Amelie and Lena

Lena Oxton exited the training room after a long day's work. She wasn't used to this whole shooting and combat thing, and she had a lot of ground to cover. Had it been up to her, Lena would merely be a pilot for Overwatch, but the Slipstream had a different plan for her.

She stared down at her accelerator curiously. She felt the metal on her chest and waved a hand over the bright blue light in the center. As her gaze was honed in on the device, she walked into a pillar that held up one of the many facilities in Gibraltar, halting her train of thought. The Brit scanned the area hoping nobody saw that, but she noticed a small group of Overwatch soldiers pointing and laughing to themselves

Lena blushed and covered her face in embarrassment before scurrying away. Lena was obviously the newest and youngest member of Overwatch at the moment. The low profile she wanted to keep was nearly impossible to maintain, for everyone at Overwatch had heard the recent tale of Tracer and the Slipstream incident. It also didn't help she had a bright blue target on her chest that signified who she was and pointed out every small act she ever did, including walking right into pillars

It wasn't all bad though. Lena's time spent with the anchor that will eventually bring her great deals of stress was short. So, she still looked at all the positives like being able to literally control time. What energetic and playful person wouldn't want to be able to do that. However, she didn't know how she felt about being forced to train as a field agent. Reyes and Morrison had a consensus that Tracer's abilities would be wasted if she would become a pilot. So here she was learning how to aim two pulse pistols designed by Winston.

Lena didn't know many people around here yet. The only person she fully opened up to was Winston. How can't you become friends with the scientist that saved you from a life out of the time line. She had also met Angela Ziegler recently. The medic seemed very kind, Lena hopes the two of them will become good friends someday when their chance encounters become more frequent.

Lena had already met the strike commanders of Overwatch. Being that she was much newer and younger than Reyes and Morrison, she naturally was intimidated by them, especially Reyes. It was like an unintentional situation of good cop bad cop between the two of them with practically everything.

She had also seen the other agents around the Watchpoint before. Their skill and coordination was unmatched. Lena just felt embarrassed that she was one of them now, but nowhere near their capabilities yet. Her confidence had to be found again now that she was in a field that was foreign to her. When she was a pilot, Lena already knew she was the best of the best, so her ego was boosted and she showed her energetic and bubbly side.

Lena shook her head and ran a hand through her wild brunette hair, still cringing at herself for running into the pillar. All she wanted to do now was go to her quarters and stay their for the night, maybe go see what Winston was up to. Her head was down as she turned the corner into a small control room that held a stairwell leading to the walkway she had to travel on to get to her room.

Right when she entered the building, she ran right into a woman holding a cup of coffee. The coffee spilled everywhere including on the woman's shirt. Lena gasped and cursed herself for not paying attention once more

"I am so sorry! I wasn't paying attention. Here lemme help" Lena said frantically and pulled her sleeve down over her hand and attempted to wipe the coffee stain off the white, collared shirt. Of course the shirt was white.

"It is quite alright" The woman said staring down at her shirt

"Look, it's still good" Lena squatted down and picked up the spilled coffee with only about ¼ of the liquid left in the styrofoam cup. She instantly threw the cup back down after burning her hand from the steaming coffee. She shook her hand to alleviate the pain and licked the remaining liquid off her hand.

The taller woman smiled at Lena. She was a beautiful woman with long black hair set in a ponytail. She dressed more formally with her feminine white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows as well as a black skirt and high heels of the same color. Lena stood up and looked at her then forgot any words that were going to escape her mouth. Now, Lena was straight, but the beauty of the woman stunned her for a moment, making her feel even more embarrassed about her actions

Lena shook her head quickly "I'm sorry. Lemme go get you another cup, wait right here"

She began to run in the direction of the location of the coffee maker, but was halted once the woman placed a hand on her shoulder. The woman laughed "It's alright, I told you" She spoke in a thick French accent

"Noooo, looky I ruined your shirt. The least I can do is get you another cup of coffee"

"Don't worry about it. I have plenty of others...say, you're the pilot aren't you"

"Uhhh yeah. Lena Oxton" Lena held out a hand for her to shake and she did.

"Amelie Lacroix. It's a pleas-"

"Wait! Lacroix? As in, the wife of Gerard Lacroix?"

Amelie smiled and nodded. Lena gasped and held her cheeks "Ohhh no. I'm so sorry I spilled your coffee and stained your shirt. Here take my jacket" Lena quickly took off her flight jacket and handed it to Amelie, who began to chuckle. Lena held her head in a panic and smacked her forehead a few times. "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Mrs. Lacroix I'll make it up to you I-I swear it. Oh no wot is Morrison gonna say *gasp wot is Reyes gonna say? I'm sorry! Let me go clean this up"

Lena began to ran to get a towel to wipe up the coffee, but was once more stopped by Amelie. She was still laughing at Lena's frantic rant. She handed the jacket back to its owner"The strike commanders aren't going to say anything because they nor Gerard will have to know, if that makes you feel better. And please, call me Amelie"

Lena's heart rate gradually slowed after hearing the words of comfort. "Oh...ok, Mrs-errr-Amelie"

"I actually wanted to meet you, I just didn't think it'd be like this" Amelie said with a smile while looking down at her shirt.

