Co-Parenting | Ex-Husband!Nikto x F!Reader

You're finally stepping back into the world of dating, with your first official date since divorcing your husband, Nikto. It seems simple enough in theory, but suddenly having the fur baby the two of you co-parent dumped on you causes some issues.

A/N: Okay, some of y'all wanted a continuation of this with ex-husband Nikto, so I have come to deliver you some more food. This one is more of a Sputnik centric chapter than a Nikto one, but he does make an appearance. Also RIP Nathan, you didn't deserve any of this lmao.

Warnings: Mild Gore, Nikto's Possessive Ass.

You have to admit it. 

You look damn good tonight.  

A light touch of makeup, some of your nicer jewellery, and a cute, flowy dress in one of your favourite prints. You give a quick twirl, feeling your confidence return with every passing second you view yourself in the mirror. It’s been a long time since your last date with someone other than your ex-husband, so nerves have been slowly eating you alive, pulling apart your confidence at the seams.  

Nathan is a sweet enough man, always kind and respectful toward you. Normally, you wouldn’t invite a man back to your home on a first date, but the two of you have been meeting for coffee for weeks now, so you’re willing to take the risk. He’s even agreed to pick up dinner and drinks for you so you don’t have to worry about getting anything yourself.  

It feels weird to be thinking about a man other than your previous husband in a romantic way, but you’re determined to push past that discomfort. You can’t just continue to be hung up on your ex-husband for the rest of your life, you need to learn to move on, regardless of how difficult that may be.  

A knock on the door startles you from your thoughts and you hurriedly rush toward the front door. A glance at the clock informs you that it’s almost an hour before Nathan in due to arrive, so you’re a little confused as to who could be disturbing you so early in the evening. You pull the door open without bothering to check through the peephole and are immediately pounced on by a massive creature.  

Two large paws rest upon your shoulder and there’s hot breath being puffed directly into your face. You only barely stop yourself from falling over backwards, but you can’t be mad, not when you see Sputnik grinning at you with her massive smile. She cries loudly at you, trying desperately to lick at your face, despite your futile attempts at saving your poor makeup from the impending slobber.  

A harshly snapped out “ЛЕЖАТЬ!” thankfully has the hyena dropping back down to the floor before too much damage can be inflicted and draws your eyes to the voice’s owner. It’s more than a little frustrating that you feel your nerves settle the moment you spot Nikto behind Sputnik, his eyes slowly dragging over every inch of your body with very little effort to hide his rather obvious interest.  

“You are going out?” The question snaps you out of your brief moment of contemplation and back into the present. You ignore the question since, technically it isn’t any of his business, and telling him that you’re about to spend the evening with another man just feels... strange.  

“What are you two doing here? I thought I was picking up this big baby on Sunday?” Normally, you and Nikto go half and half with the custody of Sputnik – she's Nikto’s pet, obviously, but you know she tends to get stressed if she hasn’t seen you for a while, and you’re more than happy to take her when your ex-husband is on a mission that doesn’t lend itself to having such an animal present – however, you’re more than certain it’s not your time to take over her care.  

“да,” he agrees with a firm nod, “but we are being deployed last minute, she requires care while we are away,” he goes on to explain. “We apologise for the last minute notice, but the kennels on base will no longer accommodate her.” 

That much you do know. Something about Sputnik trying to bite one too many of the canine handlers for the crime of merely existing in their own workplace. She’s allowed to be on base while Nikto is there to control her or left in his quarters, but no longer are they willing to risk the limbs of their poor operatives while Nikto is abroad.  

Although you would normally be up for hyena-sitting, there is one major issue. While Sputnik is tolerant of your female friends, any man other than her precious daddy is considered untrustworthy scum that need to be torn to pieces. Especially, men that get close to you. An unknown male touching you is a crime punishable by death in the hyena’s eyes and you’re not entirely certain if she’s always felt that way or if it’s a trait she’s picked up from her owner.   

Before you can argue, however, Nikto’s phone starts ringing. He presses it to his cloth covered ear and listens to whoever is mumbling on the other end. You can see the subtle shift of his mouth under his balaclava, frowning in clear annoyance at whatever message he’s just received. He covers the phone’s microphone, offering only a quick, “we will be back soon,” before he’s dumping Sputnik’s blanket in your arms and near enough jogging away from your front door.  

