Hana Song / D.Va: Hana's the type of woman that would use humour to mask her jealousy - she's usually friendly, but she wont stray from poking fun at whoever she's jealous of, especially when around her partner. She's confident in herself, and doesn't internalise the jealousy, just uses it to fuel her anger towards the person she's jealous of. Her jealousy would reflect in her affection as well - her kisses would be more dominating, her hugs tighter, even hand holding would involve her nails digging into your hands more. It's her way of showing she's better, and reminding her partner that she's theirs and they're hers. Hana won't verbalise her jealousy, unless it's for a valid reason that her partner is feeding into.

Olivia Colomar / Sombra: Olivia holds her cards close to her chest, and when she feels jealous this is amplified. She keeps her guard up, and wont open up about her feelings even on the smallest of things. All the while, she'd be subtly manipulating situations where her partner's interacting with the person causing the jealousy to plant seeds of doubt and dislike from her partner to them. She doesn't take jealousy lightly, and she needs to feel in control of situations otherwise her mind wanders to dark places. Olivia would most likely hide her jealousy behind a façade, never letting anyone see how much it's affecting her. In reality, though, it is and if it were affecting her deeply, she'd create scenarios for her partner and the other person to ‘find themselves in’, so that she could test her partner's loyalty. When Olivia's backed into a wall and can't move on from it, she does destructive things like that and wants to test her partner's loyalty and commitment, just to reassure herself.

Jamison Fawkes / Junkrat: Because of his explosive nature, Jamison would probably react to situations that cause him to feel jealousy with impulsive, attention-seeking and destructive reactions. It would be immediate, and he would emphasise these emotions to the extreme - he might do rash things like become verbally aggressive with the person making him feel jealous (not his partner), and wouldn't think twice about the things he was saying or doing. It's his way of trying to feel better, and trying to gain his partner's attention back. Jamison would definitely be plotting some overly complicated and malicious way to get back at the person causing the jealousy, in an attempt to stop it from happening anymore. If confronted by his partner about his emotions, he would be honest and vulnerable, in hopes that it would cause them to see how much it's hurting him and how badly he wants their undivided attention. Otherwise, he wont speak about it and would have no intention of confronting the issue head on in a mature way.

Sloan Cameron / Venture: When Venture feels jealous, they take a very analytical approach to the situation. Instead of letting themselves react with impulsivity, they would take a step back, understand the situation, and formulate a way to move forwards with it. They'd also take into consideration their partner's interactions with other people, and see if it's something their partner is doing or the people they're interacting with. It's important to Sloan to fully understand the situation and that includes who's responsible for causing the emotions they're experiencing, so that they can approach them about it. Sloan would make an attempt to communicate with their partner, and wouldn't use blaming language. The goal of the conversation would be to highlight how they feel, listen to their response, and work with them on a solution. It's something they're good at, and they value their ability to speak to their partner in a candid way about the situation and their emotions. They would want to focus on self improvement if they're lacking as a partner in a specific way, and Sloan would make an effort to set boundaries if something their partner was doing was causing the jealousy.

Hana Song / D.Va: When Hana's with her partner, she likes to show them affection through words of affirmation. It makes her day so much brighter when she sees them writhe in themselves with embarrassment and love after being called pet names. She likes to call her partner names like 내 별 (Nae Byeol) and 천사 (Cheonsa) especially. When Hana isn't calling them pet names though, she's praising them and telling them how cute they are, or how adorable it is when they tell her about their interests, and things of that nature. She's easily flustered when she tries to show love in other ways, and would hope that her partner understands that she means every word she uses.

Akande Ogundimu / Doomfist: As the leader of Talon, he has to maintain an imagine in the public eye that he's a stone cold killer. Akande struggles with showing his love, and sometimes believes that his partner should already know they're loved simply for being with him. If he didn't love them, they wouldn't be around - that's his mindset at times. But, if Akande wants to and it's needed, he likes to show his love through physical touch. A hand on the knee while sitting together, or on the small of their back while they're cooking together, that sort of thing is rare but definitely important to Akande. He's not the type to say how he feels, but when he does show it, Akande's partner will definitely be able to tell he really means it and wants them to know he does. Don't get used to it though, moments where he holds his partner or shows them love through touch are few and far between.

