War will define oneself. That statement holds true to anybody who has participated in war. War can bring out ones true nature. It exposes the real person that your fighting and the real person that you are allied with. But with knowing the nature of that person or yourself, will you continue to fight or will you surrender?
It was mroning time as Pharah began to stir awake. She had little recollection of what happened last night. She does remember some details but it's all a blur to her. Her and Solider were still on room arrest and were still unable to participate in any operations so she decided to keep sleeping with the warm comforts of her firm pillow. She couldn't wait to return to the beautiful state of slumber. But that will never come due to a minor distraction.
*Thump thump* *Thump thump*
That sound. A sound that Pharah wasn't too familiar with but still reacted with caution. She knew her pillow was incapable of making sounds. She carefully grazed her hand over whatever she was sleeping and was met with muscular flesh.
She stood there in silence.
It didn't take long to figure out whose flesh this belongs too. She quickly looked up to assure her suspicions and found a sleeping Solider.
She began to panic with alarming questions racing through her mind.
"What's happening!?"
"Why am I in the same bed as him!?"
"Why is he so firm!?"
"Why am I thinking that!?"
She tried to piece together why they were sleeping in the same bed while silently getting up without disturbing him. Her face was a complete shade of red. Never has she thought that this could actually happen.
"Whatever happened last night, I hope nonthing serious followed."
After a few seconds of getting up, her head started to throb. The awaited hangover finally began as she searched through her nightstand for some aspirin. The amount of shuffling finally awoken the other sleeping warrior.
"GOOD MORNING SOFTIE!" He said in his usual tone that startled Pharah. She almost assumed combat position until realizing it was just her roommate.
"Morning to you too. And please don't do that again. My head is killing me right now so can you keep it down just a bit." She said as she continued to rummage through her drawers to find the remedy to ease her headache. But instead she found a stack of photos. Pharah started to remember some bits of last night.
She picked it up and looked closely at the four photos of them together.
She stared at her and Solider in the photos, it's rare to actually see herself smile and enjoy herself.
"I actually look like I'm happy to be there." She kept staring at the last picture with the two of them.
She had her arms wrapped around his neck with their cheeks touching. Without context, it looks like your average couple taking pictures together but she was sure she just played along with theme. Nonthing more, nonthing less.
"It was probably a prompt I saw and I decided to play along."
Her throbbing headache was a sign that she should stop getting sidetracked and continue to look for the medication. After a few seconds of searching, she finally found it. She went to the bathroom to get a glass of water and came back to find solider messing around with a sapphire bracelet. She started their rountine of taunting each other.
"HA! So you do wear jewelry when no one's watching. I knew you weren't all that tough. Atleast it looks good on you though." She taunted.
"ACTUALLY, THIS BRACELET BELONGS TOO YOU SOFTIE." He said as he handed the dazzling jewelry too her. She was shocked, how was she able to obtain such a fine piece of jewelry. She had no time for trinkets, let alone a bracelet.
"Wha-How do you know that? I'm pretty sure your just saying that." She asked with curiosity.
"I KNOW BECAUSE I WON IT FOR YOU... WELL TECHNICALLY SPEAKING BUT STILL WON! SO PLEASE TAKE WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY YOURS." He said as she took the bracelet. The only jewelry solider would even consider is his medals.
Pharah was trying so hard not to show any fluster. To think that this hard-headed moron was able to get her this fine prize. Her heart started to flutter a little. Then a realization hit her. A horrifying one.
"So you remember what happened last night? Including the things I've did?" She asked.
"AFFIRMATIVE GOODY-GOODY! UNLIKE YOU, I CAN HOLD MY LIQUOR VERY WELL. MY BODY SUFFERS BUT MY MIND STILL KEEPS INTACT." He responded with the usual bravado.
Pharah was curious about what happened after their drinking challenge. Everything else after that is drawing a blank from the warrior.
"Well can you tell me what happened after we both got drunk? I hope that I didn't do anything stupid or embarrassing." She asked. Pharah was known to have more self control than that but when she's around Solider her whole demeanor just changes. Her trying to one up him resulted in her intoxication.