You watch, stunned, as he pulls himself into the driver’s side of the car and practically floors it out of the quiet street. Clearly, there’s some kind of emergency he needs to deal with personally. Unfortunately, that doesn’t help fix your current predicament. Sputnik might currently be grinning up at you with an excited giggle, but you know for certain that her demeanour will change the moment poor Nathan arrives.  

Taking a deep breath and letting it out in a loud sigh, you call Sputnik inside, allowing her to sprint around the house. She has her snout pressed to the ground, inspecting the entire perimeter of the building’s interior with the sound of wet sniffing. You let her reacquaint herself with your house then call her into your once shared bedroom.  

Her blanket is spread out across the foot of the bed and immediately Sputnik leaps up so she can roll on the soft material. It’s the same blanket Nikto tends to have on his bed, so it smells strongly of the other man and the hyena is more than happy to try and spread the scent all over your bed.  

It seems you won’t be getting up to anything fun in the bedroom tonight.  

You try to stealthily sneak out the bedroom door without Sputnik noticing, but the moment you’re away from her side she’s lifting her head and looking toward you. “Stay Sputnik,” you say, holding up a hand and backing out of the door, slowly closing it behind you, “be a good girl for mum Sputnik, stay!” She tilts her head to the side like a confused puppy, but stays put, even when you pull the door all the way closed.  

Luckily, you still have a few minutes to touch you the makeup that was slightly smudged by your beloved fur child, before someone knocks on the door for the second time that evening. Before you can even get to the door, you can hear Sputnik's panicked cackling and snarling, accompanied by the sound of sharp claws raking down the wood of your bedroom door.  

You mentally run through the list of commands Nikto has previously taught you, then shout out a firm, “Tiho!” The pronunciation isn’t quite perfect, but Sputnik seems to get the gist of the command and quiets with one final whine.  

When you open the door this time, you’re relieved to find it is in fact Nathan this time. He’s come supplied with the takeout the two of you had agreed on and a nice bottle of wine to share. He thankfully doesn’t seem to have heard Sputnik, for he greets you normally and is happy to come inside and relinquish the food to you at your insistence.  

Serving up the food and wine is a quick process and the two of you are seated on the couch in no time, both happily munching away while some sappy romance film plays in the background. You’re almost able to completely relax and enjoy the evening, chatting about nothing in particular and giggling whenever you’re complimented. You can hear an odd grinding sound in the background, but decide to ignore it since Sputnik hasn’t made a peep otherwise.  

It’s only after the two of you have finished eating that you realise your mistake. After just enough alcohol to get a light buzz and feeling rather relaxed, the night has progressed to you laying on your back on the couch with Nathan settled above you. He’s sat straddling your lap, leant over so the two of you can exchange slow, explorative kisses. Everything seems perfect... until you hear a familiar snarl.  

Your head whips around to see the massive hyena stood in your living room. Her lips are peeled back in an ugly snarl, displaying her huge teeth covered in drool. That’s all you get to see before she’s lunging, grabbing a hold of Nathan’s arm. His screams, filled with panic and pain are terrible, but what’s worse is the sound of bone splintering.  

Sputnik yanks her head back, easily pulling the man off of you and onto the floor. “Sputnik! Fu! Fu!” you quickly shout, shooting up to your feet. The hyena gives you a slightly confused look, tilting her head to the side again as if she doesn’t still have poor Nathan’s arm firmly held between her iron jaws.  

One final command of “drop it!” has her reluctantly releasing her hold. You grab her collar, heaving her muscular body away from Nathan, but the man is already on his feet, making his way for the door. He ignores it when you shout after him, not that you can blame the man. Nor can you blame him for slamming the door closed on his way out and not looking back.  

Sputnik looks up at you with a bright grin, clearly very pleased with herself for “saving you” from the big, nasty man. She leans her snout against your stomach with a self-satisfied huff, and you mourn your poor dress now covered in blood. You really need Nikto to teach you his release command.  

