|| The Sweetest Class ||

Chapter 2 || Yes, Now I'm Your Mom

     The ungodly sound of a bugle sang throughout the base at 4:15 in the morning. The sun hadn't even risen over its sleepy blanket. (Y/n) walked into the base, sweaty and tired, as she heard the instrument. She had just returned from a run and needed a water bottle. Shrugging, she figured she could cook something quick since the boys were about to wake up.

     On the other hand, the boys stumbled out of bed, wishing Soldier would one day choke playing that bugle so early. Most stumbled to the communal shower, annoyed with waking up so early -either not morning people or not sleeping early enough to consider it anything more than a nap. As the shower woke them up, the sweet smell of breakfast wafted through, overpowering their scented soaps.

     Engineer and Heavy were the first to be done since their rooms were the closest to the shower. Their eyes widened at the sight before them. Fried eggs, fried pork sausages, Candian bacon, deep-fried potatoes, toasted whole wheat bread, pancakes, and maple syrup covered the mess hall's table.
  "Darling, did you make all this?" Engineer's sweet southern drawl broke (Y/n) out of her concentration on cooking more eggs.
  "Oh! Good morning! I didn't know what you all wanted, but I made some quick breakfast! Please, help yourselves" (Y/n) motioned to all the food she made. The coffee pot made a quick beep, letting the trio know the coffee was ready to go.
  "I can pour you some coffee! What would you like? I have some homo milk (whole milk), sugar, whitener (powdered non-dairy creamer), or some mickey (13 oz (375 ml) bottle of liquor)."
  "Darlin', I don't think I understood anything other than sugar. Can I have a little bit of milk?" Engineer chuckled.
  "Da, same" Heavy nodded. (Y/n) nodded, grabbing two mugs and the milk.

     "Is this heaven or what!" Scout loudly exclaimed as he entered the room, following his nose to the table. Pyro bounced over behind Scout -followed by Spy and Sniper.
  "Good morning! What would you all like to drink?" (Y/n) placed the mugs and more eggs on the table.
  "I'll take coffee, nothing in it." Sniper sat unceremoniously in his spot, grumbling about a bugle.
  "Pareil que le bushman (Same as the bushman)."
  "Milk please!"
  "Hudda!"
  "Pyro asked for some milk." Engineer translated. (Y/n) smiled and walked back to the kitchen. As she poured the drinks, Medic, Demo, and Soldier walked through.
  "So, the mädchen (girl) made breakfast" Medic grumbled and sat next to Heavy. Medic -contrary to belief- absolutely hated mornings and only lived on 2 hours of sleep. He would admit, a proper breakfast was welcomed.
  "She was pretty much done when me and Heavy walked in." Engineer nodded as (Y/n) sat the four drinks expertly.
  "Good morning, you three! What would you like to drink?"
  "Black coffee -if you can, make it like my souls."
  "Coffee! 3 scoops of powdered creamer!"
  "I'll just have some orange juice, lass." (Y/n) nodded and walked back into the kitchen.

     "Are you guys not takin' any of this? Cause this all this is amazing!" Scout was shoveling his mouth with his second helping of Canadian bacon. 
  "Some of us have manners, boy. And we're waiting on the belle (beauty) to join us." Spy grimaced at Scout.
  "'Sides, it's rare to see everyone at a meal together. Sniper, don't you normally hunt for your food?" Engineer commented, taking a sip of his coffee.
  "I just wanted to try. No harm in that, innit?" Sniper looked up as he drank his cup.
  "You guys could've eaten without me. Also, I have another pot of coffee brewing" (Y/n) placed down the drinks, having her own black coffee in front of her.

     The group ate their meal together. For the men, it was highly uncommon to get more than 4 people to eat at the same time -even rarer for Sniper to join them. However, (Y/n) wasn't aware of that. She was just doing a kindness. Of course, with so many people, they all started to have various conversations. Spy made a comment about the girl's liberal use of maple syrup in her morning coffee. Scout got scolded for eating like an animal by Engineer. Sniper and Demo teased Engie about being a father figure to the group. Soldier was talking about how this was an all-American breakfast -before (Y/n) made a joke that the breakfast was made by a Canadian so it's an all-Canadian breakfast. Heavy laughed at that. Medic did not participate in morning talks because he was sleep deprived.
  "So, darling, it looks like you went out?"
   "Just on a quick run then I heard the bugle. So, I figured I can make breakfast while you all get ready."
  "How early were you up?!" Scout almost choked at the thought of waking earlier than the bugle.
  "Since 3 o'clock. Still on Québec time, so I woke up 2 hours earlier than normal." (Y/n) explained.
  "Timezones are a bitch" Sniper nodded in understanding.

     "By the way, for it being a ceasefire day, you're all up early. What time are these missions?"
  "10 o'clock." Heavy nodded.
  "Oh my god! What are you all doing up this early?!"
  "I'd like to know that too -every single fucking day," Medic spoke in a demonically angry tone.
  "To train! After breakfast!"
  "You can do that at 6 or 7 in the morning, General! These men need their sleep! Sniper was on watch all night!" (Y/n) looked horrified at the implication that they all had to be up at exactly the same time every day before sunrise.
  "Sniper doesn't train because he takes watch duty at night. So, he's probably going to sleep after he eats!" Soldier reasoned.
  "But Scout's a growing boy! He needs 8 hours of sleep! And I know for a fact Engineer and Medic didn't sleep until 1 in the morning!" (Y/n) looked like she might have a heart attack.
  "What are you, my ma?" Scout looked confused at the woman.
  "If it means you all get a reasonable sleep, then yes. Now, I'm your mom and you will not be playing that bugle until 5:45 in the morning at the earliest." (Y/n) scolded. Demo and Sniper made a quiet snickering comment to Engineer, who gave a light blush at the teasing. However, everyone -but Soldier- already appreciated the change in the morning schedule.

     (Y/n) took a shower as Medic and Heavy did the dishes. The boys wouldn't let (Y/n) do the dishes since she made breakfast and got them their drinks. After breakfast, Sniper decided the couch was the perfect place to crash. Soldier, Engineer, Pyro, Scout, and Demo were outside. Soldier, Demo, and Scout were training. Engineer and Pyro were just watching them. Spy? Who knows where he went.
  "Got to say, buddy, I hadn't had a breakfast that good since I left Beecave." Engineer sat back in his folding chair.
  "Hudda! Hudda!"
  "You said it. That was nice of her... But, I don't know. Still feel like we're meeting a mask. She's a little too positive and peppy for a mercenary."
  "Hudda?"
  "Aw, firebug, I know you're the sweetest! I'm just a little on edge. She makes herself seem like the heart-on-her-sleeve type. You weren't comfortable with anyone until later."
  "Hudda! Hudda!"
  "Extroverted? I guess that can explain it. She's a people person... Yeah, maybe she's just kind."
