Hard to ask
â—‡ TF2 Scout x reader [crush]
Your day started with a lot of work. You had to deliver some boxes to Medic, full of new organs of exotic animals. You walked through long corridor whenever suddenly you heard voices from behind the door.
"Are you sure? You did make sure to get this specific one, right?" It was Scout's voice.
"Yes, I did. I had to. Otherwise, you wouldn't leave me alone." Another voice replied. It belonged to...Spy?
You pressed you head to the door, trying to catch more of this conversation. It wasn't common for Spy and Scout to talk outside of work, so you were a bit curious about what those two are up to.
"Now my payment." said Spy.
"Okey okey, fine. And remember, don't tell anyone about this!" Scout replied.
"I promise I won't. It's not like this is the best keept secret in the base"
"Oh fuck you. Just leave" Scout said annoyed by Spy's attitude.
You quickly backed away from the door before they were opened by Spy. He stopped when he noticed you, standing still in the corridor, holding two cardboard boxesat. You thought he is going to be angry or start to ask questions, but to your surprise, he just smirked and walked away without saying anything. Scout walked out from his room, shouting at Spy's back.
"Yea, that's right! Leave and AH-" Scout screamed when he noticed you, standing behind him and jumped up in the air like a scared cat.
"Oh! What are you- i mean- what are you doing here?" he quickly changed his pose from scaredy-cat to confident in a second. Of course, he leaned against the wall to look cooler for you.
"Me? I uhhh- I was just simply passing by with some boxes I need to deliverto Medic" you said calmly.
"I seeeee" he answered as calmly as he could.
"I can't help but ask ... what Spy was doing in your room?"
You noticed that Scout on these words immediately started to sweat and move his hands chaotically left and right, to find comfortable position before crossing them on his chest.
"N-Nothin', just uhhhh we were talking about... work!"
"Work?" You asked with suspicious look.
"Uhhh yea yea! Totally! He brought me more contracts today, that's all"
"Isn't that Miss Pauling's job?" you asked.
"Uhhhhhhhh....- Oh look a distraction!"
He said quickly and pointed behind you. In impuls, you turned around, realising that he just bamboozled you, and when you turned around to face him you realized he was already gone. Confused, you just shrug your shoulders and moved on to deliver packages to Medic, so he could continue his twisted experiments wondering what kind od secret Scout is hiding.
You noticed that Scout has been acting strange lately, to the point you considered for a moment he might be a enemy Spyn, but other mercs assured you he isn't. You talked with everyone about it, but no one seemsesd have clear answer as to why he was acting like this. You felt left out, as if they knew something you didn't. What if he didn't like you anymore..., you took a deep breath before walking up to Scout, who was eating his breakfast.
"Scout. Can we talk? Alone?" You asked.
Scout spit out his drink before looking at you.
"I uhhh. S-Sure. But maybe later? How about... on the roof at sunset?" he proposed.
You aggred, walking away a bit sad. He was always ready to talk with you about everything right away. You tried not to think about it, so you went to your room to prepare for the evening.
When the sun was finally starting to set, you immediately went to the roof for a meeting with Scout. He was there first, dressed up in nice clothes, without his favorite hat and something behind his back.
"There you are! Good to see ya good lookin' " He said happily greeting you.
"Hello, Scout. It's good to see you" you said, gently smiling.
"You look- you look- uhhhhh- gorgeous! Yes! Absolutely gorgeous"
"Thank you. You look great too"
He smiled and chukled.
"Hey, uhhhh, there is something I needed to tell ya. You see...I-... you see- I really wanted to tell you that, but... I didn't know how"
Hearing this, you sighed and with sad look on your fave you spoke.
"I understand. And that's okay with me..."
"Uhhhh- really? That is- wow! That's great!"
"Yea... I understand if you don't want to be near me...." you said with small tear in your eye.
"Yes I- wait what!?" Scoit jumped, at these words.
"I saw that one coming. You were avoiding me for weeks. You were ignored me. If I was making you feel uncomfortable with my presence, that's fine-"
"Wow, wow, what?!" Scout shouted. "You never made me feel uncomfortable! I- what are you talking about?!"
You looked at Scout with some tears in your eyes. Seeing this, Scout sighed and walked up to you.
"H-Hey, don't cry. I-.... I'm sorry. I never wanted to make you feel ignored. It was.... stupid. " he cleaned tears from your cheeks before biting his lip. "Look, I'm not the best at this, and this is probably realllyyyy awkward for ya, but... I never ignored you because I don't like you. I didn't talk to you because I was a bit, but just a bit scared. Because you are so cool and hot and cool and you are you!"
You blushed and looked at a Scout, as he finally showed you a small black box.
"My point is... you are like, so cool, and I think I like you. Like like you like you. Like superrr like you. So, I wanted to ask if you would like to go on a date...with me?" he opened a small box, and the inside was a small beautiful brooch.
"I made sure it has your favourite colours on it. Do you...like it?"
"I do. Yes! Thank you"
Scout made small victory dance before pinning it to your chest. He smiled and walked up closer to you.
"So uh, would you like to go out on a date with me?"
"Yes, of course" you answered.
Scout smiled and hugged you with all his strength. After a while, he let you go and the two of you started talking about the date, where and when you should arrive, what you should wear (Scoit said you look great in anything anyway), and finally to say goodbye he gently kissed your cheek.
"See you later then, hot shot" he laughed when he saw your cheeks getting more red. "Aww, don't worry, maybe I'll kiss you more on our date" he said before walking away.
You stood there, looking up at the sky, flustered and happy that you two would spend time together, and that was all you could think about....
