Hey all! It's been a while, I know. Been having quite a few computer troubles recently. I received a request from BeccaBrigante and I thought it was a good idea, so I figured I'd give it a go! This probably won't be great, and I'm sorry if there's any misspellings or anything like that, I'm writing this on my phone.

Enjoy!

You and Zenyatta had been in a relationship for about two years now, and you were very happy together. You loved the tranquil omnic with every fibre of your being. No matter what, he always managed to make you smile and laugh, and he would always cheer you up whenever you were down. Since you were a human and he wasn't, you received a fair amount of criticism from people who hated the omnics, but you didn't care. You couldn't be happier.

There was a problem, however. You noticed that Zen had become a bit more secretive and wouldn't spend as much time with you. You tried to ask him if something was wrong, but he would just insist that he was fine. As if that wasn't bad enough, you also noticed that he had been spending more and more time with your friend Lena Oxton, better known as Tracer. Because of this you began to suspect that he had been cheating on you with her. No, you told yourself, he wouldn't do that to me. He loves me. He'd never hurt me like that.

He loves me.

But, as time went on, you began to see him less and less, and you'd often lay awake at night, looking at him as he slept, wondering if he really meant it when he told you he loved you. You'd often cry silently as you listened to the robotic hums of his body as he slept soundly beside you.

You wanted so badly to confront him, but you loved him so much you were afraid you'd lose him forever. So you suffered in silence, thinking it was only a matter of time before he left you for good. You had no idea how wrong you were.

One evening, you were in the mess hall of the Overwatch headquarters, staring down at your cup of water, when you were approached by Lena.

"Hiya, (y/n)! How are you doing, love?" She said, gleefully. You looked up and glared at her, annoyed by her happiness. She's been seeing your boyfriend for god knows how long, and she has the nerve to talk to you like everything was fine?

"What do you want?" You spat, not caring how she reacted.

"Woah, are you alright?" "What do you think?" "Huh?" "I know what's going on, Tracer." "I'm afraid I don't understand,love." "Don't play dumb. I know you and Zen have been seeing each other behind my back!" You stood up, raising your voice. "What is wrong with you?! Do you have any idea how much this hurts? I love him, goddammit!" Tears stung your eyes and your voice wavered. "Why would you do this to me, Lena? Why would you still see Zen when you know how much I care about him?"

Lena stared at you, dumbfounded. She looked so confused, and you hated her for still pretending to be innocent. You quietly sobbed, your knees shaking beneath you.

"(y/n)...I'm a lesbian."

"..What?"

"I'm a lesbian, love. Even if I wasn't, I wouldn't do that to you. You're a great friend, and I know how much you and Zen care about each other."

You looked at her, suddenly feeling like a colossal jerk. "But then..why have you and Zen been spending so much time together?"

"Well, I was getting to that! Follow me!" Lena chirped, before blinking out of the mess hall. You walked slowly behind her, slightly worried about where Lena was leading you. It wasn't until she led you out of the building that you got really concerned. "Um, Lena? Where are we going exactly?" "It's a surprise." She replied, "Come on, keep up! We're almost there!"

A little while later, you spotted Zenyatta, surprisingly standing up instead of floating. You never realised just how tall he was. You swiftly ran up to him and enveloped him in a hug that would make breathing difficult for a human. Zenyatta stroked your hair and chuckled, "Greetings,(y/n)." He looked at Lena. "Thank you for your assistance, Lena." The bubbly girl replied, "Happy to help!" before blinking away.

You stared up at him, tears in your eyes. "Where have you been, Zen?" "My apologies for being so secretive. But I wanted this to be a surprise. Follow me." He gently took your hand and led you up a hill. At the top, you were blown away by the sight. You were greeted by a perfect view of the sunset. Fairy lights were hung up in the trees, making everything look serene and peaceful. Zenyatta sat down on the ground and patted the space beside him. You sat down beside him, and stared out at the sunset, entranced by it's beauty. "I really am sorry for being so distant." "Don't worry about it, Zen. This is wonderful...I need to properly apologise to Lena, actually. I accused her of being your mistress." You said, embarrassed.

Zen chuckled, "Has Lena informed you she-" "Yeah, she has." Zen wrapped an arm around your shoulder and said "You know I wouldn't do that. No, I just asked her to assist me."

Zen went silent for a bit, before saying "..Actually, I wanted to ask you something." "What is it?"
The omnic reached into a small satchel he had draped around him and pulled out..a ring.

If robots could blush, he'd be redder than a tomato.
"(y/n)..will you marry me?"
Sobbing, you threw your arms around Zen, pushing him over. "Yes!" you shouted, "Yes, I will marry you!!" Zen laughed, cupping your cheek with his metallic hand. He pressed his forehead against yours and sighed happily.

"I love you, (y/n)."

And he meant it.
