Scout struggles with remembering faces, so when Pyro takes their mask off, they let Scout draw them, just a quick sketch cuz there's no way in hell they're gonna take it off again.
But then Scout shows them the sketch
They hadn't known just how much beauty Scout could fined in their burnt face.
A few weeks later, Pyro corners Scout and despite looking menacing af, they akwardly ask Scout if he can draw them again.
Scout is happy he can get another peek at their face. When he's done drawing, it looks like a whole nother face.
Pyro is confused untill Scout bashfully explains that he focused on different parts of their face than the last time.
Despite the difrence being night abd day, Scout drew them beautifully.
This goes on for a while, every few weeks Pyro will ask Scout to draw them, to see what Scout sees.
Sometime during this, Pyro realized they were down bad for Scout. How they liked to show their face to him! But what if Scout doesn't like them back? Sure he draws them beautifully, but that could just be because of his skill, right?
One day, Pyro is out to find Scout for another drawing when they enter his room. They're shocked to see Scout on the floor, dozens of drawings surrounding him with faces that look similar. When they silently aproach the unaware runner, they notice that the closer the drawings were, the more consistent they get.
They realize, Scout remembers their face...
It freaks them out, and when Scout finally notices them, they're already running out of the door.
Scout looks at the nest of art he had created, knowing he had probably fucked up by constantly attempting to remember Pyro's face. He had known for a while that he had feelings for them. He wouldn't just draw anyone, especially not as much as Pyro.
He grabs his most recent drawing and heads out to find Pyro. He looks everywhere, from the ground to the roof. It's only when the next battle that he finds pyro.
He spends the entire battle trying to catch the firebug so he can apologize, only to be met with enemy fire. After the battle, he finally corners Pyro.
"look, man, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made so many drawings, trying to remember your face when the only reason i got to see it was because i couldn't remember it." He hands Pyro the drawing and tries run off, only to be stopped by Pyro.
"No, Scout. I'm sorry i freaked out, i- i do like it... When you draw me a-and when you try to remember my face... I- i like how you draw me, i look really cute in them..." Pyro blushes as they stammer. Scout blushes too "well, you are very pretty- I MEAN CUTE- I MEAN PRETTY- I- I MEAN-" Scout, like the tsundere he is, tries to pretend he didn't just say what he had sayd.
"you think I'm cute?" Pyro asks, tilting their head as they take off their mask. Scout nods, looking anywhere but at Pyro. Pyro smiles, and when Scout accidentally gets a glance of it, he cannot take this slowburn anymore and kisses pyro, who happily returns tge kiss!
And they killed happily ever after!!!!!!!
