It was a dark and dreary night. You tossed and turned in your sleep.

You were having that dream again, where you lost him. You let a out a loud shriek before sitting up quickly, realizing it was all a dream. You breathed heavily, trying to calm down, trying to hold back tears.

Genji:
You could hear his quick and light footsteps racing toward your room. The door bursted open.

"Are you okay?" He rushed to your bedside and immediately hugged you, relieved that you weren't injured.

He grasped your hand and sat beside you on the bed, gently stroking your back. "I-I had the dream again..." Your eyes began to well up with tears again.

He slowly turned you toward him.

"Listen..." He softly trailed off, while gently rubbing your hand.

"I.. I am strong now. Stronger than I've ever been. I can assure you that I will be fine. We will be fine." He happily said.

He patted your head and wiped the remaining tears you had left.

He slowly stood up, giving out his hand to you.

"Here, why don't I make you some tea? It'll calm you down." He said sincerely.

"Sounds good.." You smiled, taking his hand.

McCree:
There was a loud and sudden kick at the door. It quickly flung open revealing the cowboy with his Peacekeeper drawn in one hand, and a flashbang grenade in the other.

"Geez.. I thought you were getting kidnapped or somethin'." He sighed. He set down his firearm and grenade on the bedside table.

"I'm sorry..." You looked down at the bedsheets. "It's just that.. I had a dream..." You said quietly.

He slowly walked over to the bed and situated himself right in front you.

"A dream? What about?" The cowboy curiously asked, while taking his hat off and putting it to the side of him.

"Reaper shot you, and you didn't... Survive..." You covered your face to hide your crying, but he could still hear the muffled sniffles through your hands.

McCree gently grabbed your hands and held them.

He gave a little smirk. "Honey. I don't die easily. Hell, I can't die now. I have to protect you." He chuckled.

He slowly crawled next to you and wrapped his arms around you.

"I ain't going nowhere." The cowboy kissed your forehead, still surrounding you with the warmth of his body.

Reaper:
The phantom suddenly appeared in front of your window.

He walked to your bedside, looking down at you.

"I'm sorry.." You looked away, slightly intimidated by his stare.

"It's.. Fine." You heard him whisper.

He sat on the side of the bed awkwardly, not saying a word.

Seeing the sight of him still alive and well now relieved you, even though he was quiet and awkward.
