Scout was hiding, holding his shoulder after he was shot by the enemy Scout. At least he wasn't dead, which was nice, respawn wasn't a pleasant experience, even after all those time. He did try to call for Medic, but he figured the German doctor was far away from where he was right now.
He was ready to try and go look for him, when he saw a Pyro a couple feet away from him. The pyromaniac must have seen him too, because he was heading his way. Scout then jumped to his feet, not ready to finish burned alive.
The runner was ready to run and try do find the doctor, but stop in his track when he heard a gun shot and saw soon after the BLU fall to the ground. He turn in direction of where it seem to have come, a smile growing on his face. Still hiding, he trying to figure out where was the Aussie. At the end, he only choice to check every nest, with chance his first guess was the right one.
So he run toward the tower, staying mostly out of view from other enemies. It wasn't long before he arrived at the ladder, climbing it quickly, not really watching the sound he was making. Well, like this there was less chance to let Sniper think he was the BLU Spy trying to backstab him. Still, once he was at the top, he wave his bat, letting him know he was there. Let say he experience in the past what it result to spook Sniper, he nearly send him to the respawn.
Soon enough he pass his head through the trapdoor too, flashing a smile to Sniper. He saw the Aussie relaxing and moving away from the window while he was getting inside the nest. "Whot do you want?" he heard the man ask. Scout supposed he wasn't expecting anyone to come pay him a visit, especially not someone of his own team.
"I was close by when I got shot, Medic at the other end of the map" he started. "I was tryin' to go to the capture point to help the other after I took care of their Demoman. But suddenly their Scout poped out from nowhere and shot me, I got away easily without dying, really wanted to bash his head with my bat, but he injured my right shoulder so it a little difficult to actually do anything about it. Knew I was close to where ya normally stay and though ya could help me". All the time Sniper had stay silent, not exactly a surprise to him, whenever he was talking to him Sniper was only adding from time to time something. "So yeah, 'was thinkin' ya might have somethin' to help until I find doc" finally finish Scout.
There was some silence while Sniper was looking for his injury. He only smiled more when he saw him making a sigh that he could come sitting next to him. He then quickly make his way toward the wooden case next to Sniper, thanking him happily for helping.
"How did you find me?" he heard the Aussie ask while picking up his bag and looking for bandages in it. He didn't really asked why he had some in the first place, pretty happy that he did have some. Otherwise he could have look on the map where there was healing box, but it has been a while since they came here, so he didn't remember perfectly.
"I saw their Pyro getting shot in the head, I guessed where ya might be" answer the Bostonian while taking of his shirt. He supposed it would help the other if he didn't at his red shirt in the way. He couldn't stay silent for too long, it was just stronger than him, he had to much energy to just stay still and not talking. So he started to talk about the kill he manage trough this game, the death he had, how he did capture two point out of four. Some he would let a complain to Sniper who was trying to get the bullet out of his shoulder. It was clearly not a pleasing sensation.
At least it didn't took to long and he could now feel the older man sort of cleaning the blood the best he could, even if soon enough more blood was messing his skin. At some point he felt the Aussie had stop moving. Curious he stop his monologue and look toward him, then to what he seem to be looking at. "Oh, ya found my mark, not that manly uh?" he laugh to himself.
He never exactly loved his mark, to him it was too... girly? A flower, come on, he could have had better in his opinion. Though, he had to admit he didn't disliked it as much as when he was a kid. A couple of his brother did have really cool pattern for mark. Soon enough, it was what he was talking about, describing them all, happy to have the chance to talk about his brother.
He didn't notice the surprise and confusion in Sniper eyes, just babbling about his brother. He stop himself when he heard the Australian say that he had finish and took a look at what he had done. Well, it should at least stop the blood until he could find Medic, he was not going to die from blood lost at least.
The bushman was already back in his spot and ready to shot when Scout turn to him after pulling back on his shirt. "Thank's Snipes" he told him while starting to get down the ladder. Now he was ready to go back on the battlefield and find their doctor.
