(A/N: In the writing schedule I said I would make a part 2 to "Widowmaker• Assassin" But I have decided not to do so. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but I can't think of a way to drag it on and make it still enjoyable.)

——————

     Since you started working as an agent for Overwatch, you had been exposed to many new personalities. Your circle of friends had grown exponentially as you hung around those whom you worked with. You had met people like the overly energized and bubbly Tracer, the kindhearted and angelic Mercy, the competitive D.va and the positive Lucio. They all got along well with you plus more. However, there were two people that you got along with the best, those two were Pharah and Zarya.
     You were a fairly athletic person, so you hung around with them the most since they were the same way. Fareeha was the first person you had met when you started. She had run into you in the halls and introduced herself. Since then, you had started seeing her in the weight room fairly frequently. She would always talk to while the two of you were training and exercising. The two of you became great friends in no time.
     One day the weight lifting room that you two normally went to was closed so some work could be done to it. Fareeha led you to the bigger weightlifting room on the other end of the Overwatch base. You never used it because you saw no point in traveling across the base to do the same thing you could do at the room closer to you. The only difference between the two was the bigger one had more of each equipment and it was attached to a training arena.
     The two of you had gotten there a bit early in the morning so it was empty besides two agents. One was a guy you had never seen before, seemingly one of the lower ranked soldiers. The other however was an incredibly strong woman with short cut, bright pink hair. She had sharp facial features and she was quite tall, you didn't know how you had never seen her before. She turned upon hearing the automatic sliding doors open and gave a bright smile when she seemed to see Fareeha.
     "Fareeha! It's good to see you so early." The woman said in a thick Russian accent. Fareeha grinned and greeting her as Zarya and you realized that she had brought up that name to you before.
     Zarya greeted the Egyptian with a pat on the back before her gaze landed on you. "Ah, you must be the young gun Fareeha has told me about. (Y/N), right?" She asked, removing her hand from Fareeha's back. You politely smiled, bowing your head a bit.
     "That's me." You reply as she held a hand out to you.
      "The name's Zarya, strongest woman in Russia!" She said proudly as you took ahold of her hand. She was the most built person you had ever seen, but she was extremely gentle with you.
     "It's a pleasure to meet you."
     You and Fareeha had to continue going to that gym for a couple weeks until the other one opened back up, however when it did open again, you didn't want to go. Zarya accompanied you two everyday, she even helped coach you a bit, sharing a few of her tricks. She had become as a good a friend to you as Fareeha was, however you found yourself starting to develop more of a crush on her than just seeing her as a friend. You always had a thing for muscular women, and her thick accent was another thing you found extremely attractive.
     "Lucky for us, the other training room opened back up, so we can start heading back there tomorrow." Fareeha said, watching as you took your turn on the pool table in a lounging area. The two of you liked to play games like this in the evening, it was a good time to just talk and hangout when you weren't working together.
     "Oh." You said, trying to hide your disappointment. "Does that mean it'll just be us two again?" You did start seeing Zarya outside of the gym, but that wasn't everyday. You wanted to be able to see her more often, and the gym was the best place to do so.
     Fareeha nodded at your question. "Yeah, us and anyone else who used it before."
     You took your shot on the table, knocking one the striped balls into the pocket in the corner. You stood up straight and looked up at her. "Does Zarya ever use that one?" You ask as your eyes drift back down the table, scanning for your next target. Fareeha thought about your question for a bit before she shook her head.
     "I don't think so. I've seen her use it maybe once before, but she prefers the larger one. Besides I think that one's a little closer to her room." You sigh silently at her response, leaning back over the table as you aimed at a new ball.
     "Do you think we could maybe keep using the other one...?" You asked, a tad quiet. Out of the corner of your eye you saw an expression of confusion on Fareeha's face before a look of realization replaced it, bringing a small smirk with it.
     "You like her don't you?" She asked as you took your shot on the table, just barely missing the pocket. You groan and stood up, a light pink dust covering your cheeks.
     "Maybe a little..." You admit. Fareeha snickered and walked over to the other side of the table.
     "Well, I'm not one to get in the way of those things. So tell you what, we can keep going over there." She replied with a shrug. You smile a bit at her answer as you watched her line up her shot as you thanked her.
     Months had passed and the two of you had continued meeting up with Zarya every morning, except for rest days. At first, Zarya was a bit confused since she knew you two normally went to the other gym and it was no secret that it was open again. Fareeha helped you out, saying that you two kept going there since there was more room.
     During the time that you two continued this routine, you found your crush simply getting stronger. There were some days where you and Zarya hung out outside of the gym as well, much more frequent than before. Fareeha listened to your rants and even helped out as a bit of a wingwoman. At one point, she was even the one who forced you into confessing.
     "You two have been friends for quite a few months now. How long have we been going there? Five months? Six? And you still like her? That means you should probably tell her." Fareeha said, looking over to you sitting beside her. You sighed and glanced back.
     "How does that have to do with me having to tell her?"
     "A crush doesn't normally last this long. You seriously like her so you need to tell her." She responded, a serious look on her face. "Before it's too late." She added as you looked back down at the counter top.
     "Yeah, you're right..." You mumbled.
     Fareeha ended up convincing you to tell her the following morning to which you had no choice but to agree.
      For once, you didn't want to go to the gym for your morning workout, Fareeha had to force you to go with her. Reluctantly, you went along, trying to stop your brain from thinking up every scenario of what could go wrong. The two of you walked in and you were greeted by that familiar Russian just like every morning.
     Zarya smiled and verbally greeted you two. Fareeha bowed her head slightly with a smile before glancing over to you, nudging you just barely. "I'm going to fill up our water bottles, I'll be back." She said. You knew what she was doing, she was purposefully leaving you two alone do you could have your talk. You took a deep breath and nodded before walking up to Zarya who gave you a bright smile as she told you good morning.
     "You ready to get started? I can help you with your stretches again if you'd like." She said. You forced a smile and nodded.
     "Yeah sure, but uh, could we talk first?" Zarya rose a brow but nodded.
     "Of course. What about?" You nervously glanced over to Fareeha who was taking her sweet time with the water. She wasn't looking at you two but you knew she was listening.
     "Well, first of all, please don't let anything I say ruin the friendship we have. I really don't want it to change and if you must you can disregard anything and everything that comes out my mouth." You stated first. The look on Zarya's face told you that she had a good feeling on what this was about, but you continued anyways. "I've felt this way for a while now, and it's the truth as to why Fereeha and I keep coming to this gym instead of the other. In all honestly, I really like you, more than a friend." You said, a deep dark blush covering your cheeks as you tried to explain everything short and simple. Glancing up, you saw a shocked look on Zarya's face and a light pink on her cheeks. "I'm really sorry, I just figured I should tell you since it's been going on for so long..."
     The woman shook her head as a smile made its way onto her face. "No, don't apologize. I was actually going to ask you out on a date after our workout this morning..." Zarya said, her blush darkening a bit. Your eyes widened slightly as you comprehended her words. "I guess this means you'd be interested in dinner with me tonight?" She asked as you had to force yourself out of a shock to nod.
     "Yeah, of course." You reply with a bright smile.
