A dream was a dream. What happens in them you often can’t control, who you end up having sex with you can’t control that either. Of course when Sniper had woken up he was back in his full state of awareness on how he hated the RED Spy and hoped he’d suffer a fiery, painful death. He didn’t want to give it a second thought and he didn’t want to rethink or relive that dream, no matter how amazing that had felt- NO SCRATCH THAT. It wasn’t amazing! It was wrong! Wrong, wrong, wrong!
Thankfully, after being laughed at for the morning glory, his roommate had stayed out of sight from him the whole day. It was seemingly that he made an effort to keep away from him during the night, seeing as they had to spend their nights together. It was enough suffering as it was, without having to see each other all day. If they did that then they’d soon find themselves back to square one, killing each other every night for a nice empty bed for them to sleep on.
The alone time was certainly something he needed, his aim was rather off all day, some perfectly good opportunities were carelessly missed as the mental imagery of the Spy going down on him cause him to blank out at random intervals. This was torture is what it was, now he was becoming afraid that every time he saw the bloody spook his mind would go straight to the gutter into that. At one point an enemy soldier noticed his little hide-away and started firing a bunch of rockets at him. Sniper was lucky to have gotten out alive. Unfortunately he didn’t have time to grab his things while trying to escape from an exploding wooden room so all he had on him was the sniper rifle slouched over his back.
His clothes were smoking a little like he had just been caught on fire but he only had some minor wounds from it all. Seeing as all this lack of concentration was as much as the Medic’s fault as the Spy’s, he didn’t want to try and find him to treat the wounds. Making way to the nearest dispenser he used that to get his hands on some health kits and recover, also to restock on some ammo and weaponry that he lost in his nest. As he sat by the dispenser it was about that time where their allied Demoman came up to grab a quick recovery also. Thankfully the man was somewhat sober during the battles.
“Yer lookin’ a little stressed, matey.”
Sniper grumbled at how his lack of focus was obvious even to the alcoholic of their team. Even though he didn’t speak a firm reassuring pat on the back was delivered. “You knoo I often feel the same way as you...”
You mean having sex dreams about your associates? He quickly thought back in response, of course he didn’t say it.
“But I deal with that with meh special grog!” He said with a wide smile and now suddenly holding out a gin bottle as if he was a part of an advertising campaign. Sniper looked at him with a raised brow as the bottle was forced into his hands.
“Mate, we still have fighting to do.”
“Argh, I knoo we doo, lad. I’m noot saying you drink it noo. Yer drink it later. It’ll be good for woot ales ye.”
Another firm pat met with the Sniper’s back and off the Demoman went in a bloody lusting rush of odd battle cries and taunts followed by hasty round of explosions and shakes. The gunman still sat there as a Heavy’s head rolled into vision. It wasn’t a very out of the ordinary sight so he was able to quickly lose attention on it and look back at the drink the Demoman handed him. He gave a slight disgruntled look at it but decided to keep it with him to be polite.
+++
Another day was out and it was long before that when the Sniper began drinking out of the bottle. It was overly strong at the beginning he had to admit, but the more he drank it the more refreshing it became and he could now see why the Demoman kept taking a swig at it when it was empty. You just wanted every last bloody drop. When that first bottle was bone dry he ended up going to the Re-supply room to find more of this delicious concoction and swiped another 2 bottles. He’d find a way to repay the man sooner or later anyways.
The more he drank the more it certainly got him to relax about the constant issues running through his head. Of course he told himself that he wasn’t going to do this all the time, this was just a one-time thing... and in his defence if you had the Spy living with you for a month, any man would start drinking.
Since the time was now up it was alright for him to head on back to the van and hopefully get to drink some more. Though one thing he forgot to take into consideration was how he was going to deal with Spy when he saw him. Where the hell did he park his van again? Stupid thing, he should put it more closer to the fort so he didn’t need to walk so far...
+++
Inside the little piece of tin on wheels that he now called ‘home’, Spy found himself pacing about with a cigarette in his mouth. He had no idea as to just why he was stalking up and down the van, but he had such an unusual bundle of energy inside of him right now that it was hard to sit still. Unlike Sniper, he never really thought much about the morning stiffy incident this morning. It was lonely out in the desert after all. He knew the familiar dark mistress of isolation all too well. Judging by Sniper’s face this morning, this was a very rare occasion. He smirked to himself before dragging on his tobacco again and glancing at his wristwatch. It was after dinner now. Two hours after sunset and Sniper hadn’t yet returned. The two hadn’t seen each other all day, so Spy had no idea what had happened. Maybe he got himself blown up so then he didn’t have to deal with his French roommate again? Knowing Sniper, he wouldn’t be surprised. The man needed to really loosen up a bit more.
