~The Bullet Hole's Kiss~ ( König x Male Reader )

"The beautiful souls always get picked first to enter the gates of heaven"

3rd pov

Both Bullet and Sangy waited in their shared room. After discussing about the previous mission, the two men were dismissed, their first thought was to come back to their shared room and hopefully see their favorite Quebecian again, which failed. She was not here, they figured out she was still in medbay or busy with something.

They both sat in their respective bed in silence, not having anything to say. It began to be awkward, really awkward, all they could hear was the other's breathe. The french man didn't want to hear his heartbeat, system and a whistle again so he tried to break the silence :

"So... You ok ?"

The blonde only shakily nodded, his gaze stuck to the floor. Silence, not a word spoken after that.

Gentle but loud knocks landed on their door, making Sangy jump by the abrupt noise. Bullet got up, happy to get out of the awkward situation. He opened the door to be met with the same masked face he saw earlier.

"Great, another awkward man"

He thought. The austrian man spoke up, asking :

"Have you both ate anything?"

To which the duo shook their heads. König asked again, breaking the silence before it was even created :

"Do you want to eat with me ?"

The two other men walked to him, not bothering to give an oral response.

The three men walked in the corridor to the dining area, quite slowly because of König's limping from his newly created wound. He assured the other two that it will heal soon and he won't be limping for too long. They took their lunches and sat in a free area. The giant man took his fork full of food and gently made it pass under his mask, he always wanted to hide his face, even when he was eating. In fact, he would always eat alone before, but since he made friends, he wanted to eat with them. It gave him an idea to possibly start a conversation.

He turned his face to Bullet and said :

"It's been a while since you stopped wearing the mask"

The french man thought, swallowing his food before speaking :

"At first I was hiding my face because I didn't want to scare people or make them uneasy, but during training all the exertion would make me sweat because of the heat it would bring. So I stopped wearing it. I don't know how this Ghost guy keeps wearing it without dying from the heat"

König lightly chuckled, Sangy just kept eating silently. Bullet wanted to ask a question, so he did :

"Do you perhaps know where Shay is ?"

The masked man looked confused, he answered :

"I haven't seen her since the mission".

Sangy spoke up :

"When's the next mission ?"

König replied almost immediately :

"I don't know yet, but we're hurt so it probably won't be soon for us three"

Sangy audibly sighed in relief, this man was probably the most anxious man Bullet has ever met, so having a "break" was truly a blessing for him.

The three men kept trying to make a conversation but every so often the talking would stop and the awkward silence would take its place instead. Quickly after finishing his meal and without talking to anyone, Sangy abruptly got up and left. Bullet guessed the other man wanted some alone time and he was willing to give it. König sent a worried look towards Sangy, silently watching him leave, he then turned his gaze towards Bullet who was just staring at his plate, not having the gut to finish it. The austrian man felt like he had to do something, but didn't know what. After some internal debating, he decided to slip up his hand on Bullet's one, showing comfort in some way. The short man smiled warmly at it, muttering a "thank you" to König.
