Roadhog snored - loud - and Junkrat would talk in his sleep, along with tossing and turning. You had figured this out the first night you shared a room with the two junkers, and have been begging Winston to switch the room assignments ever since. He refused to budge, however, and so you were stuck sleeping in the same room as those weirdos. At least you were getting used to the sounds at night...or so you thought.Tonight Junkrat was having a nightmare. And, judging by the sobs, it was a pretty bad one. This put you in a strange situation. Junkrat was a wanted criminal, and yet his helpless whimpers tugged at your heartstrings. You had to do something. You considered yelling at him, but decided that that would not be the best course of action. Maybe you could just reach up there and- oh. Yeah. You were shorter than Junkrat (which wasn't saying much), so you couldn't possibly get to his hammock. That left you with one more option - Roadhog. You cringed.
You wouldn't know from experience, but you had a gut feeling that waking up Junkrat's body guard would be suicide. On the other hand, waiting for Roadhog to wake himself up would, one, leave Junkrat suffering, and two, also guarantee you death for your inaction. Great. You slowly pushed yourself out of bed and tiptoed over to Roadhog's mattress. You hovered there for a good five minutes before taking a deep breath. 'Alright, (Y/n), be brave...'
You looked down at his face, er, mask and whispered, "Roadhog?" He didn't move an inch. You gritted your teeth and poked his shoulder. He gave out a sudden, louder than usual snore. You flinched and closed your eyes and...nothing. 'Maybe I should just go back to bed,' you thought. But you knew that wasn't a choice you had to make. You took one more deep breath and braced yourself for death.
You shook Roadhog's shoulder and said aloud, "Roadhog."
He stopped snoring. He was awake. Your immediate though was, 'Oh shit.' Your heart started to beat out of your chest, yet you were strangely calm. 'Is this what you feel like before you die?' you thought. He looked at you (you think) and grunted, "What?" You blinked at him in confusion. No anger? No punching you in the face? "(Y/n)," he grunted in annoyance. Oh, right. "Junkrat-" That's all you had to say. Roadhog was on his feet and at Junkrat's side in an instant.
Roadhog turned to you and pointed at your bed. He wanted you to go to sleep. Fine by you. You laid down and started drifting off. Right before you passed out you saw Roadhog cradling junkrat in his arms, and faintly heard the words "sleepytime jun..." What...?
