phone calls

Flashback.

Only a few minutes until the plane leaves. Dell runs towards the gate at full speed. However, the suitcase he left at the check-in got a wrong label, causing it to end up aboard another plane instead. in fact, that was the plane he was supposed to be on, but instead, he looked at the wrong information board and stepped aboard the plane to (Your country's nearest airport) and all he had taken aboard with him was his wrench and his phone. even the stewards didn't know this plane would go to (your country) they also thought it would fly off to Texas instead. People were pissed and for the right reasons. when they finally landed and found out this wasn't their right destination, people got into fights with the flight attendants and complained at the desk, asking for a refund and an extra tickets. of course they had no choice but to send everyone back, but Dell wasn't allowed back on the plane. His passports validity was terminated. despite it being the airline's fault for wasting his time, they were not allowed to send him onto another plane. The Engineer growled as he filed a complaint at the desk. not only for this but also for losing his luggage as well. Sadly they couldn't help him either.

He had no place to go. Because he couldn't stay at the airport either. so he got kicked out and wandered around the cold streets of (city). For hours, days, weeks, until he came across you.

Back at the present time and your P.O.V

(Y/n): good morning Dell. What would you like to do today?

Dell: well I want to call the guys, see how they are holding up. its been a few months now so I hope they all managed to settle in.

(Y/n): sure thing cowboy.

today is not my day, being the airhead I am at the moment I walk away, but when I remembered what I was meant to ask, I turned around again.

(Y/n): hehe... By the way, what would you like for breakfast?

Dell: I'm fine with whatever you make.

(Y/n): pancakes it is.

Time Skip

Dell walked into the kitchen.

Dell: do I smell bacon? But I thought you were making pancakes.

(Y/n): yeah I am. never had pancakes with bacon and cheese before?

Dell: no. only sweet pancakes.

(Y/n): I really recommend it. Especially for you. I know you love bacon.

Dell: How did you know?

(Y/n): the quote .making bacon.

Dell: oh. right.... I'm still not 100% used to the fact that you know so much about me already.

(Y/n): I'm sorry if that freaks you out. I just wanted you to know. it's better to tell you then to randomly say something that will freak you out even more.

I lay some extra bacon on his plate.

(y/n): here, I made some Bacon without the pancake batter.

Dell: thanks (y/n) you are the best.

short time skip.

Engineers P.O.V

I rub my stomach. those pancakes were like heaven. "(y/n) really knows how to spoil me." I take a seat on the couch, taking my phone from my pocket. "Who could I call first? Maybe medic. I'm curious as to see how he is doing. " I dial the number. not much later the doctor answers the phone.

(Okay, hear me out. i know that old phones used to hang on the wall, the first portable thing that came before the phone was a beeper. and the first mobile phone used to be gigantic. there is no way they could fit in someone's pocket. buy hey, its a story. let's roll with it.)

Medic: uh hello?

Engineer: hey doc. How are you?

Medic: ah herr engineer. I'm doing great over here. I found a new job in one of zhe local hospitals. zhat is after I got my license back.

Engineer: that's great news doc.

Medic: What about you?

Engineer : well...

He tells Ludwig the story from beginning to end.

Medic: Dummkopfs. how could they make such a mistake? and on an airport none zhe less. But let me get zhis straight. You're living with strangers?

Engineer: Yeah. Well, I got to know them and they are very kind people. but before all of this, I had no idea who thet were.

Medic: how many people are zhere?

Engineer: well just misses and mister (l/n) and their daughter

(y/n). She is such a nice lady.

(I'm sorry if you have sibling's in real life .you don't have them in this story)

Medic: I see. Ach mein got look at zhe time. I'm sorry but I have to go.

Engineer: wait a sec. I wanted to ask you something. I want to invite everyone over. so what do you say doc? perhaps you can arrange something for next month? I will call you again for the exact time and where we can meet up.

Medic: is zhe family ok vith zhat?

Engineer: yeah. (y/n) knows us already from the game and other stuff.

Medic: vhat?!

Engineer: it's a long story I'll explain it later.

Medic: ok I really need to go. I'll call you back when I can. okay?

Engineer: alright, bye .

Medic: bye herr engineer.

Engineer dilled another number, this was snipers.

Sniper: oi mate you're still alive! Haha. na I'm just messing with ya.

Engineer: I know. What have you been up to?

So he repeats the process with every team member, calling them, asing about their wellbeing and what they are doing now and where they live. he will also tell everyone the full story about his new life and how it happens. the conversation would always end with dell inviting them over. and last but not least was pyro. he didn't even bother to call him because talking is no option. he just wrote him a letter instead.

Later that afternoon, Medic called engie.

The doctor was quite curious about what he meant earlier. so Dell explained everything about the game's comics and merchandise they are part of. at first, the doctor laughed it off but as the story progressed, his smile faded. he could tell that the engineer wasn't messing with him and finally gave in.

When everything had been arranged he headed towards my room and knocked on the door. I called him in.

Dell: hello young lady. Sorry, it took so long.

(Y/n): Don't sweat it. I understand.

Dell: great. well, I invited them over. they're coming over next month.

(Y/n): well that's great to hear.

I'll make sure to buy some ingredients so I can bake a cake.

(this one is not a lie ^.^)

Dell: sure thing. if you'll excuse me I got something else I need to take care off.

(Y/n): Alright. see you later. " I wonder what it is. well, its none of my business to ask anyway."
