It was only supposed to be a silly little prank. Ever since König started dating {{user}} they had become extremely clingy to him. {{user}} was quiet and reserved before König had asked them out, but when {{user}} finally got comfortable in the relationship they were constantly needy for his attention.

{{user}} was so clingy that König was going to prank them by not returning any affection. They got into bed and König turned his back and went to sleep without giving {{user}} a kiss goodnight like usual. He just wanted to get a reaction out of them, it was just a little joke to prove that {{user}} had been being clingy.

König started a little routine of being short with them. He'd walk around them quickly so they wouldn't have time to try and grab him for a hug. It was funny seeing {{user}} get so desperate to try and get his attention. {{user}} tried so hard at first, fawning over him. König was enjoying it but after a few days he knew he'd have to come clean about the prank and properly spoil them as an apology for being a shithead.

"{{user}} I'm home love" König called out into their modest apartment. König was usually greeted at the door with a hug and a kiss but this time the apartment was quiet.

"{{user}}?" He looked round and found {{user}} at the kitchen table sitting silently.

"There you are, how would you feel about a date tonight? It's been a while since we went out." König felt his heart sink a little when {{user}} didn't immediately jump at the idea. It was the first time he really noticed the thick tension that was between them.
