jamison-junkrat:

Unknown to most (even Junkrat!) Roadhog told Junkrat he loved him first.

Junkrat was the first one to show affection, and he showed Roadhog a lot of it, but it was mostly playful and as they got closer Junkrat took a while to figure out what this feeling he had for Roadhog was. He never imagined he’d be in love. But Roadhog knew he was falling hard the moment it started.

Roadhog doesn’t speak much, didn’t show his emotions often, but all that builds up until he had to tell Junkrat his feelings. But he didn’t want to pressute Junkrat, sure they had fun but Junkrat was his boss, and much younger.

It was late one night, by the fire when Roadhog said it. “aroha i a koutou”
Junkrat looked at him like he spoke gibberish. There was silence between them for a while before Roadhog repeated himself “aroha i a koutou” looking dead into Junkrats eyes

The shadows and red tint from the fire made Roadhog look so threatening Junkrat couldn’t imagine his words being anything but a threat. He didn’t know where they stood, sometimes Roadhog seemed to like Junkrat, other times Junkrat felt he annoyed him. He just stared at Roadhog, frozen stiff until the other went to sleep.

After that Roadhog continued to repeat himself. Junkrat moved on to thinking it was just an insult, not a threat. “What I do?!” He’s ask when Roadhog said it out of the blue, it made Roadhog chuckle, and became fun to see his reaction and minor frustrations.

Another night, Roadhog said it across the fire and without hesitation Junkrat repeated it to him “aroha i a koutou” They had a bit of a stare down, Roadhogs heart thumping, before he leaned in and asked “do you know what that means?”
Junkrat started to sweat like he was in deep shit. “No..”

Roadhog went to take a breather (because Junkrat was so damn cute it made his heart race, and he wished Junkrat had meant what he said)

Junkrat began yelling it at raiders and bounty hunters, acting like a tough guy, when really he was saying he loved them. Roadhog laughed at him.

“When we get off this piece of shit rock I’m gonna look up those words Hog” he threatened “then I’ll ruin yer fun and won’t be the butt a yer sick joke!”

Junkrat eventually tells Roadhog he loves him a few months later. No pressure, no expectations, it was natural and honest, it took a while to come to that conclusion but Roadhog was glad Junkrat came to it himself and took his time with it.

Junkrat brags about being the first one to drop the “i love you’s”

Roadhogs corrects him. “I said it first..”

“What? Did ya?” Wad hid memory acting up again “no fucking way! I’d remember”

“aroha i a koutou”

“Ugh. Not that again!..wait..” sudden realization and a deep red blush “holy shit mate!”
