Hey y'all, and welcome to my new fanfic called Time Will Heal! This is my first TF2 fanfic, so I hope y'all like it! Now, before we get started, there are a few things I want to go over:
1. Yes, there WILL be yaoi in the story. If you don't like that feel free to turn around and leave.
2. I rated this M due to content in later chapters. Nothing too explicit, but there will be some bad violence and some suggestive stuff later on. I'm not going to say what, otherwise it would be considered spoilers~ ;3.
3. I don't know how long this fanfic will be and I don't know how often I will be able to update it. If I don't update it for a while it would most likely be because of a job or important stuff. So, in the case I don't update it for quite some time, please be patient.
Now that that's out of the way, let's dive into the story!
Sniper growled as he headshot the Blu Scout again. It was almost as if they WANTED to have their brains blown out, what with the way they never seemed to try to take cover even though they knew there was a chance of being sniped. Sniper couldn't tell if they were stupid or not, though he didn't really care at the moment as he saw Scout with the Intelligence and began sniping again to make sure he made it back to base in one piece.
"RED TEAM WINS!" announced the Administrator over the intercoms once Scout had delivered the Blu Intelligence back to the Red base. The others cheered as Sniper climbed down from his perch, the Blu team grumbling and heading back to their own base. "Good job mate!" said Sniper, patting Scout on the back. "Thanks man..." said Scout, though he seemed slightly nervous as he spoke. "I gotta go wash up..." Scout said quickly, walking off.
Sniper sighed and shook his head, knowing exactly what Scout was doing: the runner was avoiding him, and Sniper knew why. "Maybe I shouldn't have told them..." the Aussie mumbled to himself, putting his rifle away. A few months back Sniper had revealed to the team a huge secret: he was gay. The team had been shocked at first, but for the most part didn't seem to bothered by it. Out of all the reactions though, Scout's had been closest to the one Sniper had been fearing.
Sniper sighed as he remembered Scout trying to talk him out of it, as if it was simply a choice Sniper had made. When that didn't work, the Bostonian had taken to trying to avoid Sniper, albeit politely as to try and not hurt Sniper's feelings. The others had been more accepting, even Heavy which had surprised Sniper. Sniper was jolted from his thought's when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Herr Sniper, are you alright?" said Medic, clearly worried. Sniper turned to the German, giving a slightly forced smile. "Yeah... I-I'm fine Doc..." Sniper said, though he knew Medic wouldn't fall for it. He was right when Medic crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. "Mun-Dee, you cannot hide anyzhing from me... vhat's zhe matter?" Sniper sighed.
"Scout's avoidin' me..." Medic sighed. "Give him time... He'll come around... he's just not used to zhis sort of zhing..." he said, smiling softly. "I hope so Doc..." said Sniper as they headed out, only to growl when he heard whistling from the Blu base. "Oi, Red Sniper! Why don't you come over here!? I'll show you a good time!" shouted the Blu Demo, his green eye shining slightly and himself obviously drunk.
Sniper growled. "Buzz off ya prick!" the Aussie yelled, stomping away as Medic followed. "Mun-Dee..." "Why the hell did the Blu team have to find out!? That bloody Demo of theirs refuses to leave me alone!" said Sniper, grumbling to himself. "Ignore him mon ami..." said a suave voice, a certain masked Frenchman walking over. "He just wants to get under your skin..." "It's easier said than done mate..." said Sniper, sighing. "I just wanna eat and go to bed..." he said, walking to the kitchen.
Sniper walked over to the fridge and was about to open it when a gloved hand stopped him. "What are ya doin' slim?" asked Engie, smiling. "Getting food..." said Sniper, frowning. "Nah, Ah'm cookin' tonight! You can go back to that camper of yours later! You just need to quality time with the rest of us!" Engie said, pushing Sniper over to the dining table. Sniper sighed and sat down, grabbing a book and reading it as the others filed in and sat down as well.
After a few minutes Engie served a barbeque dinner for everyone, the others having conversations as they ate. Sniper remained quiet, not in the mood to talk at the moment. He finished his food quickly and got up, leaving to his van. He wasn't sure why, but he felt as if his van was the safest place at the base for him. He made his way inside and let out a sigh of relief as he locked the camper's door.
Looking around anyone could see that the living space inside the camper was small and somewhat sparse, but Sniper didn't mind. What few personal belongs he brought with him when he came to the base were mostly pictures that didn't take up space. He picked up the one of his parents that was on the counter and looked at it, smiling sadly. "I miss you Mum... Miss you Dad..." he said quietly, wiping a couple of tears from his eyes as he set down the picture.
He slowly changed out of his clothes into a pair of shorts to sleep in, glancing at himself in the mirror he had. His chocolate brown hair was messy and his baby blue eyes looked tired, though he contributed that to the stress his job could have on him. He wasn't too muscular like everyone else in his home country of Australia, seeing as he had actually been born in New Zealand, but he had gained at least some muscle from all the workouts Soldier made them do on a daily basis.
There were scars all over his body from the constant battles, but he didn't mind. He shook his head and yawned, stretching as he placed his aviators on the table and climbed into bed. He curled up under the covers and slowly fell asleep, unaware he wasn't alone in the small camper. A pair of aquamarine blue eyes appeared from seemingly nowhere and looked at him. "You have more friends than you think bushman..."
DONE! That was fun! Hope y'all enjoyed this first chapter!
Until next time, Icy is out!
