Overwatch One-Shots (Requests: CLOSED) ON HIATUS

Soft Spot: Zarya x Female!Bullied!Reader

Zarya always confused (Y/N).

The strong Russian woman, who had a hatred for omnics, was dating her.

But (Y/N) was a mechanic for omnics, not to mention she and Zenyatta treated each other as brother and sister. It never made sense that Zarya had fallen for her, but she had and they loved each other endlessly.

But the couple had everyone confused, why were they even together? Most people had simply shaken away the thought, if two people loved each other then why should they care what their backgrounds are?

But not Tim.

Timothy "Tim" Parker AKA Point Shot is a newer member of Overwatch, he was born during the omnic crisis and had grown up hating the omnics no matter who they say they are. He constantly questioned (Y/N) and her morals, often bullying her for her affiliations.

Today was a prime example.

"(Y/N) why do you even try anymore?" Tim asked as the team was cleaning their weapons, the female looked up and rolled her eyes at the male.

"Piss off already, Timothy." She hissed and got back to working on her weapons, Tim chuckled and shook his head.

"You're pathetic, you know that? You filthy omnic loving scum," he hissed lowly so the others couldn't hear him. "I bet Zarya's dating you out of pity, you should be dating someone who's good for you."

"Like who, you?" (Y/N) whispered, "Yeah, never gonna happen. I'm not interested," she tried to leave it at that but he seemed rather persistent today.

"Exactly," he grinned. "I bet I could treat you better. I would change your mind completely about those stupid omnics."

"God, just piss off!" (Y/N) gripped her weapon tighter, her knuckles turning white.

"Ugh," Tim groaned. "You're so fucking disgusting, filthy, ugly. I wonder what's the real reason Zarya's dating some fugly cunt like you."

That was the straw that broke the camel's back, this had been going on for several months now and (Y/N) couldn't take it anymore. She yelled in frustration and threw her weapon with such power and force against the wall that it cracked and split in two, her eyes spilled months of built up tears as she sobbed.

"Why can't you just leave me alone for once in your godforsaken life?" She screamed at him, startling the rest of the team. "I have done nothing to you yet you do nothing but hurt and belittle me! Don't you have anything better to do with your life?"

"What's going on-"

"Just leave me alone! Get out of my head, my business, my everything! Stop calling me stupid names and just get a life!" (Y/N) fell to her knees, covering her eyes and sobbed heavily. Tim was about to retaliate until Soldier 76 grabbed him by the forearm and gruffly lead him out of the room, the room was silent except for (Y/N) sobbing.

"Sweetheart," Zarya's voice was next to her ear. "Are you alright?"

Her soft and sweet voice shocked the team, Zarya was normally such a hardass with everyone that it was weird to see her acting so kind and gentle.

"Darling, I'm right here. You're alright," Zarya cooed as she brought (Y/N) into her arms. "Why didn't you tell me he was bullying you?"

"Because I didn't want you to worry," the smaller female sniffled.

"You know I love you, right?" Zarya smiled and kissed her forehead, "I've always loved you. Nothing will ever change that, not Tim, not who your brother is, not anything. I love you for your personality and how it outshines the sun. Your strength, you may not seem like it but you're the strongest person I know. You're so smart and talented, you're tactical and I love it all."

"Because of you, I'm starting to realize that not every omnic is bad." Zarya looks up and smiles at Zenyatta, who's sitting on the other side of (Y/N). "You mean so much to me and more, my love, don't get yourself down just because some pathetic idiot says some meaningless words."

"Thanks," (Y/N) wipes her eyes and smiles at the woman. "I love you too."

"I'm glad he's gone now," Genji piped up. "He was a douche anyways."

"Genji," Zenyatta let out a sigh at his pupil.

"What? (Y/N) is like a little sister to me too!" Genji crossed his arms, "She deserves happiness. Everyone does. If Zarya gives her the happiness she deserves, then why should anyone tell her otherwise?"

"Aw, you're such a softie, sparrow~" (Y/N) teased, causing Zarya to laugh a little bit while Genji shook his head.

"Are you feeling better now?" Zarya questioned, her jade green eyes glanced at her face as if looking for any sign of distress.

"Yes, a lot better. Thank you," (Y/N) smiled and pressed a loving kiss to Zarya's cheek. The Russian's cheeks turned pink from the action which caused the smaller female to laugh, Zenyatta would've smiled happily if he could.

"So, little one," Zenyatta got her attention. "When did Tim start treating you this way?"

"Well, he acted pretty normal around me until he found out that you're pretty much my brother. So he started probably..." (Y/N) thought for a moment, trying to remember the day and month all of Tim's bullying started. "I believe around eight months ago!"

The room was silent as the information processed, for eight whole months (Y/N) was being treated like shit by Tim without anyone noticing. Zarya's eyebrow twitched. Genji felt his fingers inch towards his sword. Zenyatta immediately stood up, the orbs that circled him turned a vicious purple color.

"I believe Timothy needs to learn a thing or two about peace and harmony."

"I second that thought," Genji stepped towards the door.

"Maybe a few bones need to be broken in order to clearly get the message across," Zarya growled and stood up which made the muscles in her arms flex in anger.

"Wait for a second, hold on...!" (Y/N) yelped as the trio closed the door behind them, the girl sighed and shook her head. Everyone had gone back to cleaning happily, most were chatting with each other while others simply remained silent. A couple of minutes passed before a girlish scream rang out across the base making (Y/N) groan, but she was glad that Zarya had one thing in common with Zenyatta and Genji.

They all hated Timothy.