On further investigation, you’re unsurprised to find the large hole gnawed into the bottom of your bedroom door and the corner of the wall. You’re equally as unsurprised when you find Nathan has blocked your phone number.  

When Nikto appears the following day, you’re forced to explain what happened the previous evening. He assures you it won’t be an issue and that Nathan won’t be calling animal control on either of you. You try to ask him how he knows that so certainly, but he simply tells you to leave all the worrying to him. At least he offers to spend the day fixing your wall and door, perhaps the only good thing to come out of all this.

-

Back on base Nikto is greeted by Krueger in their shared rec room. The Austrian eyes Nikto and Sputnik for a moment before asking, “the operation went smoothly?” 

Nikto provides a snort, “да, our mission was a success, yes Sputnik?” he asks, watching as the hyena offers her own pleased snort. “She has protected our girl, just as planned, and that pathetic,” he spits the word, “excuse for a man will stay far away from what is ours.”  

Krueger simply rolls his eyes, “scary fucker.”

part [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8](you are here)... there will be more in the future

And so Lumine, Mia and Marianna headed back to the event.

Suddenly a song played from Mia's pocket. Someone was calling her.

She quickly took out her phone and answered it "Ало, да?" (Hello, yes). It wasn't anything serious, just her and Marianna's mom calling to check up on them.

"What language is this, it sounds like a combination between Shneznayan and Fontaineun, but it's verry diferent different?" Pantalone taught.

That moment everyone was wondering what language is this and why is The Creator herself speaking it to that weird device that can play weird music.

Soon Mia hung up and she countinued to talk to her twin. Nahida decided to ask her about it."Your Grace, may I ask what language was that, and from what country it comes from and what is that device?" Nahida asked. "That device is a phone you can use it for a oot of things, that language is Bulgarian and it's from Bulgaria, my homeland, but I'm not sure if it has a nation in Teyvat corresponding to it" Mia ancwered with a smile as she drank an unknown brown liquid from a clear big cup with a straw (coffee).

"Your Grace, if you would want i could rename Inazuma t-" Ei tried offering but she got interupted by Barbatos "No, Her Grace would want Mondstat to be renamed after her homeland, right Your Grace?" Venti tirned to her hoping for a confirmation but, instead Signora got up "You incompetent failure of an archon, don't put words in Her Grace's mouth" she said with narrowed eyes.

"Wow, wow don't fight here-" Marianna said but she got interrupted by bouth of them saying with anger "Quet impostor" she flipped them off and she took of something from Mia's ear.

"Hey, give me back my airpod" Mia protested "Hm, let's see what you are listening to… emo music, but it's good seven and a half out of ten. Anyway- stop them, they are fighting about which nation will be renamed to Bulgaria, and they won't listen to me".

Soon the event ended in peace but Lumine stayed with Marianna while Mia was going to try to get an abyss mage to tell Lumine's brother that, The Creator herself wants to speak to him.

Mia found a camp and there were two abyss mages. She walked towards them "Hello" she greeted them with a warm smile. They quickly got up and bowed to her "Hello Our Grace, may we ask how we can be of your assistance?" they asid in union. "Can you call Aether?" she asked politely.``Yes, Our Grace '' the mages disappeared and a couple of minutes later they came back with Aether.

He bowed "Hello My Grace, how i can be of your assistance?" Aether asked. "Would you want to talk with your sister? I won't force you to do so but please at least talk to her and properly answer her questions." Mia requested as his eyes widened. "Y-yes Your Grace I will talk to her"

She led him to Lumine who was talking with Mariana in the hallway. As soon as Lumine saw Aether, he teared up and she ran towards him and hugged him crying. "A-Aether!"

The gold-blooded twins let the blonde twins talk to each other.

[time skip to later that night at like 4 am]

Marianna entered Mia's room. Mia wasn't sleeping, she was looking over old books on her desk ever since she got back to her room.

"M-Mia…" Marianna stuttered her voice cracking. Mia's gaze Immediately shot up to her sister and she saw Marianna was about to cry. Mia quickly hugged her and whispered "Marianna what's wrong?". "M-my boyfriend broke up with m-me, b-but he didn't" Mia explained through tears. "Shh don't worry, everything is fine… but I'm confused on what you said" Mia comforted her. "I-I was talking to him on the phone and i got a very bad headache and…" she grinded her tears and took a big breath and shouted "I can read minds since the headache!" she shouted as she teared up even more.

