The Medic

Good morning

Right after I had gladly eaten all the pancakes Noah had made me I felt the next wave of tiredness wash over me.

I sat at the counter and listened to them talking while my eyes felt heavier with every moment.

Until I felt Königs big hands on my shoulders.
He gently rubbed them.

„You should sleep, Maus"

he said while leaning down to me.

„Oh it's ok"

I mumbled with tired eyes.
Clara laughed slightly.

„Oh girl you need sleep. Tomorrow is another day.
We have a lot planned so go and sleep"

I looked up to König with big eyes.

„But I don't wanna sleep"

„No discussions"

he said and simply picked me up over his shoulder and started carrying me upstairs.

„See you don't even fight back. You're so tired"

he chuckled.

„Shut up"

I said defeated.

As soon as I hit the bed I was dead asleep.
Of course he was right.
I was really tired.

And I slept deep until the next morning.

I woke up just to find myself in his arms.
In the same firm grip as always.

I took a deep breath.
I had to remind me that this was kind of real.
This was happening.
Even when it maybe wasn't honest.
But was it just a play?
I wasn't sure anymore.

I squirmed out of his grip.
He was dead asleep.
I thought not even an airstrike would have been able to wake him up.

I shook my head smiling and went to take a shower.

This shower felt like heaven.

It washed my tiredness completely away.

I wrapped myself in a big towel and walked back into the bedroom.
I hadn't heard any noise so I assumed König was still sleeping.

I was wrong.

He was sitting on the bed scrolling through his phone.
As I walked out the bathroom door he looked up with an amused smile.

I froze for a second but then smiled slightly.

„Morning"

„Good morning, Maus. Have to say I could get used to waking up to this"

He said grinning and eyed me up and down.
I raised my eyebrows and scoffed.

„You wish"

I grabbed some clothes and disappeared again in the bathroom.

„Ohhhh I thought I get a show now"

he chuckled disappointed.

„In your dreams"

I said through the door.

„Oh you're already in my dreams believe me"

I heard him.
I froze again.
God he can't just say things like that.
Was he for real or was he teasing me?

I shook my head and got dressed.

As I walked back out I saw König standing there in just his boxershorts.
I got bright red and turned around.
