Overwatch and you

Reinhardt x Reader: sleep

A/N: ugh have not written anything for a long time but got this random idea.... will have to change things in it later as i'm way too tired right now XD 

You walked the almost empty hallways with slow and heavy steps. The night was far from young but sleep eluded you, leaving you walking around like some kind of zombie. After some more slow and heavy steps you decided to sit down.
You watched as some people quietly went to their rooms or left for some unknown mission.
The quickly selected building that was the new HQ for Overwatch was surprisingly newly built and had a somewhat sterile look with white and grey hallways and rooms. Normally it did not disturb you but right now it made you feel cold to stare at the white surfaces. Even the bench under you felt cold and you felt a small shiver. Suddenly you noticed the heavy silence and it rooted you down on the spot. Perhaps it was the lack of sleep but you felt heavier and it felt like you head was spinning, things got blurry and seemed to melt. You bent over and stared down on the floor in an attempt to find something solid. You jumped as you felt a big warm hand on your shoulder.

" How are you doing friend?"

You looked up and wondered how you could have not noticed this giant man walking up to you. The man ruffles his white hair in an uncertain way when you just kept on staring without answering.

" Do I have something between my teeth?" He asked while his one good eye looked around confused.

You shook you head and managed to somehow kick-start your brain and immediately sent a blush to your face. Reinhardt had always been someone you admired.... But from far and now he was just one step away you.

" Aaah no sir. I just got surprised that you suddenly turned up in front of me." You said and tried your best to give him a smile.

" AAAah, no need for formalities call me what you want." Reinhardt said with a big warm smile.

".... Thanks Reinhardt..." You said carefully.

Reinhardt sat down next to you and you half expected the bench to break under the massive man. There was a strange but not unpleasant silence between the two of you.

" So what are you doing up this late, it's not the first time either. I may only have one good eye but I have noticed you wandering around at night lately." Reinhardt asked with a gentle tone and concern in his voice

The truth was that he had noticed more than that about you. He doesn't really know when it had happened but as the kids put it he had fallen for you. Reinhardt had kept his distance after all ..... neither of you had really talked with each other outside missions.

You shrugged and explained that you had been unable to get a good night sleep lately for some unknown reason. Reinhardt hummed as answer and the silence was back. It did not seem like he minded the silence and you actually thought it somehow felt very comfortable and safe to sit next to him.

" I might know something that could help you. Perhaps you have stiff shoulders without knowing it, with your permission I can give you a massage. "

"...... yes.. Please if you don't mind." You answered slowly and regretting it when he clapped his hands together and rubbed them.

" Well then sit in front of me." He said with a cheerful voice.

You slowly sat down on the floor between his legs with your back against him. If not for the fear of getting your shoulders crushed this position would had made you blush.
You closed your eye hard and expected to feel pain when Reinhardt 's hand touched your shoulders, but you opened them in surprise as his hands were massaging you with just the right pressure on your muscles. One of his big warm hands rubbed circles on your back and you leaned into it fully enjoying the sensation. You hummed in appreciation as you felt your whole body relax from tension you did not know you had. It felt like you closed your eyes for only a split second but when you opened then he was gently putting you down on your bed.

You looked up confused and some instinct told you to grab his hand.

" Sssssh go back to sleep, nothing to worry about." Reinhardt hushed in an attempt to lull you back to sleep.

" Please don't go."

For a split second it looked like Reinhardt hesitated and debated with himself before he gently ruffled your hair.

" I will stay here,"

You nuzzled up against his hand loving the feeling his warmth spread to you and fell into a deeper sleep.

Reinhardt looked at your sleeping face and did not know if it was a curse or a blessing. He was split between leaving because that was the gentlemen way or stay because he had promised. You mumbled something in your sleep and he felt a warm rush. You somehow ended up chewing on your blanket and grimaced in your sleep, as you tasted it. Reinhardt chuckled and lifted a chair to the bed and sat down on it. He would probably not get much sleep but he could live with that. After all he got a rare chance to see you act absolutely adorable.

When you woke up the next morning you stretched your arms up and felt very relaxed. You froze as you saw Reinhardt sitting next to your bed sleeping,
It took some time and a lot of panic before you managed to remember what had happened last night. You were amazed that he had actually stayed and felt bad for making him sleep on a chair. He was way too heavy for you to move but you could at least drape him in your blanket.
Just as you leaned against him to put the blanket on him his arms hooked you and you were stuck in a hug. Unable to get away you managed to get into a sitting position on his knee. There you sat until he woke up and showered you with apologies for his behaviour; but the truth was that neither of you regretted anything.
