NOTE: Pyro fic time! For the record, I love the Pyro for reasons. Also, as a side thing, not both of my Pyros are girls, just this one... because why not? :P I don't think I've said anything about this before, but I don't have any kind of BETA reader or anything, or please forgive any grammar/spelling/word mistakes. If anyone wants to BETA for me, fantastic. Until then, I am sorry for any and all mistakes. Anywho... enjoy! :D
Pairings: Not really any. Very slightly implied Pyro liking Engie.
Disclaimer: I do not own Team Fortress 2 or the characters/world therein. Just saying.
HORNS
The smell of flammable liquids and burnt hair and skin seemed to be permanently surrounding the Pyro, no matter how many times respawn brought her back to life. She didn't mind the smells, though. They were comforting to the possibly chemically imbalanced girl. Burning things was her passion and her life and she was proud to carry the stench of it around with her.
Her hobby, on the other hand, was terrorizing her enemies- especially that damn BLU Spy who was always trying to slip past her and into the base. It was a hobby she took very seriously, the same way the Scout took his little baseball thing seriously, or Engie and his toys. It was probably closer to the Texan and his toys, actually. She had never seen the Scout construct something for baseball purposes.
The Pyro rolled her eyes at the thought of that boy doing anything useful as she worked on her latest project. It took a surprising amount of time to make sure they looked just right and could be secured onto the mask properly without risk of falling off in the middle of the day as she was running around and burning things, but it was worth it. Oh. So. Worth it.
With a triumphant cheer that was muffled by the gas mask that hid her wild grin, the Pyro held two small objects up for inspection.
"What ya got there, partner?" Came her team mate's easy voice and slow accent. The Engineer had been glancing over every so often as she used space in his work shop for her little project, partially out of curiosity and partially to make sure nothing was going to be burnt to the ground by the firebug.
More muffled sounds and the Pyro attached her two finished products to her gas mask, glad that they went on as easily as they were supposed and were doing a fine job of staying. She watched the Engineer stare at her a moment, loving the small smile that crossed his face- he really was her favorite team mate and moments like this only reinforced that opinion. She gave him the thumbs up.
Engie let out a low whistle and said, "That does look mighty fine." He nodded his approval at the two little horns now sitting on the Pyro's head.
The Spy had called her a soulless monster once before, so she was now determined to prove him right and looking the part certainly couldn't hurt that.
