Today, Konig leaves to go on a solo mission. He won't be back for two months and I won't be able to talk to him until he gets back. Konig and I hide in my house in my room. "Ich liebe dich." He mumbles against my forehead. I smile. (Translation: I love you.)
"Ich liebe dich," I say back. He chuckles. He's been teaching me a bit of German when we're together, just simple and quick phrases.
"Wirst du mich vermissen liebling?" He asks softly. I love my gentle giant. (Translation: Will you miss me?)
"So much," I say. He chuckles again and kisses me softly. I kiss him back, smiling.
When he pulls away, he says, "I'm going to miss you like crazy meine liebe." (Translation: my love.)
"It's only two months," I say. "We can do this." He chuckles.
"It's not like I have much of a choice." He says and laughs. I scoff and hit him on the arm, smiling.
"Arschloch!" I say and laugh. He smiles and pulls me onto his lap. "We don't have time." I poke his chest. (Translation: Asshole!)
"Mmmmm." He says. "We always have time." I laugh and lean down and kiss him. He groans and grabs my hips.
"If you keep this up," I say against his lips. "You'll leave more bruises on my hips." He chuckles.
"Are you complaining?" He asks with a smirk. Arschloch. I deepen this kiss. I want him so bad. But we don't have time. After a few minutes, I sigh and pull away. He sighs as well. "What time is it?" I reach over and look at the time on my phone that's on the nightstand.
"Almost noon," I say and look at him.
"Let's get lunch before Ieave." He says. I smile and get off him.
"I'd love to," I say as he sits up. "Let me get dressed. Do you want to pick out my outfit?" He smiles.
"Sure." He says and walks over to my closet. He picks out a cream long-sleeve blouse, a black and pink plaid skirt, and a pair of nude heels.
I quickly put the outfit on and throw my hair up with a claw clip. We decide to eat at a steakhouse. It's our last date for a while. I mean, I would call it a date. I'm not sure if he feels the same way. Technically we aren't dating. We're just friends that fuck around and stuff. I don't know maybe-
"Liebling?" Konig asks. I look at him and smile.
"Yes, baby?" I ask. He looks concerned.
"Were you overthinking again?" He asks.
"Maybe just a bit," I say and take a bite of the steak on my plate. It's so fucking good.
"What are you thinking about mein schoner engel?" He asks. I smile at the nickname he gave me. (Translation: my beautiful angel.)
"Just about you leaving," I say with a small smile. I try not to let my smile fade but he notices anyway.
"What else?" He asks.
"Nothing." I lie. How does one bring up the question of 'are we a couple?'
"Don't lie to my mein schatz." He says and places his hand over mine. I look at him. (Translation: my darling.)
"I don't know how to phrase this," I say and think for a second. Just spit it out dumbass. "Are we-" I'm interrupted by a phone ringing. It turns out to be his.
"Hold on liebling." He says and answers the phone. He talks back and forth with the person on the phone. I watch his facial expressions as he does. Yes, he currently has his mask off. Why? I'm not sure. In public? Yes and no. We have a private table and no one is allowed in here but one waiter. His expression turns from annoyance to sadness. "I'll be there soon." He hangs up and looks at me. "It's time mein schatz." I sigh and nod, fighting back tears. He puts his mask back on.
We get up and pay for the meal before heading back to base. We stay silent the entire ride back. He seems to have forgotten about our conversation. The ride back to base is too quick. He parks at the airfield and we get out. I hug him tightly and he hugs me back. "Ich liebe dich so sehr, liebling." He murmurs against my hair.
"Ich liebe dich auch." I say and start to cry. He's really leaving. I know he has no choice but still. I'm going to miss him like crazy. He pulls away and looks down at me. He brushes the tears off my cheeks.
"Sei gut fur mich, ja?" He says. I nod. "Promise?" (Translation: Be good for me, yes?)
"I promise," I say and sniffle. He pulls away.
"Take care of her." He says to someone behind me. I don't even turn around to see who it is. I assume they nod because Konig looks back at me. "I'll see you soon." He kisses me on the forehead one last time before walking on the plane. I watch as he boards the plane. I stay there until the plane takes off and leaves. He's gone.