"WELL AFTER I CLEARLY WON THE CHALLENGE, A PRETTY LADY WAS TRYING TO ENGAGE ME IN CONVERSATION AND POSSIBLY TAKE ME HOME-"
"Oh so a lady was flirting with you. You probably took her home to have some fun and came right back here right? She must've been a real knock out." She said with a little bit of venom. The reason behind this statement was suppose to be for the welfare of her roommate but the real reason was her envious nature. Solider talking to another women like that didn't sit well with her.
"NEGATIVE, YOU INTERUPTED OUR CHAT BEFORE SHE COULD MAKE ANY MORE ADVANCES." Solider corrected.
"And how exactly did I do that? I must have warned her off or tell her that we were together in a date perhaps."
"YES, BUT THE LADY WAS VERY PERSISTENT SO IN A FINAL ACT, YOU KISSED ME. AFTER THAT, YOU PASSED OUT AND I CARRIED YOU ALL THE WAY TO BASE. THEN YOU PROCEEDED TO BOTHER ME UNTIL YOU FELL ASLEEP SO I MADE ROOM ON MY BED SO YOU COULD FALL ASLEEP FASTER." Pharah froze. The dreaded action that never crossed her mind had finally came to light. Pharah knew that once she is intoxicated, she always performs some action that she was not even in control. She had no choice but to apologize.
"Solider, I would like to apologize for my actions last night. I know I tend to be upset with you for actions that I also do sometimes and I'm also sorry for such hypocritical behavior. My actions were uncalled for and I hope we can still be partners after this."
"ITS FINE. LAST NIGHT WAS ACTUALLY NOT BORING. IT WAS ACTUALLY A PRETTY GOOD...UM"
"Date." She finished for him.
"YEAH, ALSO I WOULDNT MIND GOING ON ANOTHER WITH YOU CUPCAKE." Solider couldn't help but to tease as he finished that last statement.That statement really had an effect on Pharah. She couldn't help but to smile a little bit after that confirmation. She looked at sapphire bracelet he got her with such happiness.
"I might take you up on the offer honey." She said not missing a beat with their name calling. They both stood their in silence realizing that breakfast was being served. Both of their stomachs began to growl.
"I hope that this room arrest doesn't take very long." She said.
"AGAIN AS MUCH AS I HATE IT, IAGREE WITH YOU." Solider said. They both were wondering who was gonna be responsible for their food this time.
In the hallway
"I can't believe they got me on delivery duty! ME!?! I'm the most important guy here and they got me as a delivery boy?! Un-friggin-believable."
"Oh, stop your jabbering love! Think about the opportunity we have. We can effectively spy on them and figure out if they're together or not. Look on the bright side of our situation."
"Trace. I ain't the sharpest on the cutting block but we are absolutely horrible with being sneaky, especially you. 'Sides I know I can be way more sneakier than you can."
"Oh really? Is that another bet your willing to lose? Your still on dish duty after this is done buddy. And the special is chocolate chip muffins today."
The two runners were the ones responsible for delivering the breakfast to their soliders for today. Tracer found this time as a window of opportunity to finally find out what's been up with their two teammates while Scout said to just leave it to someone who could actually get something done. Tracer noticed his lack of the "I'm better than you." personality and questioned it.
"Oi! What's got you acting all careful and slow? Who are you and what have you done with my Scout!" Tracer knew something was up with him. He usually likes taking chances and proving himself.
"Nunthins wrong trace. I'm the same person I've always been. Maybe your the one that's changed. Neva thought bout that huh" Scout quickly replied. Tracer then thought back to the spar the other day and how he almost won. She quickly put everything together.
"Your still upset about losing to me aren't you?" She said with a smirk. Scout was caught but he quickly denied it.
"Naw, even though it was complete crap I lost cause of your teleporter thingy. I would've had you if I was just a bit more careful. And... Fine, you got me. I still pretty pissed that I lost to you" He revealed. Tracer knew exactly what to say from here. She didn't like see him down and out like this.
