Being Friends With Overwatch Would Include...

Being Friends With Reaper Includes:

It's really, really tough to become close enough to Reaper to get on actual friendship terms with him bUT W H EN Y OU DO

Reaper's a cunt

But, like, in the best way possible

Teases you about everything you do (especially if you do something wrong)

This usually includes mocking you in Spanish

While he used to have a sixth sense for emotions before the Reaper-ing, now he's not really good with them

Like, if his teasing gets too harsh you'll have to tell him to his face, otherwise he doesn't really notice (bonus points if you do this after slapping/punching him; really gets the message through)

If it gets to that point I can promise you he'll never cross that line again

You're a gem to him and he definitely doesn't want to lose another of his friends

Seriously, the man is trying his hardest and it definitely shows, which makes it pretty hard to stay mad at him

Also hella flirty but not never really genuine about it (getting on romantic terms with him is a whole other level, my friends; ha, sucks to be you if you have a crush on the man)

He NEVER crosses the line on the flirting front

Like he's still a fucking gentleman

That's a subject he's very careful about (because he certainly doesn't actually want you to become attracted to a monster like him) so he always makes it his mission to make sure you know he's just goofing around

Also PR A N KSTER SUP R EM E

Like can someone say prank wars because you bet your ass it's a common thing when friends with him

You usually lose

Reaper's the Prank King, I promise you

He's also the king of lame puns surrounding the subject of death and just shitty puns/jokes in general

This man is precious and I will physically fight anyone who tries to tell me otherwise

On very rare occasions, if you're really good friends, you might get to see him without his mask

Like even when he's not wearing the ole big, baggy, edgelord attire, he still wears that mask

He refuses to admit it but he loves video games

You take him to an arcade

Boi, get ready to be there for hours

Also if you two are ever hanging out and you find one of those strength-tester games he will be at it until he breaks the scale

That's really not very hard for him to do

He gives you whatever prizes he wins, unless their owls or skeletons

He's a stronk boi

Speaking of which, piggyback rides and princess-style carrying if you ever get sleepy while hanging out with him

You are an important bean who must be kept healthy and he'd hate for you to exhaust yourself

You must also be protected so self-defense classes

He definitely makes sure you could hold your own in a fight against him

Just in case

He doesn't really trust himself to get close to people anymore

Because, y'know, he's supposed to be the big, bad, villain guy now

He seriously cannot fathom why you would want to be his friend

He will probably never muster up the courage to ask you why though

His self-loathing is pretty obvious around you though, so you might tell him to spill one day

Tell. Not ask. If you ask, he won't say shit. You gotta stand your ground and make him do a therapy session with you.

But that's a whoooole other story/post

Basically he will take care of you while you secretly take care of him and keep him grounded too

Oh, also movie/cartoon marathons and he'll play guitar for you on special occasions (ex. your birthday if you whine enough)
