König getting dizzy with worry when you shrug off not having water all day. he feels a sympathy pang in his stomach when you also tell him you’ve just been snacking all day because you didn’t feel like making proper food. his poor Maus must feel so weak! he’s whipping up a hearty meal that’s much too big for you to stomach. makes a portion that’d feed him twice over, all proteins, carbs, and whatever fruit or vegetables you’ll eat. it’s almost obnoxious how he keeps filling your water glass because, “Ach, you can’t get dehydrated!”
ohh my god the tummy ache that would follow this would be abysmal. Come my beloved, let us talk about it✨🙂↕️
“You did this to meee,” you whine accusingly, hands laced over your stomach as you hiccup again and again. “You—hic—can’t possibly believe I can finish this. So full…help me.” God, he could implode with the sheer amount of love he feels for you right now. König always seems to fall in love all over again at the oddest of moments, like now for example, looking so smitten at the sight of you frowning because you ‘happened’ to overindulge. Totally not his fault. König doesn’t seem like he has an ounce of regret in his bones, as long as you’re happy, fed and well hydrated, he can handle your hiccuping complaints because he made you stuff your face.
Do you have any earthly idea how often and how hard he shook his head every time you mentioned ‘Girl Dinner’? Too many, now this is what you get.
He carries you over to the couch, practically skipped for joy and moved the rest of the food to the coffee table while you fell into a well earned food coma. He props your head on his chest and goes to town, a smile graces your lips, mind foggy with the steady rhythm of his heart and breathing, you remain blissfully asleep while your dork of a boyfriend happily chows down and watches TV.

i can totally imagine, on mornings where konig has to be productive but the missus doesnt want him to, he just goes about doing his things with her on his hip while she sleeps
mmm, lethargy… diagnosed with chronic eepy
König wakes up at the ssa crack of dawn, absolutely no surprise there. He’s an early bird who gets the worm, you on the other hand, well, you don’t give a flying… Sleep is the most important thing to you, followed by König. Combine the two and you’re in heaven. So when the bedsheets rustle in the morning and he begins to stir, it’s normal that you don’t budge.
Now as much as your boyfriend would love to stay in bed and lay with you all day, he gets antsy. Has to commit to his morning routine or else, he fears he might lose it. He’ll try at first to get you to wake up, whisper all softly in your ear, “Hallo, mein Schatz…it’s morning.” He’ll brush his lips against your temple, “Time to get up.” But some mornings, you’re just not feeling it. And he can’t fault you for that, so carefully, he’ll scoop you in his arms and go about his day.
First, he’ll go to the bathroom alone, then comes back to fetch you. While he can’t prop you on his hip for long, he’ll opt for carrying you some other way like wrapping your legs around his middle and letting you rest your weary head on his shoulder. He uses your blanket to secure you to his chest so you don’t fall. He can support you with one arm while he does his tasks one handed. It takes skill but he manages.
Your favourite thing is waking up to the smell and sound of something cooking on the stove, the sizzling and cracking of fried eggs, the warmth from the stove and König gently humming a tune while he subconsciously bounces you and cooks. “Ah, are you awake finally?” Without opening your eyes, he doubts you can in this state anyway, you lift your head up. König sets aside the spatula and raises his hand to come smooth the baby hairs out of your face. “There you are, my love… I missed you.” He kisses your eyelids and your nose, “Come now, open those pretty eyes. I made breakfast.”
HIII! I have been obsessed over Konig, specifically loser!konig, lately and literally five minutes ago Machiveli (if you dont know who they are, they write loser!knonig and im obsessed with that so- and you are the last person who talked about loser konig) deleted her account(i think) so now we have half of loser!konig works, could you do more? plz? if you want i can write something in return.
