He knows how much it sucks to be unable to use a limb, but he’s never spent a month bedridden before. When he was recovering from his amputation, he went stir crazy in the hospital and that was for two weeks!
So Jesse begs Angela to let you out for a while. Since it’s only a broken leg and not an open or healing wound, she allows it, but only if you’re in a wheelchair. You’re so desperate for any opportunity to get out that you agree, not caring that you’d spend the entire time in a chair.
He takes you to the mess hall to get some food, then brings you outside so you can get some fresh air. It visibly improves your mood and he beams at you, finding you two a nice spot to sit at.
A rebel as always, he cradles you gently in his arms and sets you next to him on the grass, drawing your casted leg into his lap so it stays elevated. All the painkillers that Angela pumped into you make this painless, and you hum in appreciation as the warm Gibraltar breeze tousles your hair.
He doodles on your cast and cracks stupid jokes and lame pickup lines to make you laugh. Stories about Soldier and his nagging, Hanzo and his grumpiness, and all the shenanigans that the team got up to while you were stuck in bed. He’s careful not to mention missions or training for fear of making you more antsy and wishful to be back on your feet.
When you’re cleared to be on crutches, Jesse will cart you everywhere on his back instead of you hobbling around.
“I’m all the crutch you need, baby,” he winks at you and you punch his shoulder. You don’t even think that’s the correct phrasing, but it was the thought that counted.
Genji
Genji is very sympathetic as he spent a long time in a healing tank before being fitted with his cyborg pieces. He brings you treats that Angela allows him to carry in, and sneaks in more being her back. You’re not too sure how he does it as his armour leaves nothing to the imagination.
When you ask him, he just winks at you and wriggles his fingers.
“Why, ninja techniques of course!” (it’s actually the experience of sneaking snacks into a cinema without a bag or jacket)
He remembers that the body will ache when lying down for too long, and gives you a massage every night. If the pain gets too bad, he’ll run for Angela to increase the painkillers on the drip for you.
At night, he sneaks into your room to keep you company. Brings a holopad and some games so you can alleviate your boredom. If you’re not in pain, he’ll situate himself beside you on the bed and cuddle you close, massaging your back gently to ease the aches.
While on missions, he tries to nab souvenirs for you or remember funny incidents so he can recount them to you. Once, he spent a good chunk of time in a flower field to construct a bouquet for you, earning Soldier’s ire and Hana’s and Lucio’s eternal admiration. When he presents it to you, it’s a clumsy lump of red and white and yellow and pink, tied together with a bandage and you tear up because that was so sweet of him.
He gets scolded in the mess by Soldier the next day, but it was so worth it to see your smile.
Hi, lovely! ❤️ Since you didn’t specify an “era”, I’m writing this from the perspective of post-Overwatch, after he’s made peace with himself. Thank you so much for being patient while I finished this up. Hope you enjoy! NSFW below the cut!