"Really? How come"

"Everyone here is so uptight and serious. I hear you are a rather fun woman to be around and I wanted to see if it was true"

"Uhh Who told you that?"

"Winston did. I know you're a busy woman, but by chance would you want to grab some coffee or tea sometime, and this time maybe it could make it to my mouth as opposed to my clothes" Amelie smirked at Lena. She merely was giving the Brit a hard time

Lena blushed and rubbed the back of her neck "Yeeeeah sorry bout that again"

Amelie laughed lightly "No worries. So I'll see you around, cherie?"

"Uhh sure, cherry!"

The French woman laughed again and lightly pinched one of the Brit's cheeks "So cute" She said before leaving the area.

Lena stood there smiling as the clicking of Amelie's heels gradually faded away. She didn't realize that she was blushing. Lena touched the cheek that Amelie pinched and her smile grew. She continued her course with a pop in her step. Lena was just happy she found a new friend.

The next day, Lena exited her room after a long shower. The sun was setting in Gibraltar and she eagerly scanned the area, looking at all the soldiers and residents of the Watchpoint, but her target was not in sight. The wind gradually dried Lena's spiky hair as she quickly walked about the many walkways.

Lena was so excited that she can finally do something other than her standard daily routine, which consisted of waking up, learning how to shoot, learning how to work with a team (which was always a bore), and going to sleep, with the occasional visit to see Winston. The only problem was that Amelie merely said "I'll see you around" with no other details. Lena didn't want to seem clingy or desperate by asking where she was, so she just wandered around the Watchpoint acting like she had somewhere to be.

The longer Lena searched the more her anticipation and excitement faded. She began to lose hope, thinking Amelie never really wanted to spend time with her. Of course, Lena was thinking irrationally, for the Watchpoint was huge and Amelie was often assisting Gerard with anything he may need.

But after a while of walking, Lena sat down on one of the elevated walkways with a long sigh. She swung her dangling legs back and forth and held her head in her hands. Maybe Amelie really didn't want to spend time with the clumsy Brit. After all, she did spill a full cup of steaming coffee on her. Maybe it was because Lena seemed nervous when the two conversed with one another.

"Ah! There you are!"

Lena was startled by the voice and she instantly hopped to her feet. Her mood perked up once she saw it was Amelie. "Oh! Hi!"

"It's very nice to see you again, Lena. I'm glad I just happened to be walking this way. What were you doing sitting here"

Lena's eyes widened "I uhhhh was just enjoying the fresh air" She laughed nervously

"I can see why. It's gorgeous out here. So do you have any plans this evening?"

"I mean, I have a few but I probably have some spare time now" Lena lied

"Oh no please, don't prioritize me. I know how busy an Overwatch agent can be."

"No no no no! It's fine, trust me" Lena said quickly upon realizing that her plan to sound cool and not desperate backfired.

"Perfect! Would you like to come get a cup of tea with me?"

"Sure!" Lena said excited and began to trot in the direction of the large kitchen like area for all the soldiers.

"Where are you going?" Amelie asked and Lena stopped her course

She turned around a little confused "The cafeteria, it's this way...right?"

"Oh please, the drinks there aren't good. We can go to my room and make some"

Amelie began walking in the opposite direction Lena was heading and Lena followed behind. Her mind began racing, some thoughts of regret from a few of her embarrassing moments, and some inappropriate thoughts involving the two of them alone in Amelie's room

Lena snapped out of her trance when Amelie asked her a question. The two of them began talking on the way to the Lacroix residence on Gibraltar. It mainly consisted of Amelie asking questions and Lena shyly answering with short sentence answers.

Amelie's "room" was more like an apartment as opposed to Lena and everyone else's small, enclosed quarters that only contained the basic necessities. This place, however, had a large scaled kitchen, a living room with a sofa and TV, a master bedroom and bathroom, and a bay window that overlooked the ocean. It was clear Gerard and Amelie were high in position in the Overwatch chain. This led Lena to feel a bit more shy

Amelie went and made two cups of tea while Lena sat motionless on the couch, her hands on her lap. There was silence besides the sound of Amelie messing around in the kitchen.

"You know, you can turn on the TV if you'd like" Amelie told her with a smirk, sensing that the Brit was still in the process of opening up to her

"Oh...no it's fine" It wasn't fine. Lena really wanted to break the silence and have background noise, but she didn't see the remote and she didn't want to search for it

Lena scolded herself for being so awkward in this moment. She was so excited for this all day, and now she doesn't know what to say.

