Another week has already run away. Liam hasn't seen Viktor for relatively long time and he started to miss him. And he didn't know status of their relationship. Were they really lovers? Or was it just one night freak out? These were the questions floating all over his head. He has to ask Medic about it.

He was on his special platform again. But now it wasn't the war time. He was just sitting and sipping slowly the coffee from his SNIPER#1 mug. He sighed and looked at his rifle lying on the wooden floor. He sighed again. He started to mix the fluid in the coffee mug. He was sad, but he didn't know why. Maybe he just needed a time for himself. The sun was shining through the leaves and made everything green. It was so perfect day, but there still was huge melancholy in Sniper. But then he heard a whistle, like when is something flying really fast through the air. And then and arrow pierced a hole in the leaves and pinned into the limb.

"What the…" Liam muttered and looked at the arrow. There was a little paper attached on it. He took the paper. And then he smiled.

I miss you

Same time, same place.

V

Sniper red the paper maybe three more times and there were still the same shivers going down his spine through every word he saw. He will be there. Of course he will. At midnight under the bridge. He climbed down the tree and went to his base. He felt his soul full of enthusiasm and he jumped a little with happy face. But then a BLU Medic went out of the corner.

"I wouldn't be zo happy." He said with sad voice. Sniper stopped and looked at him.

"What's wrong?" He said. His facial expression went serious in a second.

"There's black envelope with your name on it." Medic said carefully. Sniper looked at him, shocked from the news. He put his hat down, pushed it to Medic's arms and ran to the dining room, where post was usually handed out. When he reached the room, there was Heavy standing there. Heavy held the envelope in his huge hands. The big Russian handed him the black sheet of folded paper.

"I am sorry." He said and made a sad face. Sniper took it. He wasn't sure if he wanted to see what is inside. He took his Kukri out and cut the edge of tiny envelope. Liam pulled out little condolence. It was folded, so he stretched it and red it. His face was still serious. After a while he folded it back and put it to the envelope. It was like a bad nightmare. Liam turned around and without a word he walked out of the dining room. He took his hat from Medic, who was still standing on the hallway. Liam left the BLU base and went to his caravan. He locked the door and relied on the bed.

He's gone.

It was already dark outside and Liam was lying on his bed. Did he really want to meet Viktor tonight? Maybe he'll cheer him up. Sniper stretched on the bed and sat straight. He sighed and looked at his watch. It was half past ten. There was still a lot of time remaining to their meeting. He has to meet him. Liam was missing Viktor too. But what will he do until the midnight comes? He went out of his caravan. He was there entire afternoon, so he was a little surprised, when he felt the fresh cold air outside. His stomach was empty because he didn't go to the dinner. He had no appetite. Liam was walking. He didn't know where he was going, he just needed to walk. To walk out his troubles, his woe and his anger. He was walking. His head was full of pictures of the person. That person, which name was written in the condolence. Was their relationship really that bad? He was torn out of his thoughts by some steps. What the…? He looked around himself and he saw Viktor.

"What are you doing here?" Liam whispered.

"I have zhe same question for you. What are you doing next to our base?" Viktor asked, whispering too. Then Liam realized. He was really standing in front of the RED's base. He looked at his watch. It was just five minutes missing to eleven.

"I was walking. And why are you here so early?" Sniper asked and pointed on his watch.

"Early? It's five minutes remaining to midnight." Viktor said with confused expression. Sniper looked at his watch and then he realized. Summer time has changed week ago. He nodded and apologized. Viktor just smiled.

"Zo, where were we last time?" Viktor said. He put his hands around Liam's waste and hugged him. Liam just put one his hand on Viktor's back. Viktor pushed his lips against Liam's jaw bone and sucked slightly. Then he moved to Australian's mouth and brushed it softly. Then he pulled back and kissed him again. And again. And again. But Liam was just standing there with his hand on Viktor's back. His lips were without a move and he was just sadly looking in Medic's eyes. The older man pulled back and looked in his friend's sad face.

"What's wrong?" He said with worried tone. Sniper sighed and crushed their foreheads together.

"I had…a really bad day." He felt a rising of little tears in his eyes. Viktor hugged him more tightly and relied his head against Liam's shoulder.

"And what was zo bad?" He asked quietly. Liam drowned his hand in his pocket and pulled out the black envelope. Viktor was serious in a second. He pulled back from a hug and took the little envelope which was offered to him.

"Father died on Tuesday." Liam said. Medic opened the envelope and red the condolence. It was short, but so sad. Although Viktor have never recognized Liam's father, he wanted to cry for him.

"Am zorry." Viktor said quietly and handed back the envelope. Liam took it and put it in the pocket of his trousers. He just nodded shortly and felt one hot tear going down by his cheek. He turned his head away, hoping that Viktor won't see it. But then Medic reached his hand and turned Liam's head to he can see it clearly. He wiped his tear and looked deeply in his eyes. They were wet and after a second he couldn't hold the tears anymore. They began to drop down his face quickly, leaving the wet stains behind. He was sobbing quietly and his chest was trembling. Viktor opened his arms a little, offering Liam another hug. Australian went close and accepted Viktor's offer thankfully. The German was comforting him by his presence. He could barely feel all Liam's sadness, but he tried as hardest he can. Sniper felt Medic's head on his chest. He was squeezing his body. Just then he realized Viktor's height. He was so small against Liam. They felt each other's heartbeat. There was nothing around them. Nothing more important than each other. Liam's eyes were still wet, but tears were coming slowly. Little teardrops were running down his tanned cheeks, they met at his chin and soaked in Viktor's shirt. Medic drowned his hand into Liam's dark brown hair and played with them. Sniper made a sharp inhale and leaned forward. They touched they cheeks and enjoyed the moment. They closed their eyes. Liam put his hands on Viktor's waist and the German hugged him more tightly.

"Thank you." Liam whispered to Viktor's ear. Viktor smiled.

"You are welcome." He said and kissed Australian's lips lightly. Liam sighed and the last tear went down his cheek. Viktor reached his finger and wiped that little drop away. They pulled away and breathed hardly.

"I have never met my parents." Viktor said quietly and Liam made a surprised face. Viktor sat on the dusty ground and Liam followed him.

"I was raised by my grandparents." He continued. Liam touched his hand and interweaved their fingers.

"One of zhe most painful experiences was, when my grandfather passed away. Two weeks later my grandma was gone too." He said and his voice was quite sad. Liam was stroking the back of his palm by his thumb.

"I remember those days. I was already eighteen years old when zhey passed away. When I came to our flat after zhe funeral…it was so dark and…and cold. The day was bad but the night was zhe worst. I…I felt terribly…lonely. In those days, I would give anything to have somebody next to me. Somebody living, breathing and comforting."He ended his speech with a sad glare at Liam. Then he stood up.

"Come with me." He said when Liam was standing next to him. They went along the wooden walls in silence. They were listening to the sounds of night. After a while Viktor stopped and faced the wall. Sniper stood next to him. Medic looked up and pointed at one window.

"Zhis is zhe window of my room. If you will feel bad at night, I am still here." Sniper lifted his eyebrow. Viktor blushed a little.

"Y-you know I don't wa-want you to feel like me, when my grandparents died. T- there's nothi- no, no… nothing…" He was muttering shyly. Liam smiled weakly and kissed his forehead. Viktor blushed harder.

"Zo, you should just throw a little stone to my window and I'll be there." He added quietly. Liam hugged him shortly.

"Thank you. I will."
