I sent the wrong one the first time, this is the finished edited one xP Sorry :/


He was dying, he was sure of it…he stared up at the black, starless sky, watching the blackness swirl around in his vision…the only reason he even knew he was looking at the sky was because of the water falling from it and the cool air whipping around his thin, water soaked, mud caked body. He could feel his very life seeping through the bullet wound in his gut. The sniper flexed his fingers slowly, the long digits digging into the cold mud before letting go for a moment then digging in again. He didn’t cry, he wouldn’t cry or maybe he couldn’t? His body had long ago gone past the point of freezing numbness, the only warmth he could feel was his own blood pooling around his body, spreading wider and wider till he started to wonder why he hadn’t just run out of blood yet.

A new sensation struck him, not pain or cold, or even more warm blood that was currently working its way up to his face. Someone was touching him, it was gentle and surprisingly warm…almost too warm. He opened his multi colored eyes and looked for the source of the warmth…he was met with a pair if very bright, curious looking, wild eyes….

“Pepi…”

He whispered. The owner of the eyes tilted their head to the side, grinning widely.

“ist Roody goink avay?”

He asked in his very Pepi like way, his voice just as soft and curious as always. It made the sniper smile.

“Yes Pepi…Rudy is going”

He said with that one special smile he only used when he was around the bizarre little German. Rudy could hear the older man hum and move his hand down his side to the bullet wound there and poke at it curiously, surprisingly it didn’t hurt.

“Pepi halp”

He purred; then something changed. Rudy watched with no emotion when Pepi’s razor teeth broke through the darkness, the only bright thing in his world of grey and black, his eyes changed too, they kept that same wild glint to them that they always had but they looked…more sinister… Rudy felt the first bite but didn’t make a sound, it didn’t hurt.

It went on for what felt like forever…first his feet and legs…bite by bite, Rudy watched the medic eat away his very being, his wild feline eyes keeping that tricksters glint that he had always loved.

His hands where next, Rudy watched as each finger was devoured and slowly leaving his sight, it still didn’t hurt, he wondered in the back of his mind if this was how Pepi himself felt when confronted with things that should be painful. The entire time his devil medic smiled and murmured words the sniper couldn’t understand.

“Pepi ist halpink ja?”

He asked with his too wide bloody, sharp tooth grin. Rudy nodded and smiled pleasantly.

“Yes. Pepi is helping”


*****

Rudy woke with a start, his breath rushing into his lungs so fast that it made his whole body jerk. A dream…it was a dream? He blinked a few times, trying to get the images to fade from his mind. He winced when he tried to move but something sharp and hard was jabbing him in the side; he looked down and let out another little sigh of relief. It was Pepi, still asleep curled up next to him, right where he left him, with his limbs still intact, no blood, and no bullet.

With a huff he relaxed back into the mattress, glancing down at the top of the medics head. He was glad his little out burst hadn’t woken the man up, it could be quite the chore to get the strange medic to fall back asleep when he’s been woken up and judging from the still darkened rainy sky, it was still very early and he would want to fall back a sleep soon enough.

The sharp pile of flesh shifted next to him and Rudy held his breath, praying to what ever god that was listening that the medic did not wake up. When the smaller man only gave a soft little coo and curled into to him tighter Rudy let out the breath he had been holding. When he glanced down he stared at the medics face, he really looked adorable when he was asleep, a soft smile on is face and the rhythmic breathing really disguised what a little mental case the “good doctor” really was. It was defiantly a lot different from the wild demons look from his dream…

Rudy suppressed a shudder…that wasn’t the first dream he had of the medic devouring him, sometimes Pepi appeared to him as a giant black bird that took his eyes or some kind of shapeless monster with noting but a row of perfect white, razor teeth. He stared at the ceiling to think, trying to work some things out in his mind… he had been in this sort of…”relationship” with their team medic for the last 7 months, and it was safe to say that it was defiantly one of the more interesting things the young sniper had done with his life…

Their relationship was hard to label, he wouldn’t call them “lovers” but it was more then just friends…for one thing friends didn’t sleep naked in the same bed, Rudy hadn’t intended for it to be that way…at first Rudy had tried to convince the medic that he should be wearing his cloths at night, that he could get sick from the cold since his sickly thin body could probably not defend it self against even the smallest opponent there could be. In the end, however, Rudy had to give that quest up; every time he would try to talk the medic into putting his cloths on he would just giggle and continue what he was doing or crawl into his lap and tell him:

“Roody keep Pepi warm”

What was he supposed to say to that? And there was no way he would ever try and forcefully dress the man again; that resulted in a vicious bite to his arm and the medic staying away from him for a few days, it was then that Rudy just decided that when it came down to it, pepi could not be forced to do anything he –really- didn’t want…he may not have looked like much but he was quick, squirmy and he wasn’t afraid to bite with those sharpened teeth.

