The two of you chatted for a long while, and you completely lost track of time. Only when the light began to darken did you realize how late it was. "Oh my God, what time is it?" You asked Luc.

"Eet is... 9:30 in ze night."

"SH*T!" You yelled, jumping to your feet. "I gotta get back!"

Luc frowned. "'Ou'd better 'hurry, mon ami... until next time, oui?"

"Yeah... I had fun... see ya next time!" You called over your shoulder, sprinting down the tunnel and into the base.

Weary and out of breath, you stopped in front of the closed rec room door, where you could hear voices inside.

"Maybe ze respawn does not work on her? Herr Engineer, doesn't it work on everybody inside ze base?"

"Yeah, but maybe there's an exception? Ah don't know..."

"NO!" Scout? Why was he yelling? "She can't be dead!"

"Why not, mon ami?"

"BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET TO FRACKING APOLOGIZE FOR BEIN' A DICK!"

"Wait... Wot? Scout's apologizin' for bein' rude t'someone? Well, that's new... Woi are ya' wantin' to apologize all of a sudden, mate?"

"Because... I dunno..." Scout paused.

"Well... if we ever do see her again, I'm sure the wee laddy can apologize t'her..." Demo said quietly.

You couldn't take it any more. Pushing the door open, you walked into the rec room.

Everybody turned, and Scout's eyes all but bugged out of his head. "(F/N)! YOU'RE ALIVE!" he yelled, jumping off the couch and racing over to you.

He hugged you tightly, whispering in your ear. "I- we- thought you were gone for good..."

You smiled. "I'm fine... I'm getting your clothes all wet though..."

He rolled his eyes. "We thought you were dead for five frahking hours! AND ALL YOU SAY IS 'I'M GETTING YOUR CLOTHES WET?'" He yelled.

"Scout... They're staring..." You whispered.

He blushed and stepped back, releasing you. "Sorry..."

"S'okay..." You mumbled.

By now the rest of the team had stood up, and had surrounded you and Scout. Suddenly, you were swept up in a new pair of arms, these much bigger and thicker. "LEETLE GIRL IS ALIVE!" Heavy cried, holding you tightly.

"H-heavy... I can't breathe..." You coughed, lungs still weak from inhaling water earlier.

"Heavy... Put her down..." Medic said quietly.

Heavy released you and you dropped the foot or so to the ground, coughing a little.

"Aye, lassie! What happened?" Demoman asked.

You yawned, suddenly tired. "Can I tell you guys in the morning? I'm super tired..."

"Of course, Sheila! Go rest up, we'll see you in the morning." Sniper grinned.

"Thanks guys..." You said before heading out of the rec room and down the long hallway.

"Hey! (F/N)! Wait up! I need to talk to you!" Scout cried, running after you.

You stopped in front of your door and waited for him to catch up.

"(F/N)... I ah... never really got to thank you... for... savin' my life... Medic said if ya' hadn't found me, I woulda' gone into a coma n' then died... So... I guess I owe ya' my life now, eh?" He chuckled weakly. "And- and I'm sorry for bein' such a dick to ya... I wasn't thinkin' straight..."

You leaned forwards, kissing the tip of his nose quickly. "I forgive you..." You whispered, before you disappeared into your room, closing the door gently behind you.

-Scout's POV-

"...I wasn't thinkin' straight..." I finished, looking at her and blushing slightly. Honestly, I felt like a total jerk, and I was scared she wouldn't forgive me.

All of a sudden, she leaned forwards, kissed my nose, and quietly whispered. "I forgive you..." before she disappeared into her room. I stood there in the hall for a minute or two, blushing and replaying what just happened in my head multiple times.

I headed into my own room, and fell asleep almost immediately.
