Fluff!!
Gabe has been wanting to propose to his s/o for months but he’s been so scared. On the night he gets back from a mission, he and his partner have a romantic dinner on a cliff at Gibraltar.
“Gabe when are you coming home?” You spoke through the satellite phone mic.
Your voice echoed with the clicking of your shoes on the hard concrete of the Gibraltar bases floors. A cool breeze flowed through the hangar room as you made your way back to the residence section of the watchpoint.
“It’s a surprise, darling.” He rasped through the other satellite phone.
You groaned and slid the door closed in your apartment style room.
“The sky is beautiful tonight though, so how about you go outside on our cliff and look at the stars for me. I wish I could be with you watching them, mi amor.” He nearly whispered through his phone.
“I just got back to our room! I’ll do it though. For you.” You groaned into the phone.
Sometimes your boyfriend, regardless of how menacing and fearsome he was, was a sappy lovebird at heart. You once caught him watching Hallmark movies and crying.
You hung up on Gabe, not before a swift “I love you, be safe, come home in one piece.”
The walk to the cliff was short and sweet- weapons suppliers and even some Overwatch agents walked by. You were on this base for two reasons. Firstly, you had a long term with an agent. This was a newly introduced plan because of the remote location of the Watchpoint. Even if that weren’t the reason, you were still a receptionist of sorts- handling communication between Overwatch, Blackwatch, and other world safety organizations. You had one of the most important and overlooked jobs in Overwatch.
The sky was pretty. You hummed some song that Gabe loved and made your way up the last hill. A soft glow came from the cliff as the billions of stars twinkled above.
You gasped- Gabe was standing by a romantic looking dinner table. Candles were aflame and wine was being chilled in a small bucket. He wore that grey suit that never failed to drive you crazy.
Of course you felt severely underdressed, having changed into jogging pants and a flannel top before going to the cliff.
Your breath caught in your throat as your boyfriend held his arm out and kissed your hand.
The dinner was delicious. Reyes had always been a secretly amazing cook but you never expected this. After a million questions about his mission, when he actually got back, and how he pulled this off, your mind ceased it’s on-going marathon and you stared into Gabe’s eyes.
“Mi amor, you know I love you more than anything. You know I would take a bullet for you. I do many things and feel many things for you. I need you to do something for me.” He seemed so serious. You almost got a little mad at him for making you feel indebted to him.
But after he slid out of the seat onto one knee, you knew any anger in your body was immediately replaced by pure joy.
“Will you do something for me, and make me the happiest man alive?” He smiled through teary eyes.
“Yes, yes, yes! More than a million times yes. Infinity times yes.” You giggled, staring at the beautiful ring.
Gabe chuckled and pulled you in for the most passionate kiss you had ever shared.
You pretended not to hear the clicking of cameras and a light murmur coming from the not-so-hidden group of Overwatch agents. A flash of a brown pixie cut and sharp giggle made you smile even further into the kiss.
This is home.