A couple of weeks pass and he started to notice change in Sniper behaviour. Sure, the man wasn't really one to come and chat or pass time with them in the base, but Sniper had start to simply not come at all. He even notice that Sniper board had start going a little badly, dying more than he was making kill, which was suspicious. At first he though he may be imagining thing and worrying for nothing, but soon enough even the other started to notice it.
Even when he was paying the man a visit to talk he could see change. Sniper seem really tired, as in it look like he was going to fall asleep in his face. Hell, the Aussie wasn't really one to talk a lot when he came, but he was even more silent than he was normally. At some point he was asking himself if he was even listening to him.
So after probably two week of that bullshit, he finally asked him. He hadn't really ask since he notice, mostly because he knew Medic must have been asking a lot. But he couldn't stand seeing his friend like this. "Yo Snipes, what wrong with ya?" he ask, surprising a little the man because they were silence since some time.
"Nothin' wrong... don't see why you ask" answer the man. Scout couldn't really believe those words, Sniper was looking like he was about to collapse or even be sick. How could someone believe everything was fine when the person saying it was like this?
"Come on man" he then said, not letting it go that easily. "I'm not blind, you look like shit" he add, only hearing a mumble 'thank's ' to his comment. "No seriously, ya need to go see doc".
"I said I was fine" reply Sniper a little firmer this time, visibly starting to get annoyed. Scout was surprise, he never really saw Sniper starting to get annoyed, other than with Spy, but Spy was just annoying it was not the same thing. Sniper was a patient man, hell he was passing time with Scout, if this wasn't a proof of it. So it was weird to see the man starting to get annoyed over him when he was just concern.
"I know ya don't like to go see doc more than you need, but you need to admit your not doing fine" he continued anyway. "Your stats had started to get down, how can ya say you're doin' fine?" added Scout.
He was about to add other things he had notice, but was cut by Sniper. "I say I was bloody fine, stop it" he had said, a little louder than before, clearly annoyed. Scout couldn't add anything, simply surprised. Never had Sniper got pissed at him, never had he even rise his voice at him. It wasn't rise that much, but it still surprised the Bostonian.
Silence was now filling the camper, tense and uncomfortable, not like the silence was normally with the Aussie. After some time he heard Sniper sigh. "Sorry, it just... I want to be left alone for now". Scout only nod, not really knowing what he could say anyway. He then just stand up and made his way out of the camper.
Was he just kicked out of Sniper's house? It never happened before and even if it had, it would never had been like this. He just made his way toward the base, going to the rec room. He was salute by Medic and Heavy who were watching something on tv.
"Is lill' Scout okay?" asked Heavy with worry when he took a look at him. "Something bad happen vith herr Sniper?" asked Medic just after.
Scout was standing beside the coach, still a little lost. "Er... Snipes kicked me out of his camper?" he say, practically more like a question than a reply to the other question. Even the two European were looking surprise at that new. They though that the two of them were getting along well together.
"Vhat happen?" ask the doctor when he wasn't saying more. "I told him he should go and see you" reply Scout while scratching the back of his neck. "Then he got angry at me and told me he wanted to be left alone".
"I see" hummed the German, seeming to think about it. At the end, even the two other didn't seem to have any idea of why Sniper was acting like this.
"It okay, I'm sure it will pass" smile Scout, even if he didn't sounded that convince. Maybe he just did something that had made Sniper angry. Or then he was sick or something like this. Well, he was certainly sick, but he couldn't understand why he wouldn't go see Medic for that.
At the end he just sigh, joining the duo in watching tv after they ask if he would like to do so. Maybe he could try to speak to Sniper in a couple of days.
Two weeks must have pass again and nothing from Sniper. Actually, they just never saw him out of his camper once the mission was over. Hell, at some point some were asking themselves if the Aussie was even participating in the mission because he wasn't doing much. It was surprising that the Administrator hadn't say anything about it yet, since his performance was pretty bad for quite some weeks now. Maybe it was showing on his pay?
