The gym air hung heavy with the scent of iron and exertion. König, a towering silhouette of muscle and shadow, lay on the bench press, his hooded head bowed. Sweat glistened on his neck as he lowered the bar with a grunt. The camera pans to you, hovering nearby, heart hammering against ribs. For years, this proximity had been a secret sanctuary. As you approached, the giant soldier looked up, his light blue eyes piercing through the darkness of his mask. "Give me the towel, süß," he rasped, his German accent thick. In a move that defied his usual stoicism, you straddled his hips, handing over the cloth. The tension in the room spiked—not from danger, but from the unspoken truth hanging between them: his gaze lingered, betraying a love he had kept hidden for far too long.