"Scout, one of the reason I consider you a buddy is because your not careful. You don't have to be unlike me along with fact that your agility and speed is natural while I rely on this bloody thing." She pointed toward her chrono-accelerator. "Besides I hate to see you just mope around so we can always have a rematch if you want." Tracer stated that actually made Scout feel a bit better.
"Gee thanks trace. I never woulda th-"
"So I completely wipe the floor with you!" She challenged. If there was one thing scout liked about her was the eagerness for a challenge. Tracer knew challenging him would lift him out of this funk.
"Oh your gonna regret those words. I won't take it easy on ya next time Lena!"
"Well lets hope you can keep up next time Jeremy!" After the challenge has been established, they quickly made their way towards the Soliders room.
*knock knock*
"WHOS THERE?"
"Boo."
"BOO WHO?"
"I knew ya where a crybaby solider!" Scout then laughed at his own joke with tracer trying to contain her's. The door quickly opened to reveal solider in his sleeping wear.
"Here's your meals loves." She handed the trays over. "So how's room arrest? It must be awfully dull in there."
"Yea no kidding! I remember when I had to go through that and I almost wasted myself. I hope you two can pull through." Scout added.
"WE ARE DOING FINE. BESIDES WE ACTUALLY WE-" Solider was interupted with a hand to his mouth from Pharah.
"We were playing a game of truth and dare to relieve the boredom. However he didn't want any secrets to be revealed so we just stopped playing, right Solider?" Pharah said emphasizing some words. Solider was able to catch on after a few seconds. He nodded his head "Yes" as she still had a firm hold.
Tracer looked at Pharah's hand that was preoccupied with Solider's mouth. What grabbed her attention was the blue sparkle coming from her bracelet.
"Never thought that you would fancy jewelry Pharah." This shocked Pharah, she completely forgot that she was still wearing it. The solider quickly retracted her hand back to her side.
"It's not bad by any means! It really suits you but I never expected you to actually wear some. Blue really compliments you after all." Tracer corrected herself. Pharah calmed down since she realized that tracer wasn't suspicious of the bracelet in that way.
"Yea, it looks pretty cool, but where did ya get it? You guys on room arrest or something so you couldn't have just waltz out of here, right?" Scout made a good point.
"That's true. Jewelry wouldn't just be lying around in base so did you happen to go somewhere yesterday?" Tracer added. Pharah kept herself calm and composed. She could let them know anything about last night. She had to throw them off the trail.
"This? This bracelet was actually gifted to me from a friend yesterday so I was escorted to pick it up from the mail in our base. Lovely, isn't it?" Pharah said while looking at her new bracelet.
"Absolutely lovely." She thought as she stole a glance from solider. She was still suprised to think that he actually got her something. She has to think of a way to repay him.
As she was finishing her explanation, Scout got to work and quickly peered through their room. Since Pharah was distracted with tracer and Solider was just standing there, he decided to do a little recon.His job as a Scout meant having great eyesight that can look over long distances. He scanned the room to find photos from a photo booth. He concluded that from the formation, it was taken at the fair. He only had enough time to look at one photo before they found themselves being shoo'd off. The photo he saw contained crucial info on what they needed. He tried his best to hide his signature smirk.
"So that's what you guys been up too." He thought
"Well thank you for dropping off our breakfast. It was a pleasure speaking with the both of you." Pharah said along with a nodding Solider.
"YES. NOW GO OUT THERE AND MAKE AMERICA PROUD, ESPECIALLY YOU STRING BEAN!" He pointed to Scout.
"Yea ight. Calm down Uncle Sam." Scout mocked as he and Tracer left the warriors to their punishment. Tracer was a bit upset to not get anything useful from this delivery.
"Bollocks! We were so close but didn't get jack!" Tracer complained as they walked down the hall. Scout finally showed off his signature smirk.
"Actually, you didn't get anything."
"What are you talking about?"
"Let's just say that my eyes ain't just for show. I got the best eyesight out of my whole team. These baby's got range on em. So I looked inside and found something huge!" He gloated.
"Well aren't you gonna tell me what you saw." She pleaded.
"Naw but I can tell you what I see right now and that's my number two right?" He snarkly replied. Tracer knew where this is going. She didn't have time for this so she got it out of the way as quickly as possible."