From that moment Rudy just decided to let pepi do what he wanted, and give him anything he wanted in return. One of the many versions of their relationships that most of the team saw on a daily basis, when ever there was something pepi wanted Rudy wasn’t very far behind to get it for him, the most common item where cookies the shorter man couldn’t reach himself from the top shelves of the cupboards.

The next part of their relationship was the snipers role as guardian. Rudy was quick to defend the little medic from just about –any- threat, wither it be enemy, their own team or even the medic himself who seemed to never notice anything was wrong with him, even if his arm was missing he would still just smile and show no signs of any pain. Occasionally those two parts of their many parts relationship collided…the most prominent moment was a few months ago when Rudy had over heard their team scout call their medic “a retarded, fucking creepy bastard”… Rudy was on him in a second, beating the holy hell out of the stunned scout and would have probably killed him if it wasn’t for a light little giggle in the back going.

“Roody put scout down, Repi like him!”

Of course the sniper had dropped the terrified scout instantly; he gave the medic anything he wanted after all. From that moment no one ever said a single bad word about their medic, at least not with in earshot of their unpredictable sniper. There where rumors that Rudy was insane like the medic; that they got along so well because of their mutual pasts of torture and neglect, this wasn’t true of course. Rudy was perfectly sane, his mind was whole and intact, and very sharp; even he didn’t understand why he cared so much for the older man in the way he did…even speaking like him when they where together (which is why most thought he was crazy) in the beginning a solider who had foolishly thought that Rudy was like pepi, came up to him and started to talk to him like he was simple, telling him how he thought it was an insult to all other fighters that RED employed people like him and pepi.

Rudy broke his jaw and arm in 3 places…he wasn’t sure what had made him angrier; the idea that they thought he was stupid or that they thought pepi was stupid. Pepi wasn’t stupid in the slightest, sometimes he wondered if pepi was smarter then them all, he was always thinking, asking, and what he didn’t know he picked up fast.

Rudy was brought out of his musings for a moment when the warm thing next to him moved again and mumbled some words in German. Again disaster was avoided when pepi did not wake and the sniper relaxed again.

There was another part of their relationship that most didn’t know about, there where rumors and suspicious but no one asked, out of fear that Rudy might kill them or that they might actually know…no one knew really. They had a pretty active sex life too…Rudy knew he had wanted pepi in such a way for a long time after they met but didn’t act on it, thinking it might scare the other away like his forceful dressing had for a time. Rudy didn’t want that, he loved the insane little doctor and didn’t want him to fear or hate him…if it was even possible for pepi to hate, noting ever seemed to phase him.

Their first time after four months of knowing each other had been…interesting to say the least; pepi –had- been a virgin at the time and didn’t seem to understand what the red haired sniper was trying to do with him. Rudy had decided that he had to find out what would happen and just went for it. It had become very apparent after that pepi seemed to receive no sex education as a child, it had been awkward and painful for both parties, pepi was still too skinny despite his best efforts to fatten him up at least a little bit and it had been hard to find a comfortable position for himself at first, the mans heels and hips dug into him in rather painful ways.

It had turned out good in the end; pepi was tight and willing and let him be as rough as he wanted to be, which was a rare thing for him to be allowed with other partners, he would scream for Rudy to do it harder and make him hurt, the only minor problem was the others mouth and fingers. Rudy had to find positions that usually had the others mouth away from is body, he didn’t mind Pepi’s love bites…but he was going to end up with no flesh left on his shoulders and arms if he kept letting the man face him during sex, ball gags where no good, pepi chewed threw them and once even ate one… restraining was out of the question, the one time he had done it was a rather frightening thing to see pepi like he was…

He just didn’t move! When Rudy had tied his wrists to the bed posts pepi had been unusually quiet and still…it was scary to see the vacant look in his eyes, no smile no giggle…Rudy might have thought he was dead if it weren’t for the steady rise and fall of his chest. When the leather cuffs where removed however, it was like a light had been switched back on, Pepi’s eyes brightened up and his smile came back, looking like noting had ever happened at all.

“ist Roody ok? Dose he not vant to play zis game no more?”

The voie in his head was so clear, he thought for a moment that the smaller man had woken up. A game...that’s what he called what they did when pepi had first asked him…probably the only thing he felt a little guilty about when he was with the smaller man. One time their scout had told him he was taking advantage of pepi, tricking him into being his personal little play thing…at one point he thought it might be true, that he used Pepi’s simple thoughts and curious nature to his own gain. Then again those thoughts where nonsense, at times it seemed that pepi was the one taking advantage of him! Rudy often thought of pepi like a pet, some kind of exotic cat for him to have sitting nicely in his lap, but sometimes he wondered if he was the pet? He was always by the medics side, loyally waiting for any request for an item or to play a game, and even when he was off to let the medic and himself get some time alone he always kept an eye on the other, from his nest he would watch the older man play outside, sometimes with scout if he could convince him… He glanced down at the top of the others head and smiled a little; very carefully putting the hand around the small mans shoulders up to his head.

