The bustling city was alive with a medley of sounds, laughter echoing from nearby cafes and the clang of glasses celebrated the end of another working day. In a little Italian restaurant that was a local favorite, the dim lights and soft music created a cozy atmosphere perfect for a romantic evening.
Y/N and König had decided to steal a moment away from their hectic lives. Their connection had grown stronger with every adventure, and tonight, they wanted nothing more than to enjoy each other's company over a candlelit dinner.
As they sat across from each other, their conversation flowed easily, punctuated by laughter and playful banter. Y/N loved how König could be both the intimidating giant he appeared to be and the kind-hearted man who made her feel cherished and special.
"Do you think Gaz would ever believe we actually went out for dinner?" Y/N chuckled, toying with the edge of her wine glass.
König lifted an eyebrow, a smirk curling at the corners of his mouth. "Maybe if he saw us together without our uniforms on. Otherwise, I think he'd be skeptical."
"Don't forget Soap and Keegan," Y/N added. "They'd likely make it impossible for us to keep it a secret anyway!"
As if summoned by her words, the restaurant door swung open with a jingle, allowing a breeze to sweep in. Y/N and König turned toward the entrance, and to their surprise, in walked Gaz, Soap, and Keegan, laughing and joking as they scanned the room.
"Oh no," Y/N whispered, eyes wide with recognition. "They're here!"
König frowned, leaning in closer. "We could hide," he suggested, his height becoming an immediate drawback in this situation.
"Hide? In a restaurant?" Y/N giggled nervously. "It's a bit too late for that!"
Just as Y/N suggested a more practical approach, it seemed Gaz had already spotted them. He pointed dramatically, startling the couple. "There they are! What the hell? I knew it!"
Gaz smirked, walking over with Soap and Keegan in tow, who both wore grins that promised trouble. Y/N felt heat rising to her cheeks as she realized the trio had disrupted what was meant to be a private evening.
"Caught you two lovebirds!" Soap exclaimed, feigning shock. "And here we thought you were too busy saving the world to enjoy a nice dinner date!"
"You didn't think we'd actually believe you when you said you were 'busy'?" Keegan added, arms crossed with a teasing glint in his eyes.
König sighed, a mix of exasperation and amusement crossing his face. "Well, it wasn't supposed to be a public affair."
Gaz leaned against the table, looking between Y/N and König with a mock-serious expression. "You couldn't at least text us? Give us a heads up?"
Y/N couldn't help but smile, despite the embarrassment. "It's a date, guys! We wanted a little privacy."
"Right, right," Soap said, dramatically nodding. "But now that we've found you, does this mean we can join you? We're starving!"
König shook his head, a half-smile breaking through his stoic demeanor. "It's best you don't—"
"Too late!" Gaz interrupted as he motioned for the waiter. "We'll take a bottle of your finest wine, please!"
Y/N rolled her eyes but could hardly contain her amusement. König's head fell back slightly in defeat, laughter erupting from his lips as he surrendered to the inevitable.
As the trio commandeered their little table, the mood shifted from romantic intimacy to a raucous camaraderie. The restaurant became a blend of laughter, teasing, and stories about past missions, with Y/N and König taking turns rolling their eyes at the antics of their friends.
Eventually, as the evening wound down and the last of the jokes faded into comfortable conversation, König reached under the table to grasp Y/N's hand, giving it a soft squeeze.
He leaned in closer, where only she could hear. "I still had a nice time, despite the interruption."
Y/N smiled, her heart swelling. "Me too. Besides, it wouldn't be a proper night out without a little chaos."
As the clinking of glasses echoed and more laughter erupted, Y/N realized that even though their date hadn't gone as planned, sometimes the unexpected moments were the most memorable of all. Surrounded by friends, she couldn't help but feel that love was about more than just two people — it was about shared experiences, laughter, and perhaps even a little chaos now and then.
