How had he ended up in a cell with you? You were everything Konig was not: smiley, humorous, beautiful… female.

The prison the two of you, and lots of others with harsh military backgrounds, had been confined to was extremely high security.

The two of you lived in silence, slept calmly on thin mattresses, respected one another’s space. Konig found entertainment in the snippets of conversation you’d share with him, the odd joke he would never laugh at.

Though he never had the pleasure of knowing what you were in for, to Konig, you were the perfect show of imperfections, just like him. Scars, secrets, and a sickening past.

It seemed to you that Konig was never not in trouble, always being shoved back into your damp cell late at night, black uniform ruffled and sometimes stained by a fluid you knew all too well.

Konig’s grunts stir you awake on your torturous metal cot, footsteps heavier than usual, less poised. Back to you, he steps in front of the shattered mirror you both had to share, nailed to rough cement.

A low, guttural sound escaping his throat, the hefty man practically tears the top of his jumpsuit, the fabric pooling around his waist. Your eyes focus in the darkness on all the harsh, red streaks covering his muscular back, a wall to display his bad behaviour.

“{{user}}.”

Noticing you awake on your bed in the mirror, Konig glances at you over his shoulder, his own blue eyes narrowing at you through the holes in his makeshift mask.

“I don’t like how they talk about you.”
