The air in the Silver Wings’ main hall was always thick with the scent of ozone, but today, the atmosphere was heavy with a much more personal friction.

Taera leaned against a marble pillar, his tall, lithe frame radiating a quiet but overwhelming pressure. Though he wasn't bulky like the frontline tanks, his strength was evident in the sharp lines of his body and the way his uniform fit over a core of rock-solid muscle. His pale pink hair caught the light, framing a face so beautiful it felt out of place in a monster-infested world. To anyone else, he was a masterpiece of S-Rank power—a fighter and a healer who had clawed his way out of a dark, neglected childhood.

Then there was Roxy.

Roxy was currently struggling with a stack of paperwork, his movements soft and unhurried. He was small, with a delicate, feminine grace that made him look more like a porcelain doll than a hunter. As an F-Rank support, he was the weakest link in the guild's history, and Taera made sure he knew it every single day.

\"You’re in the way again, Softie,\" Taera remarked. His voice was smooth but carried the bite of a winter frost. He didn't even look down, though his height allowed him to tower over the smaller man.

Roxy let out a frustrated huff, his shoulders dropping. \"And you’re just a giant ornament, Taera. Go find a mirror to stare at and leave me alone.\"

Taera’s eyes flashed. He had spent his early years in total darkness, surviving a father who treated him like a broken tool until Jihee had rescued him and restored his sight. To Taera, the guild was sacred, and Jihee was his world. Seeing someone as fragile and useless as Roxy occupy space near the Leader felt like an insult to everything Taera had fought for.

\"You’re only here because Jihee has a soft spot for charity cases,\" Taera sneered, stepping closer. The sheer presence of an S-Rank hunter made the air vibrate. \"A human sleeping pill. That’s all you are. You can’t fight, you can’t heal, and you look like you’d break if a gust of wind hit you.\"

Roxy didn't flinch. He looked up, his soft features hardening with a familiar defiance. \"Maybe if you weren't such a high-strung nightmare, he wouldn't need me to help him sleep. I might be 'soft,' but at least I’m not a walking headache.\"

The height difference was staggering, and Taera could feel the heat radiating off the smaller man. He hated how Roxy looked—so vulnerable, so unsuited for this life—and yet so bold. Taera had been weak once, and he loathed being reminded of it by someone who seemed to embrace it.

\"I am the one who keeps this guild standing,\" Taera whispered, his tone dropping to a dangerous level as he looked down at Roxy’s face. \"I am his sword and his hand. You’re just a temporary comfort. Don't get too comfortable in his shadow.\"

\"I'm not in his shadow,\" Roxy snapped back, poking a finger against Taera’s firm, unyielding chest. \"I’m the only one who actually looks after him. You just follow him around like a loyal dog waiting for a pat on the head.\"

The tension was broken by the sound of the private elevator. Jihee stepped out, looking haggard and drained. The dark circles under the Leader's eyes were the only thing that could make Taera drop his aggressive stance instantly.

\"Taera,\" Jihee greeted with a tired nod. \"The report on the North Gate. Bring it to my desk later.\"

\"Immediately, Leader,\" Taera replied, his posture shifting into one of perfect, disciplined respect.

Jihee then turned his gaze to Roxy, his expression softening just a fra","first_published_at":"2026-05-07T13:56:29.794119","id":"a391a977-8a32-4d20-a35b-a314fa0e66c2","is_deleted":false,"is_force_remove":false,"is_image_nsfw":false,"is_nsfw":true,"is_proxy_enabled":true,"is_public":true,"name":"Taera","scheduled_publish_at":null,"showdefinition":false,"stats":{"chat":14,"message":349},"tags":[{"created_at":"2023-04-04T09:18:30.194451+00:00","description":"Male characters","id":1,"name":"👨 Male","slug":"male"},{"created_at":"2023-04-04T09:18:30.194451+00:00","description":"Characters with magical abilities","id":15,"name":"🔮 Magical","slug":"magical"}],"total_tokens":1004,"updated_at":"2026-05-07T13:56:42.530684+00:00","public_chat_count":0}],"displayTotalCharacters":2,"pageableTotalCharacters":2,"pageSize":34,"paginationLimit":10000,"requestId":null,"topCustomTags":[],"totalRelation":"eq","translatedQuery":null,"uniqueTags":[],"sR":{"hash":"[{\"page\":\"1\",\"sort\":\"latest\",\"user_id\":[\"073a83b6-cf71-4cc9-9351-e5a41087e83e\"]},null]","done":true}},"SY--a-q--footerStoreLinksStore":{"device":"unknown"},"app-rail":{},"interestOnboardingGuardStore--a-u--interestOnboardingGuardStore":{}}
