Author's Note: feels great to be refreshing my old ideas ^-^
Warnings: None | Pronouns: Neutral
(This is not implied to be exclusively working alongside them in the base.)
Scout
Scout constantly wants to do something. Sitting around for hours makes him restless, so your free time together usually turns into little adventures.
He'll drag you around the town (or whatever city you're in) insisting he knows "the best pizza joint" or "this arcade is gonna blow your mind." Although half the fun is listening to him talk. He's always telling stories throughout, exaggerating every detail while waving his hands around dramatically.
Scout's also very competetive. Whether it's air hockey, basketball, racing games, or mini golf, everything somehow becomes a competition. If you beat him, he'll insist you cheated. If he wins, he'll celebrate like he just won a championship.
But when things slow down, there's a softer side. Late at night he'll flop onto the couch, throw an arm over your shoulders, and put on whatever terrible action movie is playing. Scout will spend half the movie making jokes and the other half unconsciously leaning against you. He loves physical closeness without even realising it.
Soldier
Soldier's idea of quality time is... unique. Some mornings he'll wake you up at dawn because today's lesson is "How to Survive a Communist Bear Attack." Except there are no bears... There are definitely no communists either.
But somehow you're both running obstacle courses through the woods while Soldier enthusiastically narrates military strategies. But despite the insanity, he genuinely enjoys teaching you things, even if they're wildly incorrect.
When you're not on one of his "training exercises", he likes simpler activities. Soldier enjoys grilling outside, polishing weapons while telling increasingly unbelievable war stories, and taking long walks where he points at random birds and confidently misidentifies every single one.
But if you laugh at him, he'll cross his arms dramatically and conversation might sound something like, "That was a bald eagle." , "It was a pigeon." , "A patriotic pigeon."
Pyro
Pyro's version of spending time together revolves around making happy memories. Nobody's entirely sure how Pyro manages it, but suddenly you're decorating cupcakes, painting flower pots, making paper crafts, or blowing bubbles in the backyard. Everything becomes colourful anf fun.
Pyro gets incredibly excited whenever you show interest in one of their hobbies. If you compliment something they made, even if it's something crooked or childish, they'll practically vibrate with happines.
Movie nights are common. Pyro loves animated films and anything visually expressive. They'll excitedly point at favourite scenes, even if you can't understand a word they're saying.
Sometimes the two of you simply sit together in comfortable silence. Pyro leans against you shoulder while absentmindedly drawing little doodles on scraps of paper.
Demoman
Demoman is one of those people who's just fun to be around. He loves inviting you to local pubs/bars, introducing you to everyone as if you're royalty. "You see this one? Best things that's ever happened to me."
He enjoys activities like darts, cards, billiards, storytelling, and laughing until his stomach hurts.
Back home, things become much quieter. He likes teaching you bits of Scottish slang, cooking family recipes (with mixed results), and listening to music while the two of you clean up after dinner.
Sometimes Demo will tell stories about growing up. The funny ones come first. The harder ones come much later, after enough trust has built between you. And those evenings usually end with the two of you sitting on the porch, watching the stars.
Heavy
Heavy treats quiet moments as precious. He grew up in difficult circumstances, so peace is something he never takes for granted.
Many afternoons are spent reading together. He'll sit in a large armchair while you curl up beside him. Sometimes he reads aloud, his deep voice making even ordinary books sound dramatic.
If you're interested, Heavy will happily teach you Russian. Very patiently. He doesn't mind repeating words until you get the right pronounciation.
Heavy genuinely enjoys preparing meals with someone beside him. He'll hand you vegetables to chop while explaining recipes his mother used to make. The kitchen usually ends up filled with laughter and too much food.
Engineer
Engineer absolutely thrives in domestic routines. You'll spend hours in his workshop while he explains how machines work while tinkering with gadgets, occasionally handing you tools so you can help.
"You wanna tighten that bolt?" , "What does it do?" , "Honestly? Not much. But now you're officially part of the project." He secretly loves when you ask questions.
Outside of the workshop, Engie enjoys country drives, fishing trips, barbecues, and sitting on the porch with coffee while listening to crickets. Sometimes you don't even talk. Just existing together is enough.
Other times he'll play his guitar. He likes having you hang around while he strums a few melodies, and loves it if you sing or hum along. Sometimes he plays a melody and asks you to guess the song.
Medic
Medic is endlessly curious. If you mention even the smallest hobby, he'll immediately want to learn everything about it. You paint? Show him. Chess? Challenge accepted. Cooking? He'll somehow turn it into and experiment.
He enjoys museums, bookstores, lectures, and puzzles that keep his mind occupied. He's also unexpectedly theatrical. He loves attending operas and classical concerts.
Back home, he'll dramtically reenact scenes afterward, complete with exaggerated accents and over the top gestures. If you laugh at him, it prompts him to do it more.
Medic absolutely steals your blanket while reading. He acts likes he's not doing anything if you glance at him, but then he acts offended if you try to take it back.
Sniper
Sniper's happiest when life's simple. He isn't interested in crowded places or constant excitement. Instead, he'll invite you camping.
You'll spend mornings making coffee over a campfire while birds wake up around you. He teaches you how to identify animal tracks. How to fish. How to identify birds by their calls.
Long drives through the Australian countryside are another favourite. Sometimes neither of you says a word for an hour and instead just let the radio play softly. The silence never feels awkward. It's always comfortable.
When you're home, he'll quietly fix broken things around the house. If he notices something needs repairing, he'll do it before you even realise.
Spy
Spy excels at making ordinary days feel elegant. He'll take you to quiet cafes, art galleries, high-end resturants, and evening walks through beautifully lit streets.
He enjoys chess because it lets the two of you sit together while exchanging witty remarks. He'll intentionally let you think you're winning... Until the final move.
Back home, his guard lowers. Spy cooks for you, surprisingly well. There will be jazz playing softly from the record player, maybe you'll even dance barefoot in the living room. Neither of you particularly cares who's leading.
Spy also enjoys reading with you. Doesn't matter if you're sitting in opposite chairs or next to each other, the calmess, perhaps with a glass of wine, is something he loves. Those private moments are worth far more to him than any expensive date.
