Pairing: Kƶnig x reader
Plot: Someone breaks into the house at night while you and Kƶnig are sleeping.
A/N: Had a random idea about what would happen in this scenario.
āThe Break in.ā
Over three break-ins had happened over the weekend. All unfortunately 4 blocks away from your apartment. Break-ins didnāt scare you. You felt like your apartment complex was in better condition than most of the apartments surrounding the neighborhood. In addition to that, you werenāt too concerned because you were tucked away for the weekend with Kƶnig.
You didnāt think a person who saw him would even attempt to do something, especially at his own house.
Kƶnig, on the other hand, was worried sick.
āMaybe you could stay here for a couple more days. It wouldnāt be a bother, honest.ā
You didnāt like the sound of it. Breaking into his routine which he then would be uncomfortable with. You knew how he liked his space. He needed a couple days to recharge, be with himself, and then come back to you.
You remember how antsy he got when you overstayed your welcome one weekend. He kept finding excuses to be alone.
āIām going to read in my office. Iāll be back in about an hour.ā
āIām going to the gym for a workout. I'll be back soon.ā
āI know you want to finish your show, Iāll be watching the game in my bedroom.ā
It wasnāt until you were getting the shower that he had crept up and asked shyly if you needed company.
You laughed.
āOh now you want my company?ā
He traced his finger along the bathroom counter looking down.
āI never said I didnāt want your company, we just always shower together.ā
So you knew keeping yourself here would only have him finding excuses in his own house to find privacy.
Kƶnig would deny this. He loved your company, he loved waking up next to you with your legs on top of his. Seeing your toothbrush next to his on the counter. He loved seeing your products lined up on the bathroom shelf next to his. Your clothes piled on his dresser, your bras hanging on the doorknobs in his bathroom, or scattered around the floor after hastily getting to devour each other in bed. Small little pieces of you throughout the house reminding him you were home.
Sure he liked his space, but it wasnāt anything he couldnāt distance himself from another room for him to recharge and come back to you.
He was adjusting rapidly to you being around him all the time. He wanted you around all the time.
Which is why he wanted you to stay here, in a house, where someone could protect you.
*
Kƶnig never told you the missions he was on. You sort of preferred that way. He would just tell you the gist of the mission. He was very careful about not scaring you away with what his real job was. He was good at what he did, but he preferred to keep what he was out on the field away from you.
Calmly, while watching you, he gave you just enough to not try and scare you.
āIt was a room of about 15 people. I was first one in.ā
You stared at him. You knew he was hiding the real him. āMercenaryā was the word he used, however he never described the things a mercenary did.
There was nothing scarier knowing Kƶnig was a shark at sea but there could be a bigger fish that would one day end it.
Part of you was glad he could protect you and himself from anyone and anything given his training and ruthless alter ego out on the field, but another part of you was worried someone out there would be quicker or one step ahead of him.

You packed your overnight bag with your dirty clothes.
āWhere are you going?ā He stepped out of the bathroom watching you collect your clothes.
āHome, I have a lot of work to catch up on and do laundry.ā
āOkay we bring your laptop back here and we can start a load of colors here.ā He replied so casually.
You laughed.
āAlthough that is tempting, itās fine. Iāll be back this weekend.ā
He didnāt like hearing that.
āBaby please, you know how dangerous it is around where you live right now. Just stay one more night. Iāll go pick up your laptop and āā
You cut him off:
āIt was 4 blocks away, Kƶnig. It wasnāt even my apartment. I know Iāll be safe.ā
āWell I donāt care if it was in another town, I donāt like the idea of you staying alone when someone is out there like that.ā
You turned to him, raising an eyebrow.
āYou donāt like the idea of someone robbing houses when your job is ten times scarier?ā
He leaned against the bathroom doorway, raising his eyebrow at you.
āExactly. What if this guy is like me and heās out there attacking houses because he knows how to do it so well that heās not getting caught?ā
You rolled your eyes
āI'm sure a trained military man is out there robbing houses for fun.ā
āy/n!ā He stopped you. āThis is serious, would you want to run into me?ā
You smirked, stood up, and went over to him.
āYes I would actually, because I know your weaknesses.ā
You gently ran your fingers down his stomach.
āI would know how to take someone like you down so easily.ā You whispered.
You stood on your tip toes and kissed his chin.
He didnāt like the idea of you flirting when speaking about your life. With that, he took your bag and shoved it into the top shelf of the closet.
āYouāre staying here and that's final. Iām not going to risk anything.ā
He ended up taking you to your apartment, telling you to get extra clothes, your laptop, and anything else you needed. You settled back into his house again.
āAre you sure you donāt mind?ā You asked one last time.
āOf course not. I can never have enough of you.ā
*
You both had dinner, showered, and got in bed.
He pulled you against his chest and held you close.
āThank you for staying here. It gives me peace of mind. I enjoy your company.ā
You blushed, leaned in for a kiss, and mumbled āif itās not bother then okayā¦ā
You settled into the night routine you both had. He watched a show on his iPad, while you read through a book before both falling asleep.

It was around 3AM when you heard the speakers in the living room turn on. Your eyelids still closed, you searched for Kƶnig with one arm. An empty space in bed. You sat up, fear crawling up your throat.
Kƶnig was already up and placed himself by the doorframe, a bat in hand, mask covering his face, and shoes on.
Had someone come inside the house? Another crash, scratches on the floor, and some scrambling.
Kƶnig looked back at you, told you to stay put.
āDo. Not. Leave. This. Room.ā He said it low, his accent had come out. He looked at you, but you didnāt recognize this Kƶnig. He stood different, sounded different. You felt your stomach turn, the hair on your neck rise.
Where did he get the bat from?
Now you were scared. You werenāt ready to see this kind of person he was.
You heard his calculated footsteps as he checked the hallway bathroom and guest room, slamming open the doors so hard and loud they bounced against the walls. He continued to stomp all the way down towards where the sound was.
You suddenly felt safe, how thorough he was checking all the rooms and how bravely he went into each room announcing himself with just his body. You were now glad you stayed with him.
⦠then out of nowhere, you heard him laughing. A loud, boisterous, breathless laugh.
You shouted from the room āWho is it?!ā
You hear him drop the bat, the bat clinking on the floor. Footsteps followed closer to the door.
āNot who schatz, but what.ā His voice had come closer. Standing there, he was holding a small baby raccoon. The raccoon was being held up by his neck with one hand, and his other hand placed underneath him.
You screamed āāBecareful! We donāt know where itās been!ā
Kƶnig tilted his head at you and then mumbled āitās only Montyās baby.ā
Monty?
Kƶnig went to the backyard and placed the small raccoon outside. He came back into the house, washed his hands, and walked into the room.
What just happened?
āWhat was that?!ā You were confused, at a loss for words.
He settled himself back into bed and pulled you close.
āMonty is the raccoon that lives in the backyard. She had babies.ā
You looked up at him still confused.
āAll this time youāve been staying here and you havenāt seen Monty and her family?ā He asked innocently.
āIāll tell you all about them.ā He turned the light off.
What was happening? Was this a dream?
Part of you was still confused but you settled in and relaxed anyway. The other part of you was secretly relieved that because of him, you felt safe enough to go back to sleep.
Awwwww the ending was so cute šš ļæ¼
