In this story you're 5" and I learned that Lena's height is 5"4. Hope you enjoy!

~(y/n) POV~
"Hey there shortie! How've ya been today?"

"For the last time Lena, stop calling me short. You're only four inches taller than me."

I grin at the brunette in front of me as she giggles softly.

"I know luv, but I still feel like I need to comment on how cute your height is. You're so adorable! Also I have another thing I need to tell you."

I look at Lena with a slight smirk but I cut her off before she can tell me anything.

"Yeah, yeah. And let me guess? I'm also 'fun sized' or am I'm closer to earth or I can fight someone's shins? I've heard them all Lena."

"No I just wanted to tell you that I-um had a dinner reservation at that cute Italian place. You remember the one we had to save from Talon, right?"

"Yeah I remember."

"A-and I was wondering if you uh, wantedtogowithme."

"What?"

"D-do you want to-t-to go with me?"

"Sure, but why me?"

"I uh reallylikeyou(y/n)."

I'm barley able to process what she said before she zips away. I look at where she once stood. A smile creeps onto my face as I realize that Lena just asked me out on a date. I suddenly feel eyes on the back of my head as I see this weirdo watching me. He looks about 5"10', has a grimace on his face, and looks very hateful towards me. I look away from him as I walk to the lounge.

~Time skip~
I'm sitting in the lounge area, on my phone watching videos. I've been her for two hours not really paying any attention to any of the videos I've been playing. I'm still thinking about what Lena told me. Does she really like-like me? I'm too lost in thought until I feel someone sit down next to me.

"Hey tiny."

I look up from my phone as I see the same weirdo from earlier, giving me a sinister grin. I look around and see we're the only two in the lounge area and I get a slight panicky feeling.

"Um who are you?"

"That doesn't matter. Now what does matter is that I've been seeing you hang out with Lena more often."

"What of it? She can hang out with whoever she wants, and that happens to be me. Why do you care."

"I care because I heard that she likes you, and I'm just here to show you why that's a downright lie."

"So what she likes me? We've known each other for years and I love her, she's the best thing that's ever happened to me and I'm glad she would want to go out with me."

He begins to laugh as my hand unconsciously goes to my knife holster.

"Do you really think you have a chance with her?! HAHAHA. She's an amazing woman who deserves a man, not someone whose half a man."

I glare him down. I don't say anything as I try to leave the lounge until I feel his hand on my shoulder. Quickly I turn and punch him in the jaw before getting into a fighting stance.

"Is that how you want to play short stuff?"

He suddenly rushes at me and picks me up. I'm not able to process that he threw me across the room until I feel pain on my back. I don't let that hold me down as I grab my knife, rush up to him faster than I've ever been able to before, and used the handle to hit him in the stomach. He grabs his abdomen and I try to make a quick getaway from the area until he grabs my leg and throws me onto the glass coffee table. I feel shards poke at my back. I look up at him as he grabs my knife and puts it on my throat.

"I'm not done with you fucker. Do you really think someone as small as you could ever be anything other than a pushover? As soon as Overwatch sees how pathetic you are they're going to kick you out, and then Lena will realize who's the better man. All I need to do is squish the little bug."

"Just fucking try it and see what'll happen."

We both look at the door  and see Lena glaring the guy down. She walks up to him

"Who the fuck do you think you are hurting my boyfriend like that?! You need to respect your higher ups! HE'S BEEN HERE LONGER THAN YOUR SORRY ASS AND WE CAN REPLACE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT VALUED MEMBER OF OVERWATCH!"

I've never seen Lena this angry and could've sworn I saw her chronal accelerator start flashing red. I saw the guys start blubbering something but Lena just glare fiercely at him and uppercut his jaw. I watched as Lena kicks him in the stomach and when he bends over she punches him in the nose, effectively breaking it. I watch as he holds his nose and gives Lena a shocked expression.

"I just thought, because he's..."

"He's what?! Short?! Just because someone's short doesn't give you any fucking right to hurt them! I love (y/n) for who he is and I'll never love a brute like you!"

I watch as the guy stared at Lena for a few agonizing seconds before walking out the room. I get up feeling bits of glass still in my back.

"Are you ok (y/n)?"

"Yeah. I didn't know you could get so angry Lena. It was so..."

"Scary? Stupid? Not really intimidating?"

"Hot."

Her face goes beet red as she starts to stutter out a small response. I chuckle as I slowly stand up. I look behind me  and see there's no blood on the shattered table. I take off my shirt and see the glass had luckily only broke the fabric but not my skin. I look over and see that Lena is somehow a darker shade of red.

"Like what you see pumpkin?"

"M-maybe."

I laugh a bit as I walk over to Lena. I slightly pull her down and catch our lips in a tender kiss. We stay like this for a few seconds but it felt like an eternity I never want to end. We pull apart and look into each other's eyes.

"I love you (y/n)."

"I love you too Lena."

She slightly supports me as we go to find Mercy to patch me up and Soldier 76 to get that agent kicked out of Overwatch.

"So I've been your boyfriend without knowing Lena?"

"Oh shushers (y/n). It's something that we've both wanted for a long time, hasn't it?"

"Yeah, it has."
