(SUGGESTIVE. Also, established relationship and reader is implied to be part of the Knights)
For a better reference of what Lohen's wearing here, click here (post) or here (trailer where it appears).
You swear you didn't mean to look so hard.
When you swung open the front door to Lohen’s house and called out the vice captain’s name, you expected to see him in his normal knightly uniform (well, as normal as Lohen can be)— because what else would he be wearing on a day as important as orientation day for the new knight recruits?
However, instead of being greeted back with blues and whites, a verbal hello or even a knife to your face, the first thing your eyes land on is Lohen’s bare open chest.
“!? LOHEN?? ”
Your voice booms throughout the whole house, causing Lohen to raise a confused brow before setting aside his newly brewed cup of coffee to face you over the kitchen counter.
“Oh? You're finally here.” Lohen hums in a singsong tone, ignoring your currently confused state. He folds his arms over the counter and slightly bending over surface, exposing even more of his already exposed chest to your frightened eyes. “What a shame that I can't accompany you to the training grounds today. My presence is required elsewhere to keep the new recruits on their toes. Grandmaster’s orders and all.”
Lohen's words go in one ear before going out the other ear. Every ounce of your dying attention trails down from his open chest to the black vest hugging his figure tightly like hands pressing into skin, tightly shaping his lithe, agile body that had grown some muscle from that long five year expedition he went on. The long, dark belt wrapped around his small waist nearly made you gasp like a scandalised maiden. Is it normal for someone to be jealous of a belt? Is it also normal to want to replace said belt with your own hands around his waist? Please? Pretty please?
“I can hear you, you know?”
The smirk on Lohen's face widens as your jaw drops onto the floor. While you scramble to find the words to excuse your leering gaze pointed towards at your own vice captain, Lohen lifts himself off the counter and waltzes in your direction, keeping his eyes on you to pin you in your spot (as if you can go anywhere when your jaw is still on the floor).
Oh my archons he's coming here. He's swaying his hips while coming over here. Surely it's illegal for a man to look so dangerous and seductive at the same time right? Right??
Slowly, gradually, he makes his way to you and lifts your chin up with one hand. His long fingers, no longer restrained by his old gloves, carefully trace your jawline with reverence, leaving a path of lingering warmth of your flushed face that looks ready to explode at any moment. How delicate they look— these fingers that have ended countless lives are now cradling your face like a priceless jewel, taking care of you with hands that have held more weapons more preciously than any precious gemstone.
“Look at you. Even without being able to read your thoughts, I can still hear you as clear as day~”
Lohen leans in closer and brushes his mouth against your earlobe. His lips are dry, the consequences of always being exposed to the cold air out in the wild without taking proper care of them— yet that doesn’t stop him from blowing hot air into your ear. He laughs when you jump in surprise and uses his other hand to pin you in place, roughly squeezing your shoulder to keep you from running away.
“Tell me. What part of my body excites you the most? Is it my chest? My waist? My hands?” He muses. “If you tell me, I might let you have a taste of me before we leave. How does that sound?”
You choke, too taken aback to say a word. Why did he have to make it sound so dirty when nothing was going to happen!?
“Vice cap—”
You barely manage to get his title out before Lohen's lips are on you, silencing every sentence that you had fought to piece together.
Turns out, the air in his lungs aren’t the only thing hot inside of his body. His tongue (the same one you've seen used to snap back at your shared comrades with cold remarks) finds an opening past your lips and leaves a blazing path in its wake, claiming your mouth with the same dominance he shows on the battlefield. With a tilt of his head, he pushes himself deeper inside you, keeping you on your toes as he fights his way into your self conciousness, forcefully filling your thoughts with him and only him with his kisses.
“Tch, not enough…”
Lohen pulls away and clicks his tongue for a brief moment before sealing his lips on top of yours again. This time, he pushes your body to the closest wall and crushes you between it and his body, letting you feel the thin belts dangling loosely around his thighs and his thigh strap all digging into your flesh at once. The rough manuever causes strands of his teal blue hair to fall out of his hair, brushing against your face like a paintbrush drawing on a blank canvas.
A sane person might call this feeling overwhelming but none of you can truly be called sane right now. Not when one of you is currently battling with the forces of gravity to pull you inside of him, while the other of you is letting him do it.
