Junkrat was pulling Mei along with him as he tried to get as far away from the Watchpoint. "Wait, Junkrat!" Mei pulled away from his hand. "I thought you were joking around with the Terminator reference!" She became enraged.

"What's Terminator?" Junkrat asked. Mei only became more infuriated. (because of the fact that Junkrat didn't know what Terminator was)

"What about my friends!?" Mei shouted. She was trying not to cry because it's embarrassing to cry in front of people.

"Mei, Talon's a bunch of drongos. They can't kill for shit." Junkrat took hold of both of Mei's hands. "I just needed to protect you just in case one of them got lucky, and because I love you."

Just then they shared their first kiss. Junkrat's lips really did taste like an overcooked chicken nugget with a hint of Vegemite and peppermint. It was the most perfect kiss in the history of forbidden kisses.

(my editor is a fool)

"Wow" was all that Mei could say after they pulled away from the kiss. Then Junkrat took Mei to an Outback Steakhouse. Junkrat ordered his favorite baby back ribs and Mei only got a cup of ice.

After 10 minutes of sad silence, Junkrat wiped his hands on his chest, leaving BBQ sauce all over it. "Why does Talon hate Overwatch?" he asked.

"It's some long history with older members." Mei sighed.

"D'ya know what happened?" Junkrat asked. Mei pulled up the Overwatch Wiki and allowed Junkrat to read it.

4 minutes passed and Junkrat laughed. "Oh, ha ha, that's right I can't read."

Mei put away her phone and took a sip from her cup of ice. "I just wish there was some way to bring us together..." She said once she was done chewing the ice.

They both sat in silence. A waitress walked by and gave them the check and some napkins for Junkrat. Junkrat suddenly shot up from his seat. "I got it!" He screamed.

Everyone in the restaurant went silent and stared at him in disgust. Junkrat took the napkins and began to wipe his chest off. "We could get married!" He beamed.

"It's only been three days." Mei laughed. She thought Junkrat was joking but he wasn't.

"But it would bring Talon and Overwatch together!" Junkrat was very happy about his genius mind.

"It's too early." Mei looked down. "We don't even know if we're perfect for each other yet."

Junkrat thought for a moment. "What if we tell them we're dating?" Junkrat was so smart.

"What if we break up?" Mei was smarter.

"Right..." Junkrat frowned. He wasn't as smart as he thought he was. His dumbness made him think of how smart Roadhog was. Junkrat missed Roadhog. They had had so many great adventures together and now Roadhog was gone forever I sweeeear.

"We can get married later." Mei reached across the table and held Junkrat's hands, ignoring the gross BBQ sauce that still covered them. "Right now, I'm just not ready."

Junkrat smiled. "Okay :)" Then they both left the Steakback Outhouse without paying.