He had time to think about how he felt. He couldn't get why he was feeling so hurt by the idea of Sniper not wanting to see him anymore. After all it never did that with the other, it was annoying and sometime making him a little upset that they wouldn't give him more attention, but with Sniper it wasn't the same. He told him it was only because he was seeing him as a good friend, that was why. He couldn't see why otherwise.
The next time he actually saw him out off mission or of the locker room was when Sniper suddenly showed up in the kitchen. Everyone had turn to him a little surprise, a couple greeting him, including Scout of course. He was actually hoping to be able to talk a little with Sniper and know if he was doing better.
Well, better was clearly not what he would say when he saw him. The Aussie looked even worse than the last time he saw him. Did he eat at least? He was looking like he hadn't eat in some days.
Scout was practically jumping on his chair as he was waiting at the table, wanting to go and talk to Sniper. His behaviour didn't pass unseen from Spy sitting not so far away from him, telling him that he was better going to talk to him than jumping next to them. He would have start arguing with him if he wasn't already on his feet to go to the kitchen.
Actually, he didn't really had the time to talk to Sniper, something was already going on, as he could hear Medic asking Sniper if he was okay. Soon enough, those simple question became more worried, until he enter to kitchen to Medic telling Heavy to catch the Aussie. "Sniper!" He yelled surprise, practically running to them in the small space.
All the thing happening next were pretty fast. Some of the other mercenaries had come to take a look, curious. Medic was asking Heavy to take their teammate to the medic-bay. Scout was only turning around them while following, asking the doctor what was wrong and why Sniper had suddenly black out. He had to stop when the German asked him to, clearly getting on his nerve.
Once in the infirmary he had to let Medic work and try to understand why Sniper had suddenly faint. He was force to stay on a chair, his right leg jumping while he was looking from afar. He couldn't understand what were the German words Medic was muttering under his breath, but by his expression it wasn't good.
He could finally sit next to the bed when he was finish. "Is he goin' to be okay?" ask the runner while watching the unconscious Sniper. "After I talk to him, he should" reply the doctor. "But only if herr Sniper is villing to listen to me".
He was about to ask another question about Sniper state, but saw him open his eyes. "What the fuck man! What happen, why did ya faint in the kitchen?!" he yelled next to him, not thinking about the fact that Sniper head might hurt.
He didn't get anything from the Aussie, only a movement from the head toward him, even if Sniper was looking right next to him. He was so focus on Sniper that he was surprise when it was Medic whom answered is question "Seem like herr Sniper vas in lack of sleep and didn't eat correctly in some days". Scout couldn't help being even more worried, since the doctor sounded so serious about it, taking the Aussie face to examine him. He was a little surprise that Sniper didn't try to move away at the contact. Well, he had to admit, having Medic this angry at him was a pretty good reason to not move when he was trying to check what was wrong with you.
"Vhat happen vith your eyes?" was the next thing coming from the German, even if he didn't seem to be expecting any answer from his colleague. "They are out of focus, as if you couldn't see me". Both the Bostonian and the doctor were waiting attentively for any respond from Sniper, even if the "I dunno" they got wasn't satisfying enough. How could Sniper not know what was wrong with his eyes? They were something super important for his job, he had to be taking care of them, no?
Scout followed Medic with his eyes as the German was now letting go of the anxious bushman, stepping back a little, thinking. The silence was heavy, the runner doing is best not to ask too many question to the already angry man. "Vell, seem like you are blind, mein friend, but vhy?".
The batter couldn't believe what he was hearing. Sniper blind? "Snipes blind now? How come? How he gonna do his job?" did he ask quickly after the reveal, his voice charge with concern and not letting place for any of the men to actually answer him. Scout was starting to not being able to restraint from asking a lot of question when no one gave him answer. He was about to crack when someone on the other side of the room speak before he could do it.
