Team Fortress: A company that promotes war and violence between different people with different skills. 9 classes: Pyro (parts unknown), Soldier (USA), Engineer (Texas), Spy (France), Heavy (Russia), Sniper (Australia), Scout (Boston), Demoman (Scotland), Medic (Germany). Two teams: The BLU team (Builders League United) and the RED team (Reliable Excavation Demolition). One motivation: to dominate. Oh, there was definitely domination: the domination of love. Two snipers from each team, Lawrence (BLU) and Cameron (RED) found the love of their lives on the battlefield. Will it lead to complications? It might or it might not. Would you like to find out? Well then, let's go forward in time, 6 months after their encounter…
The weekend was finally here and the two teams were returning to their respective buildings after a hard day's work. On the BLU side, the demoman, medic, heavy and spy decided to go out drinking while the others just decided to sleep. The only one who wasn't doing neither was the sniper. He took off his vest and shirt and threw them onto his bed, letting the bullets and supplies from his pockets hit the floor. Not even moments later, the blaring sound of his cell phone began to go off. Grunting, he went over to the demanding phone across the room and unplugged it from the charger. The sniper looked at the caller ID and his mood instantly changed from tired to excited.
"Oi, Cameron! How are you? Hopefully we didn't beat ya up too bad."
"Oi, and no worries. I'm just happy we respawn." Said the voice on the other end.
"Is a good thing indeed. So, ya got any plans for tonight, mate?"
"Indeed I do. Goin' on a date with a very handsome bloke."
"What a coincidence! So am I!"
"Yeah, its nothin' too formal or anythin'. He and I just goin' to the shootin' range."
"That's really strange because I have the same date there tonight."
"Well then, if I'm not mistaken, I'm starting to think that we're the ones going on this so-called date together."
"By God, I think you're right!"
"Well then, I guess I'll be seein' you at 8."
"Ya know I can't wait." The BLU sniper chuckled at his rhyme then hung up. He walked over to his little bathroom and checked his face in the mirror. "Nothin' like a good ol' shave and shower before shootin'." He said, grabbing his towel.
Cameron held his phone in his hand, looking at himself in his bathroom mirror. He put his phone down, tied his long hair back into a ponytail and splashed water into his face.
"C'mon, man. You've been seein' this man for months now and ya aren't gettin' no younger. Tonight ya gotta do it." Pep-talking wasn't something he was particually good at, but it doesn't hurt. Then he looked down, sighing sadly. "I just wish we didn't have to be separated like this." He turned around to look at the RED vest and shirt hanging up next to his bed. "When this job is over I'm going back to Australia with him and everything will be great." His eyes shifted to the black velvet ring case on his bed. "Tonight. I'm doing this tonight."
That night at the range, Cameron waited in his lonely van for his date to come. twirling his long ponytail, he looked around. No one. His watch read 8:15. Sighing, he opened a small safe that was locked under his seat and drew out a pistol. He examined every detail of the new, clean metal, trying to pass the time. Suddenly, another van pulled up next to his. Knowing who it was, Cameron fixed his usual RED sniper uniform and placed his pistol in the holder around his thigh. The BLU sniper, also dressed in his uniform, got out of the van holding a whole bunch of practice targets. Cameron smiled at him and waved while making sure he didn't forget the ring in his pocket. Leaving the van, he ran towards the BLU sniper, wrapping his arms around him and giving him a big kiss.
"I was afraid you wren't gonna come, Lawrence." Cameron looked into his eyes with love and a hint of worry.
"Naw, I would never leave you hangin', mate." Lawrence brought him into a kiss again.
"So," Cameron said, breaking the kiss, "ya bring ya pistol wit' ya?"
"In the back." Lawrence took Cameron by the hand and led him to the back of the van. As he opened the hatch, Cameron's jaw dropped. There were cases which held all these different kinds of weapons. Not just sniper rifles or pistols, but maces, kukris, extra jarates, even a couple of machine guns. "I'm quite the assassin." Lawrence said proudly, noticing Cameron's facial expression. Taking his pistol and closing the door, Lawrence made a 'Charlie's Angles sexy pose' and said "let's get it on, mate." Cameron definitely felt aroused but kept his cool.
For the next hour, the two shot some lead while telling their battlefield stories.
"...So after I got the medic, the heavy was just standing there before his corpse with a look of shock and horror on his face."
"Oh yeah, I remember that. He ran all the way back to the fort to make sure he was okay." Cameron sighed. "Its sad that some people on my team ain't made for fightin'." Lawrence chuckled.
"My team sometimes screws around too. I think we're all here just for the company's amusement." He finished his last target, then placed the pistol down, stretching.
"I can agree with that." Cameron also placed his pistol down and stretched with Lawrence, accidentally bumping elbows. Chuckling again, Lawrence moved towards Cameron, giving him a kiss.
"This was fun." He smiled.
"Indeed." Cameron replied, going in for another kiss. He reached for the ring in his pocket, trying to prep himself for the moment.
"So, what are we gonna do now?" Lawrence asked, wrapping his arms around Cameron.
"Well, I was thinking we would hang out in my van for a while." Cameron took Lawrence's hands. "I just have to do one little thing before we go." Lawrence looked at Cameron with perplexity and excitement as he began to kneel on one knee. "Lawrence 'Alligator' Mundy," Cameron began, taking the box out of his pocket. His hands shook a little when he opened the box in front of him. "Will you marry me?" Lawrence stood there, surprised and at a loss for words. Cameron looked at him with a look of anticipation as Lawrence struggled to get the words out. Collecting himself, he took a big breath and answered.
"I thought you'd never ask." He smiled.
"So...does that mean-"
"Yes, you wanka!" Lawrence laughed. Cameron jumped up with excitement, putting the gold ring on his left ring finger and tackling him into a hug/kiss.
"So, when this job is over will you come to live with me in Australia?" Cameron asked.
"I would be crazy if I said no." Lawrence laughed. They went in for one more kiss before packing up their things and snuggling together in Cameron's van. He wrapped his arms around Lawrence from behind, staring into the night sky. The moon's blue shine and the glistening, white stars were the only sources of light filling the dark range. Lawrence put his hands on Cameron's, holding them tightly. "I love you, Cameron."
"I love you too, Lawrence." He sighed, laying back into Cameron more.
"What's up?" He asked, holding his new fiancé even tighter.
"Its horrible that we always have to fight each other."
"I know and to make things worse, we have to hide this engagement. If Helen were to find out, bad things are most likely to happen."
"What about our teammates?" Cameron shrugged.
"Some would be more accepting than others but I highly doubt they would do anything. I'd keep it a secret anyway." Lawrence bit his lip.
"Well then, looks like I'm gonna have to hide this." He analyzed at the gold ring on his finger but he got distracted when Cameron started kissing his neck. Quick as a flash, Lawrence tackled Cameron onto his little caravan bed.
It was an excellent night.
