"He's a Spy!" Soldier yelled and a little explosion went out when he shot from his rocket launcher. Medic jumped aside to avoid the explosion.
"It's me dummkopf!" He yelled back, standing up from the ground. He didn't know why Soldier stated, that he is the enemy BLU Spy. Soldier was running behind him and aiming on him with the gun.
"You won't fool me, you French bitch!" He started to run faster and tried to catch Medic for his cloak that was floating behind the running German.
"Nein!" Medic pulled his white cloak right before big Soldier's hand could catch it. He made a sharp turn to right behind the concrete building and continued with running. Soldier lost his velocity in the curve and Medic took the lead. He was running out of his forces. He hid in the bush under the tree. He was just praying that he is not so conspicuous to Soldier. But he obviously was. His white cloak was standing out of the limbs.
"Hey, Viktor." Something whispered. Or better someone? Medic looked around himself, but he didn't see anyone.
"Try to look up." The familiar voice whispered again. Medic turned his head and looked to the treetop. There was Liam, sitting on the special platform. Now he was grinning and looking down on terrified and tired doctor.
"Where are you! If you won't come out, I will find you by myself!" They heard Soldier screaming.
"Ou, bad situation. Come here, he won't see you."Said Liam quietly and made a space for his friend. Medic carefully stood up, still looking at the Soldier. He was now tapping the grey concrete walls, looking for the invisible Spy. Viktor tried to climb up, but he was too small.
"Help me, before my own teammate kills me." He whispered desperately. Sniper reached his hand and Viktor caught it. Liam pulled Viktor up to the platform. Then both rested a while. There were leaves all around them. Sunlight was going through the gaps between leaves and it made very amazing patterns on the wooden platform. There was a strange green light in the treetop, because the light was also going through the leaves. They were there, looking at the Soldier who was trying to catch his imaginary Spy.
"I don't know where he was, when zhe God was handing out zhe intelligence." Viktor said and laughed quietly. Sniper smiled.
"So yer Soldier is the same jerk as the BLU one, right?" Sniper stated and leaned back to his rifle. Medic just nodded and watched Sniper aiming intently. He was lying on his stomach, eye pushed on the optics, finger on the trigger just waiting for the shot. His face muscles were tensed and sometimes he licked his lips. But then they heard a rustle in the speakers.
"Victory." They heard from the other side of battlefield. The RED team won for this time. Soldier started to scream out of the happiness and ran away from them. Sniper just frowned. Medic felt a little awkward, when he saw a disappointment on Sniper's face.
"I am sorry." He said quietly. Sniper smiled sincerely.
"Ya don't have to be. Our team will be sad maybe for twenty minutes, and then they'll go to get drunk." Sniper said and sat straight, leaving his rifle on the ground. Medic looked around himself. It was nice place to be.
"You made zis platform by yourself?" He asked. Sniper nodded.
"Yeah, quite a lot of work. The hardest part of that was to make it stable. There is a lot of crappy boards all over here." He said and looked at his rifle.
"Ya wanna try this?" He asked, pointing on the rifle. Viktor looked surprised, but he nodded.
"Yes, I've always wanted to try zhat." He said with enthusiasm in his voice.
"Why that?"
"Because I admire the accuracy of the shooting. It's something that makes me stare with open mouth." He said, maybe a bit shyly. Sniper just smiled again.
"Zo, what I have to do?" Viktor asked tentatively.
"Just lay down, make a comfort and catch the gun." Sniper said and Medic lay down. He put his glasses on his head. He crawled to the gun and caught it like Sniper does.
"Ok, and now put yer eye on the optics of the rifle A few meters away is the fence. There are my old training cans. Ya can shot them if ya want." Medic smiled weakly and looked through the optics. But he couldn't see any can.
"Err…where are zhe cans? I can't see them." He asked quietly. Sniper pointed on the fence.
"There, can't ya see them?" Viktor just shook his head.
"No. Without my glasses I don't see very well." He said. Sniper leaned next to him. He looked at the cans and then gently touched Viktor's face and turned it to the right direction. A little shiver went through Medic's body, but he didn't know why. Maybe Sniper touched him on sensitive place, that's why it sent those feel down his body.
"Now ya can shot." Sniper said and stood next to his friend, watching his careful moves around the shotgun. Medic aimed and when he was sure, that he will hit the can, he fired. They heard a loud clink and one can fell down. Medic felt the strike back of the gun. He smiled and aimed on the other can. He shoot that again. Sniper smiled. Medic aimed on the third can, but he was a little hasty and the bullet shot from the rifle rebounded and went through the window on RED's base. Also there was quite big distance between two bases, they could clearly hear the painful scream of somebody, that took the bullet.
