Ah, the beach. The premier vacation spot. The sun is shining, the waves are splashing gently against the sand, and... what on Earth is Jamison wearing?

Hoo boy.

It all started early this morning, just like any other day. You were just sitting down to eat your breakfast when Lucio ran up to you.

Lucio had always been your best friend. You were very shy, so when you joined Overwatch, Lucio had stepped up to show you the ropes and make sure you were in your comfort zone. He was nice like that. You could trust him with anything.

Besides Lucio, there was one other person you cared for- were friends with! Yeah, that's it. Everyone looked at Jamison like he was insane [Which, of course, he was], but you felt bad for him. After all, he's been through a lot.

"Hey, Y/n!" He jumped on the couch. "What's new?"

"Nothing much," you replied. "What's going on with you?" He sat up.

"Oh, you know. The whole 'new album came out, fans are going crazy' biz. But have I got some news for you!" You arched your eyebrow. "The team has decided to take a trip to the beach today, and I think you should join us!"

You tensed up.

"The beach? I, uh..." You struggled to get your words out. "I dunno, Lucio... I mean, you know how I get around the others. And besides, I don't really have any clean swimsuits..." True to your word, you didn't have any sort of swim wear.

"Ah, don't worry, Lena and I took care of that!" He rustled around in his duffel bag and pulled out a bikini.

"Oh, no. No, I'm not wearing that." You did NOT want to be seen by the rest of the team in that.

"Come on, Y/n!" Lucio pouted. "Your other favorite person will be there, if you catch my drift!"

You indeed caught it, but you were too focused on what the others would think.

"I'm sorry, Lucio, but I've made up my mind. I'm not going." Lucio tried to give you the puppy eyes in order to convince you, but you resisted.

"All right, if that's what you really want." He set the bikini on the coffee table and stood up. Before he left, he put a hand on your shoulder. "But, Y/n, sometimes it's good for you to step out of your comfort zone. Liven things up a notch, you know what I'm sayin'?" You nod, and he walks towards the door. "Just think about it!" He called back. With that, he left.

His words lingered in your mind for a bit. Lucio has always tried to ease you out of your comfort zone, but this was going a bit far. Besides, the BEACH? Ugh. Too bright, the saltwater stings, and the sand gets everywhere. No, not today. You would much rather marathon Netflix 5.0.

You set down your empty breakfast bowl and grab your newest book. Time to get lost in another world!

...But, to your surprise, you can't focus on the book. Lucio's words keep echoing in your mind. Your eyes drift over to the bikini lying on the table. It... actually looks pretty good. It seems like it would fit you, and there is that can of sunscreen lying around here somewhere. And hey, maybe you would finally get a chance to habe a full-fledged conversation with Jamison.

Whoa, there. Time out. What are you thinking? You already made up your mind. This was too far out of your boundaries.

And yet, you wonder...
