Hear me out.. How do mercs behave around a person they have a huge crush on?! :D
AAAAAA this one is so cute, iām in love!! š¤©ā¤ļø
literally a fucking DORK around you. tries to impress you constantly with anything and everything he has, ranging from his skill set to his appearance to his personal belongings and much more.
always finds excuses to spend time with you and it can be the most asanine ones in existence. oh? you have free time tomorrow? letās go take a run down the street. you miss your puppy that got lost when you were a kid? letās go to the ends of the earth to find it.
made you borrow his jacket/shirt once because he accidentally spilled a drink all over your shirt. once he saw you in it, he nearly died and didnāt want it back. takes it back anyway due to his pride and though he seems outwardly okay with it, he secretly doesnāt wash the clothing for a long while.
his flirtatious behavior around other people goes down immensely. scout becomes strictly loyal to you once his crush grows stronger and canāt bear the thought of talking with someone else, even if you donāt like him back. it just doesnāt sit with him right.
soldier is much softer and kinder around you. he restrains himself from using any harsh words that could hurt your feelings and tries to slow down on your training.
shows you his pets!! one of his prized possessions that he wonāt allow anyone else to touch, like ever. he trusts you to love and take care of them the same way he does.
everyone has to respect you. if they even give you a slight problem, heāll get on their case about it and probably give them hell before they could even mutter out an apology. you deserve respect and heās gonna make sure you get nothing less.
lots of supportive comments from him! even if itās something small, heāll grin at you proudly and yell out a, āgood job, cupcake! you did great!ā while giving you a strong pat in the back or an approving nod.
pyro is usually sweet and kind with a certain crowd and tries to do the best they can for others, but with their crush? itās a whole different story. theyāre absolutely head over heels for them.
like a lovesick puppy; they will follow you wherever they go with a skip in their step. like, i mean theyāll follow you everywhere. āno, pyro you canāt follow me to the bathroom-!ā they donāt really listen but patiently wait outside anyway.
one of the many mercs who wonāt hesitate to show affection and sees nothing wrong in it. runs up to them and holds their hand firmly with a happy hum, hugs them more than usual, and just straight up gives you all their attention.
oh boy, if tavish has a crush on you, heāll show it when heās absolutely wasted. demo will literally smother you with affection regardless of where you both are and literally latch onto you every second he gets a chance to.
lots of drunk ramblings; heāll lay his head on your shoulder or lap while he mindlessly slurs about how amazing you are, what his favorite thing is about you, and so much more.
itās pretty obvious at that point demo likes you so you admit your liking to him pretty quick and itās funny how shocked he gets. āya knew i liked ya?!ā yes, demo, they did.
when heās sober, heās much more shy with it and controls his actions a lot more. apologizes for his behavior while drunk. tavish exhibits more gentleman behavior, from opening doors to making you a decent dinner and just basically ensuring your comfortability.
heavy is very mature and will accept his feelings pretty quick compared to the others. itās a 50/50 chance with him; if they feel the same, thatās great! if they donāt, then.. heād have no choice but to move on. thatās how life works.
once he does accept it, be expecting a lot of mother hen behavior; he literally watches your every move to make sure youāre safe and healthy. even if you are, he goes out of his way to give you things whenever he knows youāre around; a homemade meal, a blanket, probably some candy. your smile is already more than enough to make up for the little things he does for you. ļæ¼
no one will ever dare to hurt you around heavy (or just in general, really). he senses danger and issues pretty quickly, so itās easy for him to detect any bad intentions. heās like that scary bodyguard who looms behind you, glaring at anyone who radiates rancid vibes to scare them away.
probably takes a while to accept or realize it cause heās always so preoccupied in his lab, being busy and all. but once he does realize it, itās sort of foreign to him at first, so of course, he goes to heavy to speak about his emotions. after being told it was a crush, he pays attention to you a lot more than usual, sometimes even without him noticing.
he gets all giddy when youāre around and although itās not the jumpy, squealing giddy, itās certainly one shown through happy greetings and continuous conversations that seem to be never ending. (you donāt mind though)
makes up random appointments and checkups for the smallest things just to see you and gets very, very excited whenever you decide to come to visit him without his knowledge. nearly drops everything just to attend to you.
he talks to archimedes so much about you that his precious pet basically knows who you are based off his owners reactions and automatically flies to you whenever you enter his lab. that bird is a lot smarter than you think. they get along with you pretty well and medic melts whenever he sees you talk to his birds like he does and play with them.
bless his heart, the poor man will literally faint around his crush. just the sight of them flusters him to his core, and donāt even get me started on their little habits and that godforsaken smile. [hes literally almost died when they grinned at him]
heās already so reserved and quiet as he is, but around them, itās even worse. heās always so scared heās gonna scare them away or say something stupid, but he eventually lets go of the fear and tries to muster up the courage to talk to you.
once he does, he spends a lot of his time with you, often inviting you out to drive around with him or just simply sit outside and enjoy the breeze. he talks a lot more than usual and though he doesnāt completely open up about his past just yet, he does indirectly hint that he trusts you more than anyone in his life.
lots of sleepless nights when he realizes heās in love. he does everything to take you off his mind but all fails in the end and heās kept wide awake thinking about what you two could be. from then on, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep his cool around you and silently begs youāll confess one day or heāll lose it.
sweetheart mode: activated. like itās not a big switch up, since heās naturally a gentleman but itās noticeable enough. youāll notice that your nicknames will start slowly forming to more romantic ones and how he blushes with a smile everytime it leaves his lips.
the other mercs can tell when dell has a crush; he blushes a lot more than usual and they catch him smiling more than once by himself. they realize it when you approach him and he automatically fixes himself to look presentable without a second breath. his voice also changes to a much happier and giddy tone, itās so cute!
stares at you from a distance a lot or whenever youāre distracted with something. half of the time he doesnāt even realize heās doing so but once he catches himself, he blushes and looks away, silently telling himself to quit it. often youāll catch him staring at you, but you ignore it for his sake and laugh to yourself when he smiles back and waves shyly.
takes a long while before he actually accepts the crush, seeing that heās a very secretive and reserved person but once he does, you best believe youāll be spoiled and loved by this man. lots of gentleman behavior!! opening doors, buying you gifts, giving you his coat, and all that fancy stuff.
teases you a lot more than he should; he enjoys your reactions. heāll lean in close enough where your fingers brush slightly, tilt your chin up when he talks to you and makes intense eye contact while doing so. whenever he gets too close or the moment gets too tense, he backs away with a smirk and pretends as if nothing happens.
he listens to you and anything you have on your mind. his door is literally open for you 24/7 and even if you come knocking at 3 am, heāll let you in and listen to what you have to say. you think heās not listening cause heās very unresponsive but when youāre finished and about to leave, he gives really good advice and tells you quietly that heās there for you in an indirect way. depending how close he is to you, heāll let out an experience or two about him to put you at comfort and as thanks for confiding in him. he then walks you back to your room with a simple nod and goodnight.