"I might know why" said the voice with an annoying french accent. Scout turn to Spy, curious to know what the man knew about it. "Docteur, I could explain everything to you" said the man while walking toward them, arm cross behind him "But I am not one to divulge secret" he add. Scout wanted to get angry at the Frenchman for not telling, but at the same time, he knew how Spy was working and he couldn't complain too much, the man did had stuff about him.
The room then fell silent, both Spy and Scout turning to Medic, Sniper staring in the void. The man was the one suppose to look for their health, so it was him who had to figured out what Sniper was going through. It stayed like this for many minutes, until Medic was the one the break it. "I vant both of you out, I need to speak vith my patient".
Scout suddenly stood up, wanting to protest because he too wanted to know what was going on with Sniper. He didn't really had the time to actually do it, since Spy was grabbing him and dragged him toward the door. "We are going to have a little chat" simply said the man while Scout was asking him to stop. He could hear Sniper yelling something about Spy keeping his mouth shut. Why was he feeling like what was happening to Sniper, Spy didn't just learn about it by sneaking on him? He feel angry that Sniper talk about it with the European, but not him.
He kept yelling at the Frenchman to let him go, only getting is request done when they where at the other end of the corridor, too far away to hear anything from inside the infirmary. Scout was starting to be confused and angry, not understanding why he couldn't know how Sniper got like this. He was also angry that the stupid spy knew more than him about it.
"What do ya know?" He then ask, looking angrily at Spy. The man didn't answer him right away, taking his time to light a cigarette. "I won't tell you since I promise our camarade not to tell anyone" simply answer the man.
So he was right, Sniper did told him the reason of his sickness, but had kick him out of his van? He was pissed at that thought. Wasn't those two like dog and cat? Why would Sniper prefer talking about what he was going through with Spy but not with him, weren't they friend?
"Scout" he heard, the older man calling for his attention, taking him out of his angry thought. "I can't tell you what I know, but I can ask you to not react baldy to what he might tell you" started the man.
Now the runner was just even more confused by the situation. Why would he react baldy to what Sniper might have to tell him? What did he had to say that could make him react badly? He couldn't imagine what could cause him to react like this. "Why would I react badly?" asked Scout.
"For now it doesn't matter, just don't do that, we don't need him to keep being useless on the battlefield" simply respond Spy. Scout couldn't ask even more, since his attention was grasp by the sound of the door opening and footsteps coming toward them.
He turn, only to see Medic walking toward them, his expression a mixed between annoyed and exasperate. He stop once he reach them, turning to Scout "You can go back, herr Sniper has something to say" he simply said.
It wasn't long before Scout start jogging to the door, trying not to run since he knew Medic didn't wanted them to run in his infirmary. He ignored Medic starting to turn the corner with the Frenchman, seeming to rant on why he didn't told him if he knew whatever he knew about the situation. He was still too preoccupied by what the spy had told him to be interested in that ranting German.
Once inside he walk rapidly toward his chair, sitting in front of Sniper, trying to be the most in front of him possible so the man didn't had to search for him. "Got somethin' to say to me?" he ask, pushing at the back of his head the confusion and frustration Spy had put in him with his request. "What they told me".
He then simply waited for Sniper to answer, a little surprised when he saw him tense at his question. He could see him trying to start, even if nothing could come out all the time he opened his mouth. What did he had to say that was so difficult form him to start? He knew the bushman could sometime have difficulty to put into word what he was thinking, but not like this.
"Yeah I do" seem to finally start Sniper, even if he paused directly after. "But before... just keep in mind whot I got to say don't need to change anything". Now Scout was simply getting even more confuse than before. Why would anything he had to tell him change anything? God, they all were so confusing by not telling him. Well, he guessed that he was about to know, but still, it was so confusing to him. He had to restraint himself to actually ask him why, knowing that it wold only cut the Aussie on his speach.
