a/n: here you go, sweetie, i hope that these hc’s are alright! this was pretty sweet to write!
- Genji is stunned to see you, unable to believe that he’s seeing someone he knew, someone who was not only his friend but possibly his biggest crush that he had kept locked away in his heart standing happily with someone else, and a child swaddled up in a tight bundle that you showered with kisses. The golden band on your finger was like an arrow through his heart.
- It hurts him to see it, to see that happiness, he would have liked to have gauged the person you married to see if they were worthy of you if you would be treated well and taken care of, but the smile on your face and the swaddled baby are enough for him.
- Genji snaps at McCree when the cowboy ask him if he’s alright. He walks away fast, the image of your smile and the kiss you gave the baby and your spouse burned into his memory. He’s not sure why seeing you kiss your spouse hurt him so badly.
- Genji doesn’t see you again until after the Recall, it starts him to see you standing next to Lena with a child chattering a mile a minute to Lena which the young British woman easily kept up with them.
- The moment the child notices him, they run over and start cooing about how cool he looks and Lena, laugh’s while you come running over to apologize for your child. Genji chuckles, he see’s the flicker of recognizing it in your eyes before he removes his mask and speaks.
- The look of shock, sadness and something else in your features are all he see’s before you’ve pulled him in for a hug. One that’s so tight he isn’t sure if he’ll be able to escape it.
- Genji learns that you joined Overwatch’s Recall after losing your spouse to someone who was killing former Overwatch members, you joined to find their killer and bring them to justice.
- Genji bonds easily with your child, he eats up every little thing your child says especially when he’s called ‘cool’ and ‘regular ninja’s are cool, but cyborg ninjas are even cooler!’ is mystified when he double jumps.
- Genji feels that crush, the love he had for you buried away slowly returning bit by bit as he bonds with your child and spends time with you. Knows that it’s probably wrong, that he feels this way so he’ll keep his feelings to himself.
- Seeing Genji bonding with your child, and interacting with him again after assuming that he was dead for all these years sparks those feelings that you buried deep inside of you.
- You loved your partner, loved them so much that you are here to bring his killer to justice, but now seeing Genji again have you asking yourself if you ever really moved on from loving him or if your spouse was only a substitute for someone you couldn’t have.
Ohhhh that last bit is heavy! Great work on the rest of it!
