*How They Are When They Lose You*

So reader breaks up with the mercs. How do they deal with it?

Scout- Will lock himself up in his room, lie down on the bed, and cry- a habit of his that has formed throughout his childhood and carried on eversince. At first, he'll be very angry with you, saying how intolerant and inconsiderate you are for ending things for one mistake, but in the end he'll blame and beat himself down constantly, labeling himself with every lewd name, feeling like a failure. As the period of tears pass by, Scout will just be blank- numb, unfeeling, and uncaring. He'll be so miserable he doesn't have the want to talk and babble like he always does- which worries the people around him, especially his mom and teammates.

Soldier- The American will be more than upset, aggressively breaking things around the base and yelling and cursing all the time. He carries his anger out on his teammates, irrationaly and unfairly giving them harsh punishments when an objective or mission was failed to be met. The others leave him alone, knowing all too well that the brute doesn't want to talk when his top is blown. It will take Soldier a few weeks to get his composure again, but it might take years for him to fully heal. In the mean time, he'll have to go on his normal life without you, and that is the heaviest weight for him to bear.

Pyro- The Pyromaniac wouldn't know how to deal with all of the hurt, and therefore cries openly. He'll take off his mask; he feels rather constricted with it on right at the moment. Like Soldier, he'll carry out all the pain by burning others and fighting savagely on the battlefield. Due to his unstable nature, it'll be much harder for him to cope up and move on. Deep in his heart, he wants nothing more than for you to come back and love him again.

Engineer- The Texan won't take it too well like others expect him to. You really were special to him, the one person he loves the most; and when you left, it also felt like you were taking every good thing from him- especially his happiness and will to go on. Dell won't be as efficient on the battlefield, try as he might to stay professional. But despite all that, he won't go into denial- he accepts that you're gone and will be working on moving on and being happy again. He also wishes you the best of luck and won't hold any grudges for the future.

Heavy- The Russian is quiet- deathly, unsettlingly quiet. He won't be distant from his friends and teammates, like locking himself up or going somewhere far, but he also won't talk to anybody unless desperately needed. At night, his head will be filled with questions, insecurities, and depressing thoughts, causing him to lack the sleep the needs. Like Engie, he won't go into denial and will accept that you left him for good- but he won't be wishing for you to come back: If it was meant to work, it should have. This whole experience teaches him that maybe that just wasn't the case for the two of you.

Demoman- Will go back to his old lifestyle of sitting on the couch, watching court dramas with his magical sword, and of course, drinking out of his wits. Only this time, he's not so calm and uncaring and laid back just as he was before- this time, he's snaps at people, curses a lot, and uses melee when on the battlefield- he wants to take his anger out with brute force, and what better way than a good ol' bottle and a sword? He'll cry and sob, saying how much he misses you, but on other times, he'll scoff at the fondest memories of you two when you were still together- why did he even love you in the first place? The whole experience shatters Demo and will push him over the edge unlike any battle he's ever had.

Medic- The doctor will openly show misery, not to a great extent as when he is alone, but others will still know for he'll make it painfully obvious. After a few days, he'll be beyond crying, beyond reason, and due to him being rather insane and unstable, the doctor acts impulsively on everything he does: missions, medical practices, and even the simple act of having breakfast. Like Heavy, despairing thoughts will fill his mind at night, and to cope up with the heartbreak and fatigue, he'll torture any prisoner they have slowly, painfully, and intentionally. Archimedes keeps him in check, making sure his owner doesn't do anything stupid or harmful to himself. The doctor will shut himself off from love for a while, and even then, Medic will still get anxious whenever he feels the littlest tinge of love in his chest. He doesn't want to go through that nightmare ever again.

Sniper- Tells himself that he is alright, when in reality, he is far from it. The bushman retreats in his nest and either shoots dummies and targets or downs entire buckets of coffee, which he sometimes mixes with liquor. He thought you'd be there for him, but on days when he needs you the most, he's always proven otherwise. He tries to move on, he really does, but being the sentimental guy he is, he's reminded of you everywhere he turns: the stars twinkling like your eyes when he cracks a really bad pun, the scent of your clothes still lingering in his camper, and even the trivial things ike your favorite candy- just the mere glimpse of its wrapper always manages to set a lump in his throat. He'll cry at night, hugging a pillow and hoping it'll all be over soon. But sometimes, his lips managed to tug up into a small smile, because he knows that no matter what happens next, he'll still have the team with him with every step he takes.

Spy- He'll fully neglect himself; too caught up in the heartbreak to actually take care of his own well being. He won't eat as much, sleep as much, and laugh as much- heck, he won't even talk to the whole team for how many days! The Frenchman suddenly feels very self conscious and insecure of his own abilities: Was he not enough? Did you see him as a failure? A hopeless dreamer? Whatever the reason was, he'll never truly know, and the thought stabs him in the heart every single time. Like Demo, he'll drown himself in liquor and go to bars all the while hoping that one night stands and lap dances can just take all of this damned pain away. He'll turn into an uncaring man who'll take years to fully heal, and he's thankful that this neat little object called a cigarette was invented; it really helps a lot, and the smell of smoke clears his head of your scent, something he desperately wanted gone. Hell...he wanted every trace of you gone.

Welp this was sad, I dunno I felt like it, and it worked. How do you cope up with break ups?