Amelie returned to the couch with two cups of tea and the two of them began sipping on their cups. Amelie sat casually, sitting on her legs while Lena was tense with her feet on the ground. The French woman began talking as if her and the Brit were friends for years. She had hoped if Lena saw that she was comfortable with her, then Lena would open up more

And so Lena did. The more Amelie talked, the more Lena did too. She began to open up more, becoming the loud and talkative ball of energy she normally is. Amelie enjoyed this much more. She laughed at Lena's odd and childish behavior. Time seemed to fly by as the two of them were lost in there time with one another.

Lena looked at the bottom of her empty mug and yawned. "Well I guess I should probably get going now" Lena said as much as she didn't want to.

They both stood up and walked to the door. "Thank you for coming, Lena. I had a wonderful time. Adieu"

"Umm Bless you?"

Amelie laughed "Let me try that again. Goodbye"

"Ohhh. See ya 'round, cherry!" Lena said with a giggle

Amelie smiled and closed the door behind her. Lena sighed in satisfaction and began heading in the direction of her room. Her grin never left her face as she thought about the conversations the two of them had. She cringed at one in particular though

"So, I overheard some soldiers talking, and they said they saw this woman walk straight into a pillar, not even on purpose" Amelie said with a chuckle

Lena's face flushed red and she awkwardly laughed along "Oh yeah?"

Amelie nodded "I swear we have some idiots working here"

"Yeeeaaahh, some people..."

No matter, the positives outweighed the negatives tonight. Lena frowned upon entering her room, for it was nothing compared to Amelie's. She shuffled over to her bed and plopped down with a sigh. She pulled her covers up to her neck. She looked at her ceiling and smiled. As her mind raced, she frowned for a second

"Why does Amelie call me cherry?"

Lena Feels Neglected

You stared at the rotating holographic globe on the war table. You were deep in thought as you analyzed every document before you. You would zoom in on a certain Overwatch/Talon base, read the details on it, then zoom out and repeat the process.

It felt like your brain was pulsating from all the higher order thinking this situation required. The situation being Overwatch has 20 people with hardly any supplies, and Talon has a million with the world at their fingertips.

After you snapped on the agents of overwatch a couple of days before, you had an abundance of help, which is what you had asked for. It was mainly Reinhardt and Angela. Reinhardt was experienced and he knew the most about combat and all things battle related. He acted as somewhat like your general, pointing out weak spots in enemy defenses and the like. Angela was basically your second hand man...woman. She had spent much time with Gabriel, Jack, and Gerard back in the golden ages of Overwatch. So, naturally she picked up a few things which she now have advice to you on.

Lena was just a wanderer. She wanted to help, but even though she's the same age as you, she's a bit...dopey at times. If she had given advice, it wouldn't be of much use to you considering she didn't know much, if anything, about tactics and strategy. So instead, she'd often times just come into the room and just touch things to piss you off. And when you yell at her for bugging you, she just giggles and prances away. That woman will be the death of you.

Speaking of the Brit, you heard the whoosh of the door sliding open and in came her. You were looking at some documents on a computer when she hopped onto the war table and sat cross legged, staring at you with a smile.

"Hello, Lena" you said whilst still staring at the screen intently.

"Can we go now?" She said as she was tracing her finger along her white shoes.

"You can go whenever you want"

"But I want you to come with me..."

You turned your head to her and thought for a couple seconds. You had been here for a while "Alright fine. Let's go"

She sprang to her feet with a bright smile. "Really?" you nodded and she ran into your arms.

"Ya know, my feet are kinda hurtin" she said and you knew exactly what this implies. You sighed and picked her up, then she swung around you with a giggle so that she was clinging onto your back.

You trudged through the crunchy snow of Antarctica until you made it to your room. Once you entered the heated quarters, you two flung off your coats and got into bed together. You were messing around on your phone when suddenly Lena took it from you and set it down before she crawled on top of you with a smirk. She traced her finger along your collarbone and neck then licked her upper lip slightly

"Leader of Overwatch...I like the sound of that" She said seductively and moved in closer to you

Before she knew it, she was kissing the palm of your hand that you had held out. She pulled away and looked at you confused and a little disappointed. It had been the first kiss you had denied from her. You moved her off you and stood up

"Let's not forget why I'm leader" You said before exiting into the bathroom, shutting the door behind you. It's not as if you weren't attracted to Lena at the moment, but you didn't want to relate your sex life with the death of a good friend

Lena thought about your words for a few moments, thinking about Winston. "Right..." She said quietly to herself. With her mood completely killed, she turned over onto her side and sighed, falling asleep by the time you returned from the bathroom.

The next day was a standard one at Ecopoint Antarctica. You woke up much earlier than Lena did and returned to the facility you spent most of your time in. You did everything and anything to benefit Overwatch. Things ranging from searching for more soldiers to come to your aid to planning some way to remove the Petras Act to the search for supplies and even possibly planning an attack on a weak Talon base.

You joined Reinhardt in a workout then returned to the war table with the large German after a few hours of work. There was much to discuss between the two of you, and today, Mccree's voice was heard as he gave his thoughts on the matter at hand. It was a productive conversation where the three of you talked back and forth.