"So... this might not please you and you might not believe me" seem to warn Sniper, only making his confusing growing. There was a silence, before he could heard the man whispered "I'm your... soulmate".
Then Scout froze, looking at Sniper whom was looking away, even thought he couldn't actually see him. He for some second didn't knew if he heard correctly, but he knew that even if it was nearly whispered, he had heard correctly in the silence of the room. Then he thought that the man was just joking with him. Sure it wasn't the best joke, but Sniper wasn't really good with joke either.
He then started to laugh, sure that the man was actually kidding and joking, "This is a really good joke Snipes practically believed you here". He continued to laugh, soon noticing that the other man wasn't laughing nor even smiling, still looking to the side. As his laughter were slowly dying, he simply ask "You're jokin' right?", this time a nervous laugh escaping his mouth.
He could see the older one hesitate in the movement of his hand, seeing them barely leaving the border of the bed, only to fully move to his left sleeve once he seem to have made a decision. He looked at him rolling up his sleeve, feeling nervousness and apprehension growing inside him. Then he saw the flower and the circle, only confirming that the other wasn't joking around. "I'm sorry mate" he could heard, before Sniper start looking down while adding "I know it not whot you expected".
And Scout stayed silent at that proof, just not knowing how to react. He could only heard back Spy asking him not to react badly, so he was stating silent to make sure that he wouldn't say something bad. His silence didn't seem to fit well with the Aussie, since he tried to talk again "Like I said, nothin' need to change". But still nothing, it took even more silence before he ask if the runner was okay.
"Y-yeah, sure... hum, I just remember, got somethin' to do" he answer, suddenly standing up, nearly knocking over the chair he was sitting on. He didn't let time for the other to ask him another question, nearly running out of the room, but keep walking fast instead.
It only once outside the room that he started to run, suddenly needing to go outside. He didn't wanted to deal with all the feeling and thinking that had appeared in him after that confession. He just wanted to run and empty his head for now, he didn't anted to think about it, still to shock by the whole situation.
He just couldn't believe it...
It has took him hours before he was back to his room. He had run so much around the base that his body was too tired to do anything but fall in his bed and do nothing more. Even if he was tired he couldn't try to fall asleep, the thoughts and emotions from before simply coming back to him.
He at first was still in shock and didn't wanted to believe it, But how could he denied it if the proof was there on Sniper arm? Plus, when he thought about it, the man wasn't one to joke about that kind of thing, especially with how most people seem to find soulmate really important.
And yet, it took him two whole days of thinking before accepting the fact. How could he accept it easily when his whole life people around had told him he was going to find his soulmate, that it would be a cute girl around his age, that they would be perfect for each other and live happy ever after. Never ever told him that his soulmate could be a MAN, probably twice his age and that was killing people for a living. Well, he guess he couldn't talk too much about the last part since he was doing this himself.
After total denying came confusion with little denying. Why was he bond to Sniper? He didn't liked man, he even had a crush on miss Pauling, if this wasn't enough to show how much he loved woman. Well, in the same time, he never actually ask himself if he could actually like a man and never really looked at them to see if he could be attracted. But still, he believed that he loved woman, so why would his soulmate be a man?
Then anger came in the game. He was angry that all he was ever told was just false and that his expectation were killed. He was also angry because it took so long for the Aussie to told him that he had start being blind. It was making him angry because he was asking himself if the man would ever have told him if it hadn't came that far. And he was still angry that he had told Spy before even telling him.
It took him a whole week before the anger was gone, now only stuck with confusion. How was he feeling toward Sniper? He had always seen him as a close friend, or well he supposed so. Difficult to say when he had pass all his time avoiding Sniper, either out of anger or awkwardness. He maybe needed to speak with someone, but who?
