TF2 (Reader X Scout): Expect the Unexpected

Ch 11: Making a choice, and taking a chance

The weekend passed by quickly for Scout and (Name), and the end of the weekend meant that (Name) had to go back to work. Scout was a little sad to see her go, but to some extant he needed the alone time to think. After everything that happened yesterday Scout had a lot of things he needed figure out.

And a majority of those things involved (Name).

He didn't want to worry her by being lost in thought for most of the day, and honestly he might have a better time figuring things out when the one haunting his thoughts wasn't there right next to him. He watched as (Name) rushed around the house getting ready to go. As she ran over the house she was going through a list of things she thought Scout should know.

"Feel free to help yourself to anything in the kitchen. You are free to play my video games if any of them strike your interest just make sure to put everything away once you are done with them. You can play my Steam games too if you wish, but you will have to use my computer for that. The mail truck comes around three so if you could get the mail for me I would appreciate it. Just put it on the coffee table for me. You have my number in your cellphone so if anything happens remember you can call me." She paused for a moment as she tilted her head to the side in thought as if trying to remember if there was anything else that she should mention. "Am I forgetting anything?"

Scout just chuckled a little as he said "I don't think you are, toots. Don't worry I'll be fine while you are gone. I can take care of myself."

"I know you can," She said as she smiled. "I should be home by five. Try not to miss me too much Bright Eyes."

Scout's heart skipped a beat when he heard that affectionate little pet name that she had given him. No one had ever given him a sweet name like that before. Usually whatever 'nicknames' that were sent his way were more like insults. He was getting rather attached to little nickname that (Name) had given him. It was sweet. It was even sweeter when (Name) said it, and gave him that happy little smile of hers.

"You are asking for the impossible," Scout joked.

Although, deep down he could admit that it wasn't really a joke and there was a bit of truth in that comment.

(Name) laughed as he patted him on the arm and said "You'll survive. I'll see you later tonight."

With her goodbye given she was out the door. Scout watched from the window as she drove away. Once she was gone Scout sighed as he started gathering up what he needed for his morning run. He made sure to grab his phone and headphones. He was a bit more used to the tech that he existed in (Name)'s world, and slightly amused that he could actually take a phone around with him. Although, the phone did a lot more then answer calls. He made sure the grab his key too. It still had the balloonicorn keychain on it. Scout hadn't taken it off yet although right now Scout didn't really want to bother with it.

Once he had what he needed he slipped his shoes on, and walked outside. He only paused for a second to make sure he locked the door behind him. Double checking to make sure he locked the door was a habit he had since childhood, and he still had it even to this day. Once he was sure the door was locked he started his run. As he ran there were two things waring for attention in his head.

The first  thing was the whole Spy problem that was still there in the back of his head. He was a bit calmer about it, but just thinking about it just caused his rage to slowly rise. How many people on his team knew the truth? He knew Sniper knew the truth, and Medic had to due to being the team doctor. Heavy knew the truth. In that comic he even made a freaking joke about it, and just thinking about it made Scout grit his teeth together in frustration. He wasn't completely sure about Engineer and Demoman, but he was sure Engineer knew at the very least. The only ones he was pretty sure didn't know was Pyro and Soldier. That sort of secret didn't seem like something that someone would tell Pyro. As for Soldier. Well, Soldier was.... Soldier. If he knew the truth, he would have blabbed about it by now. But everyone else?
