It's okay || Scout x Reader

I really don't want to post some angsty stuff twice in a row, but I couldn't help it T_T 

I'm still working on this silly Idea I had in school. It's been months and I'm still not done. Jeez, I'm really slow in writing these xD

__________________________

The Scout was a loud and sometimes obnoxious guy. He wouldn't miss out any chance to brag about anything. So, when he was actually quiet for once, eveyone knew something was wrong. The battles were going just fine. It has been a week and your team was on a winning streak.

Odd.

No words about how amazing he was at the battle. You didn't think much of it. But a week has passed and he started to lock himself up in his room. That made you worry.

You started to watch him during Dinner. He was looking down on his plate the whole time, occasionally lifting his head when someone spoke to him or to seem interested in the others conversations. After Dinner, he was about to leave. You stopped him.

,,Hey, I was wondering if you'd like to play some Poker with us?" It wasn't exactly the best reason to keep him here, since no one talked about Poker, but you could try to talk to the others to have atleast some to play with. He looked around.

,,Uh...Thanks, (Y/N), but I don't feel like it. I'm sorry." with that he disappeared. You looked after him. Maybe the others knew something. So you decided to ask Spy, since he seems to know Scout very well.

He thought for a second. You could've sworn that there was a shimmer of guilt in his eyes just for a second. Spy was about to say something, but gave it a second thought.

,,I guess he's just having a bad day. I'll try to talk with him."

,,I understand that he may have a bad day, but...a week? It's gonna be two weeks in like two days. I'm worried."

He gave you a reassuring smile. ,,As I said, I will talk to him. Don't worry." You returned the smile. ,,Thank you, Spy."

But you didn't make any progress. Scout refused to talk. So you asked Sniper.

,,As far as I know, he grew up without a father. I guess he's thinking about him. Though I have never seen him this sad." He quietly added and set his Kukri, that he has been sharpening aside. You thought about it. That could make sense. Fathers Day was coming near.

,,Thanks, Snipes," you smiled. The Australian returned the smile with a ,,No worries."

,,Scout? It's me, (Y/N). Can I come in?"

There was no response.

,,Please? You have been avoiding us for a little while now and I'm worried."

Maybe he wasn't there. Just when you wanted to turn around, the doorknob turned. You gave him a little smile, relieved that he opened the door.

,,I'm worried about you. Are you okay?"

The Runner smiled and rapidly nodded his head. ,,Yeah. I'm-I'm good. I'm fine."

You raised an eyebrow. ,,Are you sure? You have been acting a little odd lately."

,,Yes, I'm-" He stopped. You looked at him. There was a single tear rolling down his cheek. He immediatly wiped it away. ,,...fine." Scout added. His voice was slightly above a whisper now. His eyes turned down to the floor.

,,Hey..." you whispered, approaching him. Before you could say anything, he embraced you tightly. He was shaking like a leaf. You could feel his ragged breathing throughout his body and how he held it in, sometimes.

,,I'm sorry," he whispered after a moment between silent sobs. ,,I don't know what's wrong with me."

,,No, it's okay. No need to apologize. It's okay to cry." 

You two stayed like this for a few moments, while you whispered comforting words to him.  

In the meantime you moved him to the bed and sat down on it with him. 

,,Do you want to talk about it?" You asked, after he calmed down. He looked around in thoughts. Then he shrugged. 

,,That's the thing. I don't know why." 

You bit down on your bottom lip. How would you bring this up? 

,,Uhm...", you started. ,,Could it be that...Fathers Day is gonna be in a few weeks?" Scout looked at you with a puzzling expression. ,,Why would you think that?" You sighed. 

,,Please forgive me, but I talked with some of the Team and they told me, that you grew up without a father. Perhaps that's the reason and you didn't notice." You didn't mention any names, in case he'd get mad. Fortunately, he didn't. But he was silent. ,,I-I didn't know what to do, I just wanted to help. I'm sorry for bringing this up." You immediately apologized. ,,No, it's alright. I guess you're right. I did think a lot about him lately." He put his head on your shoulder and looked on the floor. 

,,I'd really like to know why he left us. Ma always told me, he loved us. Why did he leave, then? Did he really love her? She doesn't want to talk about it whenever I ask her. That's why I'm starting to doubt her words." 

,,I understand how you feel. You should give your mother some time. Maybe she's trying to protect you. Maybe she's right, no one knows. But trust her until then. 

A small smile formed on his lips. ,,Yeah. You're right...Thank you, (Y/N). I don't know what I would do without you." 

A small laugh escaped your lips. ,,I'm always here for you. The others are playing some games downstairs. Wanna join?" You suggested. He nodded.

You spend the rest of the evening playing Poker and watching TV with the others. You couldn't help but smile, whenever Scout won and talked about how awesome he is at that game. There was the Scout you knew and grew to love.

I just noticed how weird this got towards the end. Idk what I was thinking. I wrote this at 4AM in the night, without thinking much of it xD But anyways, I hope it's somewhat okay :3
