Fatherhood, it wasn't something he expected, nor was it something he asked for, but here he was, checking up on his only son.
Scout had been sleeping in the bathroom ever since it had began snowing. He claimed and insisted that it was completely fine for him to sleep outside in the lake, but that was before Spy had found him face first, in the snow, during a blizzard, trying to find some warmth, right outside the door. Ever since, he's been sleeping in the nice warm bath water of the RED base and was NOT allowed to go outside or work. As a result of his stubbornness, the Merman now had the flu.
He remembered how the events had went clearly.
Spy knew his kid almost as good as his mother and brothers, so he expected him to change his mind last minute.
How he WISHED he would have.
He had no prior knowledge of the blizzard, none of them did. So Spy ended up panicking when the winds picked up. He'd realised his son was outside.
The Cecelia rushed to grab his jacket and his boots, filing the door open to find Scout before the weather got worse.
He didn't travel far. Just a few feet before he saw his child passed out and as pale as the snow, in barely anything but the bandages around his arms, a pair of earmuffs, and a scarf.
This terrified Spy.
He put his hand under his son's chin and the other on one of his gills. Thankfully he was breathing, and his gills were opening and closing. But It was slow. It was very slow.
Spy slowly picked Scout up in his arms and wrapped him in his jacket, hoping it would protect him from the biting cold. He wasn't about to loose his kid. He held him tightly, as if he would fly away if he let go. Then began heading back to the base.
His fins on his ears were cold to the touch, and his scales were frozen, making his usually fluid movement difficult. His dorsal and tail fin were completely frozen, the water having helped freeze it.
Spy quietly opened the door, Scout's head now resting on his shoulder, and was using Spy's jacket as a blanket. But that was instantly put up, as were Scout's earmuffs and scarf, as both were covered in snow.
"Bloody hell. Is the boy alright?" Engineer asked as he tried to light a fire. This caused Pyro to look at their friend in shock, they were watching Engie try to light it.
Spy nodded "He's breathing, but he's as cold as ice." As pure parental instinct kicked in, he held his boy tighter. "I'm going to go put him in the tub, I need you and Pyro to light the fire. "
"Well, I'm trying to light it, but this goddamn spell won't work." Engineer huffed as he held up the spell book. Spy pointed at the line of text, making the Texan realise he was reading the wrong spell. "Oh." He muttered, causing Pyro to laugh.
Spy rolled his eyes and carried Scout into the bathroom and placed him in the tub, then turned on the tap and slowly let the tub fill with warm water. The water from the tap instantly hit Scout's face and he woke up with a start, his forehead hitting the tap as he got up "FUCK!"
"Profanity."
"FUCK YOUR PROFANITY, THIS SHIT HURTS!" Scout shouted to Spy as he moved away from the tap and leaned against the side of the tub. Once the pain went away, he looked at his surroundings "What- how did I-?"
"I carried you." Spy huffed, he crossed his legs and was about to reach for his cigarettes when he remembered 'SHIT my kid has asthma.' and favored putting his hand in his pocket instead.
The two were in an awkward silence for a bit before Scout silently said "Thanks, you know, you didn't have to."
Spy raised an eyebrow "I didn't have to what? Make sure you didn't freeze to death?"
Scout rolled his eyes "Yeah, what ever."
"Scout, you're my child, I'm not going to let you freeze out there. You'd be free to sleep out there ANNNNY time during the Spring, Summer, or Fall, but not during Winter." Spy said sternly "You could have died."
"I would've respawned!"
"Respawn's off."
"Oh. Well shit."
The French Father couldn't help but sigh, he put his hand on Scout's and gave it a squeeze, just like what his mother use to do when he was a child. Scout's hand was cold and smooth, unlike his which was the opposite "Look, my point is, you need to stop getting yourself in potentially dangerous situations, you shouldn't have left the pond."
"It was freezing over!"
"I would have asked somebody to get you out."
"Well the water was... cold."
"That's not true, water's always warm during winter."
Scout was out of options... and excuses, truth was, he didn't want to be alone. But he certainly wasn't going to tell Spy that.
He didn't have to, Spy could see it in the look on his face. He got down on one knee and gave his son a nice warm hug. This had taken Scout aback, but he hugged back, he never knew what it was previously like to have a father, but now he knew what fatherly affection was like. Then he sneezed.
"Did you just sneeze on me?"
"Uhhhhhhhhh.... nooooooooooooooo......?"
Spy let go of Scout and felt his forehead, he was burning up. Great, he was sick, they'd probably have to ask BLU Scout if he could fill in for his older brother. "It seems like you have a fever."
"No I don't" Scout sniffed
"Yes you do."
"No I don't"
"Scout I'm not playing this game."
"What game?"
Spy face palmed and looked at his child through his fingers. "Look, my point is, you're sick and you need to rest." With that, Spy turned off the faucet.
"Spy, I'm fine really, I'm-" Scout's sentence ended quickly when he sneezed multiple times in a row. "I'm sick."
Spy gave him a sympathetic look and stood up, then ruffled Scout's hair. "Well, either way, you should rest up."
Scout groaned and slid under the surface as Spy was heading towards the door.
Spy shut off the bathroom lights.
Before he left, Scout popped up out of the water and said "Hey, thanks for bringin' me in..."
Then, Spy finally smiled "It's my job to make sure you're ok. Now go to sleep"
"Ugh, fiiiine..." Scout yawned then sank his head back underwater "G'night Dad."
Spy turned around to look at Scout, then smiled to himself "Sleep well Jeremy..."
Then he went through the door and let the Merman rest.