Mia was in complete shock.``How is that even possible" she taught. "I-I don't even know, '' Mia answered. "What. Did she just read my mind?" Mia taught and Marianna answered "Yes, since that headache I can read everyone's minds' '.

Soon Mia calmed down Marianna and she started explaining the situation. " Last night, when I was sleeping I was standing in the pupil of a giant eye. It seemed to belong to a giant fire monster. I could see Earth and many, many other planets, some of them belonging to fictional worlds, some I couldn't recognize. When I woke up I felt refreshed, I felt like I didn't need coffee at all and when I stubbed my toe it didn't hurt at all, but I ignored everything. Then through the day i got random headaches that lasted ten seconds maximum and then a couple of hours ago while i was talking to my now ex, I got an awful headache and i started hearing everyone around me's thoughts, i heard him thinking about how he will dump me and embarrass me" Marianna explained.

"Oh…" Mia was at a loss for words. "It seems, you awoke your creator powers already" Mia smiled a little. "What" was her sister's only reaction.

"So i'm The Creator of the world right? Well apparently, I wanted to live a life so, I placed my body in a random timeline- this one, and I made myself an identical twin sibling-you, and apparently I gave you powers like mine, and I decided to let me and you awaken our powers on our own" Mia explained "also i figured this out on my own" she commented on her statement proudly.

After both of them clered things out, they sat in Mia's bed watching vine compilations all night.

Soon enough it was ten am the next day, they went out of the room and started to walk around, while talking about Mia's dream. In her dream she was sitting in a black void with black eyes all around and below her, yet she felt calm and she fell asleep in her dream, and then woke up from her dream in her dream and then woke up from her dream to the real world. She couldn't remember what she did in the dream world, yet she remembered that it was a lucid dream and that there were other sentient people there.

Suddenly there was a sword coming towards Mia's face but she quickly mover her hand and caught the sword like she knew that was going to happen…"Marianna, I knew that was going to happen…" Mia taught before she collapsed.

Mia quickly picked her up and she rushed her to her room before anyone saw them.

An hour later Mia woke up and Marianna was next to her. Mia quickly got a knife that wasn't there before and she threw it towards the curtain. It stabbed someone. A black entity fell limp on the ground and evaporated.

"Mia how in the RNGesus did you guess that there was this thing and where did that knife come from!?" Marianna asked, eyes wide open.

"It seems I have awoken my powers too" Mia smirked a little to herself.

"W-" Marianna got interrupted before she could say anything "I will know everything, I created everything. As I'm awakening my powers, I will find out everything about the future and past I created, also i know that in an hour i will pass out and when I get up I will too be able to read minds but by choice and, will be able to summon a scythe to fight with" Mia explained "Also both of our weapons will be scythes and your powers will be fire ones and mine will be space, void darkness powers" Mia added. Meanwhile her twin was just staring at her dumb folded, confused and even more confused.

After an hour Mia suddenly passed out, when she awakened four minutes later she could indeed read minds.

"Heh, now both of us can read minds' ' Marianna said "Ooo now we will be able to talk to each other without actually speaking' ' Mia said, her eyes shimmering with excitement.

A week has passed since they both started awakening their powers and as the days passed Mia grew more and more worried "Why is there a dark angel following me around?"

i think i am going to countinue the story but it will follow different charecters with different lifes in this world hell, i think i am going to involve some other games or animes. i think i will start with a made up pantalone assistant that is a cousin of Mia and Marianna but she lost her memories and is trying to get them back. I will start with that when Mia and Marianna aweke their full powers.

Hi Zu!

Do you like poetry? Any favourite poets or poems? And have you ever tried writing a poem yourself? People say it's common among teens to try it, so I'm quite curious.

