#*♔. — what a bunch of misfits & freaks we got here ( verse: junkrat. )
@kalokaii / Oh gosh, it's a very special day! "Happy birthday, Jamie!" Mei cries, scurrying up to him with a tray of cupcakes in her hands. Each one is decorated like a little bomb, complete with a lit fuse and everything! She stands on her tip-toes to give her partner a big, lingering kiss on the cheek. "Look! I made some cupcakes for my cupcake!"
| | | | | Jamison’s birthday ( accepting !! )
‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒ Oh, of all the things he never would’ve expected on his birthday, this is by far the sweetest !! He marvels at the cupcakes with his amber eyes all bright & warm, sparkling like he’s never seen anything so thoughtful in all his life. Who’d think so of the ex — Junker ? Nobody but his Snowflake, that’s for certain !! But in all seriousness, he hadn’t thought that even she would go so far out of her way for somebody like him as to not only remember the day, but to bring him the most perfect little cupcakes he’s ever seen in all his life.
❝ Why, Snowflake !! This is INCREDIBLE !! You really went & made these for me ? ❞
& with a strength belying the trimness of his shape ( if not the firm muscles under that stained skin !! ), he responds by picking his precious misso right up off the ground in a tight hug, cupcake tray & all !!
❝ Cripes, what’d Oi ever do t’ deserve a girl like you ? Thank you, sweetheart, thank ya, thank ya, thank ya !! ❞

“Hey now, who said anything about dread?” She said with a hardy laugh and a slam of her fist on the planning table for the team. Junkrat and her had been up at night discussing how they could work on upcoming battle strategies.
“I’m just being realistic that bombs can’t be the only way to win. They certainly can help though! Don’t think I’m discouraging you at all Junkrat!”
❝ ‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒ Well then !! That IS a different matter, then, ain’t it ? ❞ The crashing sound of her fist brought the life back into Junkrat, perking him right up again. In spite of the circumstances that had brought him here, he wanted to be part of the team !! As long as he was Overwatch, he was Overwatch all the way !! What better way than by demonstrating his tactical skill & his loyalty both over the course of this strategy discussion ?
He felt like he was really getting on with Brigitte, though, either way ; she responded to him, made him feel valued ( like an equal !! ), & he really liked her spirit.
❝ Right then !! Maybe consider them as a way t’ cover th’ main forces’ flanks, then, yeah ? If explosives can’t lead the charge, then they can bring up the rear !! ❞

@justicepursued / cont.
Win or lose, the silence after an argument with Winston always feels hollow. Heavy limbs settle awkwardly in the ratty swivel-chair, slightly slouched back casting a shadow over the office desk. Fuck it: face, meet palms. It’s the afternoon, she could call out early. A map of Gibraltar unfurls photograph-perfect in her mind. Here is the Watchpoint, there is her hotel. And the off-licence is—
That old impulse rises to the forefront of her conscience, seizing frayed nerves with a violent force. She ought to feel sick to her cramped stomach. Angela’s patients deserve a better doctor, a good doctor, one whose hypocrisy has been pardoned through rigorous abstension.
The squeak of door hinges pulls her out of another would-be bout of brooding. Jamison’s gaunt form hangs on her attention awkwardly, Angela’s head spinning from the serendipity. Here is their man of the hour, the very subject of her argument with Winston. Her mouth opens, closes, tongue working to shape words in a language they mutually understand. But Junkrat speaks first, something clearly on his mind.
Ah.
❝ We can, ❞ Angela tentatively answers, the ‘how’ still stubbornly eluding her clever mind, ❝ I appreciate that you want to talk. ❞
A long, torturous silence ensues. Perhaps it’s fortunate that her spine can no longer bend so far, because Angela is sure she would have slammed her forehead into the cracked mahogany desk. It’s hardly Jamison’s fault. He is learning, and she is a ruin altogether different than the aftermath his explosives leave behind.
❝ You… ❞ she waves her hand, its silvery sheen reflective in the wan light, ❝ How are you enjoying your stay in Gibraltar? I heard the Botanic Gardens are nice. ❞
Jamison’s upper limb prosthetic is fashioned to his right arm, the amputation starting just below the elbow joint. They had both played with fire and paid the price, but her patient leapt back in, still hungry for more. Yet Overwatch has nonetheless seen fit to indulge him. Angela winces, blue eyes flitting up to meet his gaze. Any more reflection on their mirror image and the guilt would drive her into the arms of the off-licence with a quickness.
The icebreaker is most definitely appreciated. Small thing, but he’s feeling a little bit better approaching her at least. It isn’t like Jamison to feel so hesitant on talking to anybody, but he knows he’s not anybody’s favourite since he wound up getting brought onto the team. Probably wasn’t a real popular choice hiring him & Roadie on, even if there is another bloke about who’d joined under what he’s come to understand were pretty similar circumstances.
Same bloke as caught the pair, actually. Jamison doesn’t hold it against him. He’d be a hypocrite if he did, & the last thing he’d ever like to fancy himself as is a hypocrite ( killer, thief, terrorist, brawler, & all that other stuff, but not a hypocrite ). Anyway, the lifestyle of wheeling wild around the world doing whatever pleased them always did have a time limit attached. Like a timebomb where you can’t see the timer. Eventually it was all gonna blow up & they were gonna go out in a blaze of glory.
He wouldn’t have ever predicted this outcome, but the hard fact is, any outcome but dying young was gonna be a surprise, even before he met Roadie. You don’t live long in the Outback. You just don’t. But here he is anyway.
Hence why he’s trying so hard to behave himself. If he’s a good boy, he gets to blow things up for the good guys, plus he might actually live past 30 !! Much as he tried to resist things going in, it’s not a bad deal. Very much the opposite. He’d be lying to say he doesn’t appreciate the shot. Oh, no, he wants to do everything in his power to pay them back in kind. It’s everything he could have asked for & then some. He’s been wanting to go legit for a while, even if he ain’t all that good at it. Childish & explosive as he is.
It’s a learning curve, that’s for sure.
❝ Oh, yeah, definitely. They’re just gorgeous. Never seen anythin’ like it in me life. ❞ Small talk is hard. He feels, if anything, even more awkward trying to reciprocate. He really has to remind himself that he has to put in an effort, because otherwise he’s failing her & himself. He gets caught up in that effort & carries on, ❝ I mean, I’m pretty travelled, yanno ?? Been all over, hah. But uh, yeah, I hadn’t ever been to Gibraltar before. It’s real nice. Real peaceful. A nice sort of peaceful. ❞

