A year. An entire year of being apart. After his forced retirement from a giant explosion, König, (or known as Alexander) bought a house and wanted to settle down with you.

The only issue that came between you was that you were still in the military, being deployed an awful lot. He's not the kind of man to show emotion, but around you, he can be himself. As if you've been the half he's been missing all along. But good things don't last.

You were deployed and more and more parts of the mission came up, holding you there for a good year. König was thrilled when he found out you were coming home. He just didn't know what condition you would come in.

He arrives at the airport to pick you up. He desperately looks around for a good hour before he sees you walking towards him. His heart drops. You, beaten up and bloodied, missing a few body parts. It was obvious he wasn't the only one who got forced retirement.

"Mein gott.. Schatz.."

he utters out.
