Shorts I
So throughout the writing of this story, various ideas of little cute scenes pop into my head randomly. Sometimes I cannot always fit them in because it doesn't flow with the story very well, until now. This chapter is just a combination of a couple of scenarios that I have thought of but could never put in. Let me know what you think of this style of chapter because I will mostly likely make one or two more of these. I hope you like them
Hot Summer Day
You exited the training room, a damp towel over your shoulder. A workout with Zarya and Reinhardt is always something to put some hair on your chest. The towel was once soaked in icy cold water but has since turned into lukewarm water due to this damned Gibraltar heatwave. Overwatch is no longer funded by the UN, so Winston had to make some budget cuts, one of them being reduced air conditioning. You had never really noticed until this day.
You walked through the doors that led outside, expecting some sort of cooler temperature than what was inside the gym. You groaned when you realized your expectations were too high. The afternoon rays of sun beat down on you as you walked down the walkways of Gibraltar. The only relief you got was when you walked into parts of shade from the buildings covering the sunshine.
While you were walking, you saw a blue streak flash in the corner of your eye. Your head darted to it and it instantly disappeared. You smirked and changed your course to follow the blue streak. It led you to the cliffside covered in shade.
Lena sat with her bare feet dangling off the edge of the cliff. She had a sports bra and short shorts and her hair was spiky as per usual. She sat with a large smile as she stared at her vanilla waffle cone coated with sprinkles. She took a big lick off the top and crunched on the sprinkles then smiled again.
You grinned and took a seat next to her in the shade. Your back rested on the cool rocky wall, instantly feeling relieved. Lena looked at you and waved before licking her ice cream again. You waved slightly and rested your eyes for a few moments. She drifted off and placed her head on your shoulder before instantly picking it back up
"Ewww. You're all sweaty"
You nodded and took a deep breath "Yeah...that happens when you work out with Zarya on a scorching hot day"
She giggled and took another lick of her ice cream. You looked down at it. "Let me have a lick" You told her
She leaned closer to you and licked your cheek once and looked at you with a smile. You gave her a look that questioned her actions and she began to laugh.
You shook your head "Why?"
She giggled again "Oh come on. We've done nastier things than that" She winked at you
You opened your mouth, but no words came out so you shut it. You swiped the waffle cone from her hand and took a lick
"Hey!" She punched you in the arm
You gave the ice cream back to her after taking one (or two) lick(s). You laughed when she stuck her tongue out at you after receiving the cone again "I just wanted a lick. Is that so much to ask for?"
She just 'said' "Hm" quickly and returned to eating the dessert.
You two sat in silence for a while. You just stared off the cliffside and looked at the beautiful sea before you, occasionally drifting off but unable to fully go to sleep because of the heat.
"So...I can't take this heat and I'm guessing you can't either" Lena said biting into the cone
You nodded with your eyes closed. "C'mon, I wanna show you something" She said standing up.
You reluctantly stood up and slowly followed Lena. She blinked forward then looked back seeing how slow you were then she blinked back and began tugging on your arm. You almost tripped from the sudden pull and she laughed. She led you down a small and hidden pathway that was close to the water. On one side of you was the high cliff side and the other was water. The pathway descended down closer to the water. She pulled your hand and was laughing all the way down, saying things like "C'mon!" and "Let's go!"
You got to sea level eventually and she let go of your hand. It was an almost flat slab of rock where the water washed up on it. It was practically like a beach where the sand is replaced by rock. You never noticed how clear the water was before. You could see the soil below the water as well as the increase of depth the farther you went from the Rocky beach.
As you were staring at the secluded part of Gibraltar that you never noticed before, Lena began stripping out of her small amount of clothing until she was completely naked. Her thin, stunning body never got old to look at. She put her hands on her hips and smiled at you
"Well, wot are you waiting for?"
You smirked and began taking your sweaty clothes off. As long as you've been here, you've never give swimming in the surrounding body of water, well there's a first for everything. As you were putting your clothes away from the water, Lena shoved you in and you fell to the ground in the water on your butt.
You probably would've been mad if not for the fact that the water felt great against your bare body. She laughed and jumped over you into the water, splashing you.
