014. Sunlight (Lulz... I put like no effort into pacing this one xD And FTR, Claude ((Mein BLU Spy~)) Rambles when he's nervous xD))
It was a beautiful day for a ceasefire. The sun was shining brightly over a cloudless day, and the temperature was at an unusual low. Both teams agreed to a day of no fighting to enjoy the conditions. Everyone was happy to go out and enjoy the sun on the BLU team. Scout even organized a game of baseball amongst them.
Everyone had joined the game but three, the medic, who was in his office, scribbling on patient files, the Sniper, who no one could find on ceasefire days but he Spy, and the Spy himself... Who was probably with the Sniper.
Which was a truth; he really was with the Sniper... He just didn't know it. Claude had always wondered where Bennett would run off to during ceasefire days.
Claude hadn't in tended to follow the Sniper, he just happened to be going the same direction at the time, on his way to the RED base. His watch told him that he wasn't in much rush for time, as he had at least half an hour until his meeting, and he just couldn't pass up the opportunity to find out what his mysterious friend did on off days...
He didn't seem to do much, of course. In the few minutes Claude watched, he just sat there, sharpening his knife. Claude blinked. Was this really what he did all day? Sharpen his already ungodly sharp knife?
Though every so often he would glance towards the RED base. Like he was waiting for something to happ-
"Vell vhat do vee 'ave 'ere?"
Claude jumped, trying to turn and see who had just whispered so quietly into his ear- though the accent should have been obvious- and backed into a fallen tree trunk all at the same time. Arms flailing, he was unable to find his balance and landed hard on his back. Hard enough to knock the air from his lungs.
"What are you doing here?" Bennett jumped to his feet. The RED Spy chuckled as he uncloaked, foot planted roughly on the BLU Spy's chest.
"Get offa him, would ya?" The RED Spy sent Bennett a look but stepped off, waiting until the BLU Spy could catch his breathe again.
"It seems we 'ave been caught in the act, mon ami." RED shrugged.
"You aren't helpin' much." The Sniper shot back a rather nasty glare. "What were you doing back there, spyin' on me or something?"
"N-non! I mean I vas, but I vas about to leave, I mean I didn't plan on eet, ve vere just going zhe same vay so I zought maybe I vould vatch for a few minutes because ve all vonder vhat you do on ceasefire days, it was just curiosity I svear, eet's not like I vas going to vatch you all day, zat vould be so boring! Er, n-not to say you're boring I just..."
Eventually Bennett cut the rambling Spy off.
"Alright, you made your point. We get it." Claude looked slightly relieved.
"I zhink ve should kill him." And rthen he felt unrelived again. Sure he would respawn, but dieing was still painful...
"That's only a temporay solution. We can't keep killing him. Besides, I'm rather fond of this Spy. Unlike others I know, this one doesn't cheat at cards."
"...cards? You don't want to kill me because I don't cheat at cards? 'Ow insulting!" He crossed his arms and huffed, catching the time on his watch. "Oh merde! I running late! Ve can discuss zis later, yes?"
"Now wait a minute here Spy, you aren't leaving until I know you won't tell on us!"
"...I doubt 'e vill." RED shrugged. "After all, you vere 'eading to my base for your own meeting, veren't you?"
"'O-ow did you-" He caught his mistake and tried to fix it. "I mean, of course I vasn't!" he could tell the others didn't buy it. Especially the RED Spy, who produced a square photo from his pocket.
"You vere going to meet vith zhe ozher Sniper, oui?" The photo showed Claude with the RED Sniper. He snatched at it, but the other Spy drew it away just in time. "I am sure you don't vant zhe ozhers to find out about vis, oui?" Claude nodded grudgeingly. "If you tell zhem about zhis meeting, zen I tell zhen about you and zhe ozther Sniper. Deal?"
"Claude nodded. Oui, I von't tell, I svear."
"You can go zhen." RED handed him the picture. "You've been quite silent, mon ami." He said to Bennett. Claude's curiosity got the better of him again.
"So, are you..."
"Not a chance in hell." Bennett said blankly. "I'll answer your questions later."
"O-oui..." Claude nodded and finally headed towards the RED base, conscious of the two sets of eyes watching him until he was safely cloaked and inside the base, at the meeting point for him and his own Sniper.
Lol that was terrible xD And it kinda veered away from the theme... Oh well. I mentioned sun in the beginning at least~? xD