Wowie, somehow I guessed right! I'm usually not the type to guess anything, but still I had a feeling you'd like riding a bike and ice skating, and it turned out to be true. Very interesting! As for me, I can ride a bike and used to do it quite a lot, but I get tired all too quickly, so active leisure really isn't my cup of tea. Although it is nice to remember times when my cousin and I went much farther than I was allowed to (x I always needed a long break after that, but it still was great. Roller or ice skating though? No way I'm even trying that. The mere thought terrifies me, thank you very much (x

Sure! And, okay, it'll be difficult to explain, but I'll give it a shot. First, I ask the person (or myself) to focus on the question they want answered. They don't need to tell me what that is or explain their situation for context, though I'm ready to listen if they'd like to share anything. Then I listen to my intuition and heart and choose the deck of cards accordingly. Sometimes not just one. As I shuffle, I try to get what kind of reading feels suitable, although sometimes it may change in the process. I feel quite clearly when I need to stop. Then I find the card that wants to be in the place. I can lay them out of order, change them, couple them, and so on and so forth. Whatever feels right, really. Sometimes it's even best to get a few cards and then shuffle the deck more. When everything feels in its place, I start turning the cards over. One of my decks — the Green Oracle — has images, and the others are with some phrases. I look over everything we have and interpret it, with or without knowing the person's situation. I didn't do it for that many people, but those for whom I did were absolutely amazed by how accurate my cards and I were (: Also I make some reading for different characters, and these are always so accurate it's just hilarious! Anyway, time needed to do this may vary, it really depends on what feels right this time, how many cards I need this time, how complex the reading is, lots of things. It also depends on the person, since sometimes we discuss all this together and some people prefer to keep their thoughts to themselves. As for the cards I use... I already mentioned the Green Oracle, and then I have two decks made by my beloved; you have no idea how good she is at creating cards for reading! One of those decks consists of the quotes from my very own stories solely, and it's almost unbelievable how good it works.

Well, Shattered is a completely another matter (x But for humans high heels are simply harmful, so I cannot and will not stand them. It hurts so much to see so many women suffer for some unreachable 'beauty standards' that have nothing to do with reality...

Okay, let's not make this too sad. Back to Russian!

Да, как минимум для меня это действительно фэндом (: Тем более Змеал пишет действительно много. И, н-ну, в том числе из-за депрессии мало что вызывает во мне настолько сильные эмоции настолько постоянно, так что я чрезвычайно ценю то, на что откликаюсь. Например, её творчество. Или твоё ✨

I'm so glad we're on the same page! People like you are truly invaluable to me, so please know I appreciate you and everything you do very much 💞

Btw, how was the tea you mentioned? And... Did I understand right that you're going to watch Major Grom a second time as well? *^*

And yeah, writing in Russian will make you one of the first people who read it! It's going relatively well so far, so I hope you'll enjoy when I'm finished ✨ Lots of dread and confusion are coming when the curse doesn't fall!

Although right now I have my Chinese tasks to finish, and the Chinese class to attend in the evening. Lately we've been working on HSK 4 (it's an international exam for Chinese, the fourth level respectively), it's quite interesting, albeit pretty hard (x I really don't know enough words for it yet. But that's exactly what I need — experience! So I'm determined to continue ❤️

Anything you'd like to share about your day?

(Patiently) Look forward to your reply!

Take care! *hugsss*

Hi anfie╰(*´︶`*)╯

I do. ♡ I used to print out cheat sheets and memorize them for the literature exam, and I still keep some of them that are dear to me, like, Words by Vadim Shefner. Do you know this one? What's your favorite one(s)? And sure I tried! <3 Such a shame yet I don't delete them. What about you? *^*

Seems like your intuition has worked well again! *0* It's alright, a calm walk without risk is the best option after all ✿ Were you forbidden to go far though? :0

Woah. Sounds like real magic! ˚✧₊⁎ Guess that's definitely not what everyone can do, you're really talented and sensitive to such things. I didn’t know you can put a part of yourself into this, as if influencing the process but in fact only adjusting to it. Good luck with this! *^*

True (ó3ò) It feels so weird to follow the "uncomfortable yet beautiful" rule, as if beauty can't be comfortable at all :') But you're right, let's not!