She emerged and spit water out of her mouth like a fountain. You smiled at her and moved out deeper into the water, enabling you to swim freely. Lena followed you with a doggy paddle swim. When you got out deep enough where she couldn't stand, she began to hold onto you too keep herself up. It looked like she was struggling a bit
You smiled at her "Do you not know how to tread water?"
"I'm not much of a swimmer, luv" She said still holding onto you
You pulled her closer to the shore so she could stand. You two floated around, enjoying the refreshing water on the hot summer day. She practiced treading water and swimming in the shallow end. You watched with a smirk as she tried to figure it out.
She submerged under and swam behind you. She jumped out of the water and hugged your neck from behind you, laughing all the way. She put her cheek on the nape of your neck and stayed there for a few moments, dozing off a little.
Abruptly, Lena splashed you and giggled "Splash fight!"
You covered your face as she bombarded you with water "You're on!"
You two began sending waves of water at each other. Both of you laughing. Upon being hit with one splash, you yelled and covered one of your eyes. Lena immediately stopped and went wide eyed, holding her hand over her mouth. She placed her other on your shoulder
"(Your name)! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to-"
She was interrupted when you sent another wave of water at her. You began to laugh and she smiled at you
"Not bad, luv"
You shrugged "I learn from the best" If course you are referencing Lena's acts she does to tease you that she does fairly often.
She was walking around the beach like area when she tripped on a rock. She fell directly into your arms like it was a movie. You held her up so she could regain her footing, all the while staring into her big and bright brown eyes. You pulled her closer and you two kissed slowly at waist level in the water. You held her chin lightly as you broke apart, holding her head up so she could look at you
She was practically melting in your arms. As if you drained all her confidence from just one spontaneous and romantic move. You looked away from her and up the pathway.
"We should probably head back huh?"
She shook her head snapping out of her trance. "Wot? Nooo they're fine without us. Can't we just stay here?"
You shook your head. "As much as I'd like that, we have things to do" You said as you exited the body of water
Lena made a pouty face and reluctantly followed you out. You used your shirt as a makeshift towel and got dressed again. Lena followed your motions and dried herself off the best you could. She walked next to you as you made your way back up the pathway. You smiled down at her and put an arm around her. Back to work.
Golden Weapons
"(Your name) I really don't get what you are asking of me" Winston told you within his lab
He was tinkering on some technology that you didn't understand. You were wandering about, picking up and looking at all of Winston's projects and tools. You felt like Lena being so fidgety.
"It's not that hard, I just want my weapon imbued with gold" You told him as your were holding up and inspecting a piece of metal.
"But I don't understand why?"
"I think the better question is why not"
He chuckled "It doesn't serve any purpose in battle. Correct?" he said slightly condescending
"...Correct. But there's no disadvantages to it"
Suddenly Lena entered Winston's lab work you two. You both looked to the door and she smiled and waved. You both gave a head nod and she sat cross legged on a table next to you, tuning in on the conversation before her.
"So you want me, who's already pressed for money, to construct an actual gold weapon for no apparent reason?" He said still working on his project in front of him.
"I wouldn't say no reason. There's no doubt it would look really cool"
"But what would be gold. You use a large array of weapons anyway"
You flipped out your butterfly knife and spun it around your fingers a few times casually. Lena watched wide eyed in awe at your technique, as if she was watching fireworks. "I want a knife just like this one, but golden" You told him. Once you stopped flipping the knife, Lena grabbed it from your hands and you let it slip out of your grasp. She began to try to twirl it like you did. "Don't cut yourself" you told her and turned back to Winston
"So it'd be like Genji having gold shuriken or Mccree having a gold revolver? No actual purpose other than it looking better?"
"Exactly!"
Winston laughed as he put down his screwdriver to look at you "I'll tell you what, once you complete 300 missions successfully, I'll construct a golden knife for you"
You groaned "300? Fine, deal"
"Ow!"
Both of you turned to Lena who cut the back of her hand with your knife. Blood was gushing out of the long cut. She watched as it dripped down her forearm. You and the scientist would normally be worried, if only Lena was a normal woman.
Her accelerator lit up and she disappeared for a split second before reappearing in this timeframe. She looked at her now healed hand and smiled. Then she looked at the knife and frowned.
"This thing is stupid"
You grinned at the Brit and took the knife from her. You twirled it a few times then closed it and smirked at her. She scowled at you.
"I told you not to cut yourself."
"You make it look so easy though!"
