Genji had never really made anything like this with his own two hands, he mostly relied on his families money and servants with this sort of thing, now he wishes that he had listened to his mother’s lessons, or to the ones from class, hell he’d even ask Hanzo for help, but he was too proud, too determined he wanted to make this special to you.
Something that you would love, and cherish. Something that would keep monsters and humans alike away from you keep their hands at a distance, their honey-eyed words, and most of all their eyes from raking up and down your form as if you were some prized animal to be judged and won.
So he held the twisted metal of a ring in his hand, it looks horrible, but all of his feelings for you were put into this piece of jewelry. Fiddling with it in-between his fingers while his tail swished back and forth on the floor while he chewed on his bottom lip.
Upon hearing your front door unlock, Genji uncoiled himself and rushed to the front door, a smile on his face while he quickly wrapped his arms you and peppered your face with kisses. Loving the way you laughed and returned his kisses with some of your own.
After dinner, he tells himself, after dinner, he would propose to you once everything was done he would officially as for you to be his mate, his face burning at the mere thought of you wearing the ring that he made for you made his heart beat even faster.
After dinner, after dinner and he would as for you to be his for as long as you live.

Guys, listen. You gotta vote for Genji for me. Please.
Genji’s father called you both in for another one of his ‘meetings.’ It was the just the three of you. Normally, Mr. Sojiro Shimada treated you casually. Just asked you to take care of his wild and wicked son. Genji rolled his eyes but didn’t argue. You answered the elder man with the respect deserving of his position, bowing to him when appropriate and calling him by the appropriate title. It seemed to keep him happy, yet you always left light-headed and highly strung, as if you had just escaped with your life.
The latest one was different. Not just because you recently discovered you were pregnant. You hadn’t told anyone yet. You sucked in your tummy and wrung the hem of your shirt tightly in your hands. Mr. Sojiro was more jubilant than usual. He floored you by announcing that it was time for you and Genji to move in together, and maybe plan to get married. You both left the meeting with even Genji expressing that he didn’t see that coming.
You went along with it, deciding to go see this new house Mr. Shimada bought for you both, and tell Genji your news later.
The house itself was fully-furnished, and maids met you both at the door. You went inside to peer eagerly around you at everything. It was like a mini version of Mr. Shimada’s castle.
Then, the kitchen.
You opened the cupboards to find a wall of food staring back at you. Instant noodles, snacks, and dried noodles. Cans of fruit and vegetables. You went to the fridge next to confirm that, yes, there was meat, fresh vegetables, milk, and eggs in there. Just as full as the cupboards. Even boxes of mochi in the freezer.
“Oh, wow,” you said, awestruck. “There’s a lot of food in here.”
“Ha!” Genji laughed. “Good. You have been eating so much lately.”
“For your information,” you huffed at him, “I have gained weight, but it’s because I’m pregnant!”
Genji spluttered, finally speechless since you met him. It would have been really satisfying, had it not been about such a heavy subject. You turned your back to him to root around cupboards some more. Let him suffer a bit!
You stopped cold, pulling out a bottle of vitamins. On the front in large, thick letters read, “PRENATAL.”
Genji hissed an expletive from behind you, having also seen the bottle.
“Wait. Is that why we’re…?”
You turned to each other and stared with saucer-wide eyes. His father moved you two into this house because he knew you were pregnant before you told anyone. Scary.
a/n: aqui esta, por fin! Perdon que me tomara tanto tiempo en darte esto, @leelokel. Espero que te guste y si no, puedo arreglarlo como tu quieras! (This is a Genji x reader story that I wrote for the contest winner, just to let everyone know)
How long had you being friends with Genji? 3 years? You weren’t sure because the days you would spend with him flew like the wind without a trace. Everyday with him was an adventure and you loved having him in his life as well as him for you. Whenever the both of you were peacefully enjoying time together, he couldn’t help but express how you were a blessing to him and that he was very glad that you had decided to take a trip to Nepal that one time and visit the temple where Zenyatta had him under his wing. Had it not being for that trip, the both of you wouldn’t have the bond you have now.
As time went by, you began to harbor feelings for him. There wasn’t a day where your love for him didn’t become stronger and deeper. You loved the way he made you laugh at his most ridiculous jokes, how he always tried to make you happy in the sweetest ways, and among many other things. You just really loved him for the kind of person he was and you would do anything to see him happy.
The thought of confessing to him had always lingered in your mind, but you feared that he wouldn’t feel the same for you. If you did admit what you felt for him, would he accept you? Or would it break the wonderful bond that the both of you have? You thought that maybe it wasn’t best to express what you felt for him for fear of losing him and so you had decided to seal those feelings away. Having him like this by your side was enough for you, even if you wished for something more.
