Mercs are sad/ depressed. What do they want reader to do?

Scout- Even when troubled or upset, Scout tries masking it with a hard, unfeeling exterior like he always does whenever he's having one of his off days: Whether it's a fight with Spy, or an issue with his mom, you'll have a hard time telling as he likes keeping things to himself. The Bostonian insists that you shouldn't worry about it, but you wouldn't have it that way. You press on and on until he can't take it anymore and breaks down. He'll then beg for you to stay and will almost clamber onto you, pulling you into a tight embrace as he chokes in between sobs. Scout may need much to help him calm down- but you were enough: your touch, your understanding, your love. He just needs you to be with him. You just hold him by your side and tell him that if he needed to talk- he'll always have you to run to.

Soldier- Not much is known to upset the hardened American- not Scout, not death, not even the loss of a battle, so when he stops yelling at everybody on the team and just looks into his cup of coffee, you worry a lot. You know that he'll never open up, so you do the only thing you could and hug him tenderly as you assure him that everything will be fine. He may not say it, but Soldier is more than thankful that you're willing to fight this battle with him. The brute then asks if you could make him remember all those wonderful memories he had with you: your first date, your first kiss, your first everything. Before he knows it, he's flashing that toothy grin and returning your embrace, kissing you, or just grunting his approval. You feel good knowing that you make him feel good, no matter how heavy his problem may be.

Pyro- The pyromaniac doesn't feel like going to you out of fear that he'll bother you, but if he has any say, he really just wants nothing more than being with you by the warm fire, especially now in this moment of darkness. But there are times when poor Pyro can't contain it anymore and will seek out for your presence. Once he finds you, he expects you to drop everything you're doing while he mopes around and lays on your lap. Unlike others who'll keep it in, he'll ramble on and on about the things that make him feel bad, and even if you can't understand anything, you pat his head and give frequent nods, telling him that you are just there when he needs you. In most cases, Pyro will lighten up and nuzzle you with the front of his mask. Though the gesture is indeed strange, it is quite endearing as well.

Engineer- The Texan keeps quiet for awhile but will then grab himself a cold bottle of beer, look for you, and just keep you by his side. You immediately know something's up when his jaw is stiff and his eyes are narrow and set on the far horizon; somehow you can still tell even if they are inside those goggles. Anyway, you don't even have to ask the man- he'll just slowly bring up the topic and gradually keep it going, one event leads you to another until you get to the core of his problem. You never really know what to do to calm Engineer, for his needs varies with every type of situation. On milder occasions, he'll settle for a hug or a kiss from you; but as if the situation intensifies and he's suffering much more, Dell will require more such as a deep meaningful conversation, a cuddle session, and more kisses. But it didn't matter to you- it makes you happy to see him smile knowing you'll be with him for as long as possible.

Heavy- He does not like keeping things hidden and will calmly but gruffly tell you his cause of worrying. He knows better than to bottle it up- he fears it'll unexpectedly burst out and scare you, and that's going to be harder to fix. A traditional bowl of borsch and pictures of his sister and mother might help boost his spirits, but the Russian appreciates your companionship the most. Whether it's a simple holding of hands or a strong embrace, he'll see that you value him and it brings warmth yo his heart. It reminds him why he can always count on you when he's having off days!

Demoman- Demo goes on a rampage, yelling obscenities as he briskly paces around the room. You try calming him down, but you know better through your years of relationship and leave him alone instead. The Scot is in distress, almost angry even, as he goes on and on about this particular thing making him mad, until such point that he's completely worn out and just sobs uncontrollably. You then take the man into your arms as you tell him that you'll help him in any way you can and how adorable he could be sometimes. Tavish, in turn, lightens up and tells you how he really feels in a calmer, more organized manner. You two then proceed to talk heart to heart and before you know it, the subject goes from edgy and heartfelt to loose and relaxed. Demo might even forget the problem thanks to you always being by his side.

Medic- The doctor snaps at everybody and wears an angry mask that even you can't get rid of. He'll be more productive than ever, hoping to take his mind off of the problem, but thankfully he comes to you and opens up after he's calmed down. He believes that even men can go and talk about what's bothering them, and he's more than grateful to have you to talk to, or on more overwhelming situations, a shoulder to cry on. He doesn't need you to do much, just to know that you're listening and that you love him is enough for the doctor. At the end of the day, he still won't smile, but will pull you unto his chest and thank you over and over again for the mere fact of being there with him when he needs you the most.

Sniper- He will avoid you for sometime before he's completely okay with opening up to you. He won't be so tame like Medic or Heavy, but he also won't be as furious as Demo- the bushman is more likely to be somewhere in between. Thanks to his ma, he is also much more comfortable with expressing his thoughts out than most other men. Sniper likes to play with your hair and finds it very calming especially in times of distress; but aside from that, he also wishes to be in his camper if he were to clear his thoughts- he feels much safer and at ease. Finally your presence: It surprises the Aussie sometimes how seeing you can already lift his mood and make him forget about the problem, which is where you come in. A cuddle session usually helps things a whole lot, and you always use to it to your advantage when Sniper isn't feeling quite himself.

Spy- The Frenchman prefers to keep it in, hoping that every wisp of smoke he drags out of his cigarette carries along with it the problems that are plaguing his mind. Spy likes to solve his turmoil by himself, but your presence is always more than welcome whenever you'd come by to see him. He'll set you on his lap and run his thumb in circles across any exposed skin on your body, not doing anything but relishing the feel of each other's company. Though not usually a superstitious man, far from it actually, Spy has an irrational fear that whatever is making him feel bad will catch up and take you away from him too. In order to soothe himself, he will take you in his arms as you sleep and take in your scent, a constant reminder that whatever happens, you're still going to be there for him.