All this was happening and Lena was doing God knows what. Maybe she was training like you had advised her to do a couple of days ago so that she could stay on her toes. There wasn't much to do at the Ecopoint anyway. She did go out and play in the snow often, making snowballs and throwing them at passing agents or soldiers, forming snow angels, the typical fun stuff that a child would do on a day school was cancelled

But for now, it didn't really matter where Lena was, for you were focused. Nothing else mattered but the success of Overwatch and the discussion between you three. That being said, when Lena entered the building for one of her usual visits, wearing a black beanie atop the back of her head that covered her ears but still let some strands of hair peek out from the front as well as one of your sweatshirts. You merely turned around to see who it was, then turned back to Mccree and Reinhardt, all three of you circled around the war table

Lena didn't really like that. Normally you would wave, smile, greet her, or all three, but you didn't do anything. It was the little things that counted for the time traveler. You acknowledging her made her feel welcome and glad that she made the decision to see what you were up to.

Lena frowned at you behind your back. She wanted to get your attention, so she walked up to you, got on her tippy toes, wrapped her arms around your neck, and gave you a kiss on the cheek.

"Lena not now, I'm busy" You scolded her and unlatched her arms from your neck. You turned back toward the other two and chimed in

Lena stood beside you awkwardly listening to your conversation. She yawned, for all the talk about tactics and strategy was a bore to her, but she wanted to stay to get your attention. The only problem was, you didn't even notice she was at your side.

So for her second attempt at showing affection, she grabbed hold of your hand and held tightly, interlocking her fingers with yours. You subconsciously squeezed her hand while you were listening. For a few moments, Lena was smiling brightly, glad that you accepted her hand holding. She rested her head on your arm. That is until you took your hand away from hers and used it for hand gestures and pointing things out on the globe.

Lena frowned again. But no matter, she'll just take hold of your hand again when you put it at your side, right? Well that would've been the case had you not placed your hand on the table and leaned on it. Lena put her head down in a sad manner and began walking to the door.

"Lena wait" you said

She turned around with a hopeful expression and held her hands together in front of her in anticipation. "Yes?"

"Can you go get Angela for us?"

Lena's face turned to anger toward you and she turned around again. You thanked her as she exited and she just silently mocked you. She went and retrieved Angela because there was nothing better to do.

Afterwards, she went and hung out with Lucio and Hana. They messed around on Their phones and talked about anything. Lena subtly talked about how she felt you were ignoring her. After, she went back to the room and waited for you to her back. Surely now there was time for the two of you to spend time together. Even if it was just snuggling up together like you did most nights.

When you came back, Lena got excited and tapped the area of the bed next to her, saying that you should get in bed. So you did, but Lena's expectations were too high. The day had been so long that you almost instantly fell asleep and we're not capable of pulling Lena closer to you. Great, now she can't even cuddle with you. She groaned and fell asleep with almost no physical contact with you.

Another lonely night for the Brit. You however slept soundly. But Lena just wanted to feel your touch. An affectionate touch, not one with little meaning where you hug her just to hug her or kiss her just because. But you were a busy man now. Busy and tired

You had spent the next day doing the same things with the same people. It was a routinely process which you weren't too fond of, but someone had to do it. All this planning with no action made it seem like you weren't doing anything of relevance, but if you're able to turn the planning into a reality, that could be a huge benefit for Overwatch.

Lena told herself that what you were doing was for Overwatch, but deep down she didn't really care about that, she just wanted to spend time with you and she didn't know how to tell you that.

So when you left the room to the main control center, Lena didn't even bother coming to see you because she knew that it was just going to upset her more. In order to get you off her mind for the time being, she decided to go to Angela's room and the two of them just talked like the old friends they were. That is until the doctor decided to go help you with your work.

Lena sighed again, still not wanting to go into the room only to be ignored. So she went to the practice range, put in some earbuds, and began unloading a few clips into the bots. Lena scolded herself for being so selfish, wanting you to herself when there were more important matters at hand. But she couldn't help but be mad at you.

After working up a sweat, she walked back to the room to take a shower. To cleanse her body or to clear her mind, she didn't know, but it felt good. Afterwards, she walked back out of the room to the kitchen like facility to grab a drink and a bite to eat before returning back to the room. The frigid air combined with her wet hair made it feel like her whole head was freezing. She began to shiver and quickened her pace through the snow.

Upon her arrival at your quarters, she was greeted with a pleasant surprise of seeing you back early, taking off your coat and placing a small backpack on the ground.

"Uhh Hi, luv! Shouldn't you be...doing those things you do?"

"Athena is downloading and backing up files. Also some other maintenance stuff. And because I need her help for everything, I just decided to come back to the room"

"Soooo...you're staying...for the night...with no work?" Lena said beginning to get excited.

