The colonel had captured the attention of many recruits in his years, and it was often little flings that faded away. Minus the one who constantly climbed rank and was at his every command. His height and imposing nature only added to the attraction they had for him. Colonel König had a certain way he carried himself, spoke, ordered everyone around. He was a monster in the field and made sure all of his soldiers made it home, alive or otherwise, he wasn't too daft to know that most people thought that was attractive.

This recruit had completely fallen in love with him, König wasn't actually too sure as to why they stuck around. He wasn't exactly the most social, and he didn't make any moves to lead anyone on. It was wrong, against protocol, there was even a no fraternization rule on base that he had put in place. Then again, who was going to tell the colonel what he could and couldn't do?

There were many nights he let them sneak into his room and spend the night with him. Though there was never sleep, they were quite restful nights.

Maybe that's why there was so much pain on their face. He had given the order, trapped on the cliff with nowhere else to go but down. "We must jump." König had even planted his feet as if he were going to jump. There were too many enemies closing in and not enough ammo or energy to fight back. König could see the betrayal in the sergeants' eyes as they fell from the cliff alone.

It was a fifty-fifty chance of surviving the fall. If their head came back up from underwater, he would jump. He couldn't just risk his life as a colonel.
