Engie's P.O.V.

It's boring, just sitting here and guarding the intel. I wanna go out on the field, but I also don't wanna ruin my perfect death record. Actually, the Administrator said I needed to die more, according to Miss Pauling...

Outside it is.

I take my pistol and my Frontier Justice with me, relying on the accuracy and the guaranteed crits. I run up the ramp and am met with a hiding Medic. I pull out my Justice and race up to him.

"Are you okay, pardner?"

"Zhey have Uber, and mein Heavy just died!" I cock my gun.

"On me, Doc." He nods and pulls out his Kritzkreig, bathing me in the Red glow. I race out just as I hear the Uber wearing off.

"What the-" I one-shot the Soldier and drop the fleeing Blu Medic easily.

"Nice goin', pardner!" Medic cheers and I race out, wrecking the Blu team. I eventually run out of bullets in my Justice and pull out my pistol.

"Ready to charge!"

"C'mon, hit it, Doc!" He hits the charge, and I can feel the power surging through me.

"YEEEEE-HAW!" I put down some more Blu members and make it into the Intel room somehow.

"Alright, now how do we do this? He's got a level three in there, and as far as Ah'm concerned, we don't have our Spah around..." Medic thinks.

"Well, zhe sentry only fires based on team colour, right?" I turn to him and smile.

"Yeah! Okay, you don't hafta go in with me." I put my pistol down and pull off the straps to my suspenders.

"Woah, woah, what are jou doing?!" I let out a small laugh as I continue stripping.

"Not gettin' shot, Doc. That's what Ah'm doin'." I finish, pick up my pistol, and charge into the room, letting out a battle cry as I grab the case and race out. I look at the killboard, and see that the Blu engineer killed himself. I chuckle and stop outside the intel room, picking up my clothes and pulling them back on.

"Ich will have to bleach mein eyes..." I chuckle and pull the Red bands out of my suspender pockets, abandoning my shirt.

"Wait until after the battle, Doc." I pull the bands on and race out with the briefcase. Medic heals me again, which I appreciate. We get back to our intel room easily, most likely because everyone was staring at me in shock.

Soldier's P.O.V.

As the Red Engie raced past spawn, I pulled out my rocket launcher, but then I saw that he was topless. I stared in awe until they were out of sight. Who knew someone built like that could have that kind of physique...

I shake my head to snap out of it and race after them, intent on getting back my intelligence. But lo and behold, what do I see but everyone staring at his body as well.

"THAT IS HIS BODY! YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO STARE!" I kill the rest of the Red team that I can see, then pull out my whip and turn to my team.

"WHO WAS STARING?!" Everyone raises their hands. I whip all of them raw, not noticing that the duo has stolen our intelligence twice now.

"YOU MAGGOTS! THEY ARE ONE CAPTURE AWAY FROM WINNING!" I race off, pulling out my shotgun and racing to the intel room. I immediately stop when I see the Red Medic in a corner, averting his eyes.

"Jeez, Doc! Ah've done this thrice now! Y'all should be used to it!" I peek around the corner to see the Red Engie buck nude. I stop looking quickly as a bright blush takes over my face.

"Wait, who was that?" I turn tail and run, not wanting to get caught peeking.

"Why does leetle Soldier blush?" I shake my head and start banging it on the resupply locker.

"Hey, stop bangin' yer head, mate! Tell us wha happened!"

"I found out how the Engie got past the sentries..." They all gag. I turn away from them and smile softly. He's really intuitive...

"monsieur, if i did not know better, i would zay that 'ou are in love with 'im. but i know better, zo i will keep my mouth shut." I smack him.

"Oh, like nobody knows you and Red Sniper are together!" Spy pales a bit.

"It'z...zat obviouz?" I nod.

"Not to the Administrator, of course, because otherwise, she would end you." He nods and walks away. I chuckle.

"Ceasefire is tomorrow, correct?" I turn back around and nod.

"Well, it'll be some nice time for Demo to catch up with their Soldier." Demo cheers.

"Y O U F A I L E D!" I drop my weapons when the Administrator says that.

"I totally forgot we were losing for a second..." Then we get spawn-killed...as usual...

Engie's P.O.V.

"Are you sure you have no clue who was spyin' on me?" Medic nods.

"If Ich did, Ich would tell jou, would Ich not?" I stamp the ground in anger.

"DAGNABIT, NABIT DAGIT!" I stomp off to my room, not caring when Scout laughs at me. Somebody saw me naked, and there's a high chance that it wasn't my clone on the other team.

