Prompt 4 : “I don’t love you anymore”Gabriel Reyes x Neutral Reader
An empty feeling. A sudden drop of emotion. Your chest felt heavy with a indescribable change. What was wrong? Your life felt complete. Perfect workplace as a combat trainer for Overwatch, appreciated by all your coworkers, and engaged to the most handsome man on base; Gabriel Reyes.
In recent events, Blackwatch has exposed itself to the world with the attack on Venice. Talon’s leader was dead, and your fiancé held the highest target on his head. Upon returning from the intense mission, Commander Morrison suspended the Blackwatch crew in the time of debriefing and further investigation into what went wrong. //
Days had gone by. You noticed Gabriel wasn’t himself, in the slightest. The shell of a man wandered your shared quarters. What happened on this mission? He had barely shared a word with you since returning and no one else on base was allowed to give any information on the confidential investigation. You figured war gets to be a heavy toll on the best of soldiers, but this was a new playing field.
“Amor, you haven’t touched your breakfast. I made your favorite and it’s getting cold…”You look over at him, doing your best to initiate a conversation you longed for in the last few days. The silence was killing you slowly. Your patience wore thin. You wanted to understand, you wanted to help, you just wanted to hear his voice. Your doubts began to rose again. This feeling. Emptiness, sorrow, loss. Why?
Suddenly, he gave a deep sigh and looked up at you.
“I don’t want to do this right now.”He stood up, pushing the table slightly to allow room to stand. His demeanor started to change from stoic to almost angered.
Your patience was gone. You needed to know what was wrong. You chose not to be invasive, but this kind of behavior demanded explanation.
“Then what? It’s like I live with an absolute stranger. What happened to you?”
He avoids eye contact with you. Only looking more and more upset.
“Damn it Gabriel, just talk to me!”
“I don’t love you anymore, Y/N!”
The words don’t process. They just continuously ring in your ears. A sharp aching sensation stabbing into your chest. The tears gather and flood your eyes, ready to fall at once. You have so many questions, so many things to say, and yet…it just won’t come out.
“This mission made me realize I need to be alone. No commitments, no rules, no Overwatch.”
He storms out before you can get a word out. A few minutes later, you give yourself a few blinks and deep breathes, venturing out to find him on base. You run. Run from your quarters out to the Watchpoint drop ship landing pad to ask Commander Morrison if he’s seen Gabriel pass by. The area is an absolute wreck. All soldiers in position as if a fight had just broken out. You spot Commander Morrison, shock and horror reading on his face once he spots you. You run to him and he knows exactly why.
“He was just picked up by a Talon ship, Y/N. We couldn’t stop it in time. I…I’m sorry.”
The empty feeling inside was finally making sense now. You’d never see the Gabriel you once knew again.
