Redemption - Konig x Reader

thirty

He was coming over.
It was strange. And it all happened so fast.

It felt surreal, maybe not even real. Like with everything else i've done recently, i started second guessing myself. Is this some weird dream and im gonna wake up soon? Am i hallucinating off of my pills-?

But- no. It wasn't. The text from him confirming my address made it all real. He would be here soon, his next text said. Fuck.

I let out a breathy sigh, swiping two fingers under neath my eyes before hastily getting up. I rubbed at my head, looking around to decide what my next course of action was. Thinking on it, i couldn't have been more than twenty minutes away, and with how late it was- the roads would be mostly clear. I didn't have long, so i managed to stumble over to my closet and pull something out. A simple pair of slim wide leg sweats, a nice heather gray, with a sweater. A dark blue one. When i had reached for it, i almost chose a purple one next to it. But then i remembered, i had worn that in the hospital, and then decided on the blue.

I quickly changed into it, stuffing my other clothes into my closet before shutting the doors on it. No one had to know. Then i rushed into the bathroom down the hall, taking a look over in the mirror. I looked fine from the neck down, but my face was puffy and my hair rather frizzy. I ran a hand through a strand, thinking back on how i tended to look like this when around him. Nothing he hadn't seen before, right?

No, i didn't want that again, move on. I dropped my hand from my head and instead turned the sink on, splashing my face with some cool water, dabbing my skin dry with a towel on the counter. I rubbed at the bags under my eyes, a purple brown shade that never seemed to go away despite my days full of rest. I smoothed over my eyebrows before grabbing a comb and running it through my hair, getting out a few kinks and doing my best to maintain the frizz. I didn't have many products with me, so i had to rely on my hair choosing to comply, and it wasn't right now.

I looked okay. It was the best i could for right now.

I smoothed over my clothes, flattening out the collar of my sweater, before leaving the bathroom. I looked around my apartment, throwing the blanket that was on the floor over the arm chair, fixing the curtains that were uneven- but then a knock at the door.

I froze. My hands were still clutching the curtains  when i realized what it was. A knock. He was here.

It could only be him, who else would knock at my door at this hour. I was safe, no one knew where i was. It could only be him.

I let go of the curtain, my eyes dancing behind me and over the apartment before landing on the door. It couldn't have been more than ten minutes since we had texted, yet he was here. I suppose it made sense it wouldn't take long, i guess i didn't know the city too well.

My heart began to beat fast as i started to walk, heading towards the door now. My apartment was small, the door just a hallway from the kitchen. I managed to kick a shoe or two out from the middle of the floor, back against the wall or leaning on the shoe rack it was supposed to be on. Organized, much?  I let out a deep breath, the door now infront of me. He was behind it, and right now i was pushing everything behind me. I would come back to it later, decide my real feelings and if everything i had done so far were bad decisions- that would then fade into past regrets. This could be another one of those decisions, but right now i just felt like i needed someone.

And in a way, he was all that i had right now.

filler as i try to figure out writers block