"Yep. I'm all yours"

She jumped in the air "Yaaaay!" and blinked over to hug you. You gladly held her and she began to shiver slightly

"Ahh, you're so cold luv" She said still hugging you with a wide smile

You laughed "You're one to talk, look at you" You poked her rosy red nose on her excited face. She giggled and put her head onto your chest.

"Then warm me up!"

You slid her beanie down over her eyes and she laughed. She took the beanie off and shaked her head to fix her hair then blew the remaining strands out of her face. You smiled at her and the two of you simultaneously grabbed each other's hands. You both moved in close and rubbed your noses against each other, causing you both to laugh. You then gave her a kiss on her slightly blued lips.

"Sir There's- uhhhh" A soldier rushed into the room, slightly out of breath and clearly thrown off by the displays of affection

You pulled away from your kiss quickly and went into strike commander mode while Lena continued to hug your waist "What is it"

"Reinhardt said that he may have found a cache of Talon ammunition that's nearly unguarded. He would like to see you at once"

You thought about it for a few moments and looked down at Lena. You began walking to the door and moved Lena off of you. "Very well. Thank you, soldier" you said and the soldier gave a casual salute and quickly walked away. You put on your jacket and began heading to the door

"(Your name)!" Lena whined, feeling betrayed

"I'm sorry, Lena. I have to...I'll be back"

You closed the door behind you and went to Reinhardt's location to discuss matters. Lena pouted and kicked the door hard. She went to lay on the bed with her arms crossed, more pissed at you now for getting her hopes up. She reassured herself by saying that it'll be quick, that you'll be back in no time. She was wrong.

After realizing that, Lena decided to go talk to Angela again, now that she was done for the night. She put on her hat and walked to the next door down and entered without knocking. She just sadly walked in and wasn't even phased by the fact that Angela was only in her underwear and was strapping on her bra. Angela yelped and covered her chest while Lena casually shuffled onto her couch and laid down with a sigh

"Lena what the hell are you doing"

"Oh hey Ange"

Angela quickly went to her dresser and grabbed a long t shirt "You can't just barge in here. I was changing!" She scolded

"Oh please, luv. We're good friends now. Who cares if I see your knockers"

Angela scoffed "Lena-"

"See look" Lena took off her jacket then pulled her shirt up to reveal her bra covered breasts.

Angela averted her eyes. She never did get completely used to Lena's very personal and explicit side of her personality. Even though Angela did act motherly towards Lena through her formal speech and compassionate ways of comfort, at the end of the day, they were still just friends which led Lena to act the way she does.

Angela sighed and sat down next to Lena. The Brit put her head on Angela's lap, and she began to stroke the brunette's hair, something Lena enjoyed when she was upset.

"What's wrong, liebe"

Lena sighed "It's (your name). He seems so distant all of the sudden. Like he's trying to ignore me"

Angela continued to sift through Lena's soft hair "(Your name) is a very hard worker. It's not easy to be a leader of a group like Overwatch, you know"

Lena spun around so that she laid on her back and used Angela's thighs as a pillow, looking up at her. She threw her hands in the air. "But Winston always had time for me. Why would (your name) be different?"

"...Winston was very smart, Lena. (Your name) was put on the spot and he's doing a fine job"

Lena gasped "What if he's not attracted to me anymore?!" She said completely ignoring Angela

"That's preposterous, Lena. You are beautiful"

"Beautiful. That's it!" Lena sat up and gave Angela a hug "Thanks Ange"

Angela had a confused expression. She reciprocated Lena's hug. "Umm, sure thing"

Lena stood up and blinked to the door. She gave a quick "See ya!" before closing the door behind her. Angela shook and rubbed her head at the woman. Lena was something else

Lena went to the room and quickly stripped out of her clothes and set her accelerator on the charger. She hated taking her accelerator off. Winston had assured her numerous times that it was safe to just have it near her, but she still hardly ever took it off. It made her anxious and nervous when it wasn't on her chest, so she kept it on almost always, even in the shower. But desperate times call for desperate measures. She sifted through her clothes until she found it. She pulled out a set of skimpy black lingerie and put it on in a hurry. Don't ask how she manages to get these things, she just has a knack for getting what she wants.

The underwear pushed her breasts up, enlarging them. Lena went to the mirror and stared at herself, spinning back and forth for different angles.

"Ha! I look hot!"

Now she played the waiting game. She laid on the bed, waiting for you to get back. When she heard the clicking of the door opening, she sprang up and leaned up against a wall seductively.

You entered the room, which felt like bliss, and rubbed your head. You tossed your jacket on the ground and instantly noticed Lena posted up against the doorway to the bedroom.

"Hi Lena. You look nice" You said as you walked over to her and gave her a quick kiss on the lips before continuing onto the bed and laying down with a sigh of relief.

Lena looked back towards you in anger when she saw you were on your phone. She stomped her foot on the ground "Alright that is it!" She yelled

You looked up confused, even looking behind you to make sure she was talking to you "Hmm?"

