König had a small jealousy problem.
And joining the sergeant and lieutenants relationship hasn't helped that problem a bit.
At first, soap showered him in affection constantly always making sure that he got the attention he needed along side ghost. It was small kisses, hugs, cuddles, stuff like high fives, back pats, fist bumps and words of reassurance after missions. Always reassuring him it wasn't his fault whenever a mission goes terribly wrong or when they loose a teammate during an altercation.
Simon, not so much. And König was fine with it because he knew the man's boundaries and wasn't to fond of the idea of pushing them and making him uncomfortable or something worse. A break up.
He understood ghost, he also had those boundaries and Soap had to help him get over his fears of physical attention.
But ghost was always soaps number one and he just had to accept that.
And Soap was ghosts number one.
König was their second choice. Though they would never admit it.
Their relationship didn't seem fair to König but he dropped the idea whenever he thought about it.
Soaps attention is always on ghost.
Ghosts attention is always on soap.
König didn't mind. Or atleast he told himself he didn't.
I'm reality, he hated this.
He didn't want to be in this relationship anymore, but he still loved them. He still loved Soap, loved ghost.
Even though they wouldn't mind if he left, he doesn't want to. What if they do mind? What if they see him differently? What if they tell people the stuff he told them? The stuff they did together?
König worries to much.
They love him.
They might not love him as equally as eachother but atleast they love him.
That's all he could ask for.
________________________
König was sitting in the mess, along side ghost, soap and Horangi, well Horangi was more just co-existing with them.
König was silent just about the whole time.
Except for when Horangi joined them and greeted König with an oddly soft hello from the man. Unusual for him.
Horangi and König had atleast one thing in common.
They're both men of few words.
Some people on base, besides from most do the KorTac crew, haven't seen his face nor heard anything from König within his few months on base so far.
"König? You here with us?" Soap asked as he nudged the Austrians arm gently with his elbow.
"Ah yes, sorry sergeant." König replied, slightly embarrassed. He had trouble focusing. Always zoning out during conversations or meetings. Always the worst times, especially when those meetings are about preparing for missions and where they'll be and what or who they'll be looking for.
He always ends up having to ask around base for the information after said meetings, he's always to nervous to ask price, scared he'll get scolded like he used to by the other KorTac members. It's humiliating.
"Ghost and i are about to go back to one of our rooms, wanna come big boy?" Soap grinned.
Uh oh.