He doesn't give you time to breathe, doesn't want to. His hands grip your hands with the force of a bow with its string pulled, pressing you against the wall until you are squeezed to his body as tightly as possible like the belt you were oh so jealous of. He doesn't even try to pull away with his head starts to feel dizzy from the lack of air. The exhilaration and excitement pushes him to take more, take everything that belongs to you and keep it for himself.
It doesn't come as a surprise to anyone when you showed up to the orientation late with a few bright hickies blooming on your neck.
【Bonus】
“So, why are you dressed like that!?”
You finally manage to ask the one question you have been dying to know.
While you frantically try to find your lost clothing scattered all across his floor, Lohen leisurely buttons up the few buttons on his shirt while humming.
“Like I said, grandmaster's orders. Instead of greeting the new recruits like everyone else, I've been tasked with testing the new recruits. To ensure that they don't pose a threat to the knights nor Mondstadt. ”
“... Did he also ask you to dress in your old adventurer’s clothes, or was that a decision you made on your own?”
“Hm, who knows~ But if I had earlier known that you liked this outfit so much, I would've worn them in front of you much sooner.”

PINEEEEEE!! The Illuga & Lohen brainworms got to me, I need them both NOWW. Well, mainly just Lohen *laughing in C6 Illuga* 😈😈 Anyways, here’s a short Lohen/Reader/Illuga blurb I wrote last night! Reader is a lightkeeper in Illuga’s squad for this. The reason why Lohen’s here is because the 5th company & Nightmare Orioles are working together for plot purposes lmao.
(This was originally written as Lohen/My OC/Illuga where Lohen & OC were childhood friends, while OC is Illuga’s vice-captain (do lightkeeper squads even have vice-captains???? Well they do now LOLOL). Feel free to apply these onto the reader or completely disregard them! The only purpose they serve here is to give the captains a reason to be interested in the reader ^^; May write more ab being Illuga's vice-captain in the future tho 👀)
Reader: I’m gonna turn in early, my head kinda hurts. *holds hands out towards Illuga expectantly.*
Lohen: ??
Illuga: *Takes off his coat & hands it over to Reader.* Sleep well, my light. If you need anything, just let me know!
Reader: Will do, captain. Goodnight everyone! *Turns to leave for their barrack/tent.*
Lohen: (Seething with jealousy) Hey so what’s that about?
Illuga: (Clocks his jealousy immediately) Reader always complains about how cold it is in Nod Krai, especially at night. I lend them my coat every night to use as an extra layer of warmth. ^^✨
Lohen: Is that so? ^^💢
——The Next Day——
Illuga: It’s getting late, we should get some rest. *Gives his coat to Reader again.*
Reader: *Accepts it as per usual.* We have another long day ahead of us tomorrow, goodnight everyone!
Lohen: Here, take this as well! :D *Gives Reader his cape.*
Reader: (Extremely confused, but isn’t going to turn down another layer to sleep under.) I- thank you, vice-captain-
Lohen: No need for formalities, my lady. You can just call me Lohen.
Reader: Thank you, Lohen…! *Obviously flustered as they leave.*
Illuga: Is there a reason you felt the need to do that? ^^💢
Lohen: I’m just making sure they can sleep warm & comfortably, you wouldn’t want your beloved light to catch a cold during the night, would you? ^^✨
—BONUS—
Reader: Good morning Illuga! *Hands him back his coat while wearing Lohen’s cape over their coat.*
Illuga: (Nearly bursting a blood vessel out of jealousy) Nono, you keep it for today. I heard it’s going to be colder than usual today, my coat’s warmer and better than Lohen’s cape than yours so you should wear it for today!
Reader: But what about you???