yes, yes! i’ll take any opportunity to write some Loser!König 😌🤲 your wishes are my humble command
cw: fluff. man flu, the horror
Loser!König who becomes the biggest baby at the event of a cold, trust that if there’s the slightest hint of a tickle in his throat, he’s pulling all the stops, the man is shameless and utterly desperate for your loving attention. “Schatz,” he calls out weakly, chest rising and falling with effort, baby blues screwed shut to avoid the light. “I’m dying, mein Schatz…” his mouth feels dry and there is a steady throbbing at the base of his skull, he looks absolutely miserable. “Could you please check my temperature?” Not with the thermometer, no, but the way his Mutti used to, lips pressed to his forehead and preferably, while petting his hair. You oblige, König feels blissful for about three seconds. “Meh, warm,” you mumble, pulling away much too soon for his taste. His brows bunch together and he’s whimpering from the loss of your lips, how could you be so cruel? “That- that’s it?” He sputters. “Please come back,” he rolls from his side of the bed onto yours and immediately goes for your neck, wiping his runny snot all over your shirt, arms like steel around your waist so you don’t pull away even more. “Don’t leave me to my devices,” he sniffs and coughs, purposely talking through his nose to sound more nasally. “Please, can’t you hear that? My nose is all stuffy, see? I need you…”
Loser!König who you have to gently coax into letting you go. He doesn’t listen. “C’mon, König-” You huff, exasperated, but there’s no real bite to your words, he knows this, you can’t get mad at him no matter how much you try and he takes full advantage of it. Big, scarred arms locked around your body, pulling you flush against his own, he’s almost like a Venus fly trap, the more you struggle the stronger the hold. “I need to get your cough medicine from the store,” you strain, “König-” “Nein!” Dear God. “I don’t want this! I want you, Schatzi, you’re my only medicine…” Soon enough his uncomfortable temperature sky rockets into a full blown fever, when his hair is slick against his skin and he’s complaining about the room being too bright, you sigh, “Can I go to the store now?” He concedes, boy does he ever sound pitiful now, “Yes…please.”
Loser!König who has nothing better to do than count down the minutes until you come back, if he had the strength he’d wait for you at the door. He sits in bed, mourning all the times he took his good health for granted. You made him promise to stay put while you’re gone, knowing him and his legendary stubbornness, he’ll probably try to do something on his own, actively disregarding his whopping 103.7°F fever.
Loser!König who you find knocked out by the time you return. The sight of him clutching the blanket so tightly even in his sleep makes your chest ache, your poor angel. König looks even more uncomfortable than when you left, tiptoeing over to the bed, his eyes flutter open from the feel of your breath on his forehead, “Just checking,” you whisper. “You’re burning up, my love…” He whimpers when you slide into bed beside him, guiding his head to rest over your steady heartbeat with one hand while the other unscrews the cap off the medicine bottle. “For the cough,” you explain, “I also got you some antibiotics, please don’t fuss and take them.” He tries not to look offended but König wears his emotions on his face, it’s adorable, “Don’t frown, my love.” He takes the bitter medicine in one disgusting gulp and quickly reaches for the water, downing the wrinkled plastic bottle in one go. After the antibiotics too and a cold cloth laid over his head, he’s out like a light and drooling in your arms, looking a little better than before.
God, he’s a lot of work, but you don’t mind. He’s your loser.
omnomnom beloved macharoon @machveil, had you in mind while writing this✨ and for my run of the mill, regular degular König enjoyers, hope you enjoyed as well 🙂↕️🤲
Heyyy I don’t know if you have anything you don’t like writing about so don’t respond or just delete this but like…what if firefighter!Konig saw chubby!reader headed into her apartment and was like AWOOGA eyes 😍 at her and told Horangi (his notoriously god awful wing-man) and he started the fire at readers apartment. Just texted him to have his number written down on a piece of paper with his name on it. lol
click fireman!könig x chubby!reader i meann, it’s not NSFW…i’m game 👀👌👀👌👌
If life chose a different path for König and he became a firefighter rather than a military man, this is how things would go. Absolutely nothing would change, he’d still be the bullied child who yearns for total authority, who despite his crippling anxiety, rose up to a respectable position all on his own. Good on him. He is still socially awkward and quite frankly, just too much of a nervous wreck to execute anything outside of his job. That’s where Kim Hong-Jin somehow manages to fit in the picture, where would the sad, wet napkin of a man be without the devil on his shoulder. His friend is always going be there to give him that extra push.