You headed to the door and Lena followed. You turned back toward Winston "300 successes?"
He smiled and adjusted his glasses "300 successes."
You nodded and left his lab. Lena waved to her good friend and jogged to catch back up to you. She looked at the knife at your waist and snatched it. Before you could grab it from her, she held out her arm away from you and opened it slowly.
"Lemme try just one more time"
Lena's the jealous type
Throughout the lockdown in (your city) the activities you and Lena could do were limited. However, as time passed, the heat that was on Lena died down. People began to lose hope that they were going to find the culprits of the destruction of your city. Not to mention the authorities had better things to do than find the Talon agents that weren't even in the city at the time.
So, you and Lena began to go out more and more. Whether she'd come with you to the store or she'd want to go get something to eat. Of course she still needed to wear one of your sweatshirts as to hide the bright chronal accelerator. Regardless, it was better than staying in your house all day, even if there were plenty of things to do in it.
One particular evening, Lena was getting hungry, but she didn't want snacks nor did you feel like cooking anything. So, you decided to take her to a restaurant. Not necessarily as a date, though you wished it was, but rather the restaurant was known around the city and was never a bad idea.
So she had on her leggings and put on one of your sweatshirts. The accelerator still protruding slightly, but not enough for anyone to immediately notice. You decided to dress in similar casual fashion as to not make her feel under dressed at the somewhat formal restaurant.
In the car, Lena still fiddled with the radio and lights all the way there. Whether it be her child like curiosity was endless, or she was trying to be cute and get your attention, more so the latter. But at the moment, you were naive and still had the mindset of "Why would Tracer from Overwatch try to get my attention". Of course that didn't stop you from catching feelings. Regardless if you knew or not, Lena was falling for you as well.
You got to the restaurant and were seated by an omnic upon arriving. After a while of looking at the menu, a young, blond, attractive waitress arrived at your table with a smile. She introduced herself and asked what you both wanted for your drinks. You told her and the waitress smiled. She took a step away and then stopped herself and turned back to your table
"May I say you two make an adorable couple"
"Oh no no. We're not together" Lena said without hesitation
The waitress gasped and covered her mouth "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to-"
You laughed "It's okay"
She smiled at the words of comfort and turned to Lena "I was going to say, you did a good job" she said to the Brit
You laughed at the compliment as did Lena, but hers was a nervous, forced laugh. The waitress left and brought back your drinks within a minute or so. When she got back, she asked if you were ready to order, so you did. Lena told her what she wanted and the waitress wrote it down
"And for you, uuummm"
"(Your name)" You told her
"(Your name)! Pleasure to meet you" She giggled and held out her hand and you shook, both of you smiling. Lena glared at the waitress, shooting daggers. Bloody hell that laugh was cute Lena thought to herself whilst frowning.
The waitress took your order then left the table. Lena scowled at the woman as she left and kept the same look as her gaze shifted to her drink. You smiled at her as she spun the ice around with her straw
"What?" You asked
She looked at you with an eyebrow raised "Nothing"
You let it go this time and you two began to talk, fiddle on your phones, and sip on your drinks, the usual. Whenever the waitress would pass by your table, she would give you a bright, confident smile. Lena rolled her eyes each time. As she was talking to you, Lena tried to giggle at as many things as she could. Not laugh, but giggle. She knew how much you loved it, and she wanted to keep your attention as much as possible. The waitress came back with your meals and placed them down in front of you two.
She placed a hand lightly on your shoulder "Enjoy your meal (your name)"
"Thank you!" You said with a smile
"And you as well, Miss" She said to Lena as she walked back into the kitchen
Lena gave her a simple nod and glared at her again. You smiled at her again. "There you go again. Do you have something against our waitress?"
She stared at her plate with an almost disgusted look, tearing apart her food. "Oh nooo. She's perfect" Obvious sarcasm in her voice.
"Do you know her from anywhere?"
Lena put down her utensils "So are we just going to talk about our waitress all night long?" she snapped
"No I just-"
"Whatever"
You shook your head and began eating. Lena began to return to her cheery self, mostly because the waitress hadn't walked by in a while. When you were almost done with your meals, she returned smiling as bright as ever.