Why was he worrying so much anyway? Clicking his tongue to himself, he loosened his tie and started to undo the buttons on his undershirt cuffs. Oh well. Bed to himself again tonight. No hard feelings Sniper, but that’s just the way the world worked. Smugly, he could feel his eyes narrow as his lips curved upwards widely. Fantastic. Maybe this would work out for the better?
That was before the sound of something ramming into the tin van door jarred him from his thoughts. What on earth could that be?
Judging by the long stream of muffled profanities, it was Sniper. Sighing, Spy took off his gloves and tossed his almost finished cigarette outside a window. Really now, the man didn’t have to be so brash about coming home late. “And ‘ere I thought zat you had shot yourself in ze head.” Spy called out, unlocking the van door and opening it wide. Upon seeing Sniper, he could feel his smug face fall.
Because Sniper was drunk.
The signs were obvious. Swaying on the spot, the hiccups, the odd snicker or giggle as he had a bottle of liquid sloshing about in his hand… Sniper was totally plastered. Spy sighed and pulled the man into the van before he could fall over his two feet. “So zis is what you ‘ave been doing all zis time.” Giggling, the lone bottle Sniper was holding smashed on the steps, the amber ale flowing freely everywhere. He was completely unaware of his surroundings as well, judging by the small bruises and marks on his face from running into walls and cacti. “Cheh. I just cleaned zere last night as well…”
Spy trailed off as Sniper leaned into his chest a bit too leisurely, one arm slung around the assassin’s shoulders while the other was waving around to clutch onto the doorframe. His face was starting to tint red. Not from his usual bouts of fury, but from something else. “Y… Ya know what I like about you Spaaah?” His words were slurring together as his feet tried to walk where his body couldn’t go. Spy wrinkled his nose as the man’s alcohol stained breath hit him at full force. He sounded just like an uneducated hillbilly right now.
“I did not zink zat you particularly liked me at all.” He replied dryly, gripping onto the Australian’s arm so that he could help him get to his room. Sniper’s long legs dragged out behind him (almost causing Spy to lose his grip), but managed to get some from of bizarre drunken walking going.
“III likeeee ‘ow you jus’ don’ give a damn.” The slur came again as he gave a weak, playful punch to Spy’s jaw. Spy gave no response, keeping his face in “UNIMPRESED” mode and thin lips pulled into an even finer line. It was hard not to backhand the man. Very hard. Especially considering that Sniper was now all over him again in a giant, uncoordinated mess. Frowning, Spy walked in backwards to the bedroom back first before coming to a rest on the bed.
“You are a complete mess. Juz what did you drink, mon ami?” Sniper didn’t respond, although he did give a giggle into Spy’s chest. Frowning, the sober man took the Australian’s hat off his head. There was a small bump forming on his forehead from where he ran into the door. “Ah, but you are hurt.” Spy murmured, brushing some of the sweaty dark hair away, noting some other injuries on the man’s body. They were given a rough patch up job. The fool. He was obviously too proud to go and see Medic after they were caught fighting the other night. While the first-aid wasn’t a bad job, it needed some better treatment.
“Ya gonna kiss ‘em better spook?” Spy blinked, looking down at the man who had decided that his lap made a good pillow. He had a lopsided grin on his face, almost as if dangling a dare out for anyone to accept. Sniper would never just do this. It wasn’t in his style. It wasn’t normal.
Spy’s hand reached up and pushed Sniper’s forehead back into the pillow so he’d sit still while he went to try and find the small first aid kit they had around the van somewhere. A particular question in Spy’s head was ‘why did Sniper get drunk in the first place?’ sure they were all men (excluding Scout) and like men they enjoyed their occasional beer. Still none of them drank themselves stupid unless it was Demoman.
After locating the kit, Spy went back to the bed, quite relieved that Sniper didn’t get up and run around while his back had been turned. One annoying thing about drunken people is how unpredictable they were in terms of actions. For all Spy knew, Sniper could’ve stripped himself of all his clothes and started running around outside while demanding Spy try and catch him. Not something he wanted.
“Just sit still. I’ll patch you up.” He sighed as he began to tend to some of the injuries. Of course he wasn’t as good as Medic, but it was better than Sniper trying to patch himself up. “Zere we go...” He said as he finished the final patch up.
Sniper was still out of it as there were random outbursts of small laughs. It was a little curious to know what the hell was so funny, but when you’re drunk the stupidest things could be funny.
“I had a dream about you last night...” He said.
Well that’s nice. Spy thought not fully absorbing this message until 10 seconds later. He got chills all over and suddenly things just pieced together. A dream about him and an errection in the morning. Oh good lord...
“You should probably get to sleep, mon Snipe...” He quickly replied, now feeling a little flustered. Spy tried to not read too deeply into it, after all even if it was a sex dream about him that his roommate had about him last night then that was just something out of his control and not because he saw Spy in that way.
