Overwatch X Reader

Mei X Shy!Reader: Mistletoe

A/N: Hello again, folks! Today, we return to your regularly scheduled Overwatch X Reader stories! Mei is a precious one and must be protected. Though, granted, she can protect herself already, cause, you know, she can summon a giant wall of ice at will... Yeah, I'm getting off track.

For the record, I did change the original prompt a bit. Just a heads-up. This probably won't happen again.

PLEASE critique! If you think something is wrong or my writing style needs improvement, say so! Requests are CLOSED! I hope you enjoy!

It was quiet. The snow gently fell through the sky and into your open palm. Quiet environments like this helped rest your bones. You were not a very talkative person, and people respected that. Tonight, you were just a touch out of your zone, but it was suitable enough.

You had just left an environmental awareness meeting with your friend and fellow Overwatch agent, Mei-Ling Zhou. Mei's goal in life is to fight for environmental reform and the protection of our world. You found this cause noble, and vowed to support her in any way you could. This included going to awareness meetings, protests, and so on. It was good work. Right now, however, you were just focused on what was right in front of you.

"Y/n?"

...

"Y/n?"

...

"Y/n!"

There she was. You got lost in your thoughts for a moment. She was just... so beautiful. You shook your head.

"Sorry, I didn't see you there."

"I'm right in front of you, silly!" She patted you on the head. Cute. "Come on, follow me. I've got a surprise for you!"

You raised your eyebrows. A surprise? What did she mean by that? You pondered for a second. The next thing you knew, you were being dragged by the arm through the cold winter breeze. You couldn't help but give a huge grin when you heard her laughing. Her voice.

Back at the base, you heard lively chatter and general excitement. Interesting. As you opened the door, you were greeted by Reinhardt's booming laughter and holiday spirit.

The team had decided to throw a great big holiday party while you and Mei were finishing up. This was unexpected, to say the least. On the other hand, it looked like fun, and a lot of stress had been picking at you for a while, so this was the perfect way to lift your spirits. Mei herself seemed very excited.

And best of all, everyone was happy to see you.

Lena gave you a tackle-hug (taking on new meaning, given her super speed) and knocked you right to the ground, much to everyone's humor and your chagrin.

"Where have you two been, loves? We missed you!" She smiled.

"Just finishing the meeting," you replied, standing.

"Well, come join the party!" Jesse gestured. "Hot chocolate's not getting any warmer!"

"I hear that!" Lucio called out.

"I heard it, too!" Winston finished.

The hot chocolate was delicious. You relaxed on the couch, subject to Reinhardt's glory day stories. Mei sat beside you. Her company always brought you a bit of comfort.

You weaved through the party, engaged in several talks with everyone else, catching up on their recent adventures, from Zenyatta's cold mountain walks to Satya's new projects. You, in turn, recalled your latest exploits and entertained them.

After a while, you walked back to the water fountain for another drink, but you weren't looking where you were going. 

"Owch!" 

You and Mei walked right into each other. A flurry of apologies from both you and her came until you looked up. Placed right above the two of you was... 

"Mistletoe," You squeaked. The environment around you had suddenly become a bit quieter. You could hear soft gasps from a number of the team members, including Angela and Hana, who were right in your field of view. 

"Oh my god, they're gonna KISS!!!" Jamison yelled. A quick fire from Mei's endothermic blaster silenced him in a block of ice.

You slowly put your hand on her cheek. You leaned in, and... 

The entire base erupted into chaos after that kiss. Not a bad chaos, but the party got even crazier. The two of you eventually stepped outside to get some air. 

"Well, THAT came out of nowhere," you laughed. "You think Lena put that mistletoe up there when we bumped into each other?"

"That's probably what happened!" Mei laughed right along with you. 

She put her hand on your shoulder as you looked out over the city. 

"I love you," she whispered.

"I love you too," you affirmed. "I always have." 

You shared another kiss with the girl of your dreams. The snow continued to fall around you.

A/N: I promised myself no Frozen jokes when I was writing this.

Thank you so much for reading! If I remember correctly, an Overwatch story is next. I'll see you then! And have a wonderful holiday and a happy new year! Consider this my Christmas present to you!

Overwatch and all the festive characters belong to Blizzard Entertainment. You, the reader, belong to you.

P.S. Just as a side note, I'd like for a few certain people to stop roleplaying in the comments. You know who you are. Thank you so much!
