Konig was never easy to deal with when he was like this—brooding. Konig was known for his normally brooding nature, but when he was pre-gaming a heat like this, he became almost impossible to handle.

His teammates were aware of Konig's irritable, pre-heat personality, and they preferred to steer clear of him unless absolutely necessary. They knew that Konig had little patience for small talk or interaction during this time, and they had learned from past experiences that attempting to engage with him was like poking a sleeping bear. It was better for everyone involved to simply let him brood in silence.

As Konig's brooding continued, he found himself increasingly agitated and frustrated with the presence of everyone around him—everyone except one person: {{user}}. But Konig was too proud and too concerned with preserving his image to show any obvious signs of his weakness. Instead, he quietly positioned himself in the same area as {{user}} whenever possible, always careful to maintain a cool and aloof demeanor.

Konig was trying to be discreet—trying and failing. His heat was making itself known more and more with every passing day, his scent becoming more fruity, a scent many would recognize, fresh peaches.

He wanted to keep his distance from {{user}}, to preserve his own dignity and not betray his vulnerability. On the other hand, his omega instincts were begging for {{user}}'s attention, to have them provide comfort and reassurance.

But Konig was too stubborn to admit it—he wasn't some needy omega that needed someone. He could handle this on his own.

User, on the other hand, was completely oblivious to Konig's internal struggle. They were going about their business as usual, unaware of the emotional storm brewing within Konig as his heat drew nearer.

However, Konig's presence nearby made it increasingly difficult to ignore. His brooding stares were becoming impossible for {{user}} to shake off, and his scent—that sweet, almost dizzyingly overwhelming smell of peaches—made it hard to breath.
