Tf2 One-shots [Requests Closed]

Introverted Love {Shy! Medic x Shy! Reader}

For @TajanaMirkovic. Enjoy!

"This is gonna be impossible!"
"Aye. But it'll be worth it the stop the awkward silences."

Scout and Demoman sat in the rec room, plotting. Not to steal intelligence or sneak into the enemy base, but to get two of their teammates together.

You've always been shy. You avoided people whenever possible and couldn't go to parties for fear of anxiety attacks; but things got especially bad when it involved a crush. You'd stutter and blush like a madman, your stomach would tie up into knots, and your heart would beat at the speed of a first-place race car,

This made your job a bit difficult. You became a mercenary in the hope of AVOIDING working with others. When you signed this particular contract, you had no idea that you'd be working with/living with not one, but NINE.

To top it off, you'd fallen for one of them. HARD. With black hair, pale, cream-colored skin, and rounded glasses, the German Doctor became the object of your affections.

Little did you know, the feelings were returned. But there was one problem:

He was just as shy.

He was known for staying in his office after fights, only ever leaving for battles and food. His quarters were attached to the med bay, so sleep was only a short walk away.

But sleep was hard to come by when all he could think of was you. The way your (h/l) (h/c) hair bounced when you ran across the battlefield also ran across his mind when he tried to sleep. Your (e/c) eyes shone in his mind when he tried to close his own.

But why were Scout and Demo so interested in getting you two together?

Because the awkwardness spread!

Whenever you were near each other, you both fell silent, huge blushes crossing your faces. Others tried to talk to you two, but nervous stutters was all they received. This hindered certain things, such as team meetings.

So the team decided to do something about it: put you two in a room together until you stop being awkward.

Easier said than done.

"Alrigh' lad," said Demo, "here's the plan. You take care a (y/n), I'll handle doc. We'll stick em in the hall closet together and keep em there till they talk to each other. Got it?"

"God demo! We've been over this like, a billion times! I GET IT!"
"Alrigh'! Stop yellin!" Demo said before sighing. "Let's go."

~Timeskip~

"Why do you need me to get something from the closet Scout. You're taller than me," you asked Scout, suspicious of his intentions.
"Yeah, but..." He paused trying to think of some excuse. "It's, uh... In the back! Yeah! Past some boxes, an I'm to big ta get through."

You eyes him suspiciously. "I don't believe you." You began to walk away, and Scout knew there was only one way to convince you.

"(y/n)?" He called sadly. You cringed, knowing exactly what he was doing.

"Scout, it isn't going to work this time, I- aww..."

Scout's famous puppy- eyes melted your heart, and you quietly cursed yourself for being so easily swayed.

"Let's go..."

~Meanwhile~

"Nein!"
"Aw, c'mon doc! I cannae reach it."
"Ve are ze same height! It could make no difference for me to try."
"Oh, uh... Did I say I couldn't reach it? I meant... I cannae find it!"

Medic rolled his eyes, returning to his work. But Demo wouldn't let up. After about twenty minutes of pestering, the doctor gave in.

"Verdamnit, fine! Let's go to ze closet!"

~Back to you~

You followed Scout to the hallway closet, still mad at yourself for being so easily persuaded. Scout opened the door for you and you walked in, looking around.

"What shelf did you say it was on?"
"Uh, the lower one."
"I don't see it."

Scout smirked and grabbed hold of the door.
"Keep lookin!" He said before slamming the door. You whipped your head around and ran to the door, pounding on it. You gave up though, after it was clear Scout wasn't letting you out. So you took a seat on the floor, resting your head on your knees, and waited for someone to pass by.

Medic followed Demo to the closet, grumbling the entire way. Demo stopped in front of the closet, and Medic stopped as well, crossing his arms. Demo gestured to the door, a smug look on his face. Medic rolled his eyes and took hold of the door handle. He opened it, and was shoved in by Demo, before the door was locked behind him. He got up and pounded the door for a bit, before recognizing another presence in the room.

You stared at each other, like deer in headlights, bright blushes crossing your faces. A knock sounded on the closet door, diverting both of your attentions to it.

"Alrigh' you two, here's the deal. No one's gettin' outa tha closet until you two talk about your feelings!" Footsteps sounded and faded away, leaving you and Medic alone once again. Neither of you spoke for a while. But curiosity got ahold of you.

"U-um... W-what did h-he mean b-by 'feelings'?" You asked hesitantly. Medic blushed furiously.

"I- ah. I believe he's referring to, Vell, some romantic feelings, I may haff for jou..." He said awkwardly. You looked up from your feet, wide-eyed.

"Y-you l-like me?"
"J-Ja... A bit."
You blushed and looked at your feet, a small smile on your face. "M-me too..."

Medic looked at you, surprised. You met his gaze shyly, and you both smiled.
