Work Text:
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
He likes to stay behind you when out and about. You holding his hand while heading into a store or restaurant.
Like a big puppy dog he likes to lean against you. Waiting in line together for something, anything, he’ll be pressed against your back. Resting his head on the top of yours as if he had suddenly got to tired to stand up straight anymore.
When you’re alone he lets his body weight relax against you. This is only if your standing on carpeting. As it wouldn’t be the first time he accidently took you out.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
It starts out because you were comfortable with his silence. Sitting at the same table on random days, nothing communicated other than a smile and head nod. All that changing when you ask if he speaks German, and if he’d be willing to translate something for you real quick.
After that he would look for you. Trying to be subtle while looking around the room for you. Although it’s impossible to hide the happiness in his eyes after seeing you waving him over.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
The K in König stands for cuddles, he loves them. Whether it’s a simple hug from finally getting home or a chill out on the couch with you on his lap. He loves feeling you so close and tight, able to breathe you in and hold you close.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Settling down has never been something he’s really thought about. He’s been a soldier for most of his life, it feels odd to think of a time without it.
That being said, at some point his career will have to end. Be in in injury or retirement or the third option you don’t even wanna think about. He can see himself growing older with you, but not just yet.
As far as domestic duties go; König is a cooking king. His favorite part of coming home is making you a meal that’ll have you groaning. He especially loves it when you stay in the kitchen with him while he works.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
It would take something massive for him to let you go. He couldn’t think of a reason he would; you’ve already talked about not caring about the danger. There is yet to be a reason he’d want to break up.
If it did come down to it he’d be a coward. Asking someone else to drop the bomb and then just completely disappear from your life. His stuff would be gone from your place and anything of yours he had would be left at your mailbox. Don’t bother trying to find him, you won’t be able to.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
He’d propose after at least a year together. It’s something he’d start bringing up at your first anniversary while dating. Not completely sure how to directly ask if you saw a future with him or not.
He’d be excited when you finally tie the knot. Wanting to have a say in every decision regarding the wedding and then some.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
He’s overly gentle to compensate for his size. This can be annoying sometimes when you want him to go a little further.
Emotionally he’s always had a hard time talking about his feelings. Even harder time having someone else talk about their feelings. He’s a great listener but don’t expect quality advice from him.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
He likes to have an arm around you whenever you even wonder close enough to him. A little side hug and kiss to your forehead as a greeting, even if you just left the room for something and came right back.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
He’s too scared to say it until you do. And even then he’ll say it suddenly, and with a shaky breathe, as if he’s worried that the mere words will hurt him.
You simply took his hand and said it back. Kissing his knuckles and continuing on with whatever it was you were doing.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
A fear of loss is common in most people. König has a hard time seeing himself as the great man he was. This makes it hard for him when others flirt with you in public.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
His kisses are soft and often smiles while giving them.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
Kids either hate or love König, there is no in-between.
Almost all of them would stare when he goes by. A few pointing, and others outright exclaiming that he was a giant. Something that König would just smile at.
He’s never seen himself as a father type of guy. It’s all about what you want for the future.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
He kisses whatever part of you he can reach first. A soft press of his lips before climbing out of bed and getting breakfast ready.
By the time you follow him into the kitchen there’s going to be a spread ready. It’s fifty-fifty whether he’ll be there or not. If he’s not then he’ll be out getting a run in before actually starting the day.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
He retires early. Heading off to bed around eight at the earliest or nine at the latest. It all depends on whether or not he has work, or anything planned for the morning.
Before heading to bed he’ll always ask if you’re going to join him. If you prefer going to bed later than he won’t wait up. Instead passing by and giving you a little kiss on the head before heading up.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
It’ll take some serious heart to heart sessions before he opens up emotionally. He’s willing to share his history, what his life was like as kid, what his military career entailed, even his kill count.
This is all let out slowly and over time. You could be married for a few years and he’ll still be dropping little bits of backstory.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
It’s been used before but König doesn’t just get upset. He becomes feral.
You’ve seen this in a sexual sense. Like when you finally manage to go a bit too far in teasing him. Or when you discuss beforehand how you want him to destroy you.
Only once have you seen this in a violent sense. That was when two men decided your place was a good robbery spot. They had assumed that König was gone but didn’t count on him making it back early.
So when the two men grabbed you in the hallway they weren’t expecting the human bettering ram to slam down the hallway. You knew enough to duck and keep your head down while the screams happened all around.
Even when it got quiet you didn’t look around. Allowing König to guide you out of the door to wait for the police. König was lucky he had so many contacts, it was the only way he got away with the injuries he ‘s caused.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
He’s going to embarrass you with how much better he is at remembering things. More than once he’s had flowers, a meal, and a present ready for your anniversary. Just to be met with your wide eyes because somebody forgot all about it.
He’s not hurt about it. He sees the anniversaries as something for you rather than for him. He will be very happy when you come home the next day with a gift and an apology in whatever form he wants.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
You picked him up from the airport when he was coming home. Usually he just meets you at home, but a trip was planned beforehand. It just made it easier to simply pick him up rather than driving all the way back home and leaving again.
Just seeing you waiting for him when he got off the plane will forever be remembered. As bullied and lonely kid König had never thought he’d have a loving partner waiting for him. Certainly not one that waved so enthusiastically when you finally saw him.
He kissed you hard when he was close enough. Not caring about the sarcastic awws directed your way by the people around.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
A giant man like König knows that he’s intimidating enough to not need to be on guard. A few comments here and there about what a big boy he is, but no one is going to mess with the 6ft 10 dude or the girl he’s hanging on.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
You are something to be treasured. Thus any dates you go on, anniversaries you have, or simple gifts he gives have to be a 10/10.
A little gift will always come home with him from deployment. Candles are waiting in the closet for when you want a quiet night at home. And a membership to the local cinema always ready for any date night that you even hint at.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
He uses your shower stuff; your shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and even your razors. If you have perfume then there is a good chance that he’ll try to use that too.
At first you considered that it just might be an accident. After awhile you realized that maybe König just liked smelling like you. His hair certainly has been fluffier than usual.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
He never really thought about it until he started dating you. Before he simply did the bare minimum to keep with military regulations.
Now he considers how his hair is gonna look from being in the helmet for so long. Shaving more often and actually thinking about the kind of shampoo and conditioner he’s using.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
When you become his you’re going to be his forever. When he’s away there will always be some part of him longing to be with you rather than in the field. Most of his comrades probably felt the same way. But that honestly doesn’t make it any easier.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
He’s the driver in the relationship. His car is just the way he likes it. With lots of room, clean corners, and a radio always set to his preferred channel. If you offer to drive then he’ll insist, if you REALLY wanna drive than…that’s too bad, he’s driving.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
He’s bougee as hell about his food. He will never eat frozen food, instant meals, or anything you could buy at a dollar store. The only exception to this is his beer and pop. He won’t explain why because he honestly doesn’t know.
With how much he makes why wouldn’t he be picky? He can afford it. This does mean that he’s usually the one cooking. And his refusal for frozens makes it necessary to prep beforehand. Your fridge is constantly packed with soups and dishes you just need to pop into the microwave.
No one blames you if you sneak in some nuggets every now and then.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
Likes to have something touching you at all times. Preferably when you lay on his chest or when you’re spooning. It can also be something small, like a hand on your hip or your leg pressing against his.
While this is great in the winter (Who doesn’t love a six-foot ten body pillow?) it’s absolutely horrible in the winter. It’s hard to say no to him, but you’re about to die and him pressing against your back is so much worse.
