“Gettin’ long,” Sniper comments, reaching at Spy as he passes by.

He tugs a wayward tuft of Spy’s hair, sticking out from under the mask.

Spy leans away, lightly slapping off Sniper’s hand and then at the nape of his neck to feel for the strands. Sniper is right; his hair is growing on the unruly side and difficult to keep in the balaclava. He supposes he should’ve noticed it sooner once his fringes started to slip past his forehead, poking at the corners of his eye. The balaclava usually has the dual purpose of being a hair band and an excuse to not put in the effort of styling it every day. Timing and the general business of traveling between bases had made him lapse with the maintenance.

It’s only after Spy goes through some… vigorous mask touching that his hair makes it out of the tight fabric. It’s even easier now that it’s long, though wearing a collared shirt usually hides it well. 

Without a shirt, however, it’s very apparent that he’s due for a haircut. Even without checking the bathroom mirror, Spy feels Sniper’s eyes on him. More often than not, Sniper is staring at the scars on his back. He might not be looking at the scars this time.

Spy hunches over the sink of the tiny bathroom, combing at his base of his scalp with his fingers until he has the majority of his overgrown hair pulled through from under the balaclava. Then he reaches over to his bag of toiletries for his butterfly knife, taking a handful of messy curls, and makes a cut. 

He tosses the strands into the wastebin. His hair is just damp enough with sweat that it helps to keep it in tidy bundles.

The air shifts as Sniper quickly steps behind him. Spy nearly cuts off Sniper’s fingers trying to make another cut. 

“Woah, wait, wait-” Sniper starts, taking Spy by the wrist. 

Spy turns around and glances at him, one eyebrow raised.

There isn’t really anything Sniper can say that would surprise Spy. Spy can think of a myriad of statements, all of them boiling down to either Sniper wants to help, or he likes the idea of longer hair and wants to leave it as is—even though he’ll never get to see Spy’s face with it.

Sniper, recognizing Spy’s look of blatant assessment, rolls his eyes.

“Didn’t think you were the type to just… not be a bloody ponce about it,” he explains. He releases Spy's wrist, letting him keep the blade. “Thought you’d be needing titanium steel scissors and a barber that charges double my hourly pay.”

“Normally, yes. And don’t be ridiculous. My usual barber charges your monthly wage per session,” Spy says, methodically taking locks of hair and cutting them off. After a thoughtful pause, he asks, “You like it long?”

Sniper shrugs, still watching. “Maybe. I like imagining it. You know. What it might look like.”

“Something to daydream about while you sit in your nest and let your targets pass by…”

“Ah, but you would never know,” Spy says, smirking as he spins the knife in his hand. He can’t see Sniper’s expression, hidden behind him in the mirror’s reflection, but he tilts his head back. “What does it matter to you anyway?”

Sniper tugs at the ends of Spy's hair in retaliation, less teasing and more forceful than the first time.

“Yeah. Thinking ‘bout how silly you’d look now.” His fingers brush across the back of Spy’s neck, pushing the mask up past the hairline and no more than that. “It’s all uneven.”

“It doesn’t,” Sniper replies, keeping his hand still as the movement makes the mask slide further up.

It feels nice, the cool air on his half-exposed neck. The uncut part of his hair sticks uncomfortably to his skin, and Spy thinks he might still be flushed red across the shoulders.

“Well, I can’t have you imagining me looking silly,” Spy says, holding out the knife. “Here.”

Sniper takes it, doing his own little spin that Spy swears he’s never taught him to do. He pulls at a lock of hair, setting the blade beneath it. The cold metal presses along Spy’s skin. 

Sniper bends his head down. Spy can’t feel the kiss against his hair, but Sniper’s breath is warm at the nape of his neck, shifting the loose strands.

“How short?” he asks against Spy’s hair.

Bracing himself over the sink, Spy lets out a quiet huff, unable to fight back the same wry smile that he catches through the mirror.

“As short as you want it.”

Sooo... yeah

I've noticed that the vast majority of my pairings is based on a strong emotional bond and a trust between the characters. I also think that sniperspy isn't an exception. Like, since they both are kinda uncommunicative, since they usually tend to spend their time on their own, away from the team, I believe they could build a mental bond together on that basis. So that they could also interact more, share gossips, secrets, smoking cigs every evening, etc. I mean, their communication gives me a "I'm the only normal person here" vibe, huh.

And... the 6th comic confirmed that Sniper knew Spy was Scout's dad. Surely the other team members knew it too (Heavy cuz he made a joke about it, Medic also could have got some information about their DNA, etc) but still I believe the Sniper was the first person who Spy confessed to due to their closeness, isolation from the others and Sniper's reliability. That's a great opportunity to earn some trust, I guess.

And yes. They're hot af.

P. S. The following fanart doesn't really have any context, so you could interpret it as you wish.

New painting! this is my first full-on painting I've done in a while. Its recreating a scene from my unfinished fanfic that i hope to start publishing soon. for this piece I made a mock-up sfm version of it before i started and it actually helped me a lot, i might start doing that more often for composition-focused pieces.