"Is everything okay? Can I get you anything else?" She was talking to both of you but the questions were directed toward you
Before you could speak up, Lena did for you "We're fine" She said in a rather rude tone. The waitress frowned and nodded, slightly startled, then left again
"Lena!" You scolded her for her behavior
She shrugged "What? We're fine, yeah?"
You began to think then abruptly your jaw dropped. "Oh my god, you're jealous!" you finally realized
She continued to look at her plate and she scoffed "Jealous? Yeah right luv"
You began to laugh "I don't believe this. The Lena Oxton is jealous"
She leaned forward over the table "I am not jealous" she said through gritted teeth
"Whatever you say"
She scowled at you and then looked back at her plate, poking at the remaining food rather aggressively. The waitress came back with the check and handed it to you directly. She took your plate and walked over to Lena's side
"Are you finished ma'am?"
"Does it look like I'm finished" She gestured to her plate that still had a few bites left
The waitress looked startled and wasn't sure what to do. "I'm sorry for her. She's a little... grumpy at the moment"
"Not a problem! Please come again"
You thanked her and she left your table. You looked to Lena and she had her arms crossed and was frowning at you. You smiled at her. "I'm 'grumpy'?" She asked
"Well yeah. Look your frowning right now"
"Can you just pay the bill already"
You did just that, but on the bill, the waitress put her phone number and a winking face. You smirked at it.
"Wot's so funny?"
"You're not going to like it" you gave her the bill and she saw the writing on it.
She scoffed and gave it back then crossed her arms and shook her head, frowning. You put the money in the checkbook as well as a tip.
"Whoa why are you tipping her that much" Lena asked a little shocked.
You two began heading to the door "She was a good waitress"
"Of course you think so. 'Enjoy your meal (your name)' 'I hope you come back (your name)' '(your name) (your name) (your name)' Blah blah blah"
You unlocked the car door and pulled out of the parking lot once both of you were in. You laughed at the woman "So you're not at all jealous"
"No!"
"I didn't know you needed my full undivided attention"
"I don't! Hook up with that boiler, shag for all I care" She crossed her arms and stared out the window
You grinned, finding this whole situation amusing "Lena, you're being ridiculous"
"If you take me to dinner, you should talk to me. Not the stupid waitress"
"Why do you care if I do, not that I did. It wasn't a date. You said yourself 'we're not together'" Lena tensed up upon realizing you were right. "Besides, you're...irreplaceable. I ordered my food and responded when the very nice waitress talked to me. Simple as that. Did I ignore you at all during the dinner? No." you reassured her
She looked away from the window and to you. "Irreplaceable?"
"Yes. There's not a chance any other woman could be as fun and entertaining as you"
"Really?" She perked up and began to smile
"Yes really"
She looked to the window again still smiling brightly. She traced her finger on the condensation on the window. You just made her night
"But could you at least admit that you're the jealous type?" You said with a smirk
"I am not jealous!"
The Broken Vase
You had just left to go shopping. Lena was still a number one suspect for the crimes against your city, so she remained at your house for the presumably short time you'd be gone. It was just some simple shopping, how long could it be?
It was still only early afternoon when you left. When the door behind you clicked shut, Lena's smile faded and she looked around in your above average house.
"Hm" She murmured as she looked up, down, left, and right
The whole house to herself. That's a little weird huh? Lena just moved in and she's already alone in the house. Lena couldn't complain though. She could've saved a bizarre older man from the now destroyed building and would've been forced to ask him. Thankfully it was a cute boy of the same age as her that Reaper had attacked. Cute, rich, boy at that, look at this place! Lena thought as she slowly walked from room to room, inspecting everything.
She looked at all your fancy furniture and appliances, the luxurious style of the walls and overall set up, the fascinating view of the large wall of windows where you could see the city, as well as the paintings, plants, and other high end decorative items. She walked over to a table in the living room where there rested a large and expensive looking vase that rested atop it.
She inspected it and contemplated picking it up. Her darker side of her won with the thought of "He won't even know I touched it". She spun it around her hands, looking at it from different angles then threw it up in the air and caught it before setting it back on the table it belonged on.
The longer you were gone, the more bored she got. Walking through your house could only keep her busy for so long. She turned on the TV and cycled through practically every channel, but to no avail, she found nothing that interested her. So, she left it on as background noise so she didn't feel so lonely. She made herself a cup of tea, not before looking through each and everyone of your cabinets.