"You've been ignoring me all week even after I've tried to get your attention! I'm sick of it!"

"Lena I'm sorry I've been busy, but-"

"No! All I wanted was to spend some time with you. Bloody hell we haven't shagged in weeks, maybe months!"

You stood up and sighed. "Is that what this is about...Have a seat" she obeyed and crossed her arms in aggravation "Look Lena, I'm sorry I can't spend time with you like we used to. If we could, we'd just make love all day long without a care in the world...but we can't. I can't"

"You could atleast try!"

"Whenever I'm not working I'm resting so I can go back to work a few hours after. I want this war to be over. Don't think I like the way things are"

"But-"

"I promise when this is all over, we can go..." You shook your head trying to think of something "have a picnic outside of London, go to a fancy restaurant, usual walks in the park, whatever the hell you want. But right now, we have responsibilities"

Instead of your spiel comforting Lena, she got more mad at you and stood up right next to you, her body just grazing yours. "Where's the old (your name)?!"

"What?"

"You used to care about me every second of the day. You used to stop what you were doing just to do what I asked. I used to have your attention all the time. You used to spend all day trying to please me. You used to always have time for me...where's that (Your name)?"

Lena's face shared a mix of anger and despair. You thought back to the days when you two stayed in your apartment and you gave your all to impress and care for Lena. When you weren't worried about the future. You stared at the woman in deep thought. Then suddenly you began to chuckle.

All despair left Lena's face so that it was just anger. Her eyes narrowed when you began to laugh. "Wot!"

"You don't get it do you?" Lena became very confused with your words. You looked at her with a grin"All of this...is for you" Her eyes widened. "Lena, you're the only reason I'm here, the only reason I want to be here. If it were up to me, I'd still be at my house in (City), where it's safe, playing video games, and doing the same thing every day. But you came into my life and changed everything. I left my old life behind for you. I accepted the position as leader for you. I work so hard now for you. I want nothing more than to live out my days with you, Lena. That's why I don't have time anymore, because the faster this war is over, the faster we can get back to spending all day with each other"

Lena was stunned. She stared up at you in shock at your speech. She felt obligated to say something, but she didn't know what. She opened her mouth but no words came out

"No, don't say anything" You told her "I'm sorry I can't be with you all the time. I will try my hardest to be with you more and to put aside my work a bit...I love you Lena and I just want you to be happy"

A smile gradually formed on Lena's and her eyes began welling up with tears of joy. She rushed over to you and hugged your neck tightly and you held her by the waist.

"I love you too (your name). I'm so sorry I yelled at you, I had no idea!"

She pulled away from you and smiled at you through teary eyes. You wiped the tears away with a thumb and kissed her. She gladly accepted it and held your cheeks as you two kissed. She pushed you onto the bed and jumped on you, immediately kissing your neck.

"Ahhh Lena I can't right now, I have to go work" you joked

She straddled you and scowled, then slapped you across the face before attacking your neck again and you laughed. Before long, Lena's sexy lingerie was tossed back into the pile of clothes she had retrieved it from, marking the beginning of a late night.

Christmas

"Dashing through the snow! In a one horse open sleigh!" Lena sang excitedly as she was hanging ornaments onto the fake Christmas tree in her apartment.

You were busy untangling a bundle of lights, getting more frustrated by the second as you weren't making any progress

"Sing the rest luv"

"Hold on!" you snapped at her as you continued to fiddle with the lights.

She giggled at you. "You're so cute when you're mad. Here lemme help"

She took the lights from you then through then over you and herself, entangling the two. You just gave her a look and she giggled and hugged you

"Where's your Christmas spirit luv" You rolled your eyes and she laughed again then kissed you in the web of lights.

"This is nice and all, but how do we get out"

"Easy!" Lena exclaimed then her accelerator lit up and she disappeared for a few seconds. She reappeared right next to you untangled, then the lights fell to the floor, freeing you.

"Ta da!" She said with her arms in the air

You two continued decorating around Lena's apartment. You hung the lights around in the living room after finally getting them untangled. With a sigh of relief, you began helping Lena decorate the tree. She was humming Christmas Carols the whole. She must love this holiday because she was in such a good mood, evident by her festive Santa hat and her red and green sweater.

When you came to the end of decorating the tree, neither of you could reach the top to place the star. So Lena did the most sensical thing and jumped on your back and wouldn't let go until you put her on your shoulders. Eventually you had to give because you can never beat her in a battle of stubbornness. So while you held her on your shoulders, she put the star on top and laughed triumphantly.

You joked with her by swaying her back and forth to give off the impression she was going to fall down. She giggled and began to smack the top of your head. Eventually you did lose grip of her and she fell off your shoulders with a yelp, making a thud as she hit the hard floor. Somehow you managed to hold back your laughs and apologize. She scowled at you then punched your arm. You could only hug her and apologize again until she accepted it and hugged you back. The two of you spent the rest of the night watching Christmas movies together under the same blanket.

