Overwatch One Shots and Imagines

Lena Oxton- Gay (a)

Lena sat down opposite you, her hands rested on the table and her thumbs danced around each other. Sporadically, she raised the steaming cup with trembling hands and moved it to her mouth, only to take a miniscule sip and put it back down on the coaster.

"So..." you tried to make conversation. "You called me for this urgent visit to Starbucks are you planning on telling me what's wrong at any point?"

"Nothing's wrong... can I not just want to take my best friend out for coffee to enjoy the summer breeze?"

"Well in the message you said that you specifically needed to talk to me as soon as possible and to meet you here as soon as I could?" Lena pushed away your statement with a flick of her wrist and an audible 'pfft'. You gave her a look that insisted that she stopped messing and just got to what was bothering her.

"You've been my best friend for, forever right?"

"Lena what have you done this time..."

"It isn't quite what I've done... it's more... who I've done."

"What are you talk- "

"I think I might be gay..." Lena's cheeks turned a rosy pink and she looked down into her cup, expecting an angry storm out or a shouting match

"Right... what do you mean you think you're gay?"

"Well I've been dating this girl called Emily for like the past six months."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I thought you would be mad..."

"Be mad at you? For being gay? I'm mad that you didn't tell me, and I'm mad that you didn't introduce me Emily yet, but I'm not mad at you for being gay."

A big smile crept onto her face and her eyes turned from fear to joy

"So when do I get to meet the lucky woman?" You nudged her side with your elbow.

After a deep breath so that Lena could collect herself, she gestured towards another table only a few rows down, a red-headed girl with freckles spackled across the bridge of her nose stood up and sat down next to Lena, bringing along the aromatic cup of coffee.

"Emily, right?"

She nodded awkwardly and practically whispered out a 'hello'.

"You're in for a wild ride with this one, she's crazy."

Lena rolled her eyes and shook her head in disapproval.

"And this is why I waited so long to tell you..."
