No. 4063
Here's the part that my computer ate, I'm afraid it's not much. Build up and side plottings.

Engineer's absence went unnoticed during the meal that night by most members of BLU team. It wasn't uncommon for Engineer to skip dinner when he was working in his shop, so no one really thought anything of his disappearance. Spy had made a comment, but the rest of the team seemed to ignore it. It was enough to get Sniper thinking, though.
He had been with Engineer over the last few days, as any friend would be. He saw how torn up the Texan was in Soldier's absence. Even if he had avoided talking about it, it was obvious that was all he was thinking about since he made no process on any of his projects. It didn't take much for Sniper to put two and two together and see that Engineer had most likely gone off to visit Soldier while Medic was occupied. While Sniper would rather not think about what that visit would entail, he knew it would be in Engineer's best interest if Medic didn't make it back down to the infirmary.
As the team began to disperse after the night's dinner, Medic and Pyro stayed behind to clean up. As Medic washed dishes in the sink, Pyro gathered the remaining dishes off the tables.
"Oi! Mumbles!" Sniper hissed from the exit, motioning to come closer. Pyro glanced over at Medic as he set the plates down before waddling over to Sniper with a cautious stride. "You seen Truckie?"
"Shh hmm bffrr dnnrr," Pyro paused for a moment with a thought. "Prrlly wff Slldrr," Pyro chuckled, playfully nudging Sniper with his elbow.
"Eh, that's what I thought too..." Sniper sighed, scratching his head apprehensively as he glanced across the mess hall at Medic, still working on a pile of dishes. "We can't let Medic go back down there."
"Whht?!" Pyro gasped.
"Shh!" Sniper hushed. "You wanna help Truckie out dontcha, mate?" Pyro nodded eagerly. Sniper leaned in closer and pulled Pyro into a huddle. "Alrioght, then. So here's what I was thinkin'..."
- Meanwhile back in the infirmary -
Having done away with the hospital gown, Engineer eased Soldier backwards into the bed with a light push on his defined, hairy chest. Soldier protested in silence at having to break the close contact, but he didn't mind watching Engineer slip out of his overalls that much. He was taking his sweet time as he unbuttoned his work shirt, though. Engineer always took his time and it drove Soldier crazy, more so than usual. One would almost think he was doing it just because he knew how much it made Soldier writhe. He clenched the bed sheets in his fists, as if it would hold him back from just outright pouncing Engineer then and there.
"Jes' hold yer horses there, partner. I reckon we oughta take it nice and slow with you not feeling yer best," Engineer grinned as he watched Soldier watch him hungrily from under his helmet, the only piece of clothing still on the man. It was funny that Soldier never seemed to want to take it off, but damn, did he look sexy leaning back on the bed like that, Engineer thought, pausing as he took in the sight. There was taking it easy, and then there was torture, and this was the latter in Soldier's mind.
"Get on with it," Soldier snapped. As soon as the final button was undone, Soldier sat up and pulled Engineer close again without giving him the chance to shrug off his shirt. Oh well, he thought.