“I don’t wanna sleep.” He replied, in a very drowsy kind of tone. Even though the man was very obviously tired, he seemed to just be resisting him because it was Spy giving the orders. Letting off another unimpressed look he got up to walk away, if he left the area then Sniper would fall asleep in no time. Just as he turned around a hand had came up and snatched at his wrist.
“Let go-”
“You still didn’t kiss ‘em better.”
...Was he serious? It was a little concerning that he was now bringing this up a second time. The firm grip on his wrist was pretty much indicating that he wasn’t going to let go unless he did what he wanted. This man... was very troublesome.
Leaning down he gave a small kiss to the forehead. There. That should settle him. Spy didn’t pull back too far as he looked back down to Snipers half open eyes. His mouth was parted slightly and a small moan bubbled out of his throat. Slowly he gave another kiss, only this time he moved a bit lower. He didn’t know what was coming over him but with each little kiss he found himself progressing to the man’s lips until they eventually connected. Sniper’s lips were so dry compared to his own. So very dry.
They stayed like that for some time until Spy felt the need to have a bit more and deepen the kiss by licking the Sniper’s parched lips, requesting further access to his mouth. It seemed happily granted as they intensity opened up and more force was added. Spy could taste the alcohol but wasn’t at all bothered by it as his tongue massaged over his partner’s. Even in his drunken state Sniper seemed to have some control over his tongue. It danced about Spy’s in various motions, exploring and tasting with clear curiosity.
Soon the taste of nicotine and alcohol blended until they became one unified and unique flavour, dancing inside Spy’s mouth. His hands rested on each side of Sniper’s head as they soon started to comb through the short hair. Though sticky with sweat, he relished in the soft texture it provided him to explore. He could feel Sniper pushing back into his mouth, his own hands starting to explore his face. Well, the parts that he was able to reach while they continued to kiss. Over every curve and soft part of flesh that was both exposed and hidden to the world. Melting together, working in unguided synchronisation…
It was only when they broke apart for breath did Spy gain control over himself again.
What was he doing? Why was he doing this? Was it because he knew about the dream and now gained a sexual curiosity about the gunman? He had to stop. Even if he was feeling reluctant right now, he couldn’t do this. Spy pulled away from the Sniper like ripping off a bandaid. He knew if he tried to do that slowly then he’d never stop.
“Y-You... go to sleep.” He hissed as he quickly left the room just in case Sniper planned to try and grab him again. Not even turning back to see his drunken team mate’s face. Power walking out the door, Spy stalked outside of the metal rust bucket on wheels before coming to rest against the cool metal of the van. Just what the hell was going on between the two of them?! First they start trying to kill each other and now this? They had both just over shot the part of being friendly and gone romantic. Grimacing, Spy looked up into the starry sky above him. The moon was wanning now, but it still casted its beautiful light over the ungodly terrain. What was really kicking Spy was the fact that he... somewhat enjoyed that. Cursing silently, his hand pulled out his cigarette case and prepared yet another stick to smoke. His mind was having an inner battle of denial, that enjoying that kiss wasn’t crazy and he was just not thinking clearly. Oh c’mon he didn’t even want to leave, that was saying something about enjoyment right?
Going back into that bed again was something he was unsure if he could do. Hopefully Sniper would forget about the whole ordeal so they’d never have to talk about it. He was out of his mind drunk so chances were pretty high on that. Oh how Spy was now a little envious of Sniper, he’d be able to forget, but Spy would be stuck with the feeling, the taste, the want for more...
This was all Medic’s fault somehow...
+++
Medic was still up late working when he heard a faint knock at his door. Rubbing his eyes, he set aside his glasses. “Ist zat you Scout?” His voice was a raspy grumble. “I told you to stop bozering me so zat I could finish zese reports for tomorrow, or else I’ll--” He stopped as soon as he opened the door however.
“Spy?”
Spy had the look about him like he had just been wandering around aimlessly with eyes that showed a severe lack of sleep. He was wearing his full suit, looking as normal as ever otherwise.
“Vat are you doing out at this hour? You should be getting some sleep.”
“I can’t sleep in zat... zat van!” Spy shouted but at the same time tried to keep it down just in case he woke someone up. Heavy got awfully cranky if someone woke him from his precious sleep. No one was injured tonight and that bed that was rightfully his was being currently unused. “Can’t I just sleep in ze ward here with you?” he added on.
Medic raised his head a little and looked down at him in a stern kind of way. That cold look somehow had Spy envisioning that if he stayed here with the Medic then who knows what kind of ‘friendship’ they could bond. He wasn’t safe anywhere...