Это действительно здорово, когда творчество может не только зацепить, но и заманить, да так, что и не выбраться, но разве это плохо? ;) Я рада, что моё – одно из таких <3

It's mutual (〃ω〃)♡

Ah, the tea ☆ [* You brought up a dangerous topic. XD] I regularly go to the tea shop for new flavored teas! This is a whole ceremony for me. This time I bought five new ones in small portions to taste each of the flavors: two black teas, with almonds and cocoa beans, and three green ones, with banana, vanilla and cherry. I still don't risk experimenting by mixing varieties, they are really good on their own. ♡ Do you like tea, coffee or maybe cocoa? *^*

And that's right! I'm gonna watch this masterpiece again *^* I couldn't get out after that so I decided to choose a day on the May holidays so as not to rush anywhere. I'm in such anticipation of looking at this from the new point of view while knowing more facts and secrets ☆

Oh I'm ssso excited for your story! (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) It's gonna be amazing ★ Still, take your time, as much as you need <3

And I am so, so happy to hear this liveliness in you, your aspiration, craving and determination. That's the spirit! How was the class today? Good luck with the exam preparation! You can do it, I believe in you (òwó)☆

Oh today was pretty lazy for me yet really nice, thanks! <3 Nighttime is coming, it's getting harder to resist the urge to draw heheh *siiips the tea* ;) I'm looking forward to hearing you again too!

Take care ♡ *hugs*

Headcanon: Ways to trust [Defense classes]

Link to the last one; Headcanon: Ways to trust [Support classes]

We all trust, a lot or a little, always do. We´re sociable and even the most antisocial person does the same, and our beloved mercenaries are no exception. Here, I´ll try to make some headcanons of the ways I think they´d do to show that they trust someone, at the end a snippet. 

Today, defense classes: Engineer, Heavy and Demoman.

Engie.

This man has "two faces", a saying and a HCs explained better ->here<- and, in a short way; he shows a false personality from the real one.

Headcanon.

"Wanna go for a ride, son?". This Texan likes going about his business and alone, if he needs things, without telling the rest of the team, he'd go to the nearest town. However, he'd invite his partner to go with him, especially if it's someone he gets along with and knows he won't be bored. Be prepared to hear bad jokes all the way through!

You're welcome to his workshop. Like Medic, he doesn't mind if someone gets into but not for long. Silence and concentration, he gets annoyed by the slightest noise while doing his job. Although he'd like to talk to someone like Pyro from time to time, they can stay as long as they doesn't light a match... again.

He smiles more. Look, he's smiling most of the day, but that's part of his "fake face". You'll know that you're accessing his true personality when he's praised for his inventions, tries to stay serious and kind of doesn't care, but his pride will show if those words come from someone he trusts. There's nothing that makes this man happy than talking about his creations and knowing that others are interested.

There's a small hidden box where he keeps the few memories he has of his childhood. He has never felt comfortable enough to talk about it and more about his father, but if he does speak about it with someone, It's 'cause he trusts that person very much and he's giving an attempt to open up, this's a very important moment. There, he's showing much of his "true face".

Snippet.

“Wait, is that you? How cute!” His partner was looking at the few photos that were in the box, had a brown color of how old they were, there was a  little boy in his father's arms. “ I wish I had pictures of my childhood too.”

Engie was beside them, watching silently until he noticed something, and pointed it out. It was a picture of him hugging a puppy, he couldn't help but smile.

“Her name was Tess.”

“She´s beautiful.”

“Was... she was beautiful.”

A nostalgic atmosphere dominates the whole workshop. It had been a long time since the Texan had returned to his past and even more so if he talked about it with someone, but it was okay because he knew he could trust his mate. Suddenly they raised their arms and began to put the photographs in the box, They had a serious face.

“We're getting sad and i don´t accept it, the past is past. Although I would have liked to see that dog... but we're here for something else!” They turned to see him and smiled. “You were going to show me something you planned to do.”

That's why he liked ´em so much.

“Heh, yeah, y'are right. “Happiness was shown at once in the engineer bringing up that subject again, he took out a blueprint and put it on the table. “Well, as ya can see here...”

Heavy.

He'll spend time with you. Why waste the time with someone you don't like?Heavy'd let know if he doesn't trust you, he wouldn't talk much and his expressions would say it all. However, if he does, even if he's busy, he'd use some of his time to talk to his mate, ask 'em how they are doing, or just hang out. HCs inspired by this one.