"Zu ficken." Viktor swored and stood up quickly. Sniper followed him with his gaze.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go. You heard zhat, somebody will be waiting for me." He said and dusted his pants. Sniper just nodded and waved him when he was leaving. He was watching his black hair disappear and heard quiet hit when he jumped down from the platform. Suddenly, he felt an unusual feeling on his heart. He felt pain. Like some hand was squeezing his heart and pulling it down his chest. He touched his chest and felt his heartbeat. His heart was beating very fast. He felt a little sweat going down his forehead and back.
"Oh shit" he thought.
"Heart attack." He stood up very slowly and left his rifle on the platform. He slowly climbed down and went to the BLU base. His head ached and he felt confused. He entered the building and went to BLU Medic's surgery room. There was nobody in the waiting room, so he entered the surgery room. Doctor was standing there with Demoman. He was bulling out the bullet from the black man's arm. Demoman was just gritting his teeth and sometimes he hissed out of pain. When Sniper entered, both looked at him. Demoman with surprise, Medic with anger.
"Don't you know how to knock?" He said loudly and angrily.
"Am sorry doc, I thought there's nobody here." Said Liam.
"But I think that I have a heart attack." He continued and looked at the German with pleading eyes. But he just shook his head.
"No, no, no. Demoman was first here. And if it really is a heart attack, you still have thirty minutes of life. I will be finished quickly with this guy." He said and pointed at Demoman.
"Ye'r better kidding me, doc. I am going to die!" Sniper shouted at him.
"Silence! This will just take five more minutes!" Medic said and gestured Liam to go out. Liam just rolled his eyes and went back to the waiting room. He lied on three chairs standing next to each other and tried to relax. His heart was beating quickly and he felt the pressure on his chest.
"Am not going to die, there are still my friends who will miss me."He muttered for himself.
"Scout would miss me, Engy would miss me, Pyro would miss me…And of course, RED Medic would miss me." He said his name and the imaginary hand squeezed his heart harder. He hissed out of pain and grabbed his shirt.
"Yer' not gonna die, Liam."He whispered for himself. Those five minutes were like five hours. Sniper was scared, he bowed himself, his knees were under his chin and his hands were still on his chest. But then finally Demoman went out of the surgery room. Medic followed him, but then he went towards Liam lying on the chairs. He put his fingers on Sniper's carotid artery and checked his pulse. Then he frowned. He helped Liam to stand up and guided him to the surgery room.
"Take down your top." He said quickly and cleaned the operating table. Sniper slowly put his vest and shirt down and put it on the chair, which was standing in the corner of the room.
"Lie here." Medic said and attached the medigun on the special hanger. He turned it on. Sniper was already lying on the metal table when the blue ray hit his chest. Medic washed his hands and took the scalpel. He made a cut in the middle of Sniper's chest and stretched it, so Liam should see his muscles.
"Wait, I shouldn't be awake for this, right?" He asked Medic with suspicious tone in his voice. Medic just glared at him with 'shut up or I will sew something ugly in your chest' face and continued with cutting Liam's tissue. Then he grabbed the rib spreader and opened Sniper's chest to he can see everything. Sniper looked in his chest and saw two pink lungs, breathing quickly and the tip of his heart. Medic's hands went inside and grabbed Sniper's heart carefully. He turned it a bit. Sniper felt sick. It was weird to see his own heart outside it's regular place in hands of his doctor. Medic frowned. He put Liam's heart back to it's place.
"False alarm. You are totally healthy." He said and removed the rib spreader from Liam's ribcage. Then he switched the little switcher on his medigun and it started to heal Sniper's cut.
"So why I felt those strange feelings?" Sniper asked him. Medic was already washing his hands again. He looked very nervous. He hit the sink.
"What feelings." He said angrily without turning his face to the Australian. Liam started to worry about him.
"Pain and pressure around my heart, elevated heartbeat, sweating…" Hesaid and looked at the German dressed in the azure lab cloak. He shook his head again and shrugged his arms.
"I don't know, maybe…you fell in love, I don't really know." Sniper looked at him with weird expression.
"What's the matter, doc?" He asked quietly and stood up from the metal table. He started to dress up again. Medic finally looked at him.
"Not your business. Bitte, can you leave me alone?" He said and Sniper nodded. He left the surgery room. He was walking along the hallway and there was one sentence in his head. Medic probably said it, because it was the first thing that was on his mind. But it was something that scared Sniper a little, because all the feelings started when Viktor left him there.
Maybe you fell in love.
Fell in love.
