Meihem (Junkrat X Mei)

Chapter 2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Waking up this morning felt good, like she already knew what she needed to do, and she did.
But at the same time she felt weary of the upcoming conversation, she tried writing up a paragraph or two the night before but she didn't even know what to say.

Three quick raps on her door broke her from her troubled thoughts as she sat on the edge of her bed, still in her pyjamas. A loud high pitched voice beemed through the hard metal of her door.

"You alrigh' luv? Breakfast is ready!"
Ah, Tracer, she always seemed to be asking Mei if she was ok, she could never understand why.

"O-oh right, coming now!"
She yipped back to her friend, hearing her blink away down the hallway she began her acent from her bed.
Slipping a bra on under her pyjama shirt she headed towards her door, stumbling slightly as she attempted to put her slippers on why'll walking.

Exiting her room with a yawn she closed her door behind her before jumping out of her skin at the sound of someone bounding past her with the scratchiest voice ever, immediately recognising it.

"Watch ya' self snowflake!"
The junker yelled as he squeezed past her in the right hallway, his hand sliding across her waist and back as he held her in place to keep himself steady while mid jump.
Feeling his cold metal hand brush across her warm skin was an unwelcome feeling, in her mind that is, her body didn't seem to object sending shivers down her stiff spine.

"Ah sorry!" She mumbled as he slid past, he continued his joyful jumps down the hall and she found her mouth moving without her permission.
"Uh J-junkrat..?

The words quickly spilling from her mouth before she had a chance to catch them.
His head snapped back towards her as he fumbled trying to stop himself skidding due to his previous speed, holding the walls on either side to ground himself.

She began stuttering quickly, getting halfway through her sentence before sighing and beginning the process again then repeating a number of times while twiddling her fingers as she looked at the ground nervously.

In her bumbling state she hadn't noticed the victim of her incoherent muttering walking towards her, even thought his peg wasn't exactly a quiet sound.

Within a few seconds she found herself now looking at his boot instead the ground, slowly looking up at him becoming aware of the stern look in his eyes, coupled with his usual grin. His expression was an odd one.

"What'd ya call me there?"
He didn't sound mad or confused, it was more condensding as she didn't understand. His continued look made the events of last night come flooding back to her already muddled head.

"O-oh right yes sorry! Jamie..."
She liked saying his name, it felt like she was actually talking to him and not the Junkrat that everyone knows and...somewhat loves.

But he seemed to like her saying his name more, he asked her to do so in a moment of...he wasn't really sure, but he wanted her to know that he understood her words without getting too emotional, still embarrassed of his actions that night.
However today the words had the opposite effect on him, his cheeks flushed a slight pink and her voice echoed in his mind frantically.

She was still looking at him, confused at his sudden silence. After all she had done what he asked, now he looked off in his own world again.

"Well I just-.."
Sighing again she put one her hand on her hip and one to her temple, massaging it gently before continuing. She'd decided to ditch the speech and had landed with a simple...

"Sorry"

Now he looked even more confused, he wasn't entirely sure why she was apologising after all he was the one who'd screwed up.
