As the soft glow of the room enveloped them, Y/N looked up at König with a playful sparkle in her eyes. "Say something in German for me," she said, her voice light and teasing, but there was an undercurrent of sincerity that caught his attention.
König paused, the weight of her request settling in. He thought for a moment, contemplating how to respond. This was his chance—a fleeting moment where he could admit his feelings without the fear of her understanding every word. After all, she didn't know German, and this could be his way of laying bare his heart without any immediate consequences.
Taking a deep breath, he decided to let his guard down. "Okay," he said softly, his heart pounding. "I'll say something."
Y/N's eyes widened in anticipation, a small smile gracing her lips as she settled back against her pillows. "I'm ready!"
König looked deep into her eyes, feeling a rush of emotion wash over him. "Y/N," he began, the words flowing from him like a confession, "ich habe seid langer Zeit Gefühle für dich . Du bist das Licht in meiner dunklen Welt. Ich bewundere deine Stärke und deinen Mut. Ich wünsche mir, dass du das siehst."
(I've had feelings for you for some time now. You are the light in my drak world. I admire your strength and courage. I wish you could see that.)
He paused, letting the weight of his words sink in. He was pouring out his heart, revealing everything he felt in the safety of a language she didn't understand. "Wenn ich in deiner Nähe bin, fühle ich mich lebendig. Ich möchte mehr Zeit mit dir verbringen, aber ich weiß nicht, wie du über mich denkst."
(When I'm close to you, I feel alive. I want to spend more time with you, but i'm not sure how you feel about me."
The vulnerability of his admission was both terrifying and liberating. He continued, "Ich würde alles für dich tun, Y/N. Du bist was ganz besonderes, und ich kann nicht aufhören, an dich zu denken. Wenn du wüsstest, wie sehr du mein Herz berührst."
(I would do anything for you, Y/N. You are very special and I can't stop thinking about you. If you only knew how much you've touched my heart."
As he spoke, he could see Y/N's expression shifting, a mixture of curiosity and confusion flickering across her face. "What does that mean?" she asked, her brows knitting together slightly as she tilted her head.
König chuckled softly, shaking his head. "Oh, just some poetic nonsense," he replied, deflecting. He didn't want to break the spell of the moment by revealing the depth of his feelings just yet.
"Poetic nonsense?" she repeated, a teasing lilt to her voice. "You have to give me something more than that!"
"Okay, okay," he relented, trying to keep the mood light. "I said you're strong and brave, and you make my world brighter."
Y/N's eyes sparkled with delight, and he could see that his words, however vague, resonated with her. "Aww, that's sweet!" she gushed, her smile lighting up the room. "You should say that more often."
König's heart swelled at her reaction, and he felt a mixture of relief and longing. "Maybe I will, Liebling." he promised, hoping that one day he could tell her everything he felt in a way that she truly understood.
As Y/N settled back against her pillows, a sleepy smile still on her face, he felt the warmth of her presence wash over him. He knew that this moment, however brief, had shifted something fundamental between them. With every word he had spoken, he had laid the groundwork for something deeper, something more meaningful.
And though she might not have understood the exact words he had said, he hoped she could feel the truth behind them.
