Its been a year since Pyro joined BLU Team and its been wonderful! New friends! New places to go to or went to already so many bases, so many beautiful things to look at and burn! Everything has just been...wow an experience Pyro could usually only ever dreamt of when they were alone...so alone for so long before they met the guys on BLU Team..and the Red Team but they are a little mean , except their Pyro they seem nice when there not killing each other .Though lately things have soured just a little, a year , a year of all the names and mispronouncenations from others when communicating with Pyro, of course Pyro has tried to voice their concerns but taking off the mask makes them feel so weird and unnatural thankfully Engineer has cleared somethings up as he can understand there muffled speaking but still the nicknames the others give them hurt , not all of them and at first it was nothing but now..when Pyro is starting to actually feel comfortable with the team ...they are starting to feel achey? if thats the word , their chest thumps in a sad way." Nice moves mumbles!" a compliment from Scout...but why does it ache?"LISTEN HERE CHARCOAL HIPPIE !!! WHEN I SAY DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY IT MEANS DROP!"" Thats just Soldier being Soldier....right?"Liiiisss'n h're ya mumbling -hic- gas msksss devil....em drikin so no lads or lassesssss.....zzzzzzz'' Demoman is just drunk, he says weird things when drunk no harm no foul......Heavy thankfully doesn't say anything weird but the looks of caution he gives Pyro hurt just as much as well as the harmless words....harmless..."Zhat THING is on a whole new level of existence , itz a wonder we are not charred meat by now" Ok Spy is a dick bag and that stings badly but still his a friend....right?Pyro shakes their head as they blink a few times , they sit in their room closest to the boiling room which the heat that seeps through the walls helps comfort them when sleeping , rubbing there head as they got lost in thought they kept but sigh , the team are their friends they don't any of things they say right? its all in good comradely....SPy though is questionable on that part though Pyro would never leave them hanging least on purpose and that because when their mind suddenly slips into rainbow and sunshine land....maybe they are on another level of existence? Ah not the time thats a thought for lately but in conclusion the looks and words are really starting hurt Pyro and they hate being hurt, especially by friends...maybe they should tell them? Ah but talking outright is weird...maybe tell Engi? he will know he is a smart guy!..Pyro jumps from their spot on the floor stretching and popping a few joints and bones and with the thought of talking to Engi a spring in their step the firebug opens the door and heads straight to their best friends workshops humming to themselves , talking to the hardhat always made them happy , even when they were sad he always knew how to cheer them up! and never questioned why they were so childish! Who wouldn't love a friend like that? one who didn't judge you for being different...for seeing things to quite right but also right at times? Engineer will understand surely! he always does! Right?
