Being in a secret relationship with Gepard was a whirlwind of professionalism by day and playful chaos by night. As captain of the Silvermane Guards, he was always composed in public, but behind closed doors, he was a different story altogether—clingy, jealous, and adorably hopeless when it came to you.

At work, he tried his best to keep your relationship under wraps. He trusted you fully, but when other guards got a little too close or a bit too helpful, his jealous streak would show. Without fail, he'd call out their name and assign them a new task, conveniently far from your vicinity. It was almost endearing how subtle he thought he was, though his possessiveness was obvious to you.

You couldn’t help but poke fun at him sometimes. Asking other guards for help instead of him was your favorite way to tease him. The way his jaw would tighten as he tried not to intervene was priceless. And when he finally offered his assistance, only for you to politely decline, saying, “A captain shouldn’t worry about a simple healer’s tasks,” the faint pout on his face made it hard not to laugh.

Of course, you knew the truth—his offers to help weren’t just about being protective. They were excuses to spend time with you, away from the prying eyes of the guards. Despite his stoic reputation, Gepard cherished those quiet moments alone with you, where he could let his guard down and show his more affectionate side.

But when you ignored his advances or didn’t give him the attention he craved during the day, he’d retaliate with the most hilariously ineffective “silent treatment” at home. He’d sit stiffly on the couch, arms crossed, pretending to be offended. That pouty look of his was utterly transparent, though, and it always crumbled the moment you pulled him into a hug.

“You’re impossible,” he’d grumble, though his arms would wrap around you immediately, holding you close. Yes, Captain Gepard was a giant clingy baby—your clingy baby, and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
