(UNDER EDIT)

Today was the day! Your once in a year special day had finally come.

Your eyes flutter open, a soft glow of warm sunshine peeking through the curtains of the otherwise dark room. Outside birds chirped, and bugs buzzed making the scene seem so blissfully perfect.

Everything was just right, until you noticed the absence of a certain someone next to you.

Reaper, your boyfriend, had been acting so aloof for days now, leaving the house early and unannounced, and returning late at night. The short times that you did get to see him, he gave you little to no attention.

The thought had crossed your mind (though you tried to ignore it) thinking that maybe Reaper was cheating on you. Maybe the mysterious man was just not as committed to you as you had though, the two of you had been together for a while now, but maybe Reaper was finally tired of you.

Quickly you shake your head, not wanting depressing thoughts like those to ruin your special day. You pull yourself out of bed and trek to the kitchen where you prepared breakfast for yourself.

Throughout the day the other members of Overwatch showered you with attention and presents for your birthday, even Soldier 76 let you get out of a few extra hard training drills that he would've us ally forced you to do.

But despite everyone's cheery moods and all the attention you couldn't help but feel a bit dejected.

Reaper was nowhere to be seen, not by you, or any of the other Overwatch members.

The day passed slowly, each moment you found your mood dampening, wondering why your boyfriend wasn't here with you.

So the day came and went, with you now curled on the couch, wrapped in a fuzzy red blanket and staring at the small picture frame inside.

In the frame was a picture of you and Reaper together. Your face smiling, pink dusting your cheeks while Reaper seemed preoccupied and staring at something distant and away from the camera.

A smile grazed your lips remembering all the convincing you had done to get Reaper to even be in a picture with you, but your nostalgia was quickly eaten away by your growing sadness.

Reaper was such a lost man who had always even alone, and you had hoped that when you two started dating and after that you could be the person to stay by the man's side. That no matter how alone Reaper was, that you could be with him. The two of you.

Alone together.

But with your lover's recent attitude you wondered if that was still what Reaper wanted. Maybe all along you had convinced yourself that Reaper wanted you, when i truth the man had no interest in you at-

Your thoughts were stopped by the sound of the door opening and closing followed by heavy gear being thrown to the floor.

Reaper walked into the room, casting a quick glance at you before escaping into the kitchen.

'THAT'S IT!!' You thought, throwing the blanket of of you and storming into the kitchen.

"Whats your problem!?" You shout, glaring at the hooded man. Reaper didn't respond, ignoring you and only fueling your rage further. "Look, if you're done with me you can just say it!! But stop doing this to me!" You snap, feeling your anger turning to sadness, the crack in your voice was obvious.

Still trying to appear mad you turn your back to Reaper, sniffling slightly before pouting.

A long while passed where you waited, anticipated for Reaper to talk. To say something. Anything. His silence was killing you.

Suddenly you felt cool arms snake around your waist, pulling you into an embrace. Reaper rested his chin on your shoulder.

"I must really be a bad guy...." Reaper mumbled, his voice sounding almost regretful. You rest your hands on his strong arms, attempting to look at Reaper. The Blackwatch captain didn't speak for what seemed like forever, as if he were carefully planning out his next words. Reaper finally took in a deep breath before speaking again, "I must really be a bad man to make such a sweet person like you cry on their birthday huh?" Reaper let out a sad chuckle, squeezing his arms tighter around you.

You felt tears welling in your eyes, unable to move in Reaper's grip you squeeze his arms gently.

"I was going to surprise you... But-"
He trailed off.

"No present you could get me would ever be better than you being here with me." You say, wiggling around to face the man, lifting his mask up ever so slightly as to reveal his lips and cheeks dusted with a pink blush.

"I love you (y/n)..." Reaper mumbled, blushing darkly. Reaper had never been one for openly expressing feelings.

You peck his lips, and smile, "I love you to Reaper!"

A/N: this sucked!!!! I'm gonna go back and edit it but please forgive me until then!! requested by my friend CrystalScales3183  ~! Sorry this one is pretty short.... And I'm not sure if it's what you wanted... But I tried. Anyway, I'm thinking about doing an "ask/dare Overwatch" book, what do you guys think?
