"What da hell? Put me down!" He yelled, waving his bat back and forth at you. You giggled softly. "You look cute when you do that.." He immediately stop squirming and stared at you. "I'm not cute!!!"

And now we continue this long chapter 😋

Btw, I apologise if I mess up everyone and how they speak..

------------------------

You giggled at his sudden yell of him not being cute. The masked man he called 'Spah' started laughing. "(She/He) called you cute! Hahahaha!!!" The hat man growled and he starts moving around, trying​ to get out of your grip. You looked at him for a second as you were gonna put him back, but you "accidentally" let go of his tiny red shirt, watching his tiny body fall from the tip of your fingers. He screamed loudly as he fell right into the box, a loud, yet soft thud was heard.




"S-Sorry.. My hand slipped...." You said, making a pretend sad face. The hat man stood up and pats himself down. "Tch.. You're fine, (Y/N)..." You watch him move away from the corner, but your eyes moved away from his to another one. Well...... two...

  A little man wearing a gas mask looked up at you, holding a miniature flamethrower. "Hudda.." It waved quite happily. You giggled at his cute wave and waved back. 'This one looks cute!' You thought to yourself as you had your hand in the box to grab the other one. This one has a doctor outfit on and has, what looks like, a weapon? "Oh! Hallo!" He said, moving his glasses up to see you. It appears he doesn't care that he's small and is face to face with a big human. "Jou must be (Y/N)! I'm ze Medic.." He introduced himself as you were still confused at him being okay with this. "Uh.. Yes. Hello Medic." You said with confusion.

Medic smiled and looked down to the box where all the other men are. "Vell.. I can see jou're confused, but let me introduce everyone to jou first.. Zhose two over zhere is Spy und Scout." He points to the two men you saw first, arguing over something. "Zhere is Heavy und Demoman." He points to the big guy who took bites off the box, then the "Demoman".. And it appears he's drinking. "Uh.. is the Demonan drinking?" Medic nods his head and chuckles. "Ja.. He's drunk as hell..." He chuckles again, but went back to introducing. "Now, zhem over there is Pyro, Sniper, und Engineer.. Pryo vas ze one vho vaved at jou."

Pyro looked at you and waved at you again. Your lips formed a small smile as you turn from Pyro to the other guy next to him. This guy is wearing a yellow worker helmet and goggles. He also has a small turret next to him. "Well, hey there. The name's Engineer.. but you can call me Engie." He said, tipping his helmet. Before the man next to Engie, with an Australian hat on spoke, a man with a military helmet shoved him away. "Hello there, young (lady/man). My name is Soldier. I am an American and I hope you are not one of those commies.. cause if you are, you will be blown into tiny bits!" He yelled, pointing his finger at you.

You stayed quiet for a few seconds before asking Medic. "What does he mean by commies?" Medic looked down at Soldier with a soft sigh. "He thinks you're​ a communist.." You stared at the small medic and back at the small Soldier. "I'm not a communist.. I never was..." Soldier made a goofy smile and raised his thumbs up a bit. "But.. I do want to know how you guys became.. well..... Small." I watched almost everyone look down to the small Soldier man. Immediately, he denied everything. "I didn't do it.." Everyone sighed at his response, but the man behind the Soldier came up. "Since he doesn't want to say it, but this idiot roight 'ere messed with a bloody wizard and he changed us into.. well.. smoll men... By the way, the name Sniopah.." He explained, focusing his eyes on you, but back to Soldier.

"Aye!!" The drunk Demo yelled, pointing at the Scout instead of Soldier. "He pissed a fucking wizard and we small men noww..." "Wrong person, you drunk Scottish." Scout said while rolling his eyes. The Scottish turned to Scout, but just say nothing, only drinks more of his alcohol. "Alright??" You said quietly and moved to the fridge. You didn't had at lot of food and beverages in there, so you grabbed chicken meat and some cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes.

After that, you closed the fridge door and to the bread you have on your counter. As soon as you place the chicken meat on the bread, Heavy's head popped up from the box. "What you making, lettle (Y/N)?" You stared at him as his eyes focused on the the chicken meat and bread. "A sandwich??" You noticed his eyes staring at the bread.

"May Heavy have piece when you are done?" He asked while licking his lips. "Uh.... Sure?" You said, confused to the big guy's offer and continue to make the sandwich. You were also getting nervous cause you can feel his eyes staring at you, but mostly the sandwich.

After you were finished making your dinner, you walked up to the box and broke a small sized piece of your bread and dropped it in the box. "The piece is for you, Heavy, but I recommend you share with everyone since they might also be hungry." Heavy nod in agreement and quickly took a big bite of the sandwich, while the others came by and took small bites. You wanted to ask him to take small bites, but you decide to just ignore it as you take bites of your own sandwich, regardless of his size and theirs.

After finishing your small dinner, you look into the box to see half of the broke sandwich gone. Heavy is still eating while the others are laying down. "You guys good? All full?" Loud 'yoms' were heard from Heavy as everyone else held a thumbs up. "I'm full.. and need a rest. Got some place ta sleep in other dan a box?" Scout asked, holding his full stomach. "Maybe a place vith pillows?" You looked away from them and starts moving around in your apartment, looking for something the 9 little men can sleep on or maybe in for tonight.

      But the​ only thing you found for right now is a big pillow. It's big enough for all of them to sleep on.

Question is, will it fit in the box?

  You walked out of you bedroom with the big pillow in your left hand. Dropping the pillow on the table, you moved the box that held everyone in, their bodies swayed with the moving. "Whoa.. Whatcha doing with da box, (Y/N)?" You look at Scout whose watching you take what's basically their temporary home. "Moving it to see if it's a perfect fit for the pillow.. It's all I have for right now, but tomorrow I'll be going to the store to get some things for you guys." Medic walked up to Scout and you. "May I see zhe pillow, (Y/N)?" Confused, you lifted the pillow up so they can see. "It's all I can find.. It could be big enough for all 9 of you guys to sleep on.... I hope.."

"Nein." Medic smiled at you. He seems ok with it. "Zhis is a gud size pillow for all of us." You watched as Medic dropped down and turn to everyone laying down.. except for Heavy cause he's still eating. "Everyone! Ve have a pillow to zleep on!" You chuckled at his words and slowly, you drop the pillow near the box. "I'll try to get something for you guys tomorrow.. right now I need some rest." You explained, watching​ them try to get out of the box so you can put the pillow in carefully, hoping it'll fit. And it does!



  After you put the pillow in, one by one, you grabbed them and place them on the pillow. After they get comfortable, you start walking to your room. "Night everyone!" You yelled back as you closed the door, leaving the 9 sleeping men alone. They said their goodnights back as they get comfortable with the comfy pillow. "It's nice to have someone care for us instead of ignoring the box.." Scout said to himself as he lay his head down against the soft layer and put his hat over his eyes. "Hopefully it'll last for long..."