He'll try to speak more. We all know that our dear Russian has a poor English but that doesn't mean he isn't trying to improve it. May ask his friend for help or advice when he doesn't know how to express himself with something and would feel more confident if they respected him and don't laugh at the way he speaks.

His past. He doesn't mind talking about it but will always try to avoid the gulag and what happened to his father. The past is past, yeah, but even a man like Heavy is not so easy to "forget". If one day he confesses what happened to his family that time, it's because he trusts that person a lot. It's a very important step in his confidence and no one should make fun of him.

"You can touch her". Well, what are you waiting for? He's letting you touch HIS weapon, Sasha! It's something very important to him somehow, and it'd look like a dream if he didn't get angry that someone aproached her. You would have to be a great buddy to have such a "privilege".

Snippet.

"Push! Come on! Push!"

"I'm trying but she's toooo heavyyy...! Got it? Cuz -- Nevermind "His partner sat on the floor, taking a breath, looking at him. "Can we get some rest? I think my back is broken."

Heavy laughed as he did the same thing. A few days ago he started training for the next match and his friend decided to join him. Although the exercises seemed very hard for them.

"Sandwich? This will help little."

"You're really strong, man! can pick Sasha up like that and i can't even move her an inch." They raised their eyebrows while they was grabbing it, with a 'thanks' by the way. "How?"

"In gulag, you have time."

"Oh..." their voice got softer when they heard that, was taking the last bites at the sandwich. " Y'know, you're not only physically tough, also psychologically, that was hell and you managed to escape from there with your family."

"And now, Heavy is happy and around with friends, like you. You are good friend."

"Really? Sweet!" They stood up and smiled, seemed to be full of energy and wanting to spend it. "Okay, ready for round two, bear guy?"

"да."

Demoman.

He becomes more touchable. Well, he is already even with a stranger but our dear merc likes to express himself physically, he doesn't just say a "heeey", he'd hug 'em and give 'em a gentle pat on the back. And both have a secret handshake? Then you're best friends. Demo is usually one of those who are quick to trust someone.

Get ready for the party because he´ll drag you to every one! is a night person, and any place is perfect to have fun. Is the weather good? Party in town! Bad weather? Party at the base! Can't it be possible? Party in his room! Demoman likes to be among friends and won't hesitate to invite them, fun is guaranteed with him and laughter too. Just make sure he doesn't drink too much, he tends to get a little sad...

“Sorry if mah mom's a lil´ annoying”. Well, looks like someone's been bought to their house, their cause his mother lives there! He´ll be nervous about taking his partner, apart from his frienemy Soldier, although he´d calm down if he sees that everything is going well. His past is not that bad as Heavy's but if he tells things like what happened in his eye, about his childhood or about his father, that mate must be someone very trustworthy.

His eye-patch. Being called a “cyclops” only makes him remember the stupid mistake he made as a child and it bothers him, only he doesn't show it, he's always afraid that one day he'll forget to put the eyepatch on and his whole team will be scared of him. But if you show him that he's okay as he is, enough to give him the confidence to be around without it, you're already someone important to him.

“ And then... kaboooom! ten dead enemies, ma'am! ten!”

“Did dat really happen?”

“Yeah! your son with only a few explosives eliminated most of the opposing team.”The guest nodded with a smile, they was very happy to tell what happened at the match recently, crossed their arms. “I´d be proud of him, actually, i´m proud of him”.

“Me too.” Said his mother in a soft voice, she seemed to avoid smiling but you could tell she was grateful. "As long as he does a good job, it's okay."

“Okay, lad. I´m done.” Demoman entered the room before putting some things aside, looked at his friend and asked. “Well, yer ready?”

“For the party? Hell yeah dude!”

They stood up and as they approached they did not hesitate to make their secret greeting, it might seem childish, but they did not care. At the end they gave each other a hug and said goodbye to the old lady, they were getting closer to the door, before opening it, his friend spoke.

“You okay without the eye patch?”

“Yep”

“Then, what are we wainting for? let´s go!”
