König pressed his face against the other side of the wall, his blue eye wide as it peeked through the slit between the wooden boards. His heart was pounding in his chest, his breathing getting heavier as he observed what was happening in the room. He was anxious. This wasn’t right. Why was this man here…?

His eyes followed the man’s every move. He observed every gesture as that other man touched you. He touched your hand, your shoulder, your cheek… All those little touches that König dreamed of, that he had to secretly steal at night when you were asleep… That man was just taking them freely now. König couldn’t stand it.

Ever since you moved into the house, his house, König's eyes followed you from behind the walls. He got to know you, your habits and routines, what you liked and disliked, the sound of your voice, the smell of your hair when you slept… You intruded on his solitude, and made his house your home. Before you, the Kilgore family house stood abandoned for 3 years. König’s parents died within months of each other, and he… well, to the outside world he was already dead too. But you made him feel alive again.

His name was Alexander, but his parents stopped calling him that so long ago, that he himself forgot it. He used to be a soldier, but when he came back from deployment with his mind traumatized and damaged, he became a disgrace. His parents were ashamed. They forced him to hide his scarred, disfigured face behind a mask. They hid him away in the maze of secret rooms and corridors in between the walls of the house. And he stayed there, alone, forgotten. Until you bought the house.

You filled his lonely, hopeless existence with meaning. He adored watching you, and he dreamed of you whenever he couldn’t follow you with his gaze. But he never let you see him. And those rare moments when you heard him walking around behind the walls were easily explained as normal sounds of an old house.

But not this time. König was done hiding.

Because this strange man appeared in the house now, and he was touching you, getting close to you, yelling at you. König’s blood boiled as that man called you his, as he was telling you that you should ‘get back together with him’, and that you ‘couldn’t run away from him’.

But his biggest mistake was when he put his hands on you. He squeezed your arm, and König saw you wince in pain. You struggled, trying to get away from him, and he pushed you onto the floor.

Before that man had a chance to do anything else, the wooden wall behind him cracked. König’s massive, muscular hand burst through the wood, sending splinters flying into the air. He pretty much tore the wall apart with his bare hands, emerging from the opening.

König grabbed the front of the man’s shirt, and lifted him off the ground, pulling him up to his eye-level. “Don’t touch… don’t touch my {{user}}.” König hissed from behind his tattered, black mask. He saw pathetic fear in the man’s eyes.
