Mercs reaction to S/O cuddled up against them and waking them with a kiss, saying, "Good morning, handsome..." Pretty please with gummy bears and whipped cream on top!
Sorry for the wait on this one, I tried to put depth into everyone!

Demoman:
As somebody who frequently wakes up with some form of a hangover, having their s/o there is a godsend. Though, with you there for emotional support also means he’s been cutting back a bit on drinking.
He’s immediately in a much better mood throughout the day! Just being there for him when he wakes up allows him to be much more sociable, it gives him a reason to be out and about just to make it up to you.
Waking up to “Good morning handsome…”, He’s immediately smitten. The love of his life is right there in front of him, and he feels like he doesn’t deserve this, he doesn’t deserve to have somebody like his s/o, but the expression on their face eases that thought. They look so content and happy just being there, and it makes him feel all warm and fuzzy to the point he feels he might cry.
Engineer:
“G’mornin, sweet pea…”
Engineer is awestruck, and doesn’t want to move for fear of disturbing his S/O’s comfortable position. His face is redder than a tomato, but the adoring smile plastered across his face is more than enough to show his feelings about it all.
Eventually, the two of you laugh at how flustered Engie became, and shift a bit closer. They’ll have to get up for work eventually, but the two together are too comfortable to give up another fifteen minutes of sleep.
Heavy:
The feeling of wanting to protect somebody is strong for this man, so when he wakes up to a kiss and to see his S/O there, looking so comfortable and happy, he feels a swell of pride and joy.
When he sits up, the first thing he does is pick up his S/O and kiss them back, holding them bridal style and complimenting them in Russian.
“[Name] is handsome like Heavy. Is good. Heavy likes this about [Name].”
Heavy takes the time to brush out his S/O’s hair and grab whatever they may need for the day (glasses, watch, a mask, their earpiece, etc.)
The comfy atmosphere never once breaks.
Medic:
“Oh stop it meine Liebe, you flatter me-”
The two of you share a laugh as he begins to wake up. He’s rather quick to do so, being a night owl and an early bird simultaneously means that Medic has a mental alarm clock.
Seeing his S/O laying there, willing to be vulnerable around one of the more dangerous mercenaries is something he’s yet to work out the reason for.
He’s reminded of the fire of spunk that they have though when he’s attacked with a kiss and the ruffling of his hair. In reality, he really is flattered, but he’d never tell his S/O to the extent of such. No time, he has experiments to do!
He returns the kiss, but doesn’t allow for his S/O to stay where they are, since the early bird gets the worm- or rather, the fresh coffee. Not that the two mind, whether his S/O is a morning person or not, sleep is a necessary sacrifice for being with him.
The doves also get very, very angry when not fed on time, so...
Pyro:
Pyro immediately returns the gesture, filled with energy for the day thanks to their S/O’s compliment. Even without pyrovision, being with you is like being in a dream world of it’s own.
They let out a muffled laugh at the compliment, and beneath the mask, are honored to have you there with them. The fact their S/O has accepted them for who they are and is so relaxed around them-- even when the other mercs aren’t, is something of a wish come true.
The other mercs have to come get you, since Pyro and their S/O both started a pillow fight upon finishing saying good morning to each other.
Scout:
Immediate ego boost. If you thought Scout could ever feel any better about himself than he did already, then you’re wrong and he will fight you on this.
In reality, Scout is flustered to no end, but tries not to show it outside of the beet red blush that creeps up his face when woken up in this way. Part of him has his doubts that he was ever meant to be with you. After all, who could ever deserve anyone this sweet?
But with your reassurance, he feels so, so much better about receiving compliments and does his best to return the favor, even while he’s still half asleep.
“Hheeey babe, mmorning, ever… uh… tell you how… preeetty you looked? … Yeah, ‘cause you’re… Freakin’, unbelievable, you’re like-- a ghost or somethin’, ‘cause you’re too good t’ be real… Yeah… G’morning…”
Sniper:
Like Scout, Sniper is rather unsure about what he’s ever done to deserve somebody like his S/O. Being awoken to compliments only reassures him that you’re his, and his alone.
That being said, he’ll have his S/O in his arms for the rest of the morning, head resting atop yours as you both get ready. He’ll do his best to return the compliments, but through actions rather than words.
He’ll have a bright grin for the remainder of the morning, too. When the other mercs ask him what’s got him so cheerful so early, he’ll blush and look away, tilting his hat over his face. Moreover, the jitters he gets when you take a moment to rest your head on his shoulder, arms wrapped around his own in front of the others to show why he wore a genuine smile. Giddy as a word under-describes how he feels around his S/O.
