#kingheel

@almaspasta proposed the shipname kingheel and I quite like it ngl so any new Stiletto/König art shall be posted with that tag for anyone interested, definitely planning on more and especially have plans for a few digital pieces 🤭

König is surprisingly the more emotionally Intelligent out of the two. He not good at expressing his emotions but he understands them.

Stiletto is completely oblivious when it comes to feelings. Usually könig needs to spell things out for her, which works well enough for them, unless it's his feelings, poor man. This has led to a lot of misunderstandings.

Stiletto thinks König is cute, possibly the only person in KorTac to be able to find his tall, scary ass cute. She's a little fucked up, but that's why they work.

König on the other hand finds her scary, which is attractive to no end for him. Again, they're both a little fucked up, it works.

She's usually the more dominant between the two, loving to see him melt under her and become a blushing mess. He does however have his moments where he flips the script on her, using his size and voice to intimidate her. She loves when his voice gets scratchy and low, a teasing lilt to it that he only gets on the field.

They banter, a lot.

He does the true and tried mistake of mocking a short person for their height, not only that, he makes the mistake of mocking an Italian for their height. His shins are always some shade of purple, it's why he wears high combat boots or shin guards- rather than stop mocking her. She finds him infuriating, especially when he uses his height against her (she makes sure to ride him into unconsciousness when he gets particularly vexing)

They do have pet names for eachother! But they're strictly used in private or in bed. Sometimes he calls her "my queen" (He's a sap, and a cheeky one at that) which can either make her huff, or squirm (depending on how deep he is in her) she's much more of a traditional gal: "love, darling, beautiful" She will say sweet things in Italian to him, just to see his confused eyes and flushed cheeks. (While he does not understand the words he definitely understands the tone in which she's saying them).

König is the only one allowed to call her "Sal" He rarely uses her first name in full or last name. (He thinks they sound funny in his accent, she finds it cute.) He still hasn't shared his name with her, she never pressured him to.

König has read everyone's files, he was initially drawn to her because she was not "perfect" she was considered unsuited by her superiors because of her behaviour on the field, despite the results she brought back, he felt a kinship with that. That's how it started anyhow.

Stiletto, like most Italians, swears like a sailor (König finds it hot). For her it's just routine. The angrier she gets the less you will understand her curses, but trust the fact that you do not want to be in her path when she's angry.

While Stiletto is quick to jump the gun and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty, she's far more professional than König. (I hc her as older than him so perhaps that also comes with experience.) Her kills are brutal, but clean. Quick, efficient takedowns and a swift execution. (Though sometimes she let's her boyfriend influence her too much- standing execution *cough* *cough* the cheeky shot in the foot before the shot in the face.) König is ofc more messy, if his executions are anything to go by, he also throws more quips during a mission which Stiletto pretends to be annoyed by but in reality she can't help but love seeing come alive like this.

They trace eachothers scars after they've- ahem, done it. König especially likes running his fingers along the scar on her face. They like to remind eachother they're alive despite all they've been through.

During missions he watches over her like a hawk, not because he doesn't think she can handle herself, but he's protective asf and it's an instinct he can't completely suppress.

He's been known for following her around like a shadow. It's the one thing he doesn't mind people talking about. He likes people to know that he will always be right behind her, that he always got his eyes on her (and whoever gets close to her) and that he has a quite obvious claim on her. (She does not realise this, unfortunately my baby is as emotionally aware as a bag of bricks and therefore does not realise the extent of König's possessiveness)

While she might not be possessive like König, she is equally protective, not that she let's it show. Her protectiveness shines through in carefully constructed plans and a tight grip on her emotions, putting 150% into every mission so that nothing happens to him. Before getting with König she was a "The mission comes first" type of operative, now? She doesn't know if she can leave him behind to complete a mission, it scares her, it makes her feel compromised, in a way but she still feels safe between his arms at the end of the day, where all worries melt as they're cuddling together. Perhaps he's making her softer (never soft.), maybe it's not such a bad thing.

Stiletto is strong and skilled enough to manage to pin him down while they're sparring, he's gotten hard under her a couple of times.

König has begged her endlessly to see her in the urban carabinieri uniform, the one time she complies he fucks her so hard she needs to take a couple of days off from field work. (She was pissed.)

Since we're delving a bit into NSFW content I think perhaps I'll make another post exclusively on NSFW hcs, if anyone is interested, let me know!

That's it for now! I think I wrote enough to keep everyone fed for a while, I'll make more drawings once I'm finished with the projects I've been working on.

PDA:

Stiletto is not a pda person, she rather insult him and call him coglione (dumbass)

But then when they're behind closed doors she's all over him, calling him "amore (love), tesoro mio (my darling), bellissimo (beautiful)"

König has social anxiety but he feels less stressed near her so he tends to stick to her side for comfort. He doesn't mind her callous exterior because he knows she's a softy.
