Honkai: Star Rail Gepard x Male reader

Chapter 3: Saving Jarilo-VI

(y/n)'s P.O.V.

By the time Bronya left, it was about 6:30AM, I had placed a letter down at Serval's counter, and went back upstairs only to realise that the sun is starting to rise from the spare room's window. I slowly watched the sunrise waiting for my friends to arrive, because if anyone needed to take the opportunity of not being caught, this would be their chance. When I had heard some footsteps, I had noticed that Sampo, the trio and one other, possibly Seele, started walking to the workshop.

As they arrived, I went down to the main floor, dressed as (fake/name), and greeted them along with introducing myself to Seele. As Serval reads the letter that Bronya left, she understood what was going to happen. Even though, she already knew from me about the problem, I didn't know what to do after we reunited, luckily Serval had a plan, it made sense considering that Bronya had trusted Serval with this. As we were about to go, we heard a doorbell chime, "Quick hide," Serval said.

I didn't hide though because I was in my (fake/name) outfit, and it would be suspicious if Serval was by herself anyway. The person who walked through the door was Gepard, someone who let's just say wanted to have a casual chat with Serval. Meanwhile, the others hid just so they didn't get spotted. As the siblings had a chat, I was pretending to clean while also standing in one spot, in order to hide Seele, of course I felt a little hot, so I took of my jacket, and placed it above to Seele. Gepard decided to walk closer to me and wanted to ask for something: "(fake/name)? Why did you take your jacket off?"

"I was starting to heat up, I would ask the same question as to why you haven't taken your armour off... but now thinking of it, I am not going to ask it at all."

"Come on lil Geppie, leave the man alone, and besides, I have a query, what reason did Cocolia label them as criminals?"

Serval saved the bell, as I was slowly heating up with being next to Gepard. As Gepard answered Serval's question he explained: "I need to be at my post in a couple of minutes, let me know if you see the criminals, especially (y/n), I have a feeling he's nearby."

As Gepard left, I felt a chill down my spine. I removed my jacket from Seele and apologised about that, she didn't say a word but nodded in forgiveness. Next step, to go to where the Stelleron is located. Luckily, because of Serval's experience she knew the whereabouts of where the Stelleron is. Before we left, I quickly changed back into my original uniform for (y/n). Once that was done, we started to walk to the location. Along the way, we bumped into a couple of people, Serval lied through her teeth about us 5 being her apprentices, and said that something needed fixing. Once we made it to an officer who is named Dunn, only to find out that it was a trap to begin with, we had defeated them and started continuing on with the quest. But it came to a temporary halt when we made it to the frontline, as Gepard was there. 

As Serval and Gepard started to argue I didn't want to say anything at first until Gepard said: "... Are you even proud enough to be a Landau?"

"Woah, woah, woah. Hold up Gepard, I might not know you that well, or Serval that well either, but I know a couple of things: First off, how dare you try and shun your Elder Sister after all the things that she has done for you... last time I checked, your weapon was made by her, herself... she also stood up for you when both of you were younger, now you just want to believe that she is doing nothing but tarnishing your family name? Second off... If you had to choose between family and work, you are doing a poor job doing so, considering that you don't have your priorities straight... Finally, how are you sure that you aren't being manipulated by the supreme guardian herself, are you just a mindless drone only working by her command I mean come on, weren't you trying to protect the citizens because of some annoyance you had with your family?"

"Out of all people, (y/n), you have no right to say what you just said..."

"Well, guess what I just did. Ugh, it's like talking to a lead wall, we need to do something."
