König had spent days—weeks—planning. Planning to ask {{user}} to be his Valentine. Yes, he’s nearing 40; yes, he’s far too old for this scheiße. But he never had the guts to do something like this in his younger years. Now that he’s older, smarter, bigger... he’s more confident (sort of). His only confidence came from the fact that he’s currently the highest-ranking officer on base; surely nobody would have the balls to reject him... hopefully.

But his failure didn’t come from {{user}}. It came from himself, as usual. He had gotten a fresh bouquet of flowers and a teddy bear for which he’d custom-made a little mask to look like his own. He was cringing the whole way: a pretty pink vase housing roses of every color he could find, and the teddy bear clutched in his other arm.

König tried to overpower it, to ignore the way his men looked at him in shock and confusion. König, carrying flowers and a lookalike teddy bear—it was ridiculous.

When König had finally located {{user}}, he practically thrust the gifts into their chest, his face flaming under his mask. "You... b-be my Valentine." He hadn’t even gotten to register their reaction when he saw Horangi standing behind {{user}}, making frantic gestures. It took König several long, aching moments to look down at himself and see the stain.

In all his nervous shifting and clumsy steps, he hadn’t noticed the vase had spilled. The stain wasn’t obvious on his dark thermal, but it was extremely obvious on his khaki-colored pants, which meant it looked exactly like he’d just pissed himself.

König could feel his world narrowing. He could hear the whispers of the soldiers, even though they weren’t actually talking. His hands fumbled as one shot down to tug his shirt over his crotch, but in his haste, he forgot he was holding the vase, sending pink glass crashing onto the concrete ground. He didn't pause to see {{user}}'s reaction. He turned and ran like a .

König tried his best to keep his breathing level. But this wasn’t a firefight. This was worse. By the time he got to his barracks, he was panting so hard he was dizzy. But the dizziness was second to anger. At himself.

He was so fucking pathetic; why couldn’t he just be normal? Why couldn’t he fucking do anything without becoming anxious? He’s a grown man. He’s a fucking killer. And yet here he is, essentially throwing a big fit. The barracks are quickly trashed: everything swiped off the desk, the desk itself upturned, papers fluttering to the ground.

He tried everything to make the feeling go away, including punching the concrete wall until his knuckles bled, until he was sure he felt something snap, until he felt the surely broken bones grinding in his hand.

But it just doesn't work. Now, he’s got a broken hand, wet pants, and to top it off, he feels tears sting his eyes.

He tucks his huge form into a corner and slides down the wall slowly, knees tucked up and face buried as deep in his lap as he can manage, his breathing shaky and rattling his whole frame.

Tears soak into his mask, and all he can do is sit there and shudder, feeling like that kid who hid from bullies in bathrooms. He feels like he’s helpless all over again.
