It was the day before new years eve. Word had gotten around that there was to be a new years party for Overwatch at the newly re-built watchpoint Gibraltar. Knowing my comrades in Overwatch, no doubt there would be mass amounts of alcohol ingested by all. I was so nervous. Would Fareeha be there? Would she be welcome? Surely she would be she was the daughter of one of Overwatch's top agents and she has helped us fight talon on more than one occasion. I decided to invite her. When I had gotten off work I went home, showed, and re-dressed. It was casual, a t-shirt and sweat pants. I looked at the clock. It was only nine. I decided to call Fareeha. I got my cell and quickly dialed the familiar series of numbers. I would often call her if I had a bad day or a nightmare. Any chance to talk to her I guess. Almost as soon as I hit call she picked up.
"What's up birdy", that's what she called me, how was she oblivious to how cute she was.
"H-hey Far.", I managed to get out, "How're you"?
"I'm pretty good", she answered.
"Listen, Fareeha", I said nervously, "we're having a new years party at Gibraltar and... I was wondering if you'd go with me".
There was silence for a while before she spoke.
"Of course I will Angela", she said.
I was so happy.
"Great!", I said,"I'll pick you up tomorrow at eight".
I hung up the phone and tried to quell my excitement. I went to bed a happy woman.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The next day rocked on as any other.  There was no one scheduled to come in to the clinic I owned for the rest of the day, so I went home early. I got undressed and stepped into the shower. I washed my hair thoroughly, I've been told it was one of my best features. I got out and dried off. I put on a modest black dress and applied only lipstick, mascara, and eyeliner. I shot Fareeha a quick text.
"On my way".
On the nearly hour drive to her apartment I sang along with some hits by my favorite classical composer, Queen. Why a monarch would write music is beyond me, but damn was "Bohemian Rhapsody" catchy.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I pulled into the car park at Fareeha's complex. I took the elevator to her floor and knocked on her door. When she opened it took my breath away. She was beautiful.  A flowing blue dress that came to her ankles and was open at the right seam. The only makeup she had was red lipstick. 
"Wow", I said under my breath.
"Do I look okay?", she asked.
"Better than okay", I said, "You're drop dead gorgeous".
She blushed lightly. We got in the car and headed to Gibraltar. Actually it only took a couple of seconds, as Symmetra had given us all miniature teleporters that took us straight to Gibraltar. Once there we were greeted by Reinhardt and Ana. I had no idea they had become a couple.  A pit formed in my stomach as Ana looked at us, but it faded when she smiled at us warmly.
"Oh lord, she'll have to carry him home, he'll be wasted", I thought to myself. It was 10:30. An hour and a half till the new year. Fareeha and I had both been drinking, but I was handling it better than her. I am basically German after all, having a Swiss mother and a German Father.
"Ya know what birdy, you're goddamn gorgeous".
Lord she's waisted. I looked at the clock 11:59:37. Only a few seconds more to go. I counted down in my head then aloud with everyone starting at five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
I quickly leaned in and up to kiss Fareeha's beautiful lips. It was fairly simple at first, then she pulled me against her and put her hand on my face.  It was passionate. It was pristine. It was...perfect.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The next morning I was in the kitchen making breakfast for us. I put the plates and mugs of coffee down beside each other right as Fareeha walked in. She was wearing a pair of my sweat pants and one of my t-shirts. Good thing I got them bigger than I needed. Fareeha wasn't fat but she was taller and had brawny-er shoulders.
"Oh good you're up", I said cheerfully.
"Last night we didn't do...it, did we", she asked sheepishly.
"No no", I assured her. I got right up to her ear and whispered"let's save that for the second date at least".
She blushed madly.
"Now eat, before it gets cold".
