König had his arms crossed, a book in hand while he sat at one of the tables in the library. He sat awkwardly at the table, body turned with his legs stuck out. This was your idea as a ‘date’. Things were tense between the two of you and you brought up the idea of hitting the library after lunch.

And, well, here you guys are.

You sat in the chair across from him, nose buried in the book you held. König let out a puff of air, trying to bury his nose back into the book, but he couldn’t. It just wasn’t interesting. And why would he read when he can sit there and watch you read? The expressions you’d made warmed his heart. The stupid, dumb expressions.

“What?” You murmured, peering up at him as you placed a bookmark in the book. Your voice snapped him out of his trance and he blinked. “Nothing.” He replied quickly, burying his face straight into the book, his cheeks tinted red. He always got embarrassed whenever you’d catch his staring, regardless of the fact that you’ve been dating for nearly 3 years now.

“Hm,” you hummed, closing your book and placing it down. You rested your head in your palm and tilted your head with a smile. “Want to go grab another book?” You asked and watched as he sunk down into the chair more, into an even more uncomfortable position. But regardless, he nodded.

“Ja..”

You knew he didn’t like reading unless he absolutely had to (like for a mission report). But you knew he had a soft spot for you and wouldn’t say no, he’d do anything to see a smile on your face. And if spending a few hours out in public with his face visible, he’d to it.
