A Lion's Heart [Reinhardt x Male Reader] Overwatch Fanfic

Chapter 15: The Adventurous Knight

Stepping out into the cold night air, it was a bit more frigid than usuall as the stars shimmered over the sea ahead. They reflected their bright visuals and color, making it twinkle a bit in your eyes. You stood there patiently on the edge of the cliff of headquarters, awaiting for Reinhardts call into the ship.

"Where are we going exactly?" Your curiosity peeked noticing the idle aircraft ready for use. You stopped dead in your tracks hoping for some sort of answer but, all you recieved was silence for a brief moment. Reinhardt walked a few feet ahead and finally began to talk but, it wasn't the direct answer you were anticipating.

"We, are going on a little journey (y/n). To one of my favorite destinations!" Reinhardts excited demeanor sent your interest skyrocketing as you folded your arms and lowered your brow.

"and that is?..."

"Patients beautiful, all will be revealed when we arrive. You stay here for a moment, i must check to see if the ship is ready for our departure." The length on some of his words like 'patients' and 'revealed' were held out a little longer than the others for added emphises. His tone being ever so elegant and feather like.

It took a moment but, reinhardt had to make sure he checked everything out on the ship.

Taking his lone steps into the craft, the acoustics started depleting around him and started to become more confined within the space.

Making his way to the hull of the vessel, his visuals were significantly lacking due to the outside time stamp. It casted itself into the heart of the hull through the front pit's windshield but, he managed to make it to the front at a steady speed.

Making one hand rest gently on the dashboard, he reached the other to the ceiling of the pit and managed to find a sophisticated switch. As his head lifted and his arm stretched upwards, it caused his tank top to become stretched against his enormous build and become untucked, revealing some skin in the process. With a flick, the lights of the ship booted up making the hull appear brighter than heaven above.

He smirked a bit and lowered his head and arm down a bit to see a medium sized, old school picnic basket topped with a red bow and the strings hanging gently down the sides. His eyes lifted along with more of his spirits, further examining the package. Hiding within the decently large bow, rested a simple white rectangular card with simple text typed into the center with some sort of classic font.

His smile grew bigger as he picked up the card and read it silently to himself.

Knock em' dead big guy!

~Lena & Emily

The feeling within his chest seemed to tighten a bit due to his enlivened and gitty inner self. It quickly subsided as he set the card down, quietly thanking lena and her lover in the process. This feeling of gratitude however had never vanished, it seemed to only be getting stronger as he opened the basket up to look at the suprise dinner inside.

Opening his eyes spaciously, the smell of fresh meat and lively seasoning filled his nostrils. Opening up the packaging that had kept the heat and fresh parishables inside, it had revealed a marvelous display of pork chops and apple stuffing. The apple stuffing was caressed with cinamon for added flavor. They had rested underneath and held up tender and vibrant colored slabs of meat with exquisite parsley leaves to give a perfect compliment for taste and appearance value.

Taking out the packaging of food, he checked off the importance of picnic appliances when he dug even further. Sitting on the bottom were fragile plates and forks, resting on top of a plain black bed sheet. He smiled a bit bigger staring at the items in the basket before wrapping the food back up and placing it gently into the container.

You felt the cool night air gently breeze through your hair. Caressing your scalp like a mother petting their childs head for comfort in a crisis. The ends of your clothing had caught the winds current and swayed gently along with it.

The breeze elegantly whispered in your ear making your inner angst unwind and relax. The sound of turbines starting up however, cut the nice symphonic melotone as you raised your eyebrows in excitment and turned to see Reinhardt standing on the slant of the ship. One hand holding onto the pressure filled strains that pulls the ramp up and down for the entrance. He looked like an explorer, an adventurer ready to begin his new exciting tale when he stood the way he did.

His muscles seemed to pop in his jacket as the moonlight now shined down on him. He smiled looking at you up and down, and examining your every feature standing under one of natures greatest source of light.

"The carriage awaits you, your highness." His voice now deeper and sensual than usuall, it crawled itself underneath your skin creating  goosebumps and sparked a little fire within your soul.

You chuckled a bit at Reinhardts older era of humor while your chilled skin settled down and joked along with him.

"Why, thank you my knight!" Your voice had gotten softer near the end of the sentence matching the serenity and gusto around you.

You glistened a little from every twinkle above making your way towards the muscled giant and planted foot afterfoot onto the ramp. Reinhardt once again placed a hand on your lower back and guided you upwards into the ship.

Eichenwalde, Germany is home to alot of drinking and violence. In this case however, the area they had reached was home to various amounts of peacefull wildlife and serenity far from the hustle of the foreign streets.

Landing in the secluded area deep within the forest of Eichenwalde, it was a little lighter out than back at base but, still held its ominous night aura. The air was fresh and clean, exiting the confides of the ship, the flowers and fumes of nature filled your senses as you stretched your stiff muscles a bit.

The trees ascended high above yours and rein's height. They had felt like skyscrapers towering themselves above you.

The best part to you, was the waterfall rushing off the side of the mountain into the lake below. It glistened and rippled, making the reflections casted become distorted.

Examining the environment around you, your eyes lit up like a christmas tree with your smile engaging and coaxing any sadened creature into a cheery being.

"Woah..." Sheer awe filled your voice by the meer sight of the scenary.

Reinhardt was the last to step out of the ship with the basket in one hand and the other in his jean pocket. His walk down the ramp was slow and one of pure confidence as he smirked and gazed on your shocked outline with pure amazement and accomplishment.

He honestly couldn't wait for this date to start.