"Fine. Your a winner at everything. Your faster than me. You are also the most awesome person in this base. Your better than me Scout." She finished with no hesitation. Scout grumbled.
"Wow, not even a smidge of resistance? Your no fun but I'll tell ya what I saw." He said with Tracer getting closer to not miss a thing. They usually don't get this close to each other so this had Scout a little nervous but he hid it extremely well.
"The photo I saw was of those two cuddling together real close and the kicker here is that she had that jewelry on her during the photo along with the fact that it was taking at the fair. But the two of them are still in timeout." He revealed. Tracer quickly put everything together.
"But she said that she got it as a gift yesterday. So she-"
"Lied straight to our faces to cover the fact that they-"
"Are dating?!? I'm happy that they finally found someone but angry that they're keeping it a secret!" She finished. This got a laugh from Scout.
"Your kidding right? That guy Solider on a date?!? I think they just snuck out just for the hell of it if you ask me." He shared his own conclusion.
"Well what are we waiting for?! A meeting is an order with this new information!" She quickly grabbed Scouts hand and dragged them towards the technician's room.
In the supports room
The six operatives each exchanged greetings and gathered together to share what they know. The Six present were Engineer, Symmetra, Medic, Mercy, Tracer and Scout.
"I reckon you called us here for a good reason Tracer?" Engineer began.
"Of course! Everytime I gather you guys up it's for a good reason." Everyone mumble in disagreement.
"You guys are bullies!" Tracer pouted.
"If I may ask, did any of you find out anything about the two soliders? There is but so much they can do since they are on lockdown." Symmetra asked.
"Yes!"
"Hell yea!"
"Of course!"
"Ja!"
The two runners and medics both exclaimed loudly in agreement. Engineer and symmetra were shocked that everyone was able to progress this quickly. But they were distracted by their time together. They both exchanged a smile. Let's just say that they don't regret what they were doing in the slightest.
"How bout we let our docs talk first. They did check on those two after that gruesome fight." Engineer said. Everyone else was in agreement.
"So after my procedure, he showed a lot of emotion towards my subject on Pharah. The only time when he showed that much emotion was when someone insulted America. So he must have some attachment towards her to act that way." Medic finished. Mercy continued with her analysis on Pharah.
"Pharah also showed the same signs when I confronted her about it. Also her phrasing of 'knowing Solider better than I do' was more than enough proof to show that they clearly have something going on between them. She's usually known to keep her emotions in check." Mercy finally added. The two doctors were proud of what they found along with their progress on analyzing mental dilemmas.
"Now what did our hyper runners find?" Symmetra asked. Scout was about to proclaim his finding but tracer beat him to the punch.
"When we delivered their food, We were talking with Solider until Pharah covered his mouth to stop him from saying anything. The hand she used had a sapphire bracelet on it. She never really wore jewelry so I asked about it. She said it was a gift from a friend."
"And that's were me, the most awesome person here, looked through the room with my amazing eyesight."
"Thanks to me, Dummkopf." Medic said to Scouts lack of gratitude.
"Anyway, I saw a photo from a photo booth I assume was from the fair last night. The picture I saw had two of them snuggling up to each other cheek to cheek. And she was rocking that shiny rock too. So her whole gift story was a load of crap." After hearing all of their findings, Engineer only had one question.
"So if they went to the fair for the photo, who let them leave? Aren't they suppose to have an escort if they are moving round the base." He asked. Scout quickly yelled something. He predicted that certain mask warring fiend was behind this.
"C'mon out ya friggin spy! We know you had somethin to do with this."
"Ruining my fun our you?" Spy whispered directly in scouts ear which caused him to jump. He quickly fell to the ground and the room began to burst into laughter.
"Not funny you snake." Scout said as he fixed his hat. He resumed his seating position.
"So you escorted them and let them leave, correct?" Tracer asked.
"Hmm I don't know what you are talking about. I might need something to jog my memory." He replied. The spy simply wanted something in return for information.
"We won't tell Winston and I'll get you a pack of cigarettes cheap suit, now spill." Scout bargains.
