Fiery Flakes *(MEIHEM SHIP/ Junkmei)*

childhood traumas

It was the next day.
Junkrat was still sound asleep in meis bedroom.
She heard people walking around so she opened the hatch door of her room to see who was up.
Mei saw roadhog sitting on the small red couch in the hall next to a large cactus.
"Mako?" She smiled and walked over to him.
"Can I ask you something about Jami?" She blushed.
"Anything" he shrugged.
"D- did his dad do that to him?" She whispered so know one could hear his secret.
"He told you?" Roadhog sounded surprised, this was junkrats biggest secret! Only he and roadhog knew about.
"Yes-.. He did...so it's true?" Mei played with her fingers, Roadhog intimidated her quite a bit and she always put it down to his size and his low voice.
"Unfortunately" He sighed.
"Well, I just wanted to say....i thought about you a little more humanely when he told me what you and your crew did for him" She smiled at him.
"You did?" He asked.
"Mmhmm" she nodded brightly.
"Well..thanks, Mei" He sounded more optmistic.
She could swear he was smiling but couldn't tell from the thick mask covering the majority of his boulder sized head.
"So, how old was he when you found him?" Mei asked.
"We didn't find him" he grunted.
"His dad brought him down to our junker bar and tried to auction off his limbs" Mako coughed and breathed in loudly through his nose.
"Oh my gosh" Mei gasped, she couldbt imagine anyone's father doing that to their own child.
"Then...push came to shove and we took him in, raised him to be who he is today".
In Meis mind roadhog went from stone-cold killer to an angel in a matter of seconds.
"That's why he acts like this" he paused.
"He's living out his childhood in his adult years".
Mei felt sad, she just thought junkrat was crazy, she never thought his personality was so deep.
"Always do things for a cause, Mei" He told her.
"That was very kind of you" She turned to him and kissed him on the cheek to show her appreciation for what he done for her love.
"Wh- what's goin on here?" Junkrat hobbled out and stretched his limbs.
"Mei was asking what kind of Boba tea you liked the best" he lied, knowing that Jamison hated talking about his past.
"Thinking about getting me a present, where ya?" He snickered.
"When are you coming back to bed, I'm freezing" He tugged at her.
"I'm coming right now" she took his hand and they went back into her room.

It had been a couple hours since Mei had spoken to roadhog, she had just came out the bathroom and was looking for him, only to find he was seated next to junkrat in the kitchen.
"Yeah- yeah and I was like, who do you think you are ya dipstick a-" junkrat stopped talking.
"What's goin on, Snowflake?" He grinned and slicked his hair back with his hand.
"Jami, I'm so sorry to bother you and- I know you're taking but.. .snowball.. I think his wires are crossed again" she sounded sad.
"Awh" he stood up and hugged her.
"I'll fix him for ya, snowy" he kissed her chubby, pink cheek.
"He's in my room" She told him.
"Hey, no worries, okay?" He told her as he could tell she was sorry for interrupting them.
"Thank you" she sighed as he limped out of the kitchen.
She made sure he was fine before she took his place next to roadhog.
"Okay, I'm sorry for doing that but I'm really curious and he doesn't talk about it" She paused to take a breather.
"What happened to his mother?" She asked him.
"His mother?" Mako questioned.
"She died in the blast " Mako shrugged with a sad tone.
"You knew her?" Mei asked.
He nodded.
"We were friends" he told her.
"I knew her when she was pregnant with him" he chuckled as he thought back at warm memories.
"I FIXED HIMMMM" Junkrat sang from down the hall.
"Coming" Mei shouted.
"You WILL be!" He shouted back and Mei blushed.
