Chapter 4: Familiar Feelings

This morning was like every other at the cabin. Except one thing was off. König was up first.

I quickly pulled on the first thing I saw which was a black skirt that ended a little above my knees and a long sweater that went half way down my skirt. I ran to the kitchen, hoping he wasn't in trouble. This was very out of the ordinary. He never woke up before me, he was a heavy sleeper. I flung open the door just to find könig not in his work gear, but in a tight fitting Tshirt, grey sweatpants, and of course, his mask.

"Morgen" (morning)

"Hey, what.. what are you doing up so early?"

"It is not early, it's 9am. You were still sleeping so I thought I would make us some breakfast."

His voice had a small rasp in it, I could tell he hadn't been awake for long.

"Well, why aren't you in your gear?"

"I thought that maybe we could take a break? Maybe scout the base later in the day?"

He placed something in front of me on a plate. I had no idea what it was and I was not inclined to eat it.

"Uh, what's this könig?"

I poked it with my finger.

"Y/N, what do you mean? It's an omelet, is it that bad?"

I could tell from his eyes that he was frowning behind his mask. I stood up and rubbed his back with my hand.

"Aww.." I said, faking sympathy and pouted "it looks like you found roadkill and cracked an egg on top of it."

He turned around in his chair and playfully shoved me.

"Shut up." Konig replied

After a while, we went on a walk to go scout the base one more time before we followed through with our plan. Once we arrived, we bent down and hid behind a tree, könig bent down on one knee behind me and my back was facing him. He was so close I could feel the body heat radiating off of him. I shook my head to make myself focus, but it was so hard when I could literally feel his breath on my bare neck.

After 3 hours of observing the base and watching the soldiers routines that was guarding it, I started to get colder as the wind started to blow more.

"König, I'm freezing. Can we go back to the cabin and pick this up another time?"

Suddenly, he grabbed my waist and flipped me around so I landed on top of him. He laid back on the fresh snow and put his head in the crook of my neck, my breasts were pushed onto his neck and he pulled out the gun from his holster. One of königs legs was between mine, and his knee was bent so it pushed up against my crotch

"König what-"

"Shhh, I think I heard something."

He whispered into my ear, seemingly oblivious to the position we were in. I hated this, he was so oblivious to what he was doing to me, or maybe he was just playing innocent. I was looking in the opposite direction of him when I saw a man from the enemy base try to sneak towards us. I quickly pulled the gun from my holster.

"König, look out!"

Two shots fired, one of them was mine, it went directly through the man's head. He stumbled back and died. I quickly got off könig and he winced.

"Are you okay?"

My eyes scanned his body, looking for blood or an injury. And there it was, a bullet pierced halfway through his shoulder. I saw the panic in his eyes it was so close to his heart he could've died, but I knew there was no time to waste. I knew someone had heard the gunshots and was probably coming for us. I stood up and offered a hand to könig. He grabbed it and we ran as fast as we could to a shed nearby.

As soon as we entered I laid könig down on a chair in the shed. And I locked the door behind me.

"Fuck.." he winced.

Luckily, I had a small first aid kit in my pocket. I quickly unpacked the first aid kit and took out tweezers, hydrogen peroxide, and a cloth. Königs eyes were wide open and his breath was heavy.

"Lift your arms."

He did exactly as I said. I quickly took his vest and shirt off to locate the wound. I could almost hear his heartbeat. I took the tweezers and I could easily spot the bullet lodged in his shoulder.

"Okay, on the count of three I'm going to remove the bullet okay?"

"One... Two.." I counted.

On two I put the tweezers in his flesh and took out the bullet.

"Hurensohn, Scheiße!" (Son of a bitch, fuck!)

I grabbed the hydrogen peroxide and poured some onto the wound. He winced, kicked his feet, and yelled curses from the pain, but I knew it had to be done. After the peroxide stopped bubbling, I wrapped the cloth tightly around his shoulder across the wound and tied it.

After a few minutes, the pain died down and he spoke

"Fuck... I- I could've died. Y/N, you saved my life."

He looked down at me as I was sitting in front of him on the floor.

"Oh, it's nothing really. I just saw the guy and shot him."

He got off the chair and kneeled down in front of me. He looked deep into my eyes, almost like he was searching for something.

"Stop.. you saved my life. Don't make it seem like it wasn't a big deal."

His grip tightened on my shoulders and his eyes glossed over as water filled them. I couldn't tell if it was from the pain or from the fact he could've died. He let go of my shoulders and pulled me into a tight embrace. I was stiff in his arms but I eventually accepted it and hugged him back. It was so nice to be how we used to. We were never close, but we talked, hugged, stayed up late together. Familiar feelings came rushing back to me, kindness, adoration, even love. The tension was high these past days and I know he felt it too, but I thought this wasn't the right time to bring it up.

He let me go but kept his hands on my waist. He looked into my eyes again like he was searching for something in them.

"What's with that look?" I chuckled.

"Du bist wunderschön.." (You're beautiful..)

A small tint of pink rose to my cheeks as he said this. He kept one hand on my waist and brought his other hand to the back of my neck, pulling me a little closer. Our faces were inches apart.

"Thank you, könig." I felt my heart start to race as he pulled me closer.

"I love how you say my name." His grip tightened on my waist and I inched closer to him, our lips almost touching. His hand rubbed the back of my neck slowly.

"Can I kiss you?" König said.

My heart fluttered. I knew he felt the same way. Now, I didn't have to suppress my feelings for him anymore. I could show him.

"Yes."
