You tried to avoid messaging McCree since you felt Reapers eyes on you all the time even if he wasn't around but you began to like that feeling. He has had many opportunities to kill you and yet he has taken non and has even saved you once, his watching eyes made you feel safe. 

You felt them again one night when you were on your bed and on your holo tablet, your eyes scanned your dark room and spotted some mist in the corner again. 

"Hello, Reaper" You said with a little smile. 

Sure enough, the mist formed into Reaper and he approached your bed.

He grumbled in annoyance that I spotted him. 

"Shouldn't you be asleep?" He grumbled 

You laughed a little "I have too many demons keeping me up" Your eyes narrowed to him but then you replaced your look with a grin.

"Am I one of them" He gave a little laugh before laying down next to you.

You felt a little uncomfortable laying on the bed with a terrorist but you felt drawn to him. You looked over at him, he always wore his cloak, how could that be comfortable you thought to your self. You put down your tablet and turned on your side face him.

"What?" He tilted his head

"Why do you always wear all that, seems uncomfortable." You gave a little smile and Reaper just replied with a shrug. You sat up and tugged on his cloak, "at least don't wear this....and your shoes." 

He followed your wishes and proceeded to take off his cloak and boots leaving the rest of his clothing and armor. You looked at his now exposed muscular arms leaving you with a smile, you wish you knew if he was giving the smile back. You laid back down next to him and began looking at your tablet. 

Your eyes began to grow tired and you set down your tablet and turned over facing him, he could see your tiredness on your face.

"I should let you sleep" He began to get up but you grabbed his cold arm.

"No, please stay.....please" You gave him a tired smile and he replied with a nod as he laid back down next to you. Your eyes began to close and you fell asleep next to him, you could smell a familiar smell from him but you couldn't remember what it was, it smelled like gunpowder, sweat, and cologne. For once in eight long years, you had a night with no nightmares or dreams leaving you in sadness. 

You awoke to still find him next to you, you heard little snores coming from his mask, you knew if you wanted to you could probably take it off without him noticing but you didn't want to risk ruining the trust. Instead, you began to look at what you could see now even though you wanted to see more. 

You began to hear him rustle and soon he turned over facing you, "Guess you could sleep with one of your demons around" he laughed as he got out of your bed. He stretched a little before sitting down and putting his boots on. 

You watched him and for some reason, you didn't want him to leave, 

"Have you always worn the mask?" You decided to ask. 

He paused putting on his shoes and sighed "No, I at one point was a man" 

His reply seemed to hold a sad past and it made you feel bad for him. What was Reaper and why was he what he was now. "I bet you were a handsome man" You smiled.

Reaper laughed at your reply "Well I was at one point" He said as he began to walk over to the door. He paused before leaving and looked over his shoulder at you, "That was my first good night sleep in a while." 

On that, he left but he left you with a blushing face and a smile.
