Bad Name (McCree X Reader)

Chapter 14: Goodbye

"Okay, Jesse. My eyes are closed." You chuckle, your hands covering your eyes as you sit upright in bed.
"Keep 'em closed! I'll be a minute!" Jesse eagerly calls from the other room. You hear him run back into the bedroom and sit on the bed. "Okay. Open 'em!" He says. You uncover your eyes, taking a moment for them to adjust to the mid-morning daylight. You look at Jesse's adorable, excited expression, then at what he's holding.
"Two tickets?" You ask.
"Boat tickets!" He says.
"To... Gibraltar?" You read the small writing on one of the tickets.
"I'm rejoinin' Overwatch, and you're staying at Watchpoint: Gibraltar with me!" Jesse exclaims. Your face lights up. You laugh and wrap your arms around him as he kisses you all over. Jesse holds your hand in his.
"We leave at 1 P.M. today. We should get packin'." He says as he stands up, pulling you out of bed.
You both get dressed and begin to pack up all your belongings and clothes. You don't have much, just a single suitcase, a carry-on, and Clover's case. Jesse, on the other hand, has quite a lot. You help him out by sitting on his suitcases when he zips them. Later on, Jesse begins to clean out the fridge of food that could go back. On your way to get your toiletries from the bathroom, you catch Jesse snagging a few bites of a slice of two-day-old delivery pizza. You decide to leave out toothpaste and his toothbrush for a bit longer.
After you're done packing, you get dressed and text Finn.

You: Hey
Blue: Hi
You: I have news
You: Idk if you'll like it
You: Ross might get a kick out of it tho
Blue: ?
You: Jesse decided to rejoin Overwatch, and I'm going with him
You: We're leaving for Europe this afternoon
You: I think it'll be a good, fresh start for me
Blue: Wow
Blue: Okay
Blue: Wait
Blue: You want to JOIN Overwatch??
You: maybe
You: yeah
Blue: whoa there friendo
Blue: Considering everything you've been doing for the past THREE YEARS, isn't it a bit sudden to become a literal HERO?
You: Worth a try m8
Blue: k
Blue: u do u
Blue: When will you be back?
You: Idk when. Not for a long time is what I'm assuming
You: Anyway... do you mind coming to the docks? I want to say goodbye
Blue: I don't mind at all
Blue: Ross can't go tho, he fractured his wrist last night.
You: WHAT?? How?!?
Blue: Fell down the stairs. Landed on his hand and it bent the wrong way.
You: Ow
Blue: Dr. said the fracture wasn't too bad, but Ross is in a lot of pain.
Blue: He got literally NO sleep last night after we got back from the ER. I had to sleep on the couch last night. Couldn't stand the constant groaning and whining.
You: Can you tell him I say goodbye?
Blue: Sure
You: I'll get the address to the docks

You grab a ticket and type in the address of the docks, then slip your phone into your pocket. Jesse walks out of the bathroom wearing blue jeans, a red and white checkered shirt, black leather boots and a matching leather jacket. He combs his fingers through his hair and places his hat onto his head. He sees you and smiles.
"Ready to go?" Jesse asks.
"Yeah. Got everything?" You reply.
"Yup. Double checked." He says, picking up his suitcases. You pick up your own bags and walk out of the apartment with Jesse. You lock up your apartment door and you both walk to the lobby and onto the street. The dock is in walking distance, like most places in town. You get there in about five minutes on foot. Scanning the dock for your boat, you find the correct boarding area, along with Finn looking around for you. You get Jesse's attention and head over to Finn. Jesse gives you time to say goodbye to Finn and waits by the boarding area with your luggage, leaving you with only your carry-on. You walk up behind Finn, tapping the shoulder of his backpack strap to get his attention. He whips his head around, seeing you and smiling.
"Hey!" He says, happily. "You excited?"
"I'm a little nervous, to be honest." You admit. "Do you think they'll recognize me?"
"Of course not, you'll be fine."
You two sit in silence for a second.
"Oh!" Finn exclaims, "I have something for you!" Finn reaches for his backpack and unzips it, taking out three wrapped gifts. He hands the first gift to you. It's very lumpy and weird feeling. You tear open the wrapping paper to reveal a hand-woven fleece quilt. You smile and look at Finn.
"Ross and I handmade that for you. I hear the base can get cold at night, so we made it extra toasty." Finn says, smiling proudly at his work.
"Thank you so much!" You exclaim.
"I have one more thing for you." Finn says, a gift bag from his backpack. He hands you one of them. You rummage through the tissue paper and pull out a box. You laugh in surprise.
"An instant camera? These are like a hundred and twenty years old!" You say, pulling out a case for the camera and another box filled with one thousand film refills.
"It's a lot more modern, from the late 2010's. It can focus and put on filters, like a normal camera. I know you like {F/C}, so I got the camera in that color."
"Thank you so much, this is amazing! But... why'd you get me this?" You ask.
"I want you to take pictures of your experiences and tape the photos to a wall in your quarters. Then, you could show me them when you get back. Oh! Let me give you my Skype! We could video chat and you could show me them like that!" Finn says, taking his phone out from his pocket and reading you his Skype username. You type the username in your phone's notes to add him later. You pull the camera out of its box and load some film into it. Finn looks at you, puzzled.
"What're you doing?" He asks.
"I'm making my first memory." You state, putting your arm around Finn's shoulders as you both smile for a selfie. You take two pictures and hand one to Finn.
"Here," you say, "keep this."
Finn looks down at the slowly developing photo and smiles. You two look so happy. He holds the photo close to his heart and sighs happily. You and Finn look at each other in silence.
"So..." you sigh, "I guess this is goodbye."
"Yeah..." Finn mutters as he looks down at his feet.
"I'm really gonna miss y--"
Before you can even finish your sentence, Finn throws his arms around you in a tight embrace. He buries his face into your shoulder and begins to weep. At that moment, you can hear your heart audibly shatter into billions of tiny shards. You hold him close and stroke his soft, deep-sea blue hair. You're suddenly reminded of the night you cried in front of Jesse, how he held you and comforted you. You smile a bit.
"Hey... c'mon, Finn... What's the use of feeling... Blue?" You joke, hoping to make him feel better.
Finn goes silent for about three seconds. You feel his body shake. He lifts up his head, tears still on his cheeks, with a huge smile on his face. He's... giggling. He wipes his cheeks and eyes with his sleeve. You laugh a bit, too. For someone who's pretty new at the whole "empathy" thing, you're pretty good at this! You playfully punch Finn's shoulder. "I gotta go now, but I promise I'll Skype you when I get settled into the base." You say, putting your camera in its case and zipping all of your gifts into your carry-on bag. You give Finn one last hug, ruffle his hair, and run to catch up with Jesse.