Days later, as Christmas soon approached, Lena's anticipation never subsided. In fact, it even increased the more she saw all the lights, snow, presents, and decorations all around King's Row. You had spent the week on vacation from working at Gibraltar, and that time was put to good use. Some relaxation and time with Lena was just what you needed.

You and her often stayed in on the colder days, snuggling up by the fireplace together. You two also went for nights out whether it be to get presents for the other agents, go grocery shopping/occasional dinners, or just to enjoy the holiday ambiance around London. Lena was endless fun around this time of year. Fun and tiring. Take her standard amount of energy and excitement on a normal day, and double it for the month of December.

From her constant Christmas Carols around the apartment to her wanting you to try on different ugly sweaters to buying more random seasonal knick knacks to just playing in the snow, she kept you busy. It was amazing, it was as if just being around the woman took years off your age. Never in a million years would you think at 26 you would have a blast playing in the snow. You two constructed a snowman in front of her apartment, wrestled in the frigid winter wonderland, and even had a snowball fight in the middle of the town. The whole time you were given odd looks as people witnessed a grown couple playing in the snow.

It was Christmas day and you two were simply staying in as snow fell heavily across London. You were just drinking hot chocolate and watching more movies on the pleasant afternoon. Lena of course was so happy evident by her excessive displays of affection. You as well as the rest of Overwatch was invited back to Gibraltar to join Winston at dinner time, which you two certainly planned to attend.

You two made an agreement not to get each other anything. As absurd as that sounds, it was reasonable because you two were normally very busy and since Overwatch wasn't funded by the UN anymore, neither of you had money. The only reason Lena had this apartment was because Winston had some connections all around the world. But of course you couldn't follow through with this agreement because you loved her so

As you two were sitting on her couch, you randomly stood up and exited Lena's apartment door. You retrieved a large decorative box with a bow on top from Lena's neighbor and thanked them for holding the gift for you. You returned to the living room where her position remained unchanged. Her eyes went wide when she noticed the present.

"Wot's this?"

"Open it up"

"(your name)! What happened to no gifts"

"You're too special to me to not get anything"

She scoffed with a smile as you handed her the box. She opened it up and first, she pulled out a teddy bear in a Santa hat that held a heart in front of it that said "I love you" in cursive.

She held it up "Awwww it's so cute!" she hugged it tightly and set it next to her

Next she pulled out a silk scarf and gasped. "I thought I saw you looking at that when we were in King's Row" you told her

"I was! I can't believe you noticed"

Her smile was brighter than the sun when she pulled out the next item. She closed her eyes and held the item to her chest. It was a framed black and white picture of a closeup of you and her kissing with the setting Gibraltar sun in the background. It was a picture Angela had taken of you two a while ago.

"Thank you so much, luv!"

"There's one more"

She reached down into the gift box and grabbed a smaller box that held the logo of an expensive jewelry store.

"I know you're not that into jewelry, but..." You said

She opened the box and it was a decorative silver bracelet lined with occasional hearts made of diamonds and the diamonds were all around. Lena immediately put it on and held her hand out to look at it

"(your name) it's beautiful!" She hugged you tightly and gave you a kiss on the cheek

"How did you afford all of this?" She asked still looking at her new bracelet

"Well not to toot my own horn, but I wasn't exactly poor before I met you" You two began to laugh

"Well where did ya find the time to get all of this"

You chuckled "Remember that one mission last month Winston wouldn't let you go on?"

"Yeeeaahh?"

"That wasn't exactly a mission" She giggled and hugged you again

Her heart skipped a beat and her eyelids jolted open as she realized you got her all of this nice stuff and she got you nothing. She quickly pulled away from the long embrace and slipped on her shoes

"Lemme go grab your present" she said nervously

"Oh you got me something too?"

"...Yeah. Be right back" She ran out the door and closed it behind her. Immediately it opened back up and she peeked her head in "Oh by the way, I kept it on the other side of town, so I might be a while" She shut the door again and blinked out of her apartment. You sat down on the couch and grabbed your hot chocolate. You smirked as you sipped on the contents of the mug She didn't get me anything you thought

Lena pushed her accelerator to the limits as she blinked through the streets of London. She went store to store in King's Row looking for something to get you. The only problem was, it's Christmas, practically every store was closed. The stores that were open held inventory that was either too cheap or too expensive. Lena didn't exactly have that much money, so there was no way she could top your gifts, which made her feel guilty.

She blinked all around, seeking all of her friends that could possibly aid her in getting a gift for you in a short amount of time. As her frantic search continued, she suddenly heard a cry for help as someone yelled that there was a thief

"Aww rubbish" Lena said to herself and she blinked to the origin of the person in distress and the family pointed out the direction the thief went in. She chased down the thief by following the footprints in the snow. Of course the criminal was no match for Lena's speed, so before long, she tackled him and took the present from him then blinked back to the family that waited in anticipation.

