Everyone Has Their Weak Spot

Skylar walked through the RED base, gearing up for an upcoming match with the BLUs. Always determined, Skylar Grayson was not a person you wanted to mess with. She knew every way to take a man down, every point that could end someone quick. A true top elite Sniper.

Unfortunately, for every Sniper, there is a Spy. Only this time, it was a new Spy. He started today, so Skylar made sure she had everything ready for any kind of attack. She laced up her boots and put her goggles on her head before heading out to her nest to wait for the start of the match.

The match started and the bodies of Medics and Heavies were everywhere. Skylar smirked, happy to see her side winning and the intelligence being protected. No one knew what was in that briefcase but it sure was important.

Skylar continued to watch out her scope when she heard that all too familiar whooshing noise behind her: a deactivating cloaking device. She spun around to see a BLU Spy with a smug expression on his face. "And what do we have here? Quite the beautiful young thing, non?"

Skylar shoved him away and put one hand on her Kukri. "I'm guessing you're the new Spy? What do you want?"

"Oh, come now, is that really the way to treat one of the best things that happened to you?" He said, coming a bit closer. "Now, what is the beautiful name that accompanies you?"

"The name's S-skylar Gr-grayson…" She said, stuttering a bit and turning a bright shade of red.

"Ah, a beautiful name for a lovely woman. I am Demetri. Now, I'm sorry our meeting must end abruptly but I have a job to do." Demetri brought his pistol up to shoot Skylar but she was quicker, stabbing him right in the neck. As he fell, Skylar quietly cursed herself for being lured in, but she couldn't help feeling a bit flustered at how pretty he thought she was. She was never one to consider herself beautiful, seeing as how most of the boys back at her high school ignored her all the time. She was more used to fighting men and arguing with them, not flirting and being complimented.

That night, Skylar couldn't help but think about the Spy but most of her dreams ended with a bullet in between the eyes.

The next day Skylar was at it again; shooting up anyone who entered her scope. Suddenly, Demetri entered her field of view. She knew this was her chance but her fingers were shaking around the trigger. Skylar knew it was her job to kill anyone in a BLU uniform but something was stopping her from shooting.

The siren was just about to blow, sounding the end of the match, when Demetri appeared behind Skylar. He shoved her up against the wall, making sure she was not able to reach any of her weapons. "You know, war is no place for a beautiful lady."

"S-stop talking to me…" Skylar managed to stutter out.

"Why would I ignore such a beauty? It would be a crime to, non?" Demetri said, watching the blush spread across Skylar's face.

"Y-you really think I'm….. pretty?"

"Of course, love. Now, how about I teach you what a real French kiss is like." All of a sudden, Demetri's lips were up against Skylar's, kissing her and biting her bottom lip. Skylar finally came to her senses and remembered that this was her enemy she was making out with. She pushed him off and hid her quite red face.

"I think they c-called ceasefire…. I think you'd b-better get back to BLU base. " Skylar said, still a bit flustered.

"Very well my dear. I'll return tomorrow, just to see your lovely blushing face again." Demetri said, leaving her nest and walking back to his base, leaving Skylar even more embarrassed.

For the next few weeks, Demetri continued to pop in before ceasefire and Skyler continued to hesitate when he came into her field of view.

Eventually, a few of Skylar's teammates asked her why the Spy was never shot at. "I thought you two were sworn enemies or somethin', toots," the Scout said, "what's up with you? You always brag that you shoot everything you see in BLU, so why not the spy?"

Skylar had to think on her feet now. "Uh, it's just that he cloaks and uncloaks too fast for me to hit. I'll try to hit him next time." No, her inner voice told her, you just want him to tell you that you're pretty again. You know you love it…. and you know you love him.

She tried to block out the inner voice as she took aim down her scope at the Spy. I'm going to make the shot… I'm going to make the shot… She chanted this to herself as she squeezed her eyes shut and fired. Skylar opened them to see the Spy still standing, three inches from where the bullet hit a Medic in the head. She swore Demetri winked at her and cloaked himself, probably coming to see her.

"Now now dear, was it quite necessary to try and blow my brains out?" He asked, pressing Skylar back against the familiar wall.

"I know every part that will kill a man with one shot. I'm just trying to do my job…"

"Well, I know one part that will make a woman melt into my arms."

"W-what?" Skylar stuttered, watching Demetri's hand cup her chin.

"Your heart my love," Demetri leaned in to kiss her and smiled "and I'm sure telling you that you are beautiful helps too."

Skylar smiled and playfully punching him in the arm before the two kissed again.
