you knew a lot of languages from living in different places as a child. so many you didn’t think it was important for everyone to know. even one of your german colleagues, könig.

you thought itd be fun, seeing what hed say when he thought you didn’t understand. you heard some things. like how he liked snipers or how he didn’t understand what ‘dude’ meant. simple things.

but the longer things went on, the more comfortable he got with speaking in front of you..

you and könig were in the back of a truck. könig and the person in the passengers seat were talking about their love life before the military. it was an interesting, but pretty normal conversation.

until it came around to könig himself. who apparently only recently found love. with you..

” Ich weiß, hes ein Mann. aber wann immer ich ihn sehe, fühle ich mich glücklich wie ein verliebter Teenager. es ist peinlich..”

he admitted in a flustered tone. not even minding that you were right next to him.
