The Calm in His Storm (Octane x Wattson)

twelve

Octavio couldn't sleep that night. It wasn't because of his parents or because of Crypto.

It was because he was frustrated with himself for not being able to tell Natalie he was basically in love with her. It was the only word that felt right when he thought about her.

He loved her.

He wanted to kiss her and touch her in ways she never had before. He wanted to be able to walk out and have the world know she was his. He wanted to leave hickeys all over her and maybe..

Maybe he wanted to be with her for more than one life.

He sighed to himself and glanced down at her. She was snuggled into his side like always, her Nessie stuffed animal in her arms and a content expression on her face. She was wearing one of his merch shirts and he was wearing briefs that had her name on the ass.

She had laughed so hard the day he got them that she couldn't breathe. He had too. He didn't even know why Apex made them.

He stared at her for a moment longer, then finally decided.

He would tell her on a date. Of course he would just say they were hanging out like usual but he knew that's what they were. He would take her out for breakfast then they would go to an arcade or something then later, he would tell her.

He had to.

He nodded to himself then decided to check his social media to pass the time. As usual he had tons of fan girls posting pictures of him with creepy captions, some mentions from Elliot and some DMs from photographers about some photoshoots they had planned for him.

They wanted to know if he could take off his mask. He immediately said no.

TheMostHandsomeLegend: @Octraine^<>^, so has my ship sailed yet or...?

And attached to the post was a picture of Octavio wiping away Natalie's tears in the drop ship. The daredevil groaned under his breath and smirked as he typed a response.

Octraine^<>^: I wouldn't know, I'm not the owner of it dumbass :')

In an instant there were hundreds of likes and retweets and he chuckled to himself.

TheMostHandsomeLegend: Hey! Don't be a smart-ass, that's my job!

Octraine^<>^: I don't know how my ass can be smart but okay amigo

TheMostHandsomeLegend: Like this

And attached to the thread was a picture of the briefs that had Natalie's Legend name on it. His face burned and he wondered how Elliot found out he had a pair.

He grumbled under his breath about stupid best friends and turned his screen off, tossing his phone to the side and deciding to get a few hours of sleep.

However, when he woke up, Natalie was nowhere to be seen.

He shot up and looked around, wiping his eyes out quickly. "Lele.." he trailed off and his eyes widened. Natalie was completely naked, drops of water trialing down her smooth, pale skin and landing on the floor below. Her skin was slightly flushed, most likely from the heat of the shower, and her hair wet.

He sucked in a breath at the sight of her bare breasts and her perky ass.

Natalie shrieked and he turned around immediately, his heart racing.

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't know you were changing!" he stammered, though he didn't actually feel that bad. She was damn beautiful. She was silent and he was worried that she was upset until after a few moments, she came over and hugged him.
