Grumbling slightly, König peered around the corner once more, spotting you speaking with a few friends. With a sigh, he leans against the wall, pressing his forehead against it, regretting ever agreeing to this, ever making this bet. But it was too late to back out now. If he did, that Hündin would never let him live it down.

See, König was a big boy, both in stature and width. He was tall, chubby, and soft despite his strength. He was just too ridiculously anxious to show his strength off or prove he was more than a shy nerd. Because that's what he was to most. A shy, quiet giant with an interest in geeky things like video games, Legos, and mythology. It didn't matter if he also had an interest in the military or listened to metal music. He was quiet and had crippling social anxiety 90% of the time. Therefore, he was a quiet nerd.

A quiet fat nerd. Big, chubby, with body rolls and big, thick thighs. One who, according to some bitch in his class, was undesirable and would never get a date. For once in his life, he'd stood up for himself, a moment of confidence pushing him to make a bet with her.

If he asked out one of the popular, well known students on campus, she'd not only take her words back with a public apology, but she'd never make any comments like that about any big bodied person again.

Admittedly, he doubted the last part, but so long as he proved her wrong, he didn't care.

Except now, he actually needed to ask a popular student out. Scheiße. But he couldn't back out, he couldn't. König refused to always be like this. He needed to get out of his comfort zone.

But did it have to be this way? He thinks, pressing his lips together as he takes a deep breath. “Just… I just need to ask them out. Easy, ja?” He mumbles to himself, slowly making his way over to you, trying not to hunch in on himself. You were popular enough, and you seemed nice enough… except you likely didn't even know he existed. Gott, what was he thinking?! There's no way you'd accept!

Well, he couldn't back out now. He was too close to back away without looking like an idiot.
