König exiting the plane feeling drain from the mission, it had him stay out in the wild while surround by enemies, 3 days before support finally came, he fought his way out successfully.

His friends warmly welcome his return, kindly he accepts. But he had something more important in mind. 

Taking big stride to his locker laying his equipment leaving just his cargo pants and shirt, he wore a simple jacket and left base before anyone can ask.

...


König walking in the hospital with loads of carts and chatter, wounded sick, old and much more.

A nurse at the counter notices him, she smile at him "right this way" he didn't even ask yet she knew.

"how is he" König utters following besides the nurse so much shorter than him, the nurse sigh "he's still well...for now, the life support is working fine to keep it together" 

Their feet stop at a certain door, besides the door was a sign Y/n.

Inside was a person that's basically König's everything, yet that everything is slipping silently. The nurse came to do some check up before leaving the two alone.

y/n who was staring out the window switch his attention to the giant standing near the doorway "are you not going to sit?" 

König pull a nearby chair sitting besides the bed, a gently hold t/n's hand that has a tub dig under his skin, his hands were like thin glass that can shatter any moment. In fact his whole body is.

"How did it go" a sore morbid voice

"tiring"

"a long story I see, tell me, I have enough time to hear" y/n smile so ever warm, another hand of his place on König's.

The two share their time, König telling the story of him wandering in forest, surviving 3 days before the rescue came, whilst being enemy territory.

Not once did y/n left his eyes on König, earlier he had this gloomy cloud above him, now he was talking passionately. The sick male was happy to see him like this, it eases him.

Halfway through the story, it was cut when y/n cough violently, he feels something warm on his palms, pulling away to focus it was his own blood.

His gaze moves to König who was terrified "I'm ok" he smiled weakly. König helped him clean the blood on his mouth and his hand.

"König"

The Austrian soldier look up. "that tree, is my life" y/n pointing a tree outside his window "every leaf gone is like my life source leaving me"

"don't make scary jokes like that" 

"I'm not" y/n felt König's hold tighten slightly, much he doesn't want him to see him like this, knowing it may affect him during battle he tried to lift his spirit.
