New Recruits (Junkrat x Male!Reader)

Chapter 9 - Junkrat P.O.V.

   Roadhog had tried to convince him that (Y/n) would come back. Junkrat fought with him for a bit, before eventually agreeing. He was lifted into his bed, and told to go to sleep. But Junkrat was worried, and continued to check the clock, waiting for (Y/n) to return. It was at two in the morning that he jumped down from his hammock to search for his roommate. As quietly as he could, he tiptoed over to the door. Smack, clank, smack, clank.

   Junkrat hesitated. They weren't supposed to leave without their assigned goody-two-shoes, but on the other hand, (Y/n) wasn't supposed to leave his assigned criminals behind either. If he hadn't come back yet, he must not be getting in trouble...it would be fine. It's not like he could get back up to his bed even if he wanted to. Luckily for him, in a rush (Y/n) had left the door cracked open. Junkrat carefully pushed on it until the crack was big enough for him to slide through. No alarms, no Athena, nothing. "Huh." Slowly, he made made his way up the hall and into the lounge.

   There he saw (Y/n) sprawled on the largest of the lounge's couches. Junkrat crouched down beside him and whispered, "Oi!" In an instant (Y/n) was awake and pinning Junkrat to the floor, a dagger at his throat. Junkrat pouted at (Y/n) and said, "Well, hello to you too!" (Y/n) responded by pressing the dagger down harder. At this Junkrat cracked a small smile, before frowning again, remembering the reason he couldn't sleep. "Mate..." his voice was unusually quiet, putting (Y/n) on edge. "...about earlier..." (Y/n) made a disgusted face. "IT AIN'T WHAT YA THINK!" (Y/n) rolled his eyes. 

   "What else could it be?" he scoffed.  "Lot'sa things!" Junkrat said defensively. He sighed and avoided the eyes of the other male. "Roadie was just'a little...annoyed with me." (Y/n) raised an eyebrow. "Okay, a LOT annoyed with me." Junkrat fell silent for a few moments, and then lowered his voice and said, "He was mad that I...that I shot the scrap." (Y/n) gave Junkrat an odd look, and then slowly released him of his position on the ground. He sat back on the couch and patted the seat next to him. Junkrat was confused. He had expected (Y/n) to freak when he brought up Zenyatta, maybe cut a few of his vocal chords, yet...

   Junkrat sat down and started tapping his foot impatiently. He wasn't one for silence, or for sitting still. He didn't dare speak, tough, as (Y/n) still had his dagger drawn. The room was quiet for the next few minutes (save for Junkrat's restless leg bouncing). Then (Y/n) spoke, his voice even and bland. "Looks like we both got scolded, huh?" "Wait, wait, wait. Why would (Y/n) get nagged at for something I did?" Noticing his confusion, (Y/n) grimaced and said, "Yeah, we both fucked up. Just worry about yourself, though, 'cause I got my situation under control." With that he stood up and started walking back to their room.

   Junkrat shouted after him, "HEY! WHAT'S WITH YOU, HUH? YOU THINK YOU'RE COOLER THAN ME?!" (Y/n) ignored him. "Ass."
