness does increase, but it’s never to the point of being overbearing or excessive. He’s mindful not to smother you or make you feel incapable. Instead, he takes a more practical approach, ensuring you’re prepared to defend yourself when he’s not around. To this end, Zenon dedicates time to training you, teaching you how to fight and protect yourself. He wants you to be self-sufficient and confident in your abilities. So, while Zenon isn’t overly protective, he’s attentive and supportive, ensuring you’re equipped to handle challenges independently.
When it comes to protecting you, Zenon often acts when you least expect it. For instance, imagine you’re about to trip over a rock you didn’t see, and before you even realize you’re falling, Zenon uses his bone magic to catch you before you even hit the ground. It’s a subtle but effective way of showing his care and attentiveness. In more dangerous situations, his protective instincts become even more pronounced. If an enemy is about to strike you in a blind spot, Zenon’s bone magic springs into action. He can catch the attacker’s wrist mid-air, yanking them harshly toward him. With a deadly glare, he ensures the assailant understands the gravity of their mistake before he utterly demolishes them. Zenon’s protection is both subtle and fierce, ensuring your safety in everyday mishaps and life-threatening battles alike.
Please, the last thing Zenon needs is protection. His strength and combat prowess are unmatched, making him more than capable of handling any threat that comes his way. However, if you still try to protect him nonetheless, he wouldn’t mind at all. In fact, Zenon would appreciate your efforts. He’d give you a small nod, a subtle gesture acknowledging your attempt to protect him. <3
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
He’d put a decent amount of effort into dates, anniversaries, and gifts combined. I'm not so sure about everyday tasks, though.
He understands that dates, anniversaries, and gifts are all important events, especially anniversaries. That being said, don’t worry, he does absolutely put effort into those things—he puts even more effort into anniversaries, like above and beyond type effort.
As for everyday tasks, he could definitely work on them. Zenon doesn’t think everyday tasks are too special; they are called everyday tasks for a reason—because you do them every day. Unlike dates, anniversaries, and gifts, Zenon deems everyday tasks less important.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
Gosh, where do I start…
His stoicism, sternness, mercilessness, and a lot more. If you share his mindset and values, these traits might not pose a problem for you. However, if you have a more compassionate and empathetic heart, these habits can be difficult to accept and reconcile with. Zenon's stoicism often means he keeps his emotions tightly controlled and rarely expresses his feelings openly. His sternness can make him seem unapproachable and inflexible, while his mercilessness in battle and towards his enemies reveals a harsh and unforgiving side. These traits are deeply ingrained in Zenon—they have been shaped by his upbringing and the harsh realities he has faced throughout his life. He has always been this way, and it's unlikely that he will change these aspects of himself anytime soon, if ever. While he loves you, these habits and traits are part of who he is. They define his approach to life and the way he interacts with the world.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
He could care less about how he looks; there are more important things to be concerned about than his looks.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
Yes, Zenon would absolutely feel incomplete without you. At first, he might be in denial, refusing to admit the void your absence creates in his life. He may even spend his entire life in this state of denial, unwilling to face the depth of his emotions. But deep down, he truly does feel incomplete without you. Losing you would remind him of the days when his friend Allen died, a period filled with sorrow. Although Zenon managed to move on from Allen’s death to some extent, he genuinely doesn't believe he could recover from your absence. Allen was a cherished friend, but you are his lover, a bond that took immense patience and effort to form. Becoming Zenon’s lover is no easy feat; it requires patience and perseverance to break through his cold exterior and earn his trust. Winning his heart is a monumental task, and he realizes just how much you’ve endured to be with him. Despite his stoic and ruthless nature, even Zenon’s heart can't bear the thought of losing your presence and love. He might not openly acknowledge these feelings, stubbornly clinging to his denial. Yet, the reality remains that without you, Zenon would feel a profound emptiness, an irreplaceable void that echoes the loss of something deeply significant in his life. Your love and presence have woven themselves into the very fabric of his being, making your absence an unbearable reality he struggles to confront. :(
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
Zenon really likes poetry and classical music.
Despite his stoic exterior and single-minded focus on his missions, Zenon has a surprising appreciation for the arts, particularly classical music. In the rare moments when he has time to himself, he listens to orchestral compositions to find a sense of peace and clarity—a way to just forget about all his and his siblings grand plans for a moment.
Poetry is also another example of his appreciation for the arts. What kind of poetry, you may wonder? Well, any type! No matter what type of topic it focuses on, Zenon has a deep appreciation for every single one of them. Overall, poetry plus classical music in his alone time is like his sanctuary, second to you, of course.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
What Zenon wouldn’t like in a partner is any form of weakness, particularly physical vulnerability. While he values strength and resilience across all aspects—physical, emotional, and mental—he places a significant emphasis on physical capability. For Zenon, having a partner who is physically weak can be challenging, as he prefers someone who can handle themselves independently. While he may be willing to train and support a partner to improve their physical strength, a persistent need for protection due to physical frailty would likely frustrate him.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)
As I mentioned in the night part, Zenon sleeps in absolute silence, making no sound whatsoever. It's as if he enters a state of perfect stillness and quietness, which can be unnerving at times. However, despite his deep sleep, he's incredibly alert to the smallest of sounds. It's almost uncanny how quickly he can awaken from even the faintest noise, instantly snapping from sleep to full alertness.