One day, Genji called you out of the blue, proposing that the both of you should meet and spend the day at local park. When you cheerfully agreed to his idea, you heard how he let out a relieved sigh but you didn’t think much about so you didn’t ask him about it. Now you were on your way to the park, excited yet nervous to see him. Since the day you had recognized your feelings for the man, you couldn’t help but feel giddy every time he wanted to see you. Upon reaching one of the many benches in the park, you sat and glanced around for Genji. Your heart fastened at the sight of the familiar cyborg ninja in the distance and you waved at his direction. You witnessed how he stood there, unmoving from his spot for a few minutes until you decided to call out to him.
“Genji! You’re finally here! I have being waiting a millions years for you,” you exclaimed playfully at his direction, waiting for him to get closer. He walked towards you and answered with a wave of his hand. You then stood from where you were sitting and hurried to his direction, embracing him into a tight hug. He squeezed you a little tighter and felt how Genji buried his head into your neck. Finally, the both of you sat where you were previously and chatted away about each other’s days and whatnot. You were doing most of the talking which you considered unusual since Genji always had something to say in your conversations. When he stopped nodding in acknowledgment to what you were saying, you slowly grew quiet and tilted your head.
“Are you okay? You seem out of it today,” you inquired quite worried. You witnessed how he shook his head in a frenzy once he had heard you. A few minutes passed by until he finally shifted and took a hold of your hand.
“I-I have being troubled by some thoughts of mine that won’t leave me alone and I thought that, well… it was time to express them now.” You grew more worried at this and got closer to him so you could listen closely to what he wanted to declare.
“The moment you came into my life, you made everything more enjoyable and worth living for. You accept me for who I am which means a lot to me since I still feel insecure about myself at times. We have the best of times together: fooling around, going to places without a plan in mind, having the deepest and most meaningless conversations; there’s so many more things I could list out but that’s not the time for that. You accept me for who I am a-and I-…well, um, these past few months I have come to the realization that I care about you… as more than a friend.”
He bowed his head to the ground and you were caught by surprise at his declaration, eyes wide. This wasn’t what you were expecting to hear from him, but you were overjoyed to hear that he felt the same way about you. Then, he brought his head up once again so he could look at you and a deep blush was apparent in your cheeks while trying hide the shy smile you had. It was his turn to tilt his head in confusion, waiting for you to speak.
“G-Genji… I care about you as well… as more than a friend,” you giggled a little as you finished. He gasped at you and you felt as he draped his arms around you in a tight hug, laughing excitedly. You smiled brightly at his response as you nuzzled your head into the side of his neck.
“Do you know how happy you have made me? So happy that I just don’t know what to do,” he excitedly exclaimed, “I was so worried you didn’t think of me that way and I didn’t know what I would do if I lost you.”
“Well, you don’t have to worry about that anymore since I will be with you forever.” Hearing you say that made him hug you a little tighter and beam with joy and having you for the rest of his life as his partner was a dream come true for him. Then, he backed off somewhat abruptly and began to look around. You started to look around as well, curious as to what he could be looking for. Seeing that there was no one around, he went to look back at you and took a hold of your shoulders.
“Now that it has come to this… I think that it is about time that I finally showed you what’s underneath the mask and I’m pretty sure you have being waiting for years to see my face,” he chuckled at his own statement and went to press some buttons behind his head with his digits. A long time ago, Genji had told you that he didn’t cover his face when he was working with Overwatch because there was no way to do so with the prototype armor he had at first. But now he had mustered the courage to show you his face for the very first time. The man then moved one of his hands into his face and slowly took the mask off. Genji portrayed a sheepish grin as he examined your face for any kind of expression.
“Oh Genji…,” you simply gawked at his appearance. His eyes were so kind and bright that you did not bother to pay attention to his face scattered with scars. Genji tried to search for any kind of discomfort or displeasure from your eyes but seeing that there was none of that, he grew confused as he furrowed his eyebrows. Maybe you felt pity for him, he figured. “Your eyes are just… just so mesmerizing and beautiful.”
His eyes? Out of all the things that you could have mentioned, his many scars that scattered his face or how he was missing some part of his chin, you had decided to only praise how ‘mesmerizing and beautiful’ his eyes were. Genji sure was shocked by your sudden declaration and you couldn’t stop staring at his orbs. You smiled happily at him and without a second thought, he grasped the back of your head and brought your forehead to his with a smile of his own.
“Thank you so much. You’re just beyond wonderful, you know that?”
Sketch that I’d like to finish, but I’m not much for color and I don’t want it to be black and white. McCree will have the other dragon, whenever I get around to it.