It wasn’t like him to be all sentimental, but during these private moments he really just liked to wallow in the affection he felt for the little German. He watched him breath softly in his sleep, looking very peaceful and relaxed…like a kitten, was his thought, maybe that’s why he dreamed about pepi being cat like in his dream…he had heard cats where very loving and loyal…but would eat you before you even cold when you died. It was an amusing thought, and probably not far from the truth, pepi was no healer and in battle he was sure if he got shot in such a way he was sure pepi would probably just smile curiously as he took his last breath.

It was that line of thought that reminded him why he never told pepi he loved him. Pepi might have understood a lot of things…but he wasn’t so sure about this, how could he expect pepi to understand something that he didn’t understand himself? Even if he said anything he didn’t think the other felt the same anyway…which was just fine for Rudy, he has gone his entire life unloved, he was perfectly content loving the medic the way he wanted, being a playmate, protector and lover all at the same time.

The sun was up now, he looked to the side out the window, it was grey and raining again…a pretty common thing these days it seemed. He heard a soft little coo and the sharp body shift. Rudy didn’t tense or hold his breath, he let pepi wake up on his own. He smiled when the mans bright eyes fluttered open and looked down on him, smiling like always.

“Good morning pepi”

The younger man purred.

“Gut morgen Roody”

The little one smiled brightly and laid himself across Rudy’s chest.

“Roody haz circles under hizz eyez…like raccoon!”

He giggled and poked the younger mans cheek, thinking of the stripped creature the sniper had shown him in one of his many books. Rudy nodded and shrugged

“Yes…Rudy looks like a raccoon”

He sat up carefully, pushing the other off. Pepi have a little whine at loosing his pillow but followed him.

“Vat is Roody doink?”

He asked, putting his hands behind his back and swayed on the balls of his feet, watching as the sniper gathered his cloths. Rudy didn’t respond, he got dressed quickly then gathered the medic’s cloths and turned to him, gesturing for pepi to hold his arms up while Rudy began to dress him for the day. This had started to become pretty routine for the two, pepi did as he was asked, letting the sniper slip on his white dress shirt, pants, tucking the white shirt into the black pants quickly. Pepi tried to hold still but would still squirm and giggle, tugging at the snipers vest.

“Sumtink ist on Roodys mind?”

Pepi asked while the sniper put on his tie. Rudy shrugged.

“Just a bad dream pepi”

The medic tilted his head to the side.

“Roody hast bad dream? Vat was it?”

He giggled while Rudy sat him on the bed to put on his boots.

“It was noting pepi”

He smiled as he laced the black leather up, noting that he really needed to get the medic some boots that fit him better, these always seemed too big. Pepi left it alone after that, learning that after all these months there where some things the sniper didn’t like to talk about. Instead he toyed with the snipers long red hair and humming a song to himself that Rudy didn’t understand.

“Pepi dreamed of the white place again”

He hummed and Rudy tensed up.

“What? Why didn’t you tell me?”

He glared, his temper starting to spark. He always told pepi to wake him if he ever was dreaming of the white place again, pepi smiled and poke at the little tuff of hair on the mans chin.

“Pepi wasink scared…pepi could feel Roody an made pepi feel better!”

He cheered and clapped his hands. Rudy stared at the little medic, unsure of what to say to that…he blinked when the other cupped his face very lovingly, and smiled softly down at him, his eyes had lost the child like curiosity they always seemed, instead looking like they belonged to a man who had seen to much in his tired life. Rudy’s eyes widened when he realized what was happening and leaned forward to listen closely to what ever pepi had to say.

“Rudy ist Pepi’s”

He said very softly and slowly that it made the snipers heart flutter. It was one of those all too rare moment of lucidity’s that would happen so suddenly that if you blinked you would miss it. It was so rare that sometimes rudy wondered if he dreamed it up; but like a snow flake on a hot tongue it was gone, and the child like glint was back.

“Pepi vants to play hide und zeek!”

He giggled and squished the snipers cheeks together. Rudy smiled warmly and nodded, thinking about what the strange little man had said.

“Ok pepi…we will play hide and seek…but after breakfast”

Pepi made a low whining noise as the sniper finished buttoning up the white jacked. It was no secret pepi didn’t like to eat, usually only wanting candies and sweets. It took rudy several months to get pepi to eat even the smallest amount of the dinners he cooked. Eventually he figured out a good system of letting pepi help him cook shared meals in which the sniper would take a bite first and pepi would follow the example.

Rudy finished dressing the man after he slipped over the red latex gloves.

“Alright you, hop up”

He knelt down a little and pepi wrapped his arms around the snipers neck, holding on as the taller sniper lifted him easily, keeping his hands under Pepi’s rear to keep him on his back. Pepi swung his legs and buried his face into Rudy’s long red hair as they walked down to the kitchen.

“Pepi also vants to play Roody’s special game today”

He hummed and tugged on Rudy’s pony tail. Rudy laughed and nodded.

“Tonight pepi, we will play Rudy’s special game tonight”

Pepi giggled and grinned, wrapping his arms righter around the mans neck.

“Gut”