Odessa "Dez" Stone / Junker Queen: When she adores someone, Odessa loves to show her love however she can. She'll show them off to the Junkertown citizens, her friends, and anyone else who's around. PDA isn't something Odessa strays from either; she want's them to know that they're hers and she has no one else in mind to fill her life like they do. However, when she's in private, she loves to show her love through acts of service. It's not something Odessa can easily do in public as she's the leader in Junkertown, but with her partner it's a different story. She wants her partner to feel as though they're just as important to her as she is to Junkertown. Odessa thrives when she can see her partner's face light up after finding out she handled the chores and they can sleep comfortably together. It's incredibly thoughtful of her, and it makes her day being able to help her partner and uplift them even more.

Maugaloa Malosi / Mauga: Maugaloa is the type of man who will show his partner off however he can; he likes to make them shy around people because he wont stop talking about how sexy they are, how important they are, etc. In reality though, his favourite way to show them love is through gift giving. With his work in Talon, he gets to travel the world but often times, his partner can't come with him. As such, he likes to bring back little trinkets that reminded him of them, and things that represent Maugaloa's partner in his own mind. Fridge magnets, anything heart related, even sea shells if he fought or worked near the coastline. It doesn't matter if it's expensive or cheap either; if it reminds him of his partner, it's already bought and being wrapped up, ready for when Maugaloa sees them again.

Ramattra: When Ramattra isn't busy or has the chance to see his partner, the first thing he'll always do is squeeze them to death in a big hug. He's a huge fan of physical touch, even if he receives little benefit from it. He understands the importance of contact in the human race, and with his partner, he wants them to feel loved too like anyone else does. Ramattra always makes an effort to show them love in other ways, but he loves physical touch the most and seeing his partner's face light up when they're kissed, hugged, tickled, rubbed, anything. It helps him feel normal too, and forget everything going on and all the responsibility on his shoulders.

Reinhardt Wilhelm / Reinhardt: Reinhardt is old fashioned; if his partner was home while he's busy working, he'd send them flowers and imagine the look on their face when they realise he sent flowers that represent how he's feeling with a heartfelt card that describes how much he misses them and wishes to be back home, in their warm embrace. He's a gentleman in the way he shows love, and is old school with gift giving being his favourite way of showing his appreciation for his partner. To Reinhardt, his partner deserves the world and he's prepared to give them everything he has to offer, both financially and physically. It's something he enjoys even if he cant see their face for himself and their reaction to his gifts. Rein's partner should prepare themselves for an entire room filled with gifts over the years from him, which vary in importance and meaning.

Mako Rutledge / Roadhog: Mako isn't one for words; he keeps things simple and he enjoys life that way. With his partner, the same would apply and he would enjoy quality time the most when showing his partner that he loves and appreciates them. Something as simple as watching TV together, cooking, cleaning, or even shopping is amplified for Mako when he's able to with his partner. It's as though they make everything sweeter in his eyes, and with spending time together he doesn't feel the pressure to show love in the standard way. He'll often times offer to run errands together, or spend time doing something mundane but important, just to be able to show Mako's thinking of them, and that he wants them around.

Siebren de Kuiper / Sigma: Again, I can imagine Siebren's old school in the way he shows love, and with his eclectic style, his partner should expect him to tell them he loves them through words of affirmation. He has a special way of making their heart crumble when Seibren uses space puns and terms to describe how much he loves them. Sometimes, he'll say things in Dutch to properly be able to describe how he feels about them in a language most close to his heart, as though doing so amplifies the meaning behind his words. In public, this isn't as common as PDA isn't something he's comfortable with. However, this doesn't apply to when he's alone with his partner and can have the freedom to express how he feels without judgement or punishment.

Hana wouldn't know what to do when she saw you laying in the hospital bed, still unconscious from the meds that Angela had to give you. You tried to attack her the moment you realised where you were, and she had to keep you safe from yourself. But still, it hurt Hana seeing you so... changed.

The main thoughts going through her mind in this situation would be 'how did I let this happen?'. She wants to be your guardian, your protector and the person you can rely on. So, when she sees how badly damaged you have become because she lost you that day to Talon, her heart breaks. Hana never would've expected the things that you had to endure to become their perfect soldier, and she can't help but blame herself for what happened.

