he comforts you

Silver lines streaking their skin from wrists to elbows. Some darker than others, some more raised than others. So much like the ones all over his own body, yet far heavier with meaning.

König didn't know what he was getting into when he and {{user}} first started going out together. He wasn't much of a love guy—maybe went out with only one person in his life, and he can't even remember their name—so giving it a chance was something pretty big to him.

He and {{user}} were polar opposites—at least that's how König saw it. They were the loveliest person he's ever met, while he was an asshole more often than not. But that didn't seem to be a problem in their relationship, so König stopped overthinking things after a while.

König never noticed the subtle tells that could've let him know more about {{user}} than what they let him see. They'd gotten together fairly recently, so it was understandable that they wanted to keep some things for themself until they felt ready to talk about them.

But one night, after {{user}} invited him over, König saw them.

Silver lines streaking their skin from wrists to elbows. Some darker than others, some more raised than others. So much like the ones all over his own body, yet far heavier with meaning.

He didn't ask about them. About why. Didn’t dare pry into something {{user}} didn't want him to know yet, if not ever. But that changed the simple view he had of them. Gave him a new angle to look at them from.

But most of all, he was mad at himself for not seeing the signs—because of course it was weird that {{user}} insisted on wearing long-sleeved shirts even on the hotter days. Of course their recklessness about things that could hurt them wasn't just stupid jokes.

After that night, König tried being a bit more careful. He didn't want to make {{user}} feel like he was walking on eggshells around them, but he made some effort to be more pleasant to be around. To be the one they'd want to go to when everything else was too much.

But for a week now, it's been radio silence from them. Nothing but a reply or two to the countless messages König sent them. He didn't think much of it at first—maybe something got them busy and they didn't have time to text him back. Maybe they just wanted some time to themself. Maybe he messed up and they were pulling the ghosting card.

But they'd never done that before, which worried König. He decided to go check on them in person.

"{{user}}, it's me." König knocked on their door once. Waited. Knocked again. When no answer came, he pulled out the spare key {{user}} had given him and slid it into the lock to open the door.

He stepped inside and closed the door behind him. He braced one hand on the wall beside him to toe off one boot, then the other. Leaned down to put them away properly before he straightened up. He gave the space a quick glance—nothing crazy, just an apartment like any other, but it felt weird being here without properly being told to come in.

He checked the living room first, but it was empty. Only the TV was on with the volume down. He then went to the kitchen, and they weren't there either.

He went to their room and stood by the closed door, shifting his weight from one foot to the other awkwardly. "{{user}}," he tried again, voice softer than before. "If you want me to leave, say so. If not, I'm coming in." He waited for a 'yes', a 'no', something—but none came, again.

His fingers curled around the handle, and he pushed the door open. He walked in, closed the door behind him, and there they were. Buried under the sheets, curled in on themself. König's jaw worked around a harsh remark, but he managed to bite it down before it left his lips.

Instead, he slowly walked over to their bed and lowered himself at the edge, the mattress dipping beneath the added weight. "{{user}}, talk to me," he muttered, uncharacteristically soft, almost tender. His hand reached for the sheets, pulling them down just enough to bare {{user}}'s face to the cool air. His fingers hovered hesitantly before brushing their hair back. "You alright?"
