No. 2702
Since you asked so nicely -- and because someone left Mr. Plotbunny with Ms. Plotbunny -- here's some more. This is a <b>prequel</b> to the first installment. First, we must get some plot out of the way before the porn can commence. I'm working on that part.
Beta read by Wolf in the Walls a.k.a. Weaver.
You may want to have some tissues handy.

They were getting destroyed out there. BLU had launched a surprise attack. RED’s initial defense was shattered, and Point A was overrun. Engineer was trying to make another stand. Ducking and dipping sneakily past gunfire to a halfway safe position, he prepared to build a Sentry.
At the same time, Sniper scrambled up to a suitable hiding place in the second story of a building. He took shelter behind a window, then peered out with his rifle. The BLUs were drawing closer, their Demoman leading the charge with a smile straight from the Devil’s face. Sniper hunkered down low, then lined up a shot with the leering Cyclops.
Suddenly, there was a roar. The RED Heavy Weapons Guy thundered out to the front line, Medic right behind him. Sniper watched as Heavy let loose with his minigun, causing the BLUs to scatter for cover.
“Who sends babies to fight?” Heavy cried, a gleeful grin on his face, “Hide, cowards! I am coming for you!”
Engineer’s Sentry whirred to life. The Texan looked up when Heavy and Medic approached. Heavy was still roaring fiercely. “Look at me, look at me!” Engineer felt a small glimmer of hope emerge in his heart, and he began to upgrade his gun with gusto.
Sniper was much less enthusiastic. Heavy’s appearance on the battlefield had caused the BLUs to retreat, but this was unusual. Did they make a stand somewhere farther down? Medic didn’t have an Ubercharge ready. There were butterflies in Sniper’s stomach, and they were pissed off.
“Run! Run, I am coming for you!”
A glint of light caught Sniper’s eye. He looked up just in time to spot the enemy Sniper emerge from the window of a parallel building. A bright glare reflected off the scope of his rifle. There was a blue dot on the back of Heavy’s head. His fate was sealed, and Sniper could do nothing as the BLU sharpshooter pulled the trigger.
The report of the rifle seemed to stop time. Heavy let out a blood-chilling scream in agony, the back of his head disintegrating into a red mist. He fell like a ton of bricks, collapsing to the ground. Engineer looked up from his newly-built Sentry when he heard the death bellow just in time to see Heavy breath his last.
The world spun to normal time when Medic let out a shriek in absolute horror. “Heavy!” The doctor dropped his medigun, dropped to Heavy’s side, and clung to his corpse, still crying out in misery. “No! No, my Heavy, no! Please, Gott, no!”
With Heavy out of the picture, BLU started to advance again. Fury burned in Sniper’s chest, but his enemy counterpart had retreated, his job done. He himself had no choice but to retreat as bullets ricocheted off the window pane. Meanwhile, Medic was still draped over the dead Russian as if the heat of his body could awaken him. Engineer left his Sentry to drag Medic away by the tail of his lab coat.
“He’s dead!” Engineer cried. The doctor thrashed, trying to break the Texan’s hold, but Engineer was firm. “He’s gone, Medic! We have to get out of here!”
All of a sudden, the hellish energy that possessed Medic vanished, leaving him limp in Engineer’s arms. The color drained from his face, tears running down his face. As the BLUs overtook Heavy’s body, the doctor let out a miserable, soul-wrenching wail. Engineer swore he could feel Medic’s heart breaking as they retreated from the incoming forces.
