No More Want
McSombra Week: Day 1 — First
Warnings: None
A/N: I wanted some angst with a side of sweetness and shenanigans. More importantly, I wanted to write the first time Sombra and McCree become more then just nighttime lovers.
Sombra tenses against the binds. A harsh breath falls from his mouth, almost swearing at the pressure. The rope cuts into his shoulders and around his waist, but more specifically, they ensnare and trap his hands beside Sombra’s. Back to back, tangled up like two flies in a spider’s web, they sit on the bare floor.
“You’ve got to stop pulling against me, darlin,” McCree mutters. The words rumble in his lungs and against her spine. “This rope is going to cut my skin.”
djskflajflafks; fk;s fkt this is so beautiful! I really love how you can tell how each of them perceives the relationship so far just from subtle actions and words, like when McCree finds it sour when she says “maybe later” because he already knows what that implies and how in her own way, Sombra is both trying to protect him and herself if they’re to move forward with a relationship, especially with the kind of lives they lead.
I like how Sombra reacts, too and how adamant McCree is, trying to bare every single truth to her that he feels from within about their relationship. I love how he has an answer for every single response that Sombra has waiting for him, possibly because he’s heard it time and time again. You can really feel his impatience with the situation and how much he wants things to change beyond a ‘fwb’ scenario.
Ah, it’s all written and laid out so beautifully!! And it’s probably not intended, but I feel like the ending is open ended, because Sombra’s reaction can cause one to think maybe she’s just saying what McCree wants to hear/needs to hear at the moment to get things done. That makes this piece very impressionable and leaves me thinking about it even more despite me finishing it! 😭 Thank you for sharing this writing with the rest of us!