He was taking off the list all the other merc who didn't knew about it, or at least hope didn't knew about it. So he only had the choice between the Medic and Spy. Honestly, the choice was way too simply on this one. He didn't wanted to ask Spy for help, only knowing that either the man would refuse or he was going to piss him off. So his choice was settle on Medic, the man still sounding like a good option to him.
This is why he was now in front of the door of his office, a room connected to the infirmary, ready to bother him. He hesitantly knock on the door, waiting for the German to respond, knowing the man wasn't too keen on people entering in his office without permission. He only step in when he heard Medic telling him to, going for the chair that was in front of the desk where was sitting the man.
"Vhat did you do this time?" simply ask the German without looking up from his paper, visibly sure that Scout had injured himself. The Bostonian tried not to be offended be the question, he wasn't always injuring himself. At the same time, he supposed that most people coming for the man in his office was for that, so he suppose it was not personal.
"I... need help about something" he simply started, only gaining some humming from the man who was still writing something down inciting him to continue. "It's about the whole soulmate thing" he specified, then seeing the hand stop writing and Medic looking up at him, visibly fully listening now. "This is not fully settle?" asked the older man, only knowing for sure that Sniper had told the younger one. He should probably have follow closer about it.
"Well, not really" admitted Scout. He say Medic putting down his pen, joining his hand together while leaning back on his chair "I guess you vant me to help you know vhat to do" he simply stated. He receive a nod from Scout. The German then made a sign of the hand, showing him that he could start, knowing that Scout might talk a lot.
And he wasn't wrong. Scout told him all he had been thinking about since Sniper finally told him. It took quite some time with how Scout was often putting into two or three sentences something that could be said in one. From time to time Medic was asking question, but mostly he was listening. Scout did told him about his relation with the bushman, of how he was normally acting with him and what he liked to do with him.
Scout finally conclude with a "This is pretty much all". He was looking at Medic expectantly, not even knowing if the other one could help him with that. The man seem to think about all he had told him. The silence was starting to stress Scout who was doing his best not to speak and ask question, his leg jumping without him knowing.
"Are you disgusted from being soulmate vith him?" finally asked Medic, looking at him. The question had taken him by surprise, not expecting it. Scout didn't take time to come up with a answer "No". He wasn't disgusted either, it not as if Sniper was someone completely repulsing, and well, even if he was a man... somehow he wasn't finding it disgusting other than if he was trying to find reason to.
Medic then simply hummed at his answer, seeming somehow reassured by his answer. "Are you feeling any anger from being his soulmate". He wasn't so surprise this time, only thinking about it. Sure, like he had told the German, he at some point at been angry about it, but right now he didn't exactly minded it. "Not anymore" he then answer.
"Do you think Sniper could be a bad soulmate?". Scout was surprise, then respond immediately "'course not! He has always accept to help me if I had problem and was staying with me when I needed to be with someone, even if he's not good with people I can see he try to make me comfortable and avoid thing I might not like, He even buy me some of my fav snack for when I come, he let me... why are you smiling like this doc?". Scout had to stop himself in his monologue on how well Sniper was treating him and how well he could be. Of course he couldn't be a bad soulmate if he was already acting like this. But he stopped when he noticed that the doctor had started smiling while listening, seeming even amused by him.
"Can it make you happy to think you are his soulmate and that he might treat you even more vell?" asked the man, still smiling at the younger one. Scout didn't knew what to say at first. He was happy with how Sniper was treating him and he didn't knew why it would change. He had to admit, somewhere deep down, now that he was thinking about it, it was making him happy to think that Sniper might treat him just as well, if not even a little more. "Well... yeah" he answer.
Then Medic didn't seem to have more question to him, only smiling gently at him, seeming to wait to see if Scout might need more help. The runner had to say, the man had help with only asking some question, it was better than the disorganized way of thinking that Scout had. The Bostonian then thanked him for his help, announcing that he was leaving. "Bitte,I vas happy to help".
Scout finally leave, now a little more sure about how he was feeling, he still had some things to think about, but it was already better. He thought that it might be a good idea to see Sniper soon.