“If you are having trouble with Herr Sniper I could make sure he gets zer message zat I tried to give you both last time…” He let the sentence linger in the air, sending a chill down Spy’s spine. No, this wasn’t what he intended. Scratching at his cheek with a gloveless finger, the assassin feigned composure as he turned his attention to his fingernails.
“Oh, non, non… it isn’t like zat… not at all.” Flicking some dirt away he looked back to the Medic. Yes… he couldn’t stay here. At first he was considering telling Medic everything that just happened. Sniper… himself… everything moving so fast… but no. He had a good feeling that it would just make things worse and then spiral downhill like a snowball effect. He’d certainly be the one to pay for this if he spoke up.
And he didn’t trust himself enough right now to go blabbing about things to the Medic. Yes… “Ah, forgive me doctoeer. I just have been having trouble sleeping.” He promptly turned his back on the German, making his way back to the stairs. “My apologies for being a bother to you.”
Medic watched quietly as the Spy left before closing his door quietly, too tired to even bother figuring this all out. He sighed, rubbing his eyes in fatigue. If it was of importance, he would have been told already.
+++
Spy arrived back in the van quietly, though he felt like he didn’t need to be. With how out of it Sniper was he wouldn’t be too surprised if a sudden explosion didn’t wake him up. He opened the door, mouth twitching slightly as it clanged against the tin once. Right at this moment he really was starting to regret having burnt that couch. Though the reminder of it having an open piss jar spilt all over the fabric was something beyond repair. That and there was a slight stain on the floor from where it had dripped for probably months on end, serving as a perfect remind that the couch was simply so foul that it was uninhabitable by any living creature. Save for the cockroaches of course. Shedding his suit, he hung it up nicely so it wouldn’t be so creased when he woke up. Even though he felt like he was completely dishevelled at the moment.
Pushing the door open gently the room greeted Spy like an old familiar sight. Sniper’s photos still hung up on the walls, his hat still lying neatly on the bedside desk, and one of the more prized hunting rifles lay near a wall. All bathed in moonlight. On the bed Sniper was out like a light and lying on the further end of the bed, sheets twined around his legs and hips as he slept. This was almost like the first night he spent in this van, having to quietly sneak under the sheets hoping not to wake him. Though now it felt like there wouldn’t be any consequences if Sniper found him sleeping in his bed. After all, when the man woke up he would probably be blinded by the biggest hangover of his life.
As he lay under the sheets he lay perfectly straight with his head looking up to the ceiling, occasionally looking to the window and observing the stars from bar secured windows. Eventually he rolled over slightly so he could face Sniper’s back. What the hell was this man doing to him? It was completely puzzling. Last week the two couldn’t stand the sight of each other. And now? Now what were they? But he couldn’t lie. He enjoyed the company… the contact… he enjoyed it so much that it seemed to be wrong.
Hesitantly, Spy ran an ungloved hand gentle down the back of Sniper’s hair with a tender hand. The man made no motion to move in his sleep, so Spy continued the action, content in watching his lean body before him rise and fall in his drunken slumber.
Feeling bolder, his arm lifted itself up slightly to gently swing itself over Sniper’s torso. ‘Rolling around in your sleep’ was an easy enough excuse to get him out of it, if Sniper woke up angry at their current position.
But for now?
This felt nice.
+++
By the time Sniper had woken up, Spy was already curled up in his own corner far away from Sniper as possible, probably due to Spy rolling around in his sleep. A throbbing headache was the first thing that Sniper noticed however as his hands reached up to his heads and he tried to massage his temples. Urghhh he most certainly wasn’t going to be doing any heavy drinking again anytime soon. He climbed over Spy not caring if his weight would wake him up, he’d need to get up to head to battlements anyways.
“Wake up yer bloody drongo.” He growled as he walked over to the sink to wash his face, trying to endure the incredibly annoying loud sound the rushing tap water made.
Spy grumbled into the pillow as he slowly pushed himself up and forcing himself to get out of bed. He too walked over to the sink to wash his face, of course leaving his mask on while doing so. When he was alone he’d take the mask of for a nice wash of his face, however seeing as no one on his team knew what he looked like under it, he wished to keep it that way.
After grabbing a face towel and drying himself off he gave a short look at Sniper who just put on his aviator glasses to help him feel a little better about the hangover he was now suffering. Soon enough the Aussie’s eyes met with the Frenchman’s.
“Wot?”
“Do you remember anyzing about last night?” He asked. That sounded a little suspicious but there wasn’t really any other way for him to be sure.
“I remember coming back here and going to sleep. I ain’t drinkin’ again for a while that’s for sure...”
So that was it. Sniper had no memory about that kiss whatsoever. Perhaps if Spy kept everything to himself then it would be like nothing had ever happened? That was for the best; obviously that kiss was a one-time thing. The two of them could only get so drunk so many times before they start questioning their sexuality.

TO BE CONTINUEEEEED.