Fireman!König who spots you one sunny day roaming around the local farmers market, a full grocery basket on your arm and in a beautiful sundress. You’re breathtaking. He kinda stood there in the middle of the road like an idiot before someone bumped into him, “Excuse me,” and König felt absolutely mortified. “I’m really sorry- let me just- yeah- so sorry.” He steps out of the way, stopping himself from blurting out another “Sorry.” by biting on his tongue. Honest mistake. But you’ve disappeared into the crowd by the time he lifts his head and König curses himself for losing sight of you. He can’t let you slip away.
Fireman!König who, well, he’s not proud of it, but who uses his imposing stature and powerful shoulders to gently make his way through the sea of people…he didn’t shove anybody! Just lightly encouraged them to take a different direction. When he finally finds you, he doesn’t know what to do. Does he walk up to you, tap you on the shoulder and introduce himself out of the blue? No, nonsense…that would never work, hell like that would ever happen. Look at you, he thinks pitifully, and look at him, never in a million years. He needs a plan. Something to woo you into ever thinking you’d want to date a guy like him. So he follows you, discreetly, weaving this time through the crowd, being extra careful not to catch anybody’s attention, especially not yours. Not yet.
Fireman!König who watches from not too far, crosses the streets you’ve crossed, lingering behind like a ghost until you reach your apartment. He doesn’t know anything about you, why is he doing this? He suddenly has half a mind to turn around and pretend this never happened, but then he spots the glow in your apartment from the lights in the kitchen, the living room… sees a plant or two through the window, pictures himself coming home to you after a long day, ducking under the doorframe only to surprise you with another. A begonia, maybe. His chest aches at the thought, would you smile and run up to him, arms laced around his neck while you kiss him senseless? Would you look up at him with adoring eyes, murmuring your thank you’s while your lips brushed against his? It dawns on him, it’s love at first sight. It has to be, it’s the only reason he can’t get you out of his head.
Fireman!König who almost gets dizzy with the idea of having you all to himself. He’ll get to experience the small things like drawing you a bath, make a beard out of bubbles and make silly faces just to hear you laugh. Pictures himself holding you in bed, strong arms wrapped tight around your waist, nose buried in the crook of your neck, murmuring a “Gut Nacht, Schatz,” before pressing his lips there for the softest kiss you could possibly imagine. He makes a mental note of the address and goes home. There is such a thing as a controlled fire…maybe he can manipulate the flames to his favour after all. It’s a small fire underneath your apartment, right below your floor, he’s not trying to damage your home. Calls Kim and trusting that he doesn’t poke fun, spills all the details, from singling you out from the crowd to following you home, to wanting to play the hero and come rescue you from the flames. Kim thinks it’s ridiculous but then, would it really be him if he didn’t encourage this?
A steady sliver of smoke goes up, travels through the vents and into your room, where you’re peacefully asleep. You don’t notice the fire alarm blaring through the halls, or hear the chatter of your neighbours as they all rushed outside. Someone called the fire department and König got the call. Horangi must’ve done it, he thinks, slipping into his gear and climbing into the truck. What he didn’t anticipate was how big a fire it turned out to be and a bright orange began climbing up the walls. His heart sank. König quickly scanned the residents posted outside, some wearing oxygen masks, others standing further back but he doesn’t see you. He could kill Kim with his bare fucking hands, this wasn’t apart of the plan and you weren’t there. A worried looking young woman, who sees König’s imposing figure, steps up to him and taps him rather urgently on the shoulder, “Sir, sir my friend is still in there! Please! I didn’t see her leave.”