It took him a couple of days after his visit to Medic, but he was now pretty sure of what he wanted to do about this situation and was now ready to face Sniper. He was going at night after he finished a game with Pyro, walking towards the Aussie van. He knew he wouldn't have to knock since he saw him on the roof top when he was looking through a window a couple minutes ago.
Once at the camper, he found the ladder, starting to climb already, knowing that he might chicken out otherwise. Once he was able to see Sniper he stopped, not sure if the man wanted to see him now. After all, he did pass the last two weeks or so to avoid him, and he himself had to admit that he wasn't that subtle while doing so. Maybe Sniper was angry at him for doing so? Maybe he didn't wanted to see him?
Still, he offered a unsure smile to the surprised bushman "Hey" he saluted him before adding "You have some time to talk?". He was at first answered with silence, which became pretty awkward after some second. I was relieved when he saw Sniper sitting up and indicating that he could come up here with him.
Scout then didn't wasted time to finish climbing up on the roof, sitting next to Sniper while letting some space to the man. He stayed like this in silence for a couple of minutes, taking the time to relax a little and correctly arranging his thought.
"I did some thinkin'" finally started Scout, looking into the horizon "You know, about the whole soulmate thing" he precise even if he knew Sniper knew about that. Still, while looking sideways at him he saw him nodding, showing that he was listening to him.
"I'm gonna be honest, I was shock and angry at first" admit Scout. "'cause you know, everyone tellin' ya you would get some cute girl, marrying her and havin' kid, well it what I was told". While thinking about it he sometime would remember how his mother often told him that, but he guess it wouldn't happen to him.
"So yeah, I was shock to hear ya were my soulmate and angry because it wasn't what I expected. Well angry too because you fuckin' keep that for yourself for like what, more than a month?" He took a pause, sighing a little, calming himself. He didn't wanted to get angry, but it was something that had bother him that he had keep it for himself so long, especially with what it had done to him. "So yeah, after that I got... confused, didn't knew how I should feel about you, 'cause you know, I was seeing you as a friend".
He was still a little confused about all of this, but he was way better grounded now than when he started asking himself what he was feeling for the man. "So I thought about it, 'cause I realize havin' you as my soulmate didn't bothered me that much in the end... it uh... even made me happy when I think about it". It was a little unnerving not to get any reacting from Sniper, at the same time, he knew the man wasn't the most expressive one, nor was he one to talk a lot or cut people who were talking. "Talk with Medic a little, since there was no way I was talkin' of that with Spy. The doc made me think about it, askin' myself about what i was feelin' for you".
Once he finish his last sentence he took a pause, suddenly a little hesitant. He took a breath, he wasn't going to change his mind now, he knew what he wanted to try, he knew that he wouldn't regret his choice, he didn't had a reason to hesitate. "I'm still not entirely sure of what I figured out, but... I though that, well, I wouldn't mind... you know, tyrin' to be with you".
He then waited for the Aussie respond, which didn't came. Instead Sniper was looking at him surprised. This didn't help Scout to relax more about his choice. He was worried not that maybe the other didn't wanted something like this "W-well I mean, only if you want to try, I wouldn't want you to do something that would make you uncomfortable because maybe you don't-".
"Y-yeah!" he was suddenly cut of by Sniper responding loudly, surprising him. He wasn't used to Sniper speaker loud, but this time he didn't minded it since it wasn't to push him away, making him smile, relieve that he wanted to try this too.
He then approached Sniper, not really thinking too much before hugging him. He knew the man wasn't used to affection – which showed by how long it took him to reciprocate the embrace – but he really wanted one and by the smile that Sniper had he must be doing so himself.
While they stayed silent he was thinking that he had made a good choice by proposing that. He felt like he could love the man other than just as a friend.
There's a lot of french (because I like to think that Spy would slip some french part when he speak, just to confuse the others sometime), here the translation:
Quoi?!= What?!
