📢Battle Cry (RED!Soldier x Reader)📢

*drags myself on the ground* I am still alive my mercenaries! The adult world is hard and exhausting 😂 but I decided to take a break from requests for a bit and work on a few original ideas of my own uwu so please enjoy!

"NOW LISTEN HERE YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING MAGGOTS! The battlefield is a very loud and dangerous place!! There will be times when your team mates won't even hear your baby cries for help over the gunfire! So...IT IS MY JOB TO TRAIN YOU TO BE AS LOUD AS THE THUNDER!"

Everyone on the team was either half awake, not paying any attention towards Soldiers rammbling, or completely confused on what on earth he was talking about. You were personally were a mix of all three moods.

Your (E/C) orbs were looking off into space seeming like you weren't focusing but your ears were fully listening to Soldier, how could you not hear his booming voice over anything else anyways?

Scout snorted into his bandaged hand while trying not to laugh with Engineer giving the boy a sharp elbow in the side making the Bostonian jump a bit and glare at his comrade.

"What?! Ya gotta admit what tha hell does he even mean? Come on, all of ya's are thinkin it!"

Suddenly a shovel was met with Scouts head as Soldier glared down at him which got snorts from the others including yourself. This poor kid was always getting his ass beat even off the battlefield, in a way you felt bad for him. But at the same time you couldn't help but laugh at his misfortune.

"Hey?! What tha hell is wrong with ya?! I'm just messin around!"

"WAR ISN'T A GAME YOU PILE OF GARBAGE! DROP DOWN AND GIVE ME TWENTY!"

"What?! No way! You can't boss me around like this!"

"MAKE THAT FIFTY!! NOW DOWN!"

Scout loudly growled at Soldier but hesitantly got into position and began doing pushups with the rest of the team sitting comfortably in their seats snickering at him, a dark red blush of embarrassment creeped up on the runners cheeks knowing full well that you were now watching.

As Scout received his just punishment Soldier placed his shovel down and folded his hands behind his back while marching back and fourth.

"As I was saying, because the battlefield is loud and chaotic. You're going to have to be louder and mightier than even my rocket launcher explosions! With that being said, LET ME HEAR YOUR BATTLE CRIES!"

Silence.

You blinked in confusion and looked over at your other team members reactions. Spy rolled his eyes and lit a cigarette with Sniper adjusting his hat over his eyes getting ready for a nap it looked like. Pyro tilted their head as they played with their baloonicorn plushie and Engineer raised an eyebrow at Soldier like he was nuts. Well he was but no one besides Scout really ever had the guts to tell him to his face. Medic was slightly amused by all this as he crossed his arms across his chest with Heavy sighing loudly and shaking his head. He honestly thought this was all pointless but to each their own.

Demoman was busy downing a bottle of whiskey, as usual, and let out a loud burp while laughing afterwards. You almost let out a small laugh yourself but kept quiet for your own sake. But unfortunately poor Demoman didn't fully comprehend the hole he was digging himself into.

"How's THAT for a battle cry eh?! Pretty damn good if I do say so meself!-"

"OH SO YOU THINK THIS IS A GAME HUH?! THEN JOIN YOUR COMRADE ON THE GROUND AND GIVE ME FIFTY TOO!"

"...Fuckin hell."

And so down Demoman went as he to joined Scouts side and began to do pushups. Two down, seven to go.

Honestly at first this seemed completely stupid but you started to warm up towards the idea for your own amusement, anything to keep yourself from joining Sniper in Slumberland was good enough for you.

As Soldier started to become more irritated towards the lack of respect and seriousness from his teammates on the lesson he was trying to teach them, you took a deep breath, moved your (H/L), (H/C) bangs out of your eyes and stood up from your chair making everyone, including Scout and Demoman, turn towards you with surprised and intrigued expressions.

Soldier looked down at your (B/S) frame from under his helmet and softly glared at you, thinking you were getting ready to insult him too when you let out the loudest scream anyone on the team has ever heard you make before.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Both Scout and Demoman stopped mid into their pushups to stare at you with wide eyes and perplexed expressions as did the rest of the crew. Spy's cigarette fell from his mouth and Sniper slowly lifted his hat from off his eyes with his sunglasses almost sliding off the bridge of his nose. Engineer let out a low, long whistle under his breath as Pyro clapped loudly for you and even made their plushie clap their hands too. They were so proud!

Medic blinked in surprise and rose his hand up to his mouth to hide the large grin forming on his lips as Heavy felt his jaw drop slightly, who knew you had all that will power inside yourself?? It was definitely a shell shocker for everyone on the team including Soldier who, despite the stone cold exterior, was overqall impressed with your lungs capacity to scream like a hysterical banshee.

You took deep intakes of breath, never breaking eye contact with Soldier as you felt your hair fall into your face slightly. A few moments of silence passed with the echo of your scream slowly dissipating in the distance until Soldier let out a loud and obnoxious laugh, slapping his knee in the process leaving you confused and slightly embarrassed.

"HAHAHA!! (Y/N) THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!! Not bad for a rookie like yourself! At least YOU contributed towards the lesson. AS FOR THE REST OF YOUR TEAMMATES THEY WILL ALSO BE DOING PUSHUPS FOR THEIR LACK OF PERFORMANCE!"

Everyone groaned or cursed under their breaths but when Soldier started swinging his shovel around again everyone dropped to the ground and began to doing their pushups. Of course Scout and Demoman finished earlier than the rest since they started way later on much to their relief.

You smirked proudly and crossed your arms over your chest and felt Soldiers hand place itself upon your shoulder startling you slightly.

"Thank you (Y/N), its makes my heart pound pride fully knowing that at least you take my advice seriously unlike these worthless scum dwellers! Now if you're ever in trouble I know who to listen for on the battlefield."

"Hehe, thanks.."

His words of declaration made you blush slightly and unconsciously lean into Soldiers side. Despite his harsh words and brutal training methods he really did care about the saftey of his team, especially you. And from that moment on you began to take his silly and outlandish speeches more seriously and learn a little bit more about his secretly soft side.
