no, not that way. actual sleeping. as in sharing a bed. not proofread, enjoy!!
⚠︎ cw: um. him. he is such a freak of nature. nah i’m kidding, mentions of combat, anxiety, nightmares.
you bet that once you share a bed with könig, your life chages. for the better or worse is unknown. here is a short list of the pros and cons about letting this big dork under your sheets.
comfy. this man is old. or at the very least acts old. his bed, or wherever he sleeps for longer than two a few nights, is decked out. soft and firm pillows, weighted blankets (he gets them as heavy as can be — has 100% considered learning how to sew so he can make them heavier). you bet that also means that your bed is invaded by his sleeping items as well.
warm, so so warm. a man who weighs close to 120kgs and is as tall as he is, over 2 meters, is warm. shockingly, attractively warm. it begs the question — why does he have so many blankets if he sleeps on top of them or ends up kicking them off? who cares, at least you get to use them!
cuddling. holy moly, when i tell you this man is a cuddle bug. admittedly, it does take him a while to warm up to it, maybe a few months of stiff sitting on the couch while watching movies, or offering only his arm or hand while falling asleep. but once those walls are lowered? goodbye personal space. in public, you can have a breather, he likes to pretend he is modest and not borderline codependent. at home it is a free for all. he practices caution because he is possibly the biggest worry wart known to man, but he also would surgically connect himself to you. has considered it. anyways, he cuddles like no tomorrow. bear hugs, small spoon, big spoon, hell, he’d even go top toe. he does not care. give him your skin please.
general politeness and regard for you. when you first started going out, his friends jokingly warned you that he was grumpy, pushy, and only listened to himself, only thought of himself. you quickly learn that he is a huge pushover, but only for you. your pillow isn’t fluffed? hold on, he’s got it. you need water, or tissues, or medicine? don’t you dare move. he’ll fetch it. he wants to. he tries, on occasion, to give you personal space. that voice inside, so whiny, so persistent, telling him that he is too much, that you want space from his too warm, too big, too everything. you both realise that sleeping sucks when you are not smothered by each other.
snoring. his nose has been broken so many times, both from childhood fights and active combat. he can’t help it, he swears! pretend you don’t see big wet tears in his eyes when you tease him about it too much. it’s loud, but honestly, he’s a built in white noise machine. do you even care?
nightmares. you want to tell me that this big fucker doesn’t get nightmares? liar. honestly, his unconscious brain has a big lucky dip of memories and trauma to choose from when conjuring night terrors. whether he is getting chased home again, laughed and cackled at the whole time, or cowering from artillery fire. he always wakes up gasping into his trembling hands, debating whether to gently shake you awake so he can have some help. he can’t help it, i don’t think this counts as a con, he can't control it!
finally, waking up times. besides being austrian german, he’s been in the military since he was 17. he wakes up at 6am, every morning, without an alarm. he just opens his eyes, stretches, and gets up. it's uncanny. buuuttt... you always wake up with coffee, or tea, or at the very least some form of breakfast. is that so bad?
safe to say... it is certainly an experience to share a bed with this big lug. does it make you happy? most of the time... like 98%. does it make him happy? so so much. indescribable.
the first few times, he wakes up with a jolt. why is someone so close? is he being attacked? once he realises it is willing? you are willingly right there?
better say goodbye to your personal space.
hello new followers and others! hope you enjoyed! reminder that my requests are open, and i appreciate any type of encouragement!