When Angela suggested exposure therapy to help revert your mindset, and suggested to Hana that she should speak to you, remind you of who she is to you and who you are deep down behind Talon's experiments and life-changing alterations, she didn't want to at first. She didn't know if she could handle the responsibility of it - what if it didn't work? What if, by some chance, you do revert back to the person Hana grew to love, and then you were captured or hurt again? It was something she didn't want to risk, and it took a LOT of coaxing from the other members of Overwatch to get her to at least try it.

Hana would've began by returning to your room in the early morning, whilst the nurses had their handovers and were occupied with one another as opposed to you. It was her chance to watch you asleep - you were always a deeper sleeper when things were causing turmoil in your mind, somehow, so you wouldn't have felt her trembling hand touching yours lightly. It was strange to her, feeling your skin in that moment. It had been no less than a year since you went missing, and she found herself learning to get used to the grooves of your skin all over again. But a part of her liked it - it was as though she was on this journey with you.

In the beginning, she could only stay until lunch. By then, you'd always, without fail, awake by 10am and begin your analysis' on the enemy infront of you. Hana could see by the way your eyes drifted slowly but precisely over her that you were watching her movements, sizing her up almost. She had to bite her tongue, though, and let you. After all, its better to take it slow, than to rush things right now... right? After you sized up your prey infront of you, the woman holding your hand softly as though she were a ghost, you would always become aggressive. If it weren't for Angela's restraints holding your shoulders back against the bed, you'd have hurt Hana in ways your past self wouldn't have dreamt. But Hana never judged you for it, never reluctantly considered if this was all worth it. Instead, she understood it all. It pained her to a point where she couldn't hold back her tears some nights, but she never let that show to you. Otherwise, you'd never learn to trust her again, or be willing to learn what her love feels like. You were traumatised and coded to react precisely how Talon wanted you to, and Hana became determined to undo it with every visit, pushing your limits and mindsets with every visit.

Kiriko loves when she holds Hana in the night. Something about feeling her warm breath against her, usually, cold body brings her relief. The angelic way Hana molds herself to Kiriko's body is effortless to her, and it makes her heart skip beats when she hears Hana mumble in her sleep. Kiriko would never tell Hana that she talks in her sleep, wanting to keep this little secret all to herself.

Hana can't help but always keep an eye on Kiriko wherever they are - if she's caught, she denies it thoroughly. But she can't help it; she has to make sure that Kiriko's safe and has someone looking out for her when she's got her guard down. Hana doesn't see her relax often, so she has to protect her however she can.

Kiriko often teases Hana for how prideful she can be. It's rare that Hana will admit to anything that may sully her image in a way that's vulnerable, so when she finally is left with no choice but to do so, Kiriko has to keep that information in her mind, ready for the next time Hana might use her sharp tongue against her. It's her way of reminding Hana to drop her guard, and to let her be vulnerable no matter how embarrassing it might be (in the most unserious way possible, of course).

Kiriko may be older, but there's times where Hana feels as though she's the older one in the relationship. But that's because Kiriko feels like she can drop her guard, and be childish with Hana without being judged. It's simple things, like making silly jokes at innocent things that look innappropriate, or making teasing digs to their shared friends in a way that would make her look 16. Hana doesn't mind though, and sometimes likes having someone willing to let themselves be naturally them without their age dictating their behaviours.

Hana loves to ask Kiriko questions others might not understand but she does, and shows more about Kiriko's character than she might realise. For example, one of her favourites is asking Kiriko which animal she would like to be, if she could choose one to reincarnate into. Kiriko, of course, replies with ‘fox’, but when prompted further and scolded for picking her favourite animal, and not one that fits her personality, she spends a lengthy time re-evaluating her answer. It's sweet to Hana, seeing her take her time more and let herself answer more deeply.

Kiriko's answer always changes each time, revealing something new to Hana with every animal. The one that stook out to Hana the most was a red panda - Kiriko explained she felt akin to their playful nature, whilst also being flexible and balanced in combat. It was the last thing she'd expect to hear, and yet she can see it completely - now, Hana calls her ‘panda’ as a small, affectionate nickname behind closed doors.
