I took an idea for this chapter from one of my Medic/Sniper fanfiction. If you read it already, I'm sorry I know that I haven't brought anything new, but I love that scene so much. Have a nice reading anyway :-)
He fell on his bed, exhausted from daylong tension and fighting. His hat fell from his head and he let out a long sigh. He was tired, so tired. He felt like he couldn't get up from the mattress and his eyelids were getting heavier. Come on, at least turn off the light. His conscious scolded him. He rolled of the bed, stood up and went to the switch. But as he made the first step, most of his tiredness went away, so he took a shower and did practically everything that average people do before they go to bed. When he finally turned the light off he didn't feel tired at all. He lay in bed, stared at the ceiling and tried to finally fall asleep. He tried to count sheep but still nothing. 241, 242, 243, 244 wait, what was that? He looked out of the window. He saw a high concrete wall bordering the battlefield. Nothing special. He closed his eyes again but the same green flash made him open them again. He looked out of the window to see a weak green glow forming behind the concrete wall. What? He dressed up quickly and headed out of his van. The warm summer night breeze played with his loose shirt and worn jeans were quietly rustling. He came to the borderline, reached for the top of the wall and lifted himself up to see what is behind the wall. He was utterly astonished.
Two days later, on the exactly same time Liam was waiting for Viktor next to his caravan. He was sitting on the ground, playing with his hat. When he heard footsteps he looked up and saw a familiar silhouette of his boyfriend. He came to the van and sat next to Liam.
"So? What did you want to show me?" He asked and his head dropped on Liam's shoulder. The Aussie smiled, caught Viktor's hand and helped him to stand up. He marched against the concrete wall, Medic's little palm still in his bigger one.
"Wait, vhat? Are…why…" Viktor was completely puzzled when he realized that they were going against the wall.
"We need to climb through this wall to get there." Viktor's eyes widened.
"B-But we can't, zhat's permitted."
"Do you see anyone around that might see us?" He said and pulled himself up on the top of the fence. Viktor looked around himself to see just a black darkness. Nobody was around. No one could see them. He shook his head and tried to climb the wall, but he was too small.
"You'll have to help me if you want to show me zhat thing." He said and stretched out his hand for Liam. He pulled the doctor up and they were both squatting on the top of the firm wall. Liam jumped down easily and helped Viktor to get down, because he was 'uncertain about zis'. They turned their backs to the wall and looked at the wide land in front of them. The green flash caught their attention immediately and Viktor grabbed Liam's hand unconsciously.
"What waz that?" Liam squeezed his hand and cracked a smile in his boyfriend's direction.
"That's the thing I wanted to show ya. Now go forward." He whispered. Viktor looked at him with doubt in his eyes.
"Allright, I'll go with ya , if you don't believe me." He said and dragged the smaller man to the source of flashing light. They approached the single green blinking dot in front of them and suddenly the whole swarm of green dots rose from the ground and buzzed around them. Viktor's jaw dropped and the green lights were reflecting in his glasses.
"Fireflies…" he whispered with a smile. There were thousands of disturbed bugs, dancing to the late night's sounds. The bugs were quietly glowing and twinkling, grouping together and back alone. Both men were overwhelmed by the beauty of the process happening around them, so they remained in silence for nearly five minutes. Then Viktor turned his head to Liam.
"This iz beautiful…I…I've never seen anyzhing like that before. Thank you." Liam smiled and sat on the ground, watching messy ornaments that fireflies were making. Viktor joined him and put his head on his shoulder again. The marksman hummed softly.
"How do you say 'firefly' in German?" Viktor raised his head, narrowed his eyes as he was searching the right word in his mind.
"Glühwürmchen, why?"
"I was just curious." There was another while of silence, the bugs calmed down and became to land on the ground and sometimes on Liam or Viktor. After few minutes Liam took a deeper breath than usual, it looked like he wanted to say something, but he was still quiet.
"What did you want to say?" Viktor asked.
"I…was just wandering…"
"Hm?" Viktor let him continue.
"I…y'know this war won't last forever so…"
"Yes?"
"So, would you stay with me? After the war?" Viktor turned to his boyfriend and looked deeply into his eyes. Liam started to feel uncertain again, god how he hated being startled all the time with Viktor.
"See my pervious answer." Viktor whispered with a chuckle and Liam got confused again. Dammit, what did he say? When? The marksman wasn't answering, medic chuckled one more time and then he set his face just inches apart from Liam's, not breaking the eye contact.
"That means yes, I will stay with you and go wherever you go, if you wish me to do so." The dark blue eyes looked at sniper's lips and then the doctor kissed the other lips lovingly. Liam sneaked his hand around Viktor's small waist and rubbed large circles there. The contact went more intimate and special, but Liam pulled away.
"You promise?" Viktor laughed for the third time.
"Yes, I promise." And he chased the space away from between their faces.
This night there was no one watching them. Both participants, BLU Spy and Soldier were sitting in the office and plotting the scenario that may seem to be evil, but it was just for the base's good.
