[Sorry if this isn't the best, I'm quite rusty]


It had only been a month and [Name] has met everyone, his relaxed personality had made it easy for him to get along with everyone, creating a great addition to the team and family. He especially got along with Jesse and Lena, as Jesse sees the ginger as a little brother and Lena sees him as one of her best friends. Even Gabriel says that he can tolerate the guy, which is good since [Name] looks up to him as much as he does Jack. Today is, luckily, an off day unless something serious pops up. Most sit in the lounge room, relaxing and watching the television or reading a magazine or book.

Though, Lena smiles brightly as she knocks on the door to [Name]'s room for a second time, hoping to receive an answer or for him to open the door to her smiling face. "[Name]! It's Lena! Can I come in?!" She shouts as she knocks again, starting to get worried as on off days, [Name] would stay in his room and work on different projects. Just like the last two times, she does receive an answer. She reluctantly opens the door and pops her head in to see [Name] working on something with his headphones on. Lena giggles and blinks over behind [Name], looking over his shoulder to see a mess of different small mechanisms.

"Whatcha working on?" Lena mildly yells nexts to [Name]'s ear. Sadly, she pouts as she doesn't receive the action she was hoping for, instead, he calmly sets his tools down and lowers his headphones before turning to her with a bright smile. "Glad you could join me, Oxton." He greets with her last name just like he does for everyone else, a habit he picked up on back in his younger days. "Could you grab me a blue rectangular box on the third shelf of the second shelf of the row? It looks sorta like a first aid kit." The ginger asks as Lena looks over at the five different shelves, quickly blinking to the second shelf. Once she finds the box, she blinks back over with a goofy grin.

"I'll give you the box if you tell me what you're working on." She states like she had the other times she had helped him out a bit, but only receives a chuckle and the shake of his head. "Not this time, Oxton. This one is a surprise." Lena pouts, but hands over the box before taking a seat on his comfortable chair. "We can still talk, right? This one's not one of those projects?" [Name] nods with a slight hum, using a multitude of tiny tools that were inside the blue box. "What about?" He questions only moments after, turning his head slightly to show that he is paying attention. "I wanna talk about you. You know a lot about me, but I don't know much about you. And I don't think that that's quite fair, Love."

[Name] chuckles as he turns back to whatever he's working. "Ask any question you'd like." As Lena thinks, she picks up one of [Name]'s many little projects. The one in her hands is a mechanical fish that she had been able to name, Goldenier due to the color of the metal. She gently turns the wind-up key until it glows blue before letting the fish go in midair, allowing it to swim around without water. "Why do you go and visit Angela three days a week?" She asks her first question, only glancing at the relaxed form of [Name] as he works.

"She's the only one with a Medical degree, so she's more fit than anyone here to be a psychiatrist. She helps me with all the thoughts in my head and gives me a refill on my medication when needed." He answers truthfully without lifting his head, but continues to pick up different tiny tools. "Okay... Why did you want to join Overwatch?" She asks her second question as she blinks over towards one of the many shelves. "Winston is one persistent ape. He gave me some pretty good reasons to. The main one was that I wouldn't be isolated and actually make some friends. As you can see, he was right."

Just then, loud banging comes from the other side of the door with angry shouts. As Lena only glances at the door and back to [Name], the ginger had quickly placed on a hat. Jesse McCree's hat to be exact. [Name] smiles brightly as he runs over towards his window, jumping out of it, making Lena gasp as they're on the second floor. She quickly blinks over to the window with an expression of worry, only to glare when she sees [Name] latching onto the ledge with a grin directed towards her. "Im not here, you never saw me, I'm keeping this hat."

Lena can only shake her head with a slight giggle before blinking over to the door, opening it to a steaming Jesse. "'Ello, Mate! What can I help you with?" Jesse glares down at her with a frown before gently pushing pass her to find the thief that stole his hat. "Where is he?" He asks after scanning the whole room and turning back to Tracer. "You just missed him." She giggles with a playful grin as she blinks over to the chair she had been sitting in. "He left right before you knocked." Jesse continues to glare down at her with a slight frown.

"I'm calling bullshit on that. He's- He jumped out the window, didn't he?" Before Lena can ever think about blinking over to the window, McCree is already over there, halfway out the window to pull the ginger up. "You damn ginger! Give me back my hat!" He shouts as he pulls [Name] through the window before falling backwards with the ginger falling on top of him. [Name] is quick to get up and scurry out the door while Jesse had been in slight shock, though now runs after him while Lena runs behind them to see what will happen.

"What in the world is going on here?!" Gabriel shouts as [Name] sprints behind him, circling him every time Jesse would try to come after him from each side. "He stole my hat!" Jesse shouts, still growling and glaring as [Name] laughs with a grins. "You're wrong, McCree! I'm only borrowing it. I was planning on giving it back!" Gabriel grabs onto the backs of [Name]'s shirts while he shakes his head, effectively stopping both of them as Jesse stand in front of the ginger. "[Name]. Give Jesse back his hat." Said ginger only shakes his head while hugging the hat to his chest and sticking his tongue out, earning a giggle from Lena. "[Name]..." The older male says sternly, finally receiving a sigh and slight frown as he hands it back to Jesse who yanks it from him with the same glare.

"I know you still love me. How could anyone not?" [Name] questions narcissistically, earning a giggle from Lena, a small smile from Jesse, and a snicker of amusement from Gabriel. "Sadly, you're right about the first one, but I don't know that everyone loves you." The cowboy retorts while pulling [Name] into a headlock and painfully rubbing his knuckles against the top of his head, messing up his hair and causing soot to fall. "Ow! Oi! Stop it! That hurts, man! Reyes, help me!" Gabriel only laughs before walking off with a wave, leaving the three to themselves. "Oxton! Please!" Jesse laughs at the slightly smaller males begging while Tracer can only double over in giggles. "Okay! Okay! Jesse McCree is a badass motherfucker! Is that what you wanted to hear?!"

Jesse finally releases him, causing [Name] to quickly move away from him and gently massage his scalp with a small frown. "You know, with your help, I'll become bald sooner." The two continue to laugh for a little before calming down, finally being able to speak. Soon, Jesse starts walking towards the lounge room, pulling [Name] with him as [Name] pulls Lena along. "I'm making sure you're not isolated in your room and that you just relax today." Jesse states, causing [Name] frown with a sound of disagreement. "But I'm not isolated. I have Oxton with me." The conversation ends off their as he drags the two to watch a movie with a few others who are just relaxing.
