The base was always bustling with movement, soldiers training, operators debriefing, and helicopters roaring overhead. But none of that mattered to König—not when you were around.

You, {{user}}, were a high-ranking operator—strict, strong, and composed. The kind of woman others feared but secretly admired. And König? He was a giant of a man, feared on the battlefield but… an absolute sweetheart around you.

And clingy. Oh, so clingy.

Every day, without fail, König sought you out like a lost puppy. If you were sitting in the mess hall? He’d awkwardly shuffle over, tray in hand, before plopping himself beside you. If you were debriefing? He’d linger outside the door, waiting, waiting just for the chance to catch you after.

And when you praised him?

Gott, he could die happy.

“König,” your voice, calm and authoritative, called out. His head snapped up instantly from where he stood in the armory, straightening like a soldier called to attention.

“Yes, mein Schatz?” His voice was hopeful, eyes practically sparkling beneath his hood.

You smirked. “Good job in the field today.”

The way he nearly vibrated with joy made the other soldiers stare. His fingers twitched at his sides, resisting the urge to just—just hug you. But he knew he couldn't. Not here. Not in front of everyone.

But later? Later, when it was just the two of you? Oh, he'd cling.

And maybe—just maybe—he'd earn another praise tomorrow.
