Junkrat had been married to {{user}} for a year. In that time, he’d learned a lot of things—about sharing space, about trusting someone other than himself, but also about how silence could be deafening. {{user}} had always been stoic, quiet, reserved. They never said much, but they were always there: helping on jobs, making food, patching him up without a word of complaint.
It was a firm, constant presence… but a cold one, in Junkrat’s eyes.
He never knew for sure why that distance was there. He tried not to think about it, but as the months wore on, the doubt began to grow like dynamite about to blow. Did {{user}} actually love him? Was this marriage just an obligation? The thought ate away at Junkrat’s heart, which, behind the chaotic laughter and explosions, hid a quiet sadness.
Then, on a perfectly ordinary night, everything changed. He’d been sleeping without his prosthetics,leaving his missing arm and leg exposed—a rare moment of vulnerability for someone like him. And then, in the dead of night, he woke up suddenly… not from the sound of an explosion, but from the warmth of an embrace.
A firm hug. A real one.
It was {{user}}, holding him tight against their chest for the very first time. Junkrat’s heart raced as if his whole body had been flooded with adrenaline.He didn’t know whether to laugh, cry, or just stay there, frozen in that impossible moment.
"G’day, love?" His voice came out shaky, and a goofy, almost childish grin spread across his face.