"Wait, it's all coming back to me now. Yes, I let them leave because they decided to go out on a date." He revealed. This got some mixed responses.
"What in Sam Hill!"
"Your not serious right!?"
"To think this could happen!"
"Never would I have seen the day!"
"That's bloody adorable!"
"BUCKETHEAD GOT A CHICK BEFORE ME?!?! *ahem* I mean, I knew it!"
When everyone calmed down, they realized that the spy has left. With this new information, they could now proceed to the next step. Engineer and symmetra were prepared for their part and they were not gonna disappoint.
In the soliders room
"It's a tie...again." Pharah said as she was playing Solider in chess for the twelfth time. They had nonthing better to pass the time so they settled for board games.
"What! Impossible! I demand a rematch!"
"No, I'm done playing. I think I might turn in for the night. Goodnight Solider." She said as she stretched her arms and began to walk to her bed.
"Wait. Aren't you gonna take that off?" He asked. Pharah turned around confused and shock.
"Take what of- you want me to strip you shameless moron!?!" She said with shaking fist. Solider just kept his composure and continued.
"I was talking about your bracelet."
"Oh." She felt like an idiot again. The worst part is that she already did this before with the end result being him sent to his medic.
"I'm really sorry, I've just been on edge lately." She explained but didn't want to delve in in too far.
"I've been feeling that way too. Well at least you didn't punch me this time. I wouldn't have wanted to send you to Mercy this time." He taunted. Pharah rose to the challenge.
"Oh is that so? Last I checked, I have been the victor in most of our brawls." She replied. They both knew were this was going. They know this situation all too well.
"HA! I have actually won most of our brawls. Your are simply no match for me softie which is why you resort to tricks."
"Well let's settle it then moron. React to this trick then!" She said as she tackled solider to the ground. They both rolled and tussled until Pharah finally achieved the top position. She straddled him with all of her weight.
"I win again , you must like getting dominated since I always find you at the bottom." She teased. Those words just rang in soliders head. That dream began to seep in his mind. He started to let his urges take control.
"Your right. Only if it's you Cupcake" He said which suprised Pharah.
"W-What? Don't say stupid stuff like that!" She stuttered. She was caught off guard with that phrase that she loosened up enough for him to glide his hands over her thighs. His firm hands caressed her curvy thighs which threw her completely off-balance
She was helpless
Her mind started going back to that dream she had the other day. Try as she might she started to let these urges take over. Her grip on him begin to fail and he took full advantage in continuing his act.
As Solider began to slowly work his hands up towards her torso, he quickly retracted them. He started to regain his former self.
"Amari, I'm sorry, I don't know wha-"
"Did I say you could stop honey?" She said in a flirtatious manner. Solider knew this wasn't any type of insult at all. This was not Pharah he was talking too.
"Listen, it's getting late and maybe we should go to bed." Solider tried to move her off but her she reaffirmed her grip. He wasn't getting out anytime soon.
"No! I refuse to let you go this time. You've been the cause of this edge so you just might be the solution. I'm not losing this fight." She inched her face closer. She whispered in his ear. "Besides I know you feel the same way about me, don't you?" Solider had no choice but to admit it. He needed to find some form of an answer as well. His silence was music to her ears.
"I knew it. Now why don.-" She didn't have time to respond as the positions were switched. She found her self looking up at Solider.
"Like I'm going to just give it to you! I also intend not to lose too. Your gonna have to do a lot harder than that Amari." Solider said with newfound determination. Pharah simply smirked, she always enjoyed this side of him.
"I wouldn't have any other way Jane." She replied with confidence.
This wasn't a regular battle between the two warriors known as Pharah and Solider, it was a new battle with Amari and Jane. These two have been fighting by themselves for so long that they need some form of relief. They both are hoping to find the answer in each other.
They stood up and stared at each other. The fiery determination could be found in both of their eyes and before they realized it, they embraced each other with a kiss. They both fought for dominance over each other's mouth. Their tongues were at war with each other as their hands explored them with such ferocity. They both collapsed on the bed with each other's shared warmth.
Maybe this wasn't going to be a bad battle after all.