Soldier:
“GREAT MORNING, WITH YOU HERE!”
Blunt, to the point, and loyal as a dog, Soldier will be up on his feet the second he hears his S/O talking. He’ll shower them in compliments while carrying them bridal style to make breakfast.
The pride he feels for America still burns bright, but the pride of being able to hold his S/O in his arms outshines it by the magnitude of a sun. He shares your smile.
Spy:
“Good morning, mon amour…”
Having been well versed in the world of romance, Spy is pleasantly surprised that his S/O was the first to initiate a compliment for the morning. Seeing them in his arms, waking up to a kiss, he finds it telling that his S/O truly does care.
In fact, he holds them tighter. Knowing he’ll have to get up for work eventually-- Or perhaps it is a ceasefire, he finds that he cares less with them around. Years and years of putting on a snide, arrogant personality to ward others away has taken its toll, and he wonders how somebody like his S/O had seen so clearly through it and into his very core.
He returns the gesture as well as he can, having difficulty showing his emotions clearly and especially around the mercenaries, whom he must keep his persona around. With every kiss, he almost feels like his S/O is slowly but surely helping him become better, piece by piece.
IZZY HAS NEVER BEEN THE GODLY SORT, no matter how intensely his father had tried to instill the faith upon him in his youth. & yet when he hauls lucius’ unconscious form out of the waves, he considers voicing a prayer to any deity that might be listening that the boy is still alive. he’d been floating for a few hours ; it was already something of a miracle that the sharks didn’t have him for their supper, that he didn’t drift farther from the ship than he did, that izzy was able to find him in the dim light of a slowly approaching sunrise. & it seems that someone had afforded him one more. because before he can utter a word to anyone, lucius is awake, eyes going suddenly wide & terror-stricken.
❝ i’s all right. you’re all right, now, ❞ he says, flinching when the boy clings to him & shifts some weight to his freshly bandaged foot. his tone is rough & uncertain, his voice not used to offering comfort. ❝ don’'t make me regret it. ❞ why izzy had come for the scribe — infuriating as he had been — even he cannot say. he had felled countless men on blackbeard’s orders, never once hesitated to end a life if it meant protecting edward. but this felt different ; lucius was no threat to anyone. he had simply been too close to ed when he’d snapped. in the wrong place at the wrong time. & as izzy helps the half-drowned man steady himself, he recognizes the familiar sensation of guilt, heavy in his gut.
it was his fault — so the least izzy could do was save his life.
❝ don’t worry about the others right now. ❞ before he had finally fallen asleep clutching his empty bottle, edward had mentioned a plan to leave any who would not be useful to them on a spit of sand somewhere, but izzy knew better than to say as much to lucius. was cooking in the sun preferable to drowning in the sea ? izzy didn't know which was a kinder fate. ❝ we need to get back to the ship & you need to find a place to hide before the captain wakes up. ❞
voice hoarse and spent, he doesn't have the energy to shout anymore, so he just clings to the piece of wood beneath him like a lifeline. it's safe to say lucius is nearly terrified out of his mind: he is alone and surrounded by open water, again. it's pitch black, again. and who the hell knows, there might be sharks lurking nearby. oh, great! now he is even more terrified. ' please — guys? anyone? ' his scream is met with silence once again and lucius chokes on a sob, letting his head fall weakly against the wood. the storm has been bad enough and now he is stranded, stuck in one of his nightmares — has been for what seems like forever, when it couldn't actually have been more than a few hours.
water ripples around him, jerking lucius awake. and he nearly lets out another scream when he sees a shadow looming over him. he scrambles for some excuse to spill out, in case it's the navy, but he doesn't need to. he half collapses against @musecraft 's smaller, but much steadier frame and breathes out the first relieved breath of the night, right against his shoulder. ( found )
' thank god, i thought i was going to die. ' shivers wreck through his body now, making it harder for him to speak, but that doesn't deter him from cracking a weak smile. ' aw izzy, didn't know you — you cared. ' a bit lame, he knows, but he thinks a near death experience should grant him some leniency. jokes aside, they have come quite far from their less than amicable start.. so, did izzy actually worry about him? he has certainly found him first, at any rate. reason, however, makes it back into his brain at last and lucius gathers himself upright. ' wait. what about the others? are they okay? '
don’t let me get me