Fireman!König never regretted a decision so much in his entire life. Why couldn’t he just ask you out like a normal person, instead he put you right in the middle of danger just to pass off as your knight in shining armour! He bursts through the door, fire crackling everywhere, scorching the air. “Miss!” He bellows, “Miss, please! If you can hear my voice…” he suddenly trails off when a familiar window comes into view, that must mean your door is…
Fireman!König who breaks down your door, finding an unconscious you on the bed, all curled up and unassuming. He tries to shake you awake, even tapped you on the cheek a few frantic times. “Miss, miss! Oh, Gott, please be okay…” he doesn’t wait for you to wake before he’s scooping you in his arms. It’s around that same time you sense someone moving you, in your haze you mumble out, “Hey…do I weigh anything to you, big guy?” König huffs and responds by adjusting his grip on you, holding you more securely. You nuzzle into his neck and inhale his scent, probably delirious from the smoke, König starts to feel hot under the suit and it’s not because of the fire.
Outside, you finally take a well deserved breath of fresh air, König carried you to where the oxygen masks are and pressed one to your mouth himself. “Deep breath,” you comply. “Gut. Another one.” Once he’s sure you’re okay, König had to physically restrain himself from leaning down and pressing his lips to your head. He can’t bear to touch you now, he feels too guilty. Instead he leaves you with your visibly worried neighbours and returns to his squad. Gets utterly confused that same night when he receives a text, saying “Thank you for saving me,” followed by a heart and a kiss. You then text him that you’re staying at a friend’s house and that your insurance covered all the damage and personal items lost in the fire and that you’d like to see him again soon, to thank him properly, of course. But he never…gave you his number… Horangi! He swiftly calls his partner, furious, every ring dug under his skin until the call finally went through. “Couldn’t you have made a smaller fire?” He sneers, voice harsh like gravel, a low growl followed when all he heard was a mean cackle on the other side of the line.
“Aw, c’mon pal. You secured a date, no? Be happy, you’re finally getting laid!” Click.
He hung up on him, he actually hung up on him. Ouh, König’s gonna kill him.
metalhead!könig brings you to a Lamb of God concert for a first 'date' and opens up about a past experience
cw: brief mention of an overdose - pt. I
this obviously wasn’t König’s first rodeo, he seemed pretty prepared for this thing and had no qualms showing the many contents in his bag at the security checkpoint before going in.
“You sure are… stocked.” you comment. he gives you a melancholic smile, one that hides a story. within a minute, you start to feel your stomach squeeze, thinking maybe you should’ve kept your mouth shut.
you walk around a bit more, weaving through the people trying to find a nice spot to settle somewhere since it was a concert being held outdoors. “What else is in the bag?” König hums, he is more than happy to show you.
“Ah, well, I have a few snacks in case the kids get hungry,” he refers to the baby metalheads, “bottles of water, some extra earplugs and narcan,” admittedly, the last response makes you flinch a bit.
when a beat or two of silence goes by, you hear a quiet sigh from above. you find that König chooses his words carefully and likes to takes his time speaking. he goes on to explain that some years back, sometime in his very early twenties, between the blur of booze and drugs and not knowing the body’s limits, his best friend overdosed at a concert. if it wasn’t for the older gentleman pushing past the crowd, yelling at everyone to clear a path and administered the kid with narcan, he wouldn’t have survived long enough to be taken to a hospital. König came ill prepared and the memory weighs heavy on his heart till this day.
you gave a sympathetic smile. “I’m so sorry.” but he shakes his head and leans over, surprising you by nuzzling his forehead against yours, “It’s okay.” he murmurs.
[x]
the concert was a blast, of course the band skipped a few amazing, nicher songs you’d hoped they would play but overall, it was fun.
he held you on his shoulders so you could get a better view, despite your many protests to be put the hell down. “Live a little!” he shouts over the crowd, you roll your eyes but do as he said and ‘lived a little’. he was right, from this height you got amazing shots and videos that you will definitely post on instagram later. the view from above certainly beat staring at somebody’s back for the entirety of the concert and it was an upgrade to being shoved around like a ragdoll. you tried your best to ignore how warm his hands are and how his blunt nails dug into the plushness of your thighs, trying to keep you steady. at the end of the show, the drummer launched his drumsticks at the crowd and without thinking, eyes on the prize, König abruptly puts you down and caught the two sticks. he’s usually the one to catch them, given his height. he’s gotten booed a couple times before because of that. but everyone kept their mouths shut right as König pulled you closer and pressed an apologetic kiss to your head, pressing his prize into your palm. “Für dich, Fräulein.” he rasped, sending tingles down your spine.
