Strings
The Medic sighed, and stepped into the seemingly empty recreation room of the BLU base. It had been a long and grueling day. He had died saving others twice as often as usual, and no one had taken the time to thank him for it. As a result, the weary doctor just really wanted to relax.
He looked around the room for a moment before walking over to a shadowed wardrobe and pulling out a violin. No one on BLU team knew about the Medic's musical talents. They didn't even know his name! Wesley Kreiger learned how to play the violin, piano, and almost every other stringed instrument known to man at a very young age. He was brilliant with all of them, but the violin was his favorite to play. He loved the rich, expressive sound it made each time he pulled the bow across the strings, nimbly moving his fingers to not only play the notes, but bring them to life. This always seemed to calm him, even when he was in the worst of moods, so he would play the violin for hours while no one else was around.
Wesley smiled and positioned the instrument so that it was cradled between his jaw and his collarbone, closed his eyes, and began to play. The entire room was filled with beautiful music as the stressed out Medic began releasing all of his tension and frustration. Immediately, he began to feel better, and started to play a more intense melody.
Unbeknownst to him, the BLU team's resident Sniper, a young woman by the name of Andrea, heard the mysterious sound and came to investigate. Quietly, she opened the door to the rec room. What she saw inside blew her away. Never had she heard such wonderful music in all of her life. It moved inside her, and forced her body to move with it. She began to perform a beautiful contemporary-style dance, not even having to think about her movements because of how in-sync she was with the music. She moved like a snowflake in the winter breeze, like water in a flowing river, crystalline but fluid and graceful.
She noticed that the Medic had begun to move with his music as well, and smiled. For once, she felt connected to someone on an emotional level. Then, suddenly, the music stopped. Andrea realized that the Medic was now watching her, and froze up. "I-I'm sorry, mate. I-I just couldn't help myself..."
"You move beautifully, Fräulein," the Medic said with a slight chuckle. "Though I must say, I did not expect something like that from a Sniper."
"Yeah...? Well, I never expected you to be so good on the violin, either, so I guess we're even...and thanks."
"You are welcome." The two of them stared at each other in silence for a while, before finally heading back to their rooms, their minds racing.
