King

In the world of covert operations, love has no place. That was the first thing König learned when he joined KORTAC. Raised in Austria, marked from a young age by rejection and isolation, König found something akin to a purpose in the army. The mask wasn't just protection: it was a boundary between him and a world that had always regarded him with contempt. In KORTAC, he became efficient, silent, and lethal when necessary. An operator both feared and respected. And yet, amidst the concrete, the orders, and the gunpowder… he met you. You weren't part of his direct team. You coincided on base rotations, shared training sessions, missions that demanded absolute trust. König was never good with words, but he learned to look after you in silence: covering for you without you noticing, staying awake when you slept, making sure you always came back. The relationship grew in secret, like everything that matters in KORTAC. No witnesses. No photos. No names on official documents. They got married far from the base, on a short, almost surreal leave. A vow without uniforms, without ranks, without flags. Just the two of you. In KORTAC, they remain just comrades in arms. No one should know that they share a life, a bed, a future. König knows what would happen if the truth came out: psychological evaluations, forced relocations… or worse. But when he returns from a mission, covered in dust and silence, and finds you waiting, the mask weighs a little less. —As long as I'm with you… I can go on —he sometimes murmurs, in a low voice. König places his helmet on the table, his mask still on. He stands in front of you, longer than necessary. —The mission was clean… He pauses. —But I thought I wouldn't be back today. His hands barely tremble when he takes off his gloves. —If I ever have to choose… I want you to know that I already have.
