Loâ, some happy and pleasant McReaper headcannons.
McCree is not as adept at hand-to-hand as compared to his weapons proficiency. He can do close range, but is better with some sort of gun in his hand. Whatever it may be, pistol or sawed off shotgun, even crossbows. He CAN fight, decently even, but Reyes or any other combat trained Blackwatch recruit can take McCree down. Thereâs a saying in Blackwatch about McCree:Â âIf heâs got a gun, run. If not, go for his knees.â
As such, Reyes and McCree spar in their free time. It stopped being hot when Reyes ruined McCreeâs shoulder on multiple occasions and bruised his face purple. Reyes is quite gentle after these sessions. Teasing, but his touches are much lighter and considerate.
McCree had something of a nasty, unrequited crush for the longest time. Reyes did not acknowledge this until McCree became older. Something about a coltish, hotheaded punk kid did not attract Reyes.
On that same note: McCree asked what about him changed to make Reyes like him âspecialâ (his words exactly). Well, for one, Reyes had explained, McCree was nothinâ but a kid, and Reyes was too busy trying to make sure McCree didnât get himself killed to consider any puppy love. And two, McCree had matured. Not only was it a man that Reyes was seeing today, but one with a clear head.
âYou always looked so desperate and misplaced, Jesse. I wanted you settled right more than anything. Youâre a new man, and that is what Iâm attracted to.â
Reyes is wonderfully smitten with McCree, and in some ways its rather apparent.
Out of anyone in Blackwatch and Overwatch alike, McCree is the one Reyes smiles most around. Part of it is McCreeâs shitty humor**, but a good deal of it is simply because Reyes enjoys and is comfortable with McCree.
**(What Reyes finds funny about it is anyoneâs guess; McCreeâs humor is crass and blunt as hell, but oddly lighthearted, and everyone had always taken Reyes to not even laugh. But no, recruits have the newfound right of witnessing Reyes burst out laughing from something dumb that McCree said. Nobody can figure out the joke; at that point Reyes has shoved McCree away and told him to fuck off.)
While Reyesâs soft spot for McCree is apparent to most, Reyes is shit at romance. Heâs more of a âIâll shove him, THAT will show I like him, ha! Yes, perfect.â He has the charm of a rock.
McCree, conversely, is near nauseating with his affection. Reyes nearly chewed his head off when McCree first tried out his dumb petnames, but âsugarâ stuck. Sometimes, when Reyes is really tired, he might call McCree âpuppydog,â but thatâs only happened once or twice and McCree is too unconvinced it even really happened to bring it up.
Reyes deeply enjoys imported cigars, which is where McCree picked up the habit.
Reyes and McCree mutually love each other. It is incredibly apparent as time goes on.
