Summary
Varka’s blue eyes always catch him off guard. Lohen used to not like it, when Varka sized him up with that gaze. But as time went on, Lohen craved it. He wants Varka to always look at him, chasing him with his eyes, placing Lohen in the center of his regard. It is, he knows, a dangerous want.
What’s surprising to him is that Varka does indulge him. Cardinal Seamus and Anselm hate Lohen for it. Varka’s blatant favoritism has not gone unnoticed, it seems. But the man himself doesn’t seem to care much.
Or, a quiet moment between Varka and Lohen when Lohen is in solitary confinement.

Summary
Grand Master Varka is not a strict commander. Not careless, certainly, but laid-back. To fulfill one's duty was more than enough to be in his good graces. But it's hard for those around him not to notice just how much he lets Vice-Captain Lohen get away with.
Or:
Snippets of a developing (and slightly controversial) relationship through the eyes of those watching it happen.

Summary
Varka watched silently as Lohen's eyes scanned his own, analysing, until they widen ever so slightly as a sly grin slid its way onto his face. "You did notice," he said, elation growing with every whispered word. "You noticed and you drank it anyway. Do you trust me that much, Varka?"
Varka did, and perhaps he shouldn't.

Logen was so desperately bored, and all he could do was wait. Maybe he could speed things along? A little scheme never, ever hurt anyone.

Summary
"I am not sick, per se," Flins admits. "It is... an involuntary bodily reaction which comes after being submerged in a body of water for too long without reprieve."
A pause.
"There was... also rather a lot of Wild Hunt that needed dealing with, too--"
"Sir Flins, you just described the process of being sick."

Summary
A beat of silence passes. When Wriothesley looks up again, Neuvillette’s expression has noticeably relaxed. The barely-there hint of a smile looks beautiful in the dim light of his office.
“I am most grateful for your invitation, Your Grace, and I would happily accept,” he says.
Wriothesley had not expected that answer. He blinks. “Really?”
“Of course,” Neuvillette says, amusement creeping into his tone. “The event happens to fall during a lighter period of activity here at the Palais Mermonia. A happy coincidence. I can be free for the evening.”
The Fortress of Meropide comes together for a scrap-up celebration of White Day—a grander event than any they've hosted before. Wriothesley invites Neuvillette, and the night proceeds in a way that he is not at all expecting.

Summary
“I was pondering a new experiment I’ve been wanting to run—one I believe you would be best suited to assist me with,” Albedo explained slowly.
Lohen cocked his head to the side, assessing. “Oh? Would this be an actually interesting experiment, or one of your usual boring ones that put me to sleep?”
“I believe you would find it interesting. I suppose whether I share the sentiment would depend on your performance.”
Or: Curious about sex, Albedo decides to run an experiment to see if it’s as enjoyable as people say. As for who should assist him with it, he settles on none other than the vice captain of the 5th Company: Lohen.

Summary
Not too long ago, there was chatter about an incident involving Master Diluc and some outlandish alcohol from Snezhnaya.
Now, it’s no shock to anyone that Diluc is not a fan of alcohol.
Whether it be wine, beer, or any other of the various distilled beverages Mondstadt cherishes, Diluc can’t stand it.
That is, not today, he can’t.
8 years ago, deep in the frozen tundra of Snezhnaya, was a different story.
Or;
Diluc has a one night stand with a Fatui Harbinger.

Summary
"I've asked around, Diluc. Everyone says that you seem more distracted lately."
"There is no correlation! For all you know, I could be distracted by some unforseen problem you knights have yet to discover."
Lohen smirked. "But is it really that, Master Diluc?"
————
After learning that Diluc has been targetted, Lohen decides to task himself with walking the winery owner home. And walking him home obviously entails railing him, no questions asked.

Summary
Diluc pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. "I'm not sure whether or not that was a compliment, but I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't stare at me."
"Sounds like you want me to stop, Master Diluc." Lohen's grin only grew wider.
"Indeed, I would like you to stop."
"Then, make me."
".. Excuse me?"
"I'm sure that if you were to bash my head against the wall a couple of times, I'd have no choice but to stop staring, wouldn't you say, Master Diluc?"
Diluc's brows creased in concern as he looked at the man, whose face was flushed, pupils dilated and shaking as he stared at him with scary intensity.
——
Positively exhausted after their “fight,” Lohen turned to look at Diluc with a smug grin.
“I win.” he announced, taking in the sight of the disheveled man before him.

Jiang Cheng visits the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City while on an impromptu trip his friends forced him to join at gunpoint (not really, but Wei Wuxian's threats to expose all of Jiang Cheng's old Facebook photos might as well be the same damn thing).
He just doesn't expect something – or someone, for that matter – to follow him home.

“Then, I believe I’ll take you up on your offer,” he agrees. “As for today, what did you have planned?”

(A day of babysitting his nephew alongside Lan Xichen forces Jin Guangyao to face what he truly wants, and the idea that maybe he can actually have it.)
