The Calm in His Storm (Octane x Wattson)

seven

As soon as Natalie reappeared in the drop ship, Pathfinder came running up.

"We won friend!" he "smiled" happily and Natalie laughed as she gave him a high five. His emotion box showed a happy face and he walked off to tell everyone they won.

"You're lucky he was off his game today. You could've gotten us a loss." muttered Renée from behind, her arms crossed in annoyance and Anita rolled her eyes. "Ignore her Nat. She's aggressively competitive. You'll get used to it."

Natalie just gave a nod, and tensed up when she felt strong arms around her waist.

"Let's do that again sometime." came Octavio's warm voice and she felt her face heat up as he squeezed her gently.

She could feel all eyes on them and immediately turned in his hold, backing away slightly.

He smirked at this.

"Oui. It was fun." she smiled and he laughed.

"They're so cute." whispered Elliot loudly and everyone erupted in laughter as Natalie blushed and Octavio refused to look at anyone else.

Later that night after everyone had celebrated Wattson's second win in a row as a new Legend, Octavio finally entered his room.

He had a permanent grin on his face even as he finished his shower. He left his shirt off this time since it was hot and took off his shorts, leaving him in nothing but his briefs.

He then turned on his stereo, loud rock music playing and began banging his head wildly, his hair whipping around as he went.

He was just so damn happy.

He was so busy rocking out, that he didn't hear the knock on the door.

It opened and Natalie's eyes widened at the sight of Octavio in nothing but his underwear. They were surprisingly..black. She figured they'd be green. His toned chest was on display and she could see his tattoos better.

It made her blush deeply and she was tempted to leave but she really wanted to talk with him.

His eyes finally opened when he turned and he blinked when he spotted Natalie there, her face red.

He was confused as to why, until he realized that he wasn't wearing shorts.

"Oops." he coughed and she laughed. He grinned at this and she shook, her hand clutching her stomach.

While she was choking with laughter, his eyes roamed over her and they darkened slightly when he saw that she was only in an over sized shirt.

Wait.

"Octane's #1 fan? Is that from the merch shop?" he blurted out and she blushed, shifting on her feet. Her face was flushed from laughing so hard and he thought she looked damn cute..and..

He immediately pushed that thought away.

"Yeah. I liked it." she mumbled shyly and he swear she couldn't get any more adorable. He smirked at her and she huffed. "What?"

"Oh nothing. I just can't believe you're my number one fan after only two days. That has to be a record." chuckled Octavio and she puffed out her cheeks, marching up to him and leaving a kiss on his cheek.

He immediately froze and she smirked.

"Stop being mean." she said and he blinked slowly, looking down at her. "I wasn't. I don't mind you as my biggest fan, hermosa. You're sweet and not creepy at all." said the daredevil and she laughed at this, making him smile.
