GuP: The battle for love [Male Reader x Koume]

a nobody

The revving of the engine shook them around as they felt the surge of energies, sounds of machineguns and canons in the distance, "3... 2.. 1.."
a voice started counting down as karl readies up.

"alle raus! (Out! All of you!)" The driver yells as one by one they hopped down from the truck that was carrying them, karl stretches out his body as he yawns from his tiredness

"Same Scheiße different day." He muttered to himself as he drags a crate full of ammo to a group of tank crew who was standing infront of a convoy of trucks,

"Phew, Here's the ammunitio-"

"Get out of the way." A commander shoved him aside as the commander opens the crate and inspects it.

"Christ.. asshole." Karl muttered to himself as he straightened his jumpsuit and went back to his group of  fellow mechanics

"Ah karl." A friend greeted him

"Hi merrick." Karl greets him back

"Jesus, Günter is such a piece of shit. Yesterday he gave me 'der Finger' for no fuckin reason. Verdammter Gott." Karl frustratingly said as he sat down

"Well what are you gonna do about it. We're nobodies anyways.." merrick said with a sigh,

"Jä but, atleast have a single grain of fuckin respect!" Karl yells as he drank a hot cup of coffee

Suddenly, a voice shouts out for his name, "karl! Get over here we need you, sei schnell."

Karl sighs as he stood up, merrick gave a friendly thumbs up as karl grumply walks away,

After a shot walk...

"What is it now." Karl says to the tankcrews,

"The usual, transmission" one said as she points at the clearly fucked transmission, karl pulls out his tools as he began working on the Panther tank.

As he tries to fix it, *BONK"

"AWH SCHEISSE, t-the hell?" Karl grunts in pain as he covered his head with his hands, he looked to his right to see an empty shell rolling towards him, as his face fills up with confusion.

"S-sorry! Oh my... Are you o-okay?" A voice reaches out to him

"J-Jä... Im fine.. urgh." He said as he got up from the ground, as he stood up and looked infront of him to see a girl with fluffy brown hair, from the looks of it. She's the commander of the panther,

"Are you h-hurt? Do you want me to get a medic or w-whoa!," As the girl was frantically trying to help karl up, she unfortunately tripped, Karl's reflexes let him catch her before she hits the ground leading to them being upclose and personal,

"A-aah.." they were both flustered as they were trying to akwardly get their words in but to no progress,

"I-im sorry!"

"N-nein, its fine. huh err. Well.. you're the commander right?" Karl desperately tries to change the subject

"Y-yeah... Im- well, my name is koume.. koume akaboshi.." she told karl

"Well.. im karl, I'm one of the repairmens..."

Both of them shyly looked away until karl sighs to himself,

"(Why is my heart beating so.. fast..)" karl thinked to himself,

"Well.. I've fixed the transmission and its getting late.. we're supposed to head back and regroup.. right?" karl said

Koume nodded with a shy smile as she returns to her panther, before she enters the big cat through it's hatch, she smiles to herself and took a peek at a confused karl,

"Good talking with you then.. uh-" karl cuts himself off as he backs up from the panther

After that, karl slowly walked back towards his rest area, merrick noticed his friend and greets him once again

"Welcome back to our safehaven, ka- err, Huh.. you looked like you're a little shellshocked hah." Merrick points out while smirking.

Karl snapped out of his trance and looked at his comrade, "what? n-no.." he muttered....
"Well, there's something... Heh,"

Timeskip,

after awhile the tanks and the column of vehicle prepares to depart and as karl was packing up his stuff and prepares to leave a Tiger II approached him, and a familiar face popped out of the commander's hatch.

"Hey little dude."

"Im literally only 1 year younger than you though," karl sighs to himself

"Still, heh, need a ride?"

"Oh hell yeah, thanks kurt!" Karl says as he excitedly climbs up the king tiger, he sat besides the commander hatch as his big brother pats him in the back

"Busy day huh?" Kurt said to karl

"Yeah, it'll be more bearable when i get to ride a tank instead of sticking a wrench up a tank's ass" karl said in a joking tone which made kurt chuckled a little bit

"So, easy as usual?"

"Well, we didnt expect a BC freedom commander to give 4 of our panthers a hard time." Kurt mumbles

"H-how?"

"It was quite daring for them to challange us but now, i remember why i always told myself and my crew why I shouldn't underestimate anyone."

"The R35 literally disabled 3 panthers by blowing off the tracks and one got its barrel blown off,"

"That guy's nuts." Karl said as he took a bite out of a cereal bar

"Hah. More like, clever, even though we have the best tank and one of the biggest arsenal, we still have that soft spot and when if the enemy is smart, they'll hit us there and even I couldn't do anything about it."

Karl simply nods and began to watch the sunset besides them as they drive on, kurt goes inside the tank and laid his back against the thick sheets of metal armor and snoozes off

Koume's POV

A panther, a tiger and a tiger II drove besides eachother, koume was peeking outside the Commander's cupola as she smiled to herself

"Something's wrong koume?" A voice from the radio calls her name

"E-eh! N-nothing ms. Nishizumi!" Koume frantically reaches for the radio inside the panther

"Was it that boy? Was he a friend? Is he bothering you?" the voice said,

Koume looked to her right to see non other than the nishizumi maho with a slight smile on her face

"Nothing, h-he was just one of the repairmens, nothing else.."

"Okay, okay... So it is... Erika, you've been quiet all this time." Maho looked to the tiger II as a grumpy silver haired girl crossed her arms,

"Tch! Im not into these kinds of chit chats. They're waste of times,"
erika pouted.

Koume chuckles as the three of them continues on driving down the roads,

"Well.. about him, he's nice~"
koume said with a smile....