I close the door to my room and pull out a photo of my only boyfriend; John Doe. He was so handsome...and I had to cover up my sexuality with stupid girls. Why do people like girls? They're far too squishy and needy.

I remember my first meeting with John like it was yesterday...

*obligatory flashback*

3rd Person P.O.V.

A young man was rushing to his first class of the day, due to having overslept.

Another young man is rushing to class as well, even though he probably shouldn't show up, he's so late.

They don't see each other, and collide. The first young man was holding books, which have now scattered all over the sidewalk. The second was holding a bag of gun magazines, and most of them stayed inside, but a few have spilt onto the path.

They both sputter apologies and start gathering them up for each other.

'Why does he have a bag of weird black boxes?' The first wonders, not knowing of violence or firearms, coming from a well-educated somewhat city-based family.

'Why does he have so many books?' The second wonders, for he comes from a rural farming family, and doesn't really know about higher education.

"Are you okay, mister?" The first says. The second gets a bit stand-offish.

"I'm fine, shorty. What about you?" They exchange their items.

"Ah'm fine. Why do you got a bunch of black boxes?" The second cast a questioning glance at the first.

"You don't know what they are?" The farmer boy pulls out a mag and shows it to the educated one.

"It's a bullet cartridge, for a .45 magnum pistol."

"What...What's a pistol?"

"What? Well then..." The second gestures to all of the books.

"What are all the books for?"

"Education."

"Education? What's that?" The first's jaw drops.

"Okay. I can miss class for this." He positions all his books to be held in one arm, then grabs the farm boy and drags him over to a bench.

The two educate each other on education and guns, among other things. Some people watch them for a bit, before moving on to their classes. By the time they've both finished talking, it's the end of the day.

"AH HELL! AH MISSED ALL'A MAH CLASSES!"

"SHIT! SARGE IS GONNA KILL ME!"

They both look at each other and chuckle.

"Well, all this time together and Ah never learnt your name, Soldier." The military major extends a hand. The engineering major takes it and shakes it.

"John Doe."

"Dell Conagher. Tickled pink ta meetcha."

"Same to you, cutie." Dell blushes lightly and drops John's hand.

"Ah'm not cute..." John chuckles.

"You keep on thinking that. Anyways, I'd love to get to know you better. Not the you that knows what education is, you-you." Dell smiles kindly.

"Ah'd love to know that too. Are ya free tomorrow?"

"Sure am. Wanna head over to the cafe on grounds?" Dell nods. John takes out a piece of paper and a pen, scribbling something on it, then handing it to Dell.

"Just tell me it's you." Then he walks off with his bag of mags. Dell looks at the paper. There's a number scribbled on it. He smiles and folds it carefully, putting it in his pocket before picking up his books and walking back to his dorm.

*flashback end!*

Soldier's P.O.V.

Dell was always a cutie...The Red Engie reminds me of him, kind of. If he grew up.

"If 'ou want to catch ze Red Engineer, 'ou want to go now." I snap out of my thoughts and run outside, immediately spotting the Red Engie heading towards his truck.

"HEY! ENGIE!" I wave enthusiastically. He turns and casts a questioning glance at me. I stop in front of him and catch my breath.

"I was...impressed by your killstreak yesterday! I just wanted to know how you did it." He smiles.

"Well, d'ya mind if we talk while Ah go shoppin'? My team is terrible about their diet..." I nod. Then I notice he's wearing civilian clothes.

"I probably need to change, don't I..." He chuckles and nods. I shrug and shed my jacket, tying it around my waist.

"Uh, yer helmet too, Soldier..." I groan and take off my helmet, squinting when the light hits my unprotected eyes. I notice him blushing, but I brush it off as a trick of the light.

"Okay, I'm ready to go." He smiles and continues walking to his truck. I walk with him.

"Do ya have a name besides 'Soldier'?" I nod.

"Lieutenant Colonel John. How about you?" He chuckles.

"Just Dell." I freeze. He turns to look at me once he notices.

"You okay?"

"Dell...Conagher?" His eyes widen.

"John Doe?" I race forward and crush him in a hug. He hugs back.

"How long has it been...Ten, twenty years?" I pull back.

"Do you still...?" He nods and pulls me forward, crashing his lips onto mine. I kiss back immediately, getting back into the groove quickly. It feels like I never left...

Eventually, we pull away from each other, out of breath. I smile at him. He smiles back.

"Maybe we could get...more acquainted with each other once we get back?~" He sends me a sultry look. I grin.

"Yessir."