you both got hungry after your little outing—date?maybe it was a date the way he held you during your walk by the waist to the nearest, greasiest fast food restaurant. you didn’t mind, his leather jacket smelled like him, so oddly comforting you thought, a bit ashy from the cigarettes but sharp and fresh from the cologne. lavender, mint and something woodsy? lightly sweet. you stuff your faces and forget the time, when you both stumble outside, tummies full, it was already dark.
all tuckered out, you fall asleep on the drive home. König didn’t mind, he remembered your address from when he picked you up. “Sie schläfst ja wie ein Engel…” he thinks. She sleeps like an angel…
if he had a bit more courage, he would stay for the night. even if you did insist on him staying, König refused. he touches foreheads with you and without opening his eyes, he whispers at you to get your butt inside. his heart slightly aches when you pout but he doesn’t relent, maybe next time. he turns to leave only when you reached your door safely and disappeared behind it and when he was certain you couldn’t see him, König blows a kiss into the open air. he walks back to his car with a quiet hope that you’ll want to hang out with him again.

König would totally ask his wife if she'd still love him if he suddenly became a worm.
🥹 oh what the fuck, that’s cute
the weight of the world sat heavy on his shoulders, his body begging for a minute of rest. the colonel sat down with a heavy grunt, acknowledging the exhaustion pulsing through his bones instead of ignoring it. it was finally over, the mission was done.
he allowed his head to fall back with a thud, glancing at the last of his men as they hurried onto the helicopter that would take them back to their base.
back home.
half an hour into the flight, he couldn’t take the throbbing pain anymore. he ripped off his glove with his teeth, hissing out a curse or two.
his finger was broken and the men could hear König mutter under his breath, "fucking great." subconsciously, one leaned forward to get a better listen. "another thing to worry about."
they caught glimpse of a golden wedding band shining around said broken finger, he was married. that’s news to them. König hardly talked about his personal life, so naturally this came as a surprise. they always wondered, what their leader was like at home. was he terrifying, cold and demanding like they know him to be, or was he simply never there, jumping from one life threatening op to the next?
but they were too afraid to ask. that’s how rumours start. König pretended not to hear them, trying to not let it get to him.
because he knew, deep down, that the only person who ever bothered to get know the real him, warts and all, was you.
his beloved wife, his life, his everything. won’t you put up with his ridiculous questions?
a week following the mission, the husband in question lay on top of you after successfully pinning you down, again. it was your idea to play wrestle with a giant. limbs entangled and out of breath, he asks, “Schatz?”
“Hmm?” you muster out, “What is it?”
there is a long pause, you brace yourself for a serious question, but out comes this banger. “Would you still love me if I was a worm?”
“Oh, my God…” you groan.
he stifles a giggle, “Or would you stab me through a hook and go fishing with my body?”
“Uncle!” you declare. “Uncle, uncle, uncle, I give up, you win! Get off me.” you tried shoving him off, but what are the chances of you succeeding? König knows this, and only tightens his hold on you, peppering your head in kisses.
“Would you,” he starts, “still love me,” another kiss, “if I was a worm?” and another. “I need an answer please.”
you look so fed up and that causes König to burst into a fit of laughter, hearty and tender. you can’t stay annoyed at him. he’s sheepish about it too, hiding his giggles in the crook of your neck like he knows he’s not supposed to bug, but gets away with it regardless.
“If you suddenly become a worm,” you start slow, “I would have to purchase a terrarium for you, wouldn’t I? With your favourite dirt, some plants and I’ll keep it nice and humid for you.”
König looks down at you with adoring eyes, smoothing your hair back he presses his lips to your forehead, “you would take care of me, wouldn’t you?”
“Always,” you murmur before your lips meet. “Now, what kind of worm?”
and that’s how you willingly opened up a Pandora’s box and unleashed a 35 min convo about the different species of worm and their natural habitat.
