Work Text:
(Y/N) was standing in the bathroom. He didn't have a proper shower for three weeks when he got his mastectomy. He ran a hang through his knotted, (H/C) hair and pulled his hair tie out, letting it fall to his shoulders.
He turned on the faucet in the sink and bent over to wet his hair underneath it, hissing a bit as the bandages kept him from doing so. (Y/N) let out a groan and slammed his hand into the bathroom wall, wincing immediately as he regretted it.
The door to the bathroom opened and König poked his head in with a worried look. "(Y/N), ist alles gut*¹? I heard you slam the wall..." He said, walking towards the shorter male.
(Y/N) looked up at him and crossed his arms over his bandaged chest with a sigh. "Yeah, I'm good König…I just can't seem to be able to wash my hair still" he responded and looked into the mirror.
König looked down at his friend with a worried look and then put a gentle hand onto (Y/N)'s shoulder. "Maybe…maybe I'll help you wash your hair…?" He asked, tilting his head slightly.
The larger Austrians face was unreadable due to his sniper hood covering it but you could tell he asked it genuinely. He truly wanted to help his friend out, especially in a time like this where (Y/N) needed rest.
(Y/N) looked up at him confused. He couldn't believe that König was being genuine with the question. He thought for a while and then shrugged. "Alright…thank you König"
König smiled under his mask and rushed out of the bathroom. Not even a minute passed and König came back with a stool and a bowl, which was probably going to be used to pour water onto (Y/N)'s head. He put a towel around (Y/N)'s torso to keep the bandages from getting wet.
König gently began to pour water onto (Y/N)'s hair, covering his eyes with the palm of his hand to stop it from getting into his eyes. He gently began to put Shampoo into the man's hair, trying his best to be gentle with his touch.
"Ow that hurt…" hissed the male under his breath. König looked down worriedly and stopped for a second, hugging him from behind for a quick second. "Tut mir leid*²…although I can't be gentle enough when there's knots in your hair, Sonnenschein*³…" he muttered, squeezing him in the hug and then he got back to shampooing his hair.
Around twenty minutes passed and König rinsed the shampoo out of (Y/N)'s hair. He looked down at him and then asked in the softest tone possible. "Could I brush your hair?"
(Y/N) looked up at him, biting the inside of his cheek. He thought for a while and then nodded. "Yeah…of course you can, König"
König smiled underneath his mask, his eyes turning slightly upwards in the corners as he did. He grabbed a brush and gently brushed through his hair. The Austrian was being very gentle with his hair, not wanting to cause him any pain.
Once he finished, he dried (Y/N)'s hair with a towel and helped him put on a shirt. "Thank you so much König" said the male with a smile. The Austrian looked down at him for a second and then picked him up, hugging him gently.
(Y/N) was surprised at that and looked at him with a confused expression. "König, what the-" he started only to hear the Austrian laugh softly under his breath.
"Frag keine unnötigen fragen, mein lieber*⁴…let's get you to bed"
