Secret Santa Mishap {Shy!Engineer x Reader}

For LipstickJungle222. Enjoy!
Engie's POV
"Dagnabbit!" I threw down my wrench for the fourth time that night. I looked down at the mechanical creature before me, trying to figure out what was wrong with it. There was a knock on my door, followed by the most heavenly voice.

"Engie? You okay?"
"Ah-Ah'm fine d-darlin'! Nothin' ta worry about!" The door started opening and I quickly covered my little project. I turn around to see the love of my life: (y/n). She was wearin her usual outfit, consisting of a (RED/BLU) baby tee, blue jeans and her (h/c) hair in a braid over her shoulder. Jus' seein her made my heart go a million miles a minute.
"You sure? I heard some clattering."
"Ah'm sure." I rubbed the back of my shaved head, thankful that my goggles covered part of my blushing cheeks.
"Okay, if you're sure." She smiled at me and started to leave, but before she hit the door, she turned back.
"Oh yeah! How's your secret santa gift coming along?" I glanced back at my project.
"Good..."
"Great! I gotta go help Pyro with dinner, so I'll see you later." With that, she left.

I sighed, taking the tarp off of the miniature robotic (favorite animal). I'd gotten (y/n) for secret santa, and at the time, I was ecstatic: maybe this was my chance to tell her how I felt! But the more thought I put into it, the more nervous I became. No way in hell she'd fall for a guy like me. Probably already fallen for the likes a Spy... As I thought, I started working on the (f/animal) again. Without realizing it, I'd fixed whatever problem was keepin' the darn thing from workin'! But I guess I fixed it a little TOO well, as it ran outa my garage and straight into the rec-room.

"What tha hell is THAT?!" Scout yells! I run in and the little (f/animal) is running around Heavy's feet.
"Don't squish it! That's my gift for (y/n)!" Suddenly, the little thing ran off.... straight towards (y/n)'s room!

"EEEP!" (y/n) squealed, and I thought it was over- she would hate me now- but then she came out, holding the (f/animal) in her hand, and smiling. "Engie! Is this yours?" I blushed and my throat closed up.
"I-it.....I-I.....Um, i-it's actually f-for you..." Her eyes got wider, and she smiled at me, making my heart flutter.

"So I was your secret santa?" She asked. I said nothing, just nodded my head, blushing. She giggled. "What a coincidence!" She then went back into her room, and came back out, holding something behind her back. "Close your eyes and hold out your hands!" I did as she asked, and felt something being pressed into my hand. "Open your eyes!" I did, and in my hands was a teddy bear wearing a hardhat. I smiled at it, looking up at (y/n).

"Thank ya (y/n)! I love it!" She smiled sweetly, and kissed my cheek, making me blush.
"Merry Christmas Engie!"

A/N- sorry this took so long. I had NO inspiration. Then I thought about Engie making robots, and Christmas, and thus the story was born!

Also, I started a Q&A/Dare book with the mercs because why the f*ck not. GO CHECK IT OUT!