Illuga: I have a few spare coats laying around, now please put the coat on, my light. AND TAKE OFF LOHEN’S CAPE
Oh to have the captains fighting over you ✨✨ And yes, reader wore Lohen’s cape to sleep LMAOOOOOO
P.S. Thank you so much Pine & anons for feeding me with all your amazing Illuga & Lohen fics!! They were lowkey the only things keeping me from going insane during finals week a while ago 😅 Y’all were also the reason why I decided to get back into writing again (and how we got this LMAO) 🥹 AHHHHHH I have more stuff I wanna write for Lohen, but I want to wait for his official release so I can write him as accurately as possible (and so I don’t write anything that contradicts his backstory lmfao). His banner can't come any slower istg 😭😭 Well, at least our favorite captain is still on the table 😏
I absolutely adore this setting as well as how the tables flip in the end 😭😭😭 Poor Illuga, Lohen never fights fair even when it comes to love,,,, So what if you're Illuga's vice-captain? Ranks can change alllllll the time, but nothing can ever change the fact that you are Lohen's childhood friend. He is the one who grew up with you, played with you, and thus knows more about you than anyone else in the whole of Teyvat— as seen by how you chose to sleep in his coat instead of Illuga's coat 🙂↕️🙂↕️ (he's being delusional don't encourage). He's confident that you'll choose him in the end.
On the other hand, Illuga's not backing down without a fight too!!! Even though he feels a little guilty lying to you about having spare coats lying around (he only has one because he's sentimentally attached to it), he absolutely does not want you to wear Lohen's coat around, especially in front of other Lightkeepers. So what if Lohen's your childhood friend!! That's all in the past— what matters most is the present and the future. So, even though Illuga knows he's at a slight disadvantage, he'll definitely continue to pursue with full sincerity because he genuinely loves you, heart and soul.
‼️ and and, thank you OP for sending me this wonderful idea of yours 🥺🥺 I enjoyed every second of reading it and can't wait to see what else you'll write for the dearest vice captain after his official release!! Congrats on completing your Finals week and getting C6 illuga, may the gacha gods be merciful and give you Lohen (and his weapon if you're pulling it) ASAP 🙏🙏 NINE MORE DAYS EVERYONE!! NINE MORE DAYS !!!!!!!
PINE! I'm hoping to give you a really big shock with this one!
*drumroll*
*stares*
🌙 is no longer a faceless anon ehehe! Since I'd decided to cast away the shackles of my self imposed hiding (read: hop off main and make a side account) I guess I'll do a proper intro? Teehee heehee?
Umm.. so you and the other anons can call me Lune now! I think it's fun to come to you and talk about our captain and vice captain and I wanna share more fun with you Pine! I DESIRE TO SPEAK MY MIND FREELY!
So *scratches head* really the blog is for more in depth stuff but I want to continue brainstorming like we all do here. Idk how to work this thing so it miiight take a bit before I post something myself idk
And if I'm back as 🌙 in an ask it's just cause I was a lazy and posted from main ahah
‼️‼️‼️‼️ OH MY GOD HI LUNEEEEEE!!! IT'S SO NICE TO FINALLY MEET YOUUUUU 🥺🥺🥺💕💕💕💕💕
I'm so happy to hear that you enjoy coming here and talking to us about the captain and vice captain,,,, 😭😭 Also, whether as 🌙 anon or Lune, you are always welcomed to speak your mind freely in my ask box!! Every single one of your ideas and thoughts that you've sent in so far have been such a delight to read, so please feel free to keep coming back here whenever you feel like it!! 🥹🥹 You're always welcomed here with open arms 💪💪
imagine illuga always putting his jacket on you and you never really know why. every time you do even the slightest shiver BOOM his coat's on you. even at home if you shiver the next second one of his soft sweaters is being slipped over your head to keep you warm. he's practically always ready with something to cover you with if you're cold, which is confusing but also so sweet and caring of him that you don't really mind
meanwhile illuga feels so happy with himself because it doesn't seem like you suspect a thing. it does things to him to see you in any of his clothes ever. if you're cold, then he might as well make you warm again while enjoying the view, right? additionally, whenever he takes off his own winter coat, his body is on display and he finds that he really enjoys the way your eyes track him when he does
🥺🥺 omg,,,, this is such a cute idea,,,,, the fact he's Locked In(tm) to throw his coat/sweater on you at any moment shows how attentive he is towards you,,,, always caring for your wellbeing even when you think he isn't noticing you,,,, CAPTAINNNNN 😭😭😭
In my head, he definitely has a slightttt posessive streak— so, seeing you in his clothes soothes the jealous beast inside of him that envies anyone who isn't him getting too close to you 👁👁 Surely anyone in Nod Krai can recognise his custom made uniform that stands out even amongst the Lightkeepers, so no one would dare try to approach you while you're standing next to him and wearing his coat right? Right? 👁👁
!! Also, hear me out hear me out ‼️‼️ At home, Illuga has a handful of sweaters reserved not for him, but for you 😏😏 They are all superrrrrr comfy to wear and he bought them for the sole purpose of bundling you up with his clothes whenever you feel cold 💕💕 And since they are worn only by you, they capture your scent real well; so whenever Illuga's alone and misses you, he can take one or two off the shelves and hug them to sleep so that the nightmares won't find him while you're gone 🥺🥺
Or or!! Nightingale hybird!Illuga who stuffs his old feathers into a nice, comfy coat for you to wear outside. Even the harshest Snezhnaya winters got nothing against the coat he gave you cause its custom made to keep you dry, safe and warm even when he's not there!! Who's a good nightingale? Illuga 🥺🥺
He probably calls his kid "pet sperm" much to his partner's chagrin 😭
(Link to video)
Omg he WOULD 😭😭😭 All the knights look in horror when Lohen asks you where “your little pet sperm” is because 1) That is NOT what you should be calling a child 2) LOHEN THAT'S YOUR CHILD TOO???
