She woke up as the day came to an end and the sun was not so high. I took my eye off the scope to look down at her as she had fallen onto my lap in her sleep; her eyes fluttered, and she moved her head and hands around to try and feel where she was. Her right hand stroked the fabric covering my legs and she seemed to realize where she was. She pushed herself up and yawned before turning to face me, "I'm sorry, I must have fallen asleep." The only reason why we didn't die is because I've been extra careful, I could even hear the Blu Spy and killed him before he had the chance to kill us. Our Heavy seemed to be angry about her "slacking off" as he said, but he continued to do his job.
"You seemed exhausted; the sun must be really getting to you. I probably should have woken you, but you seemed so peaceful." She smiled, "I really needed that rest, thank-you for allowing me to," she wrapped her arms around my shoulders and hugged me, my eyes widened at the thought of her wrapped around me. She let go a few moments later she let go and stood up, I stood up next to her and helped her stay standing.
She wobbled a bit and fell onto my chest, banging her head on my collarbone; I patted her head then stood her up and tried to steady her. "This heat really is getting to me, how hot is it anyway?" I replied, "thirty-two degrees." She stared at me for a moment before I realized she didn't understand, "oh, that's Celsius; then it's about ninety degrees Fahrenheit." Her eyes bulged and she grabbed into my shirt for support, "It's impossibly hot, no one should be out here, we would just keep dying then re-spawning. There's no point!" I helped her stand up, "You should never come to Australia then, this is the temperature in winter." She looked up at me, her right eye twitching, "How is that even possible? And you're alive!" I chuckled at her over-reaction, "I grew up with it, us Aussies are used to it." She smiled with confusion in her eyes, "I will never be able to understand you Sniper." She leaned on my chest while trying to stay standing, "You don't have to understand me, just trust me. You need to stay in the infirmary for a while and catch your breath; do you need my assistance?"
She looked up at me with forlorn eyes, "If it doesn't bother you, then yes, please." Her hands gripped my vest for support; I moved them away and picked her up bridal style, she seemed bewildered for a moment until she saw where she was. "Thank-you so much, Sniper. You're such a good friend." After she spoke, her head rested on my shoulder as I walked her back to the infirmary. The roller door suddenly rose and let us in; I sat her down on one of the benches and knelt down in front of her as I helped her lie down. She protested, "Wait, if someone sees me sleeping on the job, they'll hate me!" I laughed at that statement, "They can't hate you, if you don't rest then you won't be helping us, and people have already seen you sleeping when they ran past me. They just want you to feel better." She looked at me with a blank face, "How can they still be running around in that heat! Isn't it getting to anyone else?"
"Actually, I've been pretty exhausted also," said Pyro, he sat on a bench nearby without his mask or flame retardant suit, just a singlet and shorts. His curly blonde hair was dripping with water he doused himself with every few seconds. "See, you aren't alone. Just stay here for now; I should really get back to my post. Plus, I'm sure there are Blu's that can't take the heat anymore; don't think you need to exhaust yourself in this heat wave, just to help your team." I walked towards the roller door preparing myself to face the heat outside of this air-conditioned room. Medic spoke up, "Thank-you, for everything." I turned around and waved at her before running back to my post, Kukri in hand.
Moments later I arrived at my spot, above the ground floor roller doors and next to a barrier, incase any Blu's shoot this way. I set up my rifle and made sure I had spare bullets at the ready before looking through the scope. I saw the Blu Demoman setting up sticky bombs around the exits of their base; I shot him in the head to disarm them. I then looked around to find that the Blu Sniper was also looking through her scope; before she saw me our Spy disguised as the enemy Engineer tapped her on the shoulder, she took her eye away from the scope and looked over at her. She seemed to start a small conversation before butting her eye back to the scope, soon after she was backstabbed by our Spy who then disappeared into thin air.
At least an hour passed before our Heavy approached me with a deadly glare, "Where is Medic? She supposed to heal me." I could see why he was so pissed off; he had a deep cut on his left shoulder and several burns on his clothes that revealed severely burnt skin. "Why don't you just find a health pack? Or you can find where Engiee set up her dispensers." He growled and face showed much more anger, "Do you know how hard it is to go into enemy base and kill people, and going to look for health every five seconds? I'm surprised that I have only died once without her. Plus this heat makes it so much harder to concentrate on all these things at once; now I won't ask you again, WHERE IS SHE?!"
I had to step back because he stomped closer with every yelled word, "If it will shut your big mouth up she's still nauseous from the heat! You would know how she was feeling if you weren't so self absorbed all the time. She follows your orders every single day without healing any of us because of your stupid wants! You've seen it for yourself that you aren't the big baby everyone believes you are, she hasn't been there lately to clean up your dribble and you don't need her to babysit you anymore!" His face went redder with anger and his teeth grinded together; I could just imagine the steam rushing out of his ears.
"You can talk lover boy, I see the way you look at her. I want her to myself because I can quickly destroy little Blu's but you want her to yourself so she can be all yours to love and hold. This is a war skinny man, not a dating party." Heavy seemed to calm down after that yet still angry; he walked off to the medical room, pushing me out of the way as he did so.
