As the training session continued, König couldn't help but feel increasingly anxious and on edge around Ghost. Their gaze felt like it was constantly boring into his skin, filled with both distaste and lingering desire. It was obvious that they had never truly resolved their issues after their steamy encounters in the past few weeks.

During one of the drills where they had to clear out a building filled with dummy enemies, Ghost purposely knocked König down twice while pretending to fire blindly around him. Of course, this only infuriated König who yelled at Ghost for his recklessness before getting up and continuing on with the exercise.

The tension between them was palpable as they made their way outside for some target practice. As König lined up his shots, he couldn't help but notice Ghost constantly adjusting his stance and checking on him from the corner of his eye.

Meanwhile, feeling more confident by the day, Ghost decided to tease König even more. As König took aim at the targets, Ghost casually walked up behind him and whispered, "You know, you really should be more careful when you're holding that gun..." His breath tickling the hairs at the back of König's neck. He then snorted slightly before walking away nonchalantly, leaving the German teen shaken up by both his sudden presence and teasing remark.

Frustrated by Ghost's behavior, yet still unable to deny the effect he was having on him, König struggled to concentrate on the exercise as he felt conflicted emotions swirling inside him. He tried his best not to let it get to him but the more Ghost teased him like this, the more König felt powerless against his advances despite himself.

As the day went on, the tension between them only seemed to escalate during their time in the training area. Both were determined not to let their past friendship or current sexual encounters affect their performance; however, it was clear that they were constantly one-upping each other with their actions.

One morning, while everyone was preoccupied with their own personal routines or morning chores, Ghost found König alone in the mess hall where he typically ate his breakfast. He had hoped that some time away from everyone else would allow them to have a more private conversation without everyone staring at them; unfortunately for him though, it seemed like everyone else had similar ideas about getting some alone time during these early hours.

König watched as Ghost navigated through the throngs of people to finally make his way over to where König was sitting alone at a table.

With a smirk playing at the corner of his lips, Ghost sat down across from König, his eyes full of mischief as he casually flicked a crumb off his uniform before leaning forward, resting his arms on the table. His voice was low and deliberate as he addressed his teammate directly, "You know, I've been meaning to ask you something." König's heart skipped a beat at the mention of their 'friendship'; he steeled himself against the barrage of comments sure to come. Instead, however, Ghost surprised him by reaching over to the breakfast tray in front of him and helping himself to a piece of toast. "You shouldn't have given me this much breakfast; it's making me tired," König said flatly with a hint of annoyance in his voice

König chuckled dryly at Ghost's remark before taking a bite of his own food. He knew that Ghost was always playing mind games with him, but he couldn't help but feel the tension building up inside him whenever they were in close proximity. The German teen took a sip of his orange juice and studied his teammate across the table. Despite their current volatile relationship, he found it hard not to admire Ghost's confidence and charm. They trained together every day, pushing each other to be better soldiers, but lately, things had become more complicated than just training partners.
Suddenly, Ghost leaned in close, so close that König could feel his warm breath on his cheek. His heart raced as he tried not to be affected by Ghost's proximity.
Ghost laughed softly, his eyes dancing with amusement. "Oh come on, lighten up a bit," he teased, nudging König playfully with his elbow. "Besides, you know how much I love eating your food."