Have you not seen Simon Riley lol. Like look at that man and tell me if he was given the chance he wouldn't be a dramatic and theatric emo kid who does props for his local theater 😂
PLEASE 😩
his daughter is his ride or die, partners in crime (sorry johnny, he’s found your replacement) and the minute your baby figures out what’s been poking her so bad and the tears start making an appearance, he’s right behind her with equally misty eyes. now you have two babies crying over vaccine shots. if he hears you laugh he’ll mumble out a halfhearted, "Fack off," while swiping a single tear away. Simon sniffs and huffs like he had a bullet dug out of his thigh, adjusting your daughter in his lap, "S’alright, baby girl… worse is ova', yeah? Good, stiffen tha' bottom lip up."
he’ll be at your daughter’s recital, big hunk of a man in a frilly pink tutu with a star wand, giving death glares to fathers with fragile insecurities and you know he’s getting a kick out of shutting them up with just a glance. that is Simon Riley, your baby’s n°1 cheerleader, especially when costumes are involved
and for Halloween? please. that’s Batman and his tiny Robin, the big bad wolf and red robin hood, the mandalorian and his baby grogu
ohh mein Gott how old is this ask, i had to blow all the dust off…
cw: fluff. drinking - it’s Oktoberfest! 🍻
“Beer tents?”
“Yes, beer tents,” König confirms, amused by your peaking curiosity, knowing full well you have a soft spot for an ice cold beer, especially after the week you’ve had. “They’re large tents set up for different breweries. Each one serves only their own beer. People dress up, sing and dance… it’s quite the attraction.” He pauses, thinking what else to add in order to convince you into going to Munich with him. “They even have bands there, music galore.”
“And the food?”
König’s eyes crinkle at your sudden interest for the cuisine. “The food is incredible. Sausages, pretzels, roast chicken, potatoes… all kinds of traditional dishes. And of course, lots and lots of beer...” he trails off, noticing your distracted expression. “If you come with me, you'll get to see me in Lederhosen.”
You turn away from your work, “You are not wearing that….”
“Oh, I absolutely am,” König laughs heartily, enjoying your horrified expression. You shudder and return to whatever it was you were typing on the computer. “Just to see the look on your face? But don't worry,” he adds with a grin, “I promise not to make you wear a Dirndl.”
Imagining yourself in that frilly dress made you shudder again, “Oh good God, my love…”
König snickers, “Was? You don’t think we’d look good in that?” He waits for a reaction, baby blues brimming with mischief. “You know, meine Schatz, if you’re lucky, I might even do a little Jodler for you.”
You whirl around to face him, “You are not yodelling!” There’s the reaction.
“As lovely as it all sounds,” you sigh out, “I don’t have the money for a ticket to Germany now.” Without missing a beat, your partner goes, “I can pay for your ticket. I’ll pay for the whole trip.”
Before you could open your mouth to protest such a generous offer, König’s grabbing onto your wrist and pulling you along with him. In his head, the plan is already set in motion and you do not have a say in it, at all.
“But the files!”
“Ach, I’ll get some rookie to finish them.”
That night, you find yourself on a plane to Munich. You watch as German speakers board the plane, talking excitedly in their native tongue. You hear "Oktoberfest" thrown around a lot. You’re nervous, not knowing what to expect, but those nerves quickly settle once you see König boarding the plane, looking annoyingly handsome in civilian clothes — and no uniform.
No mask either. It was… rather refreshing.
“König?” The giant turns around at the sound of his name. He sees you sitting there, looking slightly anxious and out of place. It was adorable to watch. He walks over to you, features softening at the sight of your serious face trying to sit ramrod straight like a soldier.
“At ease, Soldat. We’re on vacation, remember?” He murmurs, placing a soft peck to your hairline. “Scoot over.”
You diligently make place for the towering man. The plane levels off, engines roaring to life and the flight attendants on either side start their safety instructions in German.
“Achoo!” You exclaim.
“Gesundheit,” König responds immediately, reaching into his pocket. He pulls out a small packet of tissues, carefully unfolds one and hands it to you with a teasing smile, “First sign of travel sickness already?” He mocks gently.