Lena noticed you had your laptop lying on the coffee table and her curious side decided to open it up and see what you were doing on it. She scrolled through your work stuff and occasionally skimmed through it to see what exactly you did at your job. Lena got bored and opened a new window. She smirked to herself and looked at your search browser history. She frowned upon realizing you had not looked up anything inappropriate on the computer, at least not recently.
The lonely Brit placed the laptop back where it belonged and sighed a sigh of boredom. What to do what to do. She did as anyone else would do and played on her phone for a while. Eventually, even that began to get boring, so she began looking for stuff to do.
She went into the master bedroom to try her luck in entertaining herself. wardrobe and looked at all your clothes you had. She nodded approving your fashion choices then began taking clothes out and holding them up to her torso, seeing if she'd ever where any of them. Lazily, she tossed them back in and around the wardrobe instead of hanging them or folding them back up
Then Lena went to your dresser and began smelling all your different colognes and deodorants. She went back and forth between all of them trying to figure out which was her favorite. She also tried on your different hats you had. She laughed as she tried all of them on and in different positions as well and looked in the mirror. Of course for Lena, pictures had to be taken of her wearing the hats, so she did.
Then the time traveler found a large stereo system in the corner of your room. She inspected it and turned it on. She plugged her phone in and played some music. Testing the limits of the speaker, she cranked up the volume. Her music began jamming and she began to sing along with the vocalists. She also began to jump around in a high energy dance around your room. She jumped on the bed like a trampoline as she sang in a mediocre singing voice. But, no one was around to hear her sing, so she could be as bad at singing as she wanted to, even though she didn't try to be bad. After playing a few songs on a high volume, she shut off the speaker and blew her wild, brunette hair out of her eyes
After finding enough preoccupations in your room, Lena went down to your basement and looked through all the junk that was around there. Surely there was something right?
"Ooo!" She exclaimed when she found a group of some of your older sports equipment.
She brought up a golf ball, a golf club, and a soccer ball. This should entertain her for a while, at least. First, she blinked to your kitchen and grabbed a glass cup. She placed it on the ground and began attempting to putt into it. Of course never having played this particular sport before, Lena's posture and form were not up to par (puns) and she repeatedly missed her shots from all angles. Eventually, she got frustrated and hit the ball as hard as she could. Miraculously, it hit the cup and shattered the top of it then bounced off the wall, leaving a small dent.
She gasped and picked up the glass. She frowned and picked up the rest of the broken glass then disposed of it. She even put it under some other garbage so you wouldn't see the broken cup the next time you open the trash can. She washed her hands and picked up the soccer ball with smile.
"Now, a sport I can actually play" She said to herself
She dribbled a little and bounced the ball off her knees and shins. She was nowhere near the skill of Lucio, but she dabbled in soccer. She got some good juggles in and when the ball fell, she'd restart and try to beat her high score. At one point, she accidentally juggled the ball into the air too high. She didn't know what possessed her to wind up and kick the ball when it came back down. It hit the leg of the table that held the vase at a great force. The table rocked and the vase began falling. Lena blinked forward to it and lunged to the ground. Just in the nick of time, she snagged it before it fell to the ground.
Lena placed the vase back on its pedestal and let out a sigh of relief and wiped her brow. She turned away from the vase and put her hands on her hips, letting out a triumphant "Ha!" for saving the day. The only thing is that when she put her hands on her hips, her elbow bumped the vase just hard enough that it collapsed from its position and fell to the floor, shattering immediately
"Awww Rubbish!" Lena shouted as she stared at the many pieces on the ground
She blinked from room to room and eventually found a handheld broom and pan to sweep up the mess. When she had scooped it all up, she looked down at the pile and wondered where she should put these remnants. The angel on her shoulder told her to keep the shattered pieces because you should piece the vase back together and that she should tell you the truth. The devil however said that she needed to dispose of it immediately and never mention a word about it again. She gave in and went with the latter voice of reasoning
She put the vase pieces in the garbage can then she decided to get rid of the garbage bag itself. So with many grunts of struggle, she dragged the bag of trash out of the house and to the curb outside. She blinked back in the house and replaced the bag. Feeling satisfied, she jumped on the couch and took a deep breath. He'll never even know She thought and a snicker followed the devious comment
A few hours later...
"Lena."
"Ya?"
"What did you do to my vase?"