They expressed their gratuity greatly when Lena returned the box to them. Lena waited impatiently and tapped her foot as they continued to thank her. She somewhat rudely blinked away upon hearing Big Ben ring in Kings Row and continued her search for the perfect gift for you.

The longer Lena was gone, the more worried you got. The sun began to set she was gone so long. You began to contemplate if she did in fact get you a gift and she did store it on the other side of the city. But she was gone for a long time. It was Christmas and you were spending it alone and she was doing God knows what out in the freezing temperatures in the city.

Lena even resorted to taking the subway to a different part of the city to find a present. That turned out to be wasted time because the stores were still closed and the items were still too expensive for Lena. On her way back, she decided to just blink home because the subway was too slow for her. But of course, Lena's accelerator needed to charge halfway into her Trek, so she ended up just having to sprint back to Kings Row.

Defeated, she took bursts of sprints and in between them, she walked. Her heart rate increased as she thought about what to tell you and how she never actually got you a present. You got her a scarf she wanted, a personal picture of you two, and a diamond encrusted bracelet, and she didn't get you anything. How do you tell someone that?

She kicked the snow as she walked and sighed. She looked up and saw the moon slightly shrouded with dark, snow filled clouds. It was already late evening. Lena was freezing cold, she was glistening with sweat from all the rushing around, and Christmas was practically over now. All of it was for naught because she couldn't find you anything.

As she was wallowing in self pity, she ran into the family who she aided earlier in the day. They called to her and she approached them. The little girl in their small family held out one of their boxes to her. Initially, Lena refused saying that she could not possibly accept, but after the family's stubbornness, Lena had to take it and she thanked them greatly before returning back to her apartment.

She didn't even bother looking at the gift from the generous people until she was inside. Once there, she placed the gift on the coffee table, took off her jacket, and laid on the couch, taking a deep breath. You exited the bathroom after a shower and saw her on the couch rubbing her face.

"Lena! What the hell you've been gone all day. I've spent Christmas alone, and for what? Not to mention We have to get to Gibraltar" You scolded her

She groaned and covered her face "I'm sorry! It's just one thing after another. I didn't mean to ruin your Christmas" She said in a sorrowful and guilty manner

You then looked and saw the present on the coffee table. Son of a bitch. She actually did get me something. You pointed at the gift. "Is that for me? Is that why you were gone all day."

Lena didn't know what to say "Ummm...yeah. That's yours"

You eagerly opened the gift to see what she got you. Lena looked away because both you and her had no clue what was inside. "Oh my God, Lena" You said enthusiastically

She quickly turned her head to see what she got you "What is it? I mean, do you like it?"

You took out a black velvet sunglasses bag and pulled out the rather luxurious sunglasses from inside. "These are some expensive glasses. I love them! Thank you so much. I told you not to get me anything"

Lena laughed nervously yet relieved that the mystery box contained something good "I told you not to get me anything, yet here we are"

You laughed and then hugged her. "Come on, Winston's probably waiting for us" You said after a long embrace

Lena took a quick shower, for she was all too sweaty from her wild night out. She put on green leggings, elf shoes, an elf vest, and a green Santa hat for her trip to the Watchpoint, hoping that she'd be the star of the show this Christmas. She looked adorable. After taking off and putting the aircraft into auto pilot, Lena returned to your lap where you wrapped your arms around her and put your chin on her shoulder. You two remained there comfortably for the duration of the flight

"Lena..."

"Hmm?"

"Christmas is a peaceful time for family and friends, right?"

"Yeeeaaaah?"

"So that means when we get there, you won't get blackout drunk this time?"

Lena scoffed "What do you mean 'this time'?"

"Remember the Halloween party? Oh wait, you don't because I had to carry you back to the room"

She giggled "I've never been drunk in my entire life, luv"

"Mmmhm"

Upon your arrival, Lena excitedly pranced through the Watchpoint to get to Winston's lab for the Christmas Dinner. Winston greeted you two after you knocked on the door to the lab, looking quite surprised to say the least. After seeing the table set inside, you understood now. You two were the only ones that showed up. You felt bad because there's approximately 15 Overwatch agents, and only two arrived. The table was set for a feast to be had, but you three probably won't even put a dent into it

You shook the odd feeling off because Winston seemed very excited to see you two. You had dinner, which was delicious, and it was full of laughs and good hearted fun between just the three of you. You all told stories and talked about current events. It didn't even feel like people were absent you had such a good time. The only downside was that Lena's marvelous costume wasn't going to be adored by the rest of the team

After a long night of talking, Athena chiming in every once in awhile, you and Lena decided to just stay at Gibraltar for the night because neither of you felt like making the trek back to the apartment. You even decided to stay in Winston's lab for the night. Lena used Winston as a big pillow like she used to do way back when, and you just found a spot to begin your slumber. It didn't really matter where you slept because of how tired you were. The best part of all this is that you didn't have to take care of drunk Lena this Christmas
