Bein' greedy and promptin' again: #11, Mei Ling Zhou/Gabriel Reyes (Reaper or regular)

This set of prompts~

11. “Don’t you dare throw that snowba-, goddammit!”

Gabriel Reyes was not, on the whole, a big fan of the concept of “winter.” Growing up in LA had meant that winter wasn’t so much a thing, for him; the first time he’d seen snow it had been exciting, but now it was just sort of....cold. And wet. And inconvenient.

And yet there he was, standing outside Watchpoint: Geneva, bundled up as much as he could be. It was all sort of worth it, though, just to watch Mei spin around and giggle and enjoy the weather. Things with her were still new - but they were good, and he’d move mountains if it would make her smile.Standing in the cold for a little while? Not all that much of a sacrifice, in comparison.Except -- he narrowed his eyes, watching as she paused and scooped up some snow and started packing it together.“Mei, don’t even think about it,” he said, and she straightened, mock innocence on her face.“Think of what?” She asked.“Don’t you dare throw that snowba --” He threw an arm up to block when the thing came flying at him, “goddamnit!” But Mei was laughing and he couldn’t even be all that mad.“Fine,” he bent down and scooped up his own ball of snow. “You want to play that way? This means war, Doctor Zhou!” Mei bent to scoop up another snowball, right as Gabriel threw his, and when it hit her, it sent her into another fit of giggles.“Come and get me, Commander Reyes.”
