@imagine-this-overwatch did an idea with genji having a child that was afraid of him but I wanna try and turn that around because, why not? This is also a small gift for @demialwrites because that lovely writer needs happiness

——–

Genji sighed looking down into his glass of water at the dinner table as he smacked it lightly and watched it shake as violently as the storm outside. Wind was blowing, and rain beat heavily against the window. You had been trying to show your child that genji’s body was nothing to fear, through trials this didn’t work, the child would cower in fear or flinch and run away from him.

The power slowly flickered above you as you shut your child’s room door, while the child shook in fear from the storm above, the nightlight flickered along with the rest of the house causing small scared gasps anytime the child became engulfed into the darkness of the night and tree branches tapped against the child’s room window as if a monster tried to break in, rain sounding like clawed feet running along the roof as if threatening to tear through it shingle by shingle, wind mixed with thunder sounding like the growls from the stomach of the monster wanting to break into the child’s home to reach their room.

Lightning flashed against the walls of the room creating frightening figures of claws and fangs, as the room fades back to the black of the night. The child looked around breathing quickly and surveying the entire room as if their life depended on it and they’re fear filled eyes fell on their closest door that remained opened from the child’s attempt to put the toys they owned away.

The child heard a the crackle of thunder as a ball fell from the closest and the child shrieked, leaping out of bed and running blindly to the nearest source of light. The child dashed down the stairs with tear and fear filled eyes searching for their mother who was asleep, as the child hid into the nearest corner ready to scream and cry, a shine of luminous green light shone through from the hallway as genji was putting candles out in the kitchen, preparing to head to bed.

The child followed the light as fast as they could and clung to their fathers leg as if for dear life, shaking violently and crying. 

Genji’s heart felt as if it stopped as he seen his child actually touching him, he knelt down and the child pulled him into a hug crying, hiding their face under his head and begging not to let the monsters outside get them.

Genji held back his tears as he held his child in return and promised to protect them with his life, he picked them up and walked to the living room with two candles and a book for the child, promising to stay with them as they slept to protect them.

After lighting two candles near the table and setting on the sofa with the child curled against them with a blanket, genji read a story to the child and pointed out happy thoughts of each photo in the book until the child fell asleep against their father.

As promised genji stayed with the child throughout the night on the sofa until morning when you arrive from your room to see the lights back on in the house, and both genji and the child on the light blue sofa, genji is asleep with his arms wrapped around the child Protectively, as the child was wide awake against him reading the book and wrapped in a blanket.

You hadn’t seen a happier sight in a whole year, as you lean on the door frame and say to the child “your dad isn’t that scary is he?” You ask the child who smiles and looks up at their father and says “he protected me from the outside monsters, just like he promised” they lean against him even more and whisper lightly “I love you daddy.”

😊

Imagine that genji’s child is afraid of the dark and since genji glows green the child eventually runs right up to him during a power outage crying saying the never want their father to leave them and they cry against him saying “protect me from the dark” genji smiles and for the first time holds his child close and tells them, he will be their knight in glowing armour and the child soon sees how cool genji is with his awesome ninja moves, and gives him a kiss on his cheek saying “I love you “

YAYYYYY!!

Damn it, anon. That was so sweet that my hands slipped.

why you gotta ruin my angst like that

Thunderous little steps–definitely not ninja-like–storm through the pitch-black house, terrified gasps of “papa-ue, papa-ue” beating against the otherwise silent air. 

Streaks of green paint the darkened halls in illegible patterns, transforming them from the unfamiliarity terrifying corridors into a majestic path toward the cyborg ninja.  It didn’t take long for child and father to unite.

Small, trembling hands wrap around one of Genji’s legs, freezing him in his path. Behind the mask, his eyes widen. His heart begins to hammer, an unfiltered dam of emotion flooding every organic and synthetic fiber of his being.

His child actually holding him. Of their own accord. Touching him instead of recoiling in terror like so many times before. He must be dreaming.

“Papa-ue, prot-protect me from the dark,” his child hiccups. “It–it’s scary.”

The emotion that threatens to overwhelm him dampen, a wisdom of memories long past resurfaces. He supposes he understands what it’s like to be afraid of the dark, of what lies beyond the unseen. He slowly kneels down, adjusting his armor’s brightness to the highest setting it could go. It illuminates his child’s face, and gingerly, Genji runs a thumb over a chubby cheek, not quite wet with tears, but almost.

“Do not worry. I will be your knight in glowing armor.”

“Really?”

He laughs lightly, a little elated. “Yes. I will protect you from any monsters in the dark. For I am a cyborg ninja.”

A few fancy hand gestures accented by a trailing fade of green easily captures his child’s attention, fearful shaking slowly forgotten. Eventually, he’s able to free himself from the death grip his child has on him (as much as he’s reluctant to leave it) to draw in the darkness with his armor and lights, highlighting the darkness like a firefly and with the grace of a butterfly.

By the end of the cyber ninja light show, his child no longer seems riddled with fear, but with a joy that Genji has only ever observed from a distance.

“Did you have fun?” the younger Shimada asks, kneeling down as close as he dares.

To his surprise, his child grabs him and holds him around the neck, and although he cannot feel it, swears he gets a kiss and a quiet, “I love you, papa-ue.”