@savedgames / 「 Jamie! I heard it was your birthday! 생일 축하해, 친구! 」 It had taken Hana some time to determine a suitable gift, and she eventually opted to give him a brand new tool-kit, with the handles of each tool lovingly painted to match his signature aesthetic.
| | | | | Jamison’s birthday ( accepting !! )
‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒ Well if that don’t beat all !! Jamison’s absolutely floored by this gift, clapping his hands in DELIGHT as though he can’t possibly hold it all in. Of course, he is a very physical person in the first place, & when it comes to such an unexpected kindness, it bubbles up & out of him like a soft drink shaken up !!
❝ Oh, Hana, Pineapple, this is amazing !! Oh, these are beautiful, these are !! Didja paint them yourself ? Oi won’t ever use another set again, these are gonna be my go — tos FOR LIFE !! Thank you !! ❞ He’s moving his organic hand over them, as though he needs to feel them to really get a proper sense for them, & picking up one to examine the thoughtful paintjob & the beautiful gleam of brand new tools, sparkling metal that’s never seen rust or grease or use at all.
How dear is his companion, first friend he ever made in Overwatch & still being way too good to the likes of him !! Why, he’s gotta throw his arm around her & smooch her cheek for that, lips & nose pressing hard into soft skin to almost comical effect.

@kalokaii sent ❛ make me feel from mei to her stinky bf whom she loves with all her heart ❜ for a randomly generated starter !!
𝟸𝟿. 𝚖𝚢 𝚖𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚋𝚞𝚢𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚖𝚞𝚜𝚎’𝚜 𝚏𝚊𝚟𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚘𝚍
❝ ‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒ Oi, Oi, Snowflake !! C’mon, you need a break, Oi know ya do, & I got just th’ thing for ya, too. ❞ Constant motion, Jamison does not hold still even while he’s addressing her, instead sweeping up & resting both his hands on her chair, first on one of the armrests, & then with a hop behind her it’s on to the other. He’s beaming, of course, with his dirty nose scrunched up & his teeth showing.
He takes his hands off the armrest to reach into the bag slung over his shoulder, & from it he pulls out, with surprising care, a plastic container of takeout food. This he shows to his girlfriend with a flourish, holding it out & actually saying, ❝ Ta — da !! ❞
There is no end to his pride in having procured this precious food.
❝ So ? So ? It’s ya favourite grub !! Oi pay attention t’ these things, yanno, ❞ Jamison adds, puffing out his scrawny chest. ❝ That’s worth a break then, ain’t it ? ❞