“Maybe I’m just allergic to you motherfucker,” you nasally reply, tissue pressed to your nose as you blow into it and sniff, “…thank you.” You can hear him chuckling right before you felt his lips on your forehead, “You’re welcome, meine Taube.”
Hours into the flight, you’ve fallen asleep leaning against your partner’s shoulder after a glass of white wine. He’s been sitting still for hours, entertaining himself with a book and two beers. The cabin is dark, most passengers asleep or wearing headphones. As the plane begins its descent, König gently shakes you, “We’re landing,” he whispers.
“No way…” you mumble, eyes closed, drool smeared all over your cheek, “five minutes…”
König couldn’t resist the smile forming on his lips at your sleepy resistance. He presses a kiss to the crown of your head before he tries coaxing you awake again. “Komm, meine Schöne. We’re already descending. You’ll sleep better once we’re on solid ground.”
“Okay…” you manage with a stifled yawn.
The airport is bustling with travelers, many yummy looking restaurants scattered about. You were getting hungry, but König promised they’d be food at the hotel. He interlaces his fingers with yours and weaves you through the crowd towards baggage claim.
“I hate the airport,” you spat out.
“I know, meine Liebling,” he murmurs, squeezing your hand reassuringly. “But we’re almost done. Just need to grab our bags and then we can get out of here.” He continues to guide you through the crowd efficiently, before you know it you’re out the door and with your things.
You’re even surprised by how quickly he managed to grab a taxi.
What an efficient man.
The festival itself bustles with life, neither of you know where to start. Eventually, König’s eyes land on a mouth watering sausage stand. “I don’t know about you, Schatzi, but I’m going there.”
“But I don’t eat pork,” you whine. König points to a pretzel stall right beside where he’s going, “Don’t worry, they speak English too. Now shoo.”
Minutes later, you reunite with your partner. You observe with a jealous eye the pint of beer he’s happily chugging. “You didn’t get one for me?” König’s eyes nearly bulge out of their sockets. “Shit—sorry, Schatz.” He quickly turns around and stumbles back to where he came, “I’ll be right back, okay?” He calls over his shoulder. “Just stay right there!”
“What a fuckin’ puppy,” you mutter to yourself, biting into your freshly made pretzel. It’s so buttery and warm… and huge. You might need König’s help finishing this thing.
After visiting about three, four tents now, König finally finds a beer he does not like. His nose scrunches and his eyes squeeze shut. What comes out of you is a mix between a laugh and a sympathetic wince, “No good?”
He carefully sets the heavy glass pint aside, “Nein. Not very good,” he echoes, “tastes like cat piss. You want to try?”
“No!” you almost jumped out of the way, “No, I’ll take your word for it baby.”
He lost you for a bit, eventually spotting you next to a cozy looking stall, holding a freshly baked potato in one hand and another pint in the other.
“How many of those did you have, Schatz?”
“Beer or this?” You say biting into the soft, salty treat. König chuckles fondly, “Both.”
He holds onto your loaded potato when you say “Hold this for me,” not even two seconds later he’s biting into it. You supposed that is what they call ‘boyfriend tax’. König observes with a curious eye when you start counting on your fingers.
“One…two…three… another one back there… about five beers?” You hiccup. He might’ve fell for you all over again after hearing you say that.
He’s on his seventh.
“I want something sweet… I really want to try those chocolate drizzled pretzels over there…” König sees you drooling and follows your gaze to the stall just over there. He’s already planning when to renew his vows.
“Let’s go, then.” Grabbing ahold of your hand and finishing your previous snack in a few bites, König leads you to your next destination. His words come out muffled but not any less enthusiastic as he tries speaking around the morsels of hot potato. “I want one, too.”
You haven’t an earthly idea where he stores all that food—poof. gone. Where are they? In his stomach. The only magic trick he’s proud of knowing.
All in all, you were hoping this Oktoberfest would send your boyfriend into a food coma. You’re glad though that he’s having fun.
