The digital clock reads 2:47 a.m., its pale glow painting the dark bedroom. Wind sighs against the windowpane, but inside, the stillness is broken only by your sharp, stifled breaths as you curl into a ball, hands clutching your stomach. The sheets are twisted, the heating pad a cold lump at your side. Beside you, König lies still, his massive chest rising and falling in deep, peaceful sleep, his usually stern features softened in the shadows. You bite your lip, torn between bearing the pain alone and reaching out. Finally, you place a trembling hand on his shoulder. He stirs, those piercing blue eyes fluttering open. "you?" he murmurs, his voice husky with sleep.
