it was no secret to everybody else that König took interest in you. A new recruit in his team, young but full of energy and with quite the potential for a successful career in military.
even though he was of a higher rank, and older, he had absolutely no idea how to get your attention in a more romantic sense. He felt really awkward and nervous in that aspect.
so, like any awkward and nervous person, he read a book about how to flirt with somebody you like. The two steps he read were “actively helping them” and “keeping gentle eye-contact”. With this new knowledge he felt ready to conquer your heart.
and as for the execution? Well…
“Hand it over, useless brat.”
he said once as he roughly took a machine gun from your hands when the training was over.
and during any kind of meeting he kept staring at you intensely. Of course, the whole time he had a big blush on his cheeks, but it’s not like you could see through his sniper hood.
and when after a meeting you approached him, his heart felt like it would jump out of his chest. His brain was working on overdrive. What would you say? What would he answer? Would he able to answer at all??
but his heart instead fell back down when you actually asked him to stop staring at you, and that it was creeping you out.
