love junkie [ junkrat x reader ]

payback ch. 3

Yawning and hitting your alarm, you realized two who weeks had passed at the Overwatch base.
You had gotten to know some people in that time. Tracer was essentially your best friend there, Mc'Cree would flirt and tell you tales of the old west, and D.Va would occasionally invite you to game with her. Everyone was pretty nice, aside from Junkrat. Ever since you woke Junkrat up that one day, he would show up late to every meal, and always tell you how much he disliked you. You had a festering hate for that little rat. You and him would constantly fight, about stupid things. You had no true reason to hate him, considering it was your fault you made him so angry that one day. Pushing him out of your thoughts, your checked your calendar.

It was a break day for the heros, so everyone did their own thing. Walking room to room, you could see some people. D.Va played video games with Reaper and Lucio, Mc'Cree was having a drink with Hanzo, Mei was talking with Genji, and so on. You decided not to make breakfast, seeing as everybody was already awake doing their own thing.

You decided to go into the lounge with some of the heros and watch D.Va race Lucio and Reaper in Mario Kart. She was in first, as usual.

Turing your head to the sound of the door opening, you saw Tracer. "Ello love!" you smiled, giving her a wave.

"Whats up?" you asked her.

She walked over to you, then grabbed your arm. Pulling you off the couch, she dragged you out the door, and made her way out back. "I wanna show you something!" She was really up beat and chipper today, which was normal for her. Although you felt she was a bit too chipper.

Arriving at once of the "Fight Zones" as you called them, Tracer told you to shut your eyes, and hold your hands out. She placed something quite light, and relatively long in your hand. "Okay, open your eyes!"
Looking down, you saw Hanzo's bow.

"How did you manage to get this?!" Tracer smiled looking around then pointing to the right, where a table held some other weapons. Reapers guns, Mercy's pistols, etc.

"I've heard you mention wanting to be a hero before, so i had some of the others let your try their weapons." She had a sheepish smile on her face, and you couldn't help but think of how amazing she was. Placing the bow down, you flung your arms around her and gave her a huge hug.

"Have I ever told you I love you?"

"Don't believe so." She grinned. "Let's get started, shall we?

***
You used almost everyone's weapons - well, that you could use.
So far, Hanzo's bow and Mercy's weapons had been your favourites. You liked the idea of not being directly in the action, but still be able to help. You did think it might have been cool to try out Junkrats bombs. You didn't like him, but man did those seemed cool.
"Think were done for today, yeah?" Checking your watch, it was about two hours until dinner.

"Ah, shit, you're right, I should get going."
You waved her goodbye, and she told you to start meeting her there after breakfast on days off, or after dinner.

Making your way around to the front, you decided to check in on Roadhog. He didn't say much, but he would always tell you interesting stories and tales of his adventures with Junkrat if you asked him.
'Could use myself a story' you thought.
Walking into the shack, you saw nobody was inside. Turning to leave, you smacked face first into Junkrat. "Mind yourself, Shelia! What'ya even doing 'ere?" he sounded annoyed, and your face had a frown wiped upon it.

"I was looking for Roadhog, you prick."

"Well hes not here, ain't he?" He rolled his eyes, shoving you out of his way. Walking to his bed, he flopped down onto it. Staring him down, he seemed... Frustrated.

"Something on your mind?"

"Whats it to you?" he spat.

You sighed. Why even try to be nice to him? There was a reason you didn't like him. "Just being nice, you dick."
You turned to leave when he called your name. Looking back, he sat on his bed, and patted the place next to him.

You thought for a moment, but took his offer. Sitting beside him, you looked towards him. "What's on your mind?" you asked. He sighed, turning hos head away from you. "Never mind... 'S not important." You sheepishly wrapped your arms around him, pulling him into a hug. He face turned completely red, and he gently shoved you off. "Y-You should get started on dinner!"
You nodded at his words, going towards the exit.

"Feel better." Closing the door behind you, you couldn't help but feel stupid. 'Why did I hug him!?' you thought.
You tried to stop thinking about it, but you couldn't.

***

You sat at the table, not exactly eating you mashed potatoes and lamb, but rather mushing it around and picking at it. "You okay, darlin'?" Mc'Cree asked you.

"Huh?"You were so distracted you barely heard him the first time.

"Yer food, you're barely eatin'."

You nodded, giving him a smile. "Just not that hungry."

By the time everyone else had finished, your plate still had everything on it. Everyone left to go to bed, and the cleaners came to grab everything.
About an hour later, you were still there, and the clock read 10:45 pm. You sighed, getting up to throw the food out. Before you could, someone grabbed your arm.
"Don't waste the food. You should eat." Looking up, you saw Junkrat. A blush spread across your face and you quickly looked away.

"Y-You're right! I'll just eat in my room." Junkrat laughed.

"No need, Shelia. Come hangout with me and Roadhog." You felt a bit awkward. Junkrat has never been this nice to you, it seemed so... Fake. Taking your wrist, he dragged you to his shack.
"Ladies first."
Smirking at him, you stepped through the door. Suddenly, all you felt was cold, dirty water.

"JUNKRAT!" You yelled, dropping the plate, then wiping the water away from your eyes.

"Payback!" he said, almost coughing up a lung from laughing so hard.
No wonder he was being so nice.
You sighed, starting to walk back to the base to take a shower. The cold air plus the water didn't feel good, leaving you to shiver on your way back.

Feeling the warm water hit your skin, you washed the dirty water off of yourself.
Turning off the water and stepping out, you dried yourself and headed to bed.
You thought to yourself, what would have happened if he didn't plan that? Maybe you two would have had a nice talk, discussing various things. Shaking your head, you drifted to sleep.
