"Limbo" ( A Junkrat x Reader Story [Overwatch])

Chapter 2 | Sweet Dreams

Note: [f/b/m] means favorite breakfast meal

You woke up. It was at least 3 AM, or something. You were just about to remove yourself from your comfy state, and fetch yourself a drink of water. But that's when you notice something off. Something that wasn't there before. Something shifted in the shadows. Startled, you try to focus on an outline of what it was. Too big for an insect or mouse. That's when you notice it. A small glowing ember, floats into the sky. This gives the whole game away. "Jamie.." You murmur. You hear him gasp at the sound of his name, before he shamefully emerges from the darkness, and into the faint light cast by the moon. You see him rub the back of his head, admitting defeat.

"How long have you been there?" you ask shyly
"Since midnight," he returned.
"But why?"
"I've been watching you sleep lately. It soothes my ticker, and keeps my mind and evil thoughts at bay." You look confused. "It also helps me know you're safe," he continued.
"Safe?"

He begins to limp over to your bed, his leg making clicks and bangs along the way, before perching himself on the foot of your beaten-up bed. "Truth be told..." he pauses and looks away; "I have liked you for some time, you see, and I was hoping to tell you one day... just not in the scenario [y/n]"
Your eyes widen. You finally knew what he "wasn't telling you". Could this also be why Jack said what he did?

"Can I kiss you?"
You reply with neither yes do no, and sit in awe.
"Well?" he sounds curious yet impatient, still awaiting a reply.
"What if someone walks in? And catches you in here?" you didn't deny his offering.
"It's 3 AM" he reassures you, "no one will disturb us. Besides, I placed a steel trap behind the door... so no one comes in and... hurts you..."
Your eyes wander to the door, and lock onto the steel  trap that Junkrat had just mentioned. "What if I had walked into that?!" you snap at him
"Shh!" he exclaims, "you're making too much noise. More noise is more risk of being caught!"
"We wouldn't get caught if you didn't spy on me in the first place!" Him watching you at night, finally explains why he always looks so tired during the day. You never thought to ask, but now you didn't need to.

You give in, and refuse to argue with him anymore. This meaning that you allowed him to kiss you.
His eyes lit up a small bit, trying to hide his excitement this is finally happening he thought. He cupped your cheek with his left hand, figuring it won't be anywhere near as cold as his mechanical one. With this motion complete, he begins to lean in to land his lips on top of yours. KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!  Three loud, hard, banging knocks sounded upon your door. You're caught. No doubt. You think fast. You hear a 'dammit' escape Jamie's mouth. before you roughly begin pushing him off your bed, in the direction of the bathroom.
He manages to get in there without making too much noise. Oh shit! What about the steel trap? you thought.

The door creeks open. It is Soldier:  76. "Wakey, wakey, [y/n]! Rise and shine. We've got a big day ahead of us!" Your eyes flutter open to view your well-lit bedroom, and a fully  dressed Jack
It was a dream?  You thought.
"What time is it?" you croaked, with obvious traces of tiredness in your voice.
"9 AM. You had a very eventful day yesterday, so I thought you deserved a lay in; extra help to recover!" You sit up and smile. "Now, hurry up, I made sure the lovely ladies in the cafeteria would save you some food for breakfast, but they won't wait around for-"
He is cut off by a mask-less Mako lightly knocking, and wandering in through the door. Jack turns to him and they both exchange a nod -- could this mean anything? Damn reader-chan, so nosy :p  You pass this off, as it's none of your business anyway. You notice a tray of food in Hog's left hand, they're so big he only needs to hold it with one. 
"Is that for me?" you jokingly ask, while attempting to wiggle your eyebrows and failing. He nodded at you, confirming the food was yours. Who else's would it have been? He wanders over to you and give you the food. The boys leave the room to give you some privacy, in which you begin to stuff your face with you [f/b/m]. It was delicious!

Meanwhile, Soldier and Roadhog were discussing Junkrat. Hog confirmed that he was was trying out new techniques in the practice range, so he missed breakfast. This was a cunning plan to make sure he didn't notice your absence.

You got dressed, and slipped out of your room, and into their conversation. They ceased talking. "Private mission?" you ask, completely oblivious to what they were actually talking about. They both nod, and all three of you head downstairs to the main hall.

Teams for the day are usually announced around 9:30 AM, so you got there in the nick of time. Junkrat had now returned, and gave both you and Mako that playful look of 'oooo! are you together, when did that happen?' he was joking of course. Mako did the same to you and Jamie, as did you to the two boys, whenever seen together alone. You sat down, with Jamie on one side and Mako on the other.

Athena begins to announce and rotations. Normally you'd have 5 to 6 matches per day, but due to the unsolved problem, You could only partake in one match a day, and the healers being the only exceptions. You have been placed with Brigitte [tells me your opinions on the new support hero, I wanna know!], Zenyatta, Reaper, Widowmaker, and Genji, and are against Junkrat, Roadhog, Lucio, Symmetra, Doomfist and Hanzo. 

~~~

The whole of the ally team had parked themselves on the payload, and you were making record timing. You hear "fire in the hole" in the distance, and prepare the whole team to aim for it the second it comes into view. You see it hurtling towards you. You were just about to yell "now" as an indication to open fire on the incoming RIP Tire, but then it makes a sharp turn and disappears out of view, before hearing the distinct explosion noise it makes. Why would he give up on a quintuple kill and a good POTG? [you're also a meka pilot, so it'd only destroy your mech. It's a different design to D.Va's. ind of playing this off as you were the new mech pilot that was teased in Overwatch, as different concepts for hero 27]  Something didn't add up. You dismissed it for now, and made yourself due to ask him after the match had ended.

You had just cleared a checkpoint, and without warning was grappled into a building by Roadhog. This had depleted you health enough to destroy you mech. To your surprise, instead of being showered with pieces of scrap, you are greeted with a giggling Hog, and Junkrat.

You begin to question why Junkrat pulled that little stunt earlier, but instead, you are silenced by that jawdropping kiss you allowed him to give you earlier.. 

A/N: 

That was longer than the last... Oh well! Hope you enjoyed. If you want a backstory to who you are and how you're a meka pilot, etc, please comment and I'll write one!

Thanks for reading!
