Prompt from Ryan: If we all like roadrat here, maybe we could do some contrast ship thing, a fun date night maybe? Like letting a ship always portrayed as down to earth be crazy with each other and then have some wholesome roadrat.

Sitting on top of one of the poorly made structures in the middle of the forest, Genji hummed, paintball gun following his target.

Zenyatta wasn't going to have a clue what hit him.

Remembering his days of learning how to fire a gun in Blackwatch (just in case of an emergency), he finalised his aim and fired.

The resulting exclamation of alarm made him cackle in glee.

"Genji!"

"It was a fair shot my love!"

Zenyatta twisted in the air, trying to see the large paint stain on his aft. "Genji, I really don't see how this is fair. You trained to be a warrior, and I am a monk at heart."

"I've seen you with your discord balls Master…. Reaper didn't know what hit him last time."

The words had hardly left his mouth when one of the discord balls he'd been referring to, suddenly shot straight at him, causing him to fall to the ground.

"Is this really your perfect idea of a date Genji?" Zenyatta was now floating over him, his voice clearly amused by the sight of his boyfriend lying in a heap on the ground.

"What?" Genji panted, heart beating a little faster despite the fact that his suit softened the majority of the fall, "You're having fun aren't you?"

Whilst Zenyatta didn't have any facial features, the little chuckle that burst free, indicated that he was. "I'll give you a head start Genji…. I'll count to fifty."

Genji sat there in shock.

"One."

"Wait, wait, wait! A head start for what?"

"Two."

"I'm going! I'm going!"

….

Meanwhile, in a little café near the paintball arena, another couple were having a date of their own.

Mako and Jamie were sitting next to the large window that was next to the path leading up to the paintball arena, allowing them to watch people passing them by. It was a warm day, so they both decided to get some sundaes.

They were lucky to get some seats really. With it being such a warm day, the café was packed.

Poking at his vanilla ice cream with the spoon that looked tiny in his hands, Mako couldn't help but smile gently as Jamie hummed happily, mechanical fingers tapping out an unknown tune on the desk.

"How have your lessons been going with Ana?" he asked.

With how limited education was in the irradiated outbacks, Jamie had only ever really learned the basics of English, science and maths. Yes, he was a genius when it came to engineering building stuff, but some basic knowledge had passed him by.

Jamie shrugged, scoping up his chocolate ice cream and shoving it into his mouth. "She keeps giving me tests!" he mumbled through the ice cream, tiny drops of chocolate dropping onto the table.

"You would have hated school before the Crisis. They gave you tests all the time. And projects."

"I like the projects though! I get to make posters, colourful and bright posters!"

Mako couldn't help but chuckle at that, eating another spoonful of his own ice cream, before pointing the spoon at his younger partner, almost in an accusatory manner, despite the teasing grin on his face. "I wondered why there were so many felt tip pens all over our room."

"… Sorry."

Mako had always regretted Jamie not getting the life he deserved. He bet that if the world had just gone on, with no omnics and no crisis, then Jamie would have graduated from Uni now, probably as a fully qualified engineering genius.

They'd had that conversation before, and Jamie's response had been quick and slightly angry.

He never regretted meeting Mako, and if it weren't for everything that happened, they probably would never have met, and that was unacceptable to Jamie. He'd told Mako, that the day they met was 'the best day of his life'.

"Hey." Mako suddenly spoke up.

Jamie was back to humming, and didn't seem to hear him, poking at his sundae again.

"Jamie… you've got a little something on your lip. Let me get it for you."

Before Jamie could do anything, Mako leaned forwards, the table creaking slightly under the weight as he licked the chocolate off of the younger man's lips, making him blush fifty shades of red.

"I-I- " Jamie stuttered, touching the place where his boyfriend licked him.

Mako chuckled, "Adorable."

Scowling, Jamie slapped the other man on the arm as Mako laughed.

And then they saw Genji racing past the window, dodging the orbs of discord as Zenyatta followed him, both laughing in glee.

"Some couples are weird." Jamie muttered.

"Yep."