So while you're holding your baby nice and snug in your arms, affectionately calling them your little bunny and making them laugh like the little bundle of joy they are;your husband over here is putting them on a leash and taking them on walks like they are actually a pet rabbit 😭😭 Someone stop him omg
(Lohen SQ spoilers below)
However, in light of new Lohen Information(tm) regarding his background and past, I think Lohen wouldn't be AS mean to children as I initially thought before his release. He might even have a soft spot for them, if only to make sure that they never face the things he had to experience all by himself...
Even though he'll still call the baby mean nicknames and tease them every so often, he'll also do his absolutely best to make sure that they're always safe from harm. Sure, the leash might look silly and be a bit of an overkill, but you can never be too sure. Especially since this baby is his, a.k.a they might tap into their Lohen's genes at any point in their baby life and start running off to fight monsters like their father.
Don't worry, Lohen will be sure to catch up and watch over them. He'll even teach them how to use a weapon at the tender age of (squints) one— ONE!? LOHEN PUT THAT KNIFE DOWN THAT IS NOT KID FRIENDLY—

In which your pulse proves to him that you're alive and not one of them (the Wild Hunt)
Whenever Illuga hugs you, his face will always find its way to your neck.
Sometimes, it's a simple nuzzle of one side of his cheeks against the sides of your neck, to feel the warmth of blush creeping down your face as his toned chest is pressed into your back.
Sometimes, it's a tight press against the column of space between your clavicle and chin to hide his flustered expression away from your peering eyes, to keep you from pulling away from his lonely lips that have been yearning to kiss you since you left.
Other times, it's a quiet linger closer to your shoulder as his arms tighten their hold around your waist, silently begging you not to go just yet. He, who had never wished anything for himself before in his life, is now wishing for you to stay with him with nothing more than his muttered prayers into your shirt and silent tears gathering around the corner of his bloodshot eyes.
“Wait… just a little longer...”
His arms firmly squeezes your body against his, as if he were attempting to soak your body with his blood and assimilate you into his flesh.
Perhaps if he tries hard enough, he can forget how the Wild Hunt murmurs spoke of your demise in your voice, telling him all the cruel ways they could viciously rip you apart if he so much as laid a finger on them.
How cruel was it that now, he can no longer trust even your voice to comfort him anymore, not when he knows that the Wild Hunt—the things that he despises more than anything in this world—are now capable of imitating the voice of his guiding light?
Let him soak in your warmth for a moment longer in case it gets taken away from him tomorrow.
Let him yearn for you a little more before the world decides to snatch away the last thing that's ever belonged to him away from him again.
Please, let his wishes be heard by you so that tomorrow, you continue to exist in front of him instead of in his memories.
Thump Thump Thump
Once again, he finds himself pressing his face hard into the column of your neck, searching for the wild flutter of your heartbeat in a place within his reach. Only when he finds it does the sound of his own frantic heartbeat gradually fade out of his ears, replaced by the steady and strong beating of your heart that pounds strongly inside your chest, keeping you alive.
You're not a ghost, not a memory, not a cold body in the soil— you are alive.
And when his mind—still haunted by the memory of those things reciting the ways in which you could die in your voice—seeks you out again, he hopes you'll let him listen to the sound of life playing below your flesh once more.
