You and Genji are new teammates. It’s unfortunately showing.
After nearly missing the drop-ship home on your last mission, along with the commander’s “polite suggestion” of team-building, the two of you settle on semi-forced seclusion of one of the many abandoned outcrops around the watchpoint to do just that— to get to know each-other.
At first, it feels very much like detention or a weird punishment. You put effort into avoiding serious conversation, offering sarcastic remarks about trust-falls or playing impotent rounds of ‘never have I ever’ but Genji surprises you with his sharp wit and soon you realize the two of you have more similarities than differences. Actually, as it turns out, a little bit of harmless teasing was maybe the most productive method to understanding each other; you would have never discovered he was so easy to talk to if you had kept your walls up.
You know, like you planned to.
It’s only when he dips into matters that are a little more serious do you pull back, instinctually, and while you understand what his angle is— emotional stakes, hostages do this to their captors too, something nailed into your head by the commander himself— you’re not ready to level with him like that just yet.
“Tell me a secret.” The brilliant green lights in his visor pulse gently. “Something about you nobody knows. Anything.”
“That’s, uh, maybe a little too much for right now,” you admit. “Kind of like asking strangers about their scars—”
He perks up as you speak, physically leaning into you. You’ve said the magic word without meaning to, without knowing there was one.
“Scars?” No sooner does he ask do his hands slip around to the back of his skull and work open a mechanism. With a dull hiss, he removes the metal plates that stretch and hide his features and for the very first time, you see your teammate’s real face.
There are multidirectional scars running all over his skin, evidence of trauma, but behind that his eyes are warm. Kind. “We can compare, if you’d rather.”
You look, stunned. His only defence is a smile; it’s a small thing but you can tell there used to be vanity there, residue of ego. The smile used to be a smirk. It’s become shy. Humbled.
This is as personal as it gets with him now.

Could I please get some headcanons for how hybrid kitty!Genji would tell his owner he’s in love with her?
- Very lowkey angst but I bet he was just blunt one day and said “I love you” but you took it like.. the familial I love you??? So you were just like “aww I love you too, sweet kitty.” and Genji was just… disappoint. Ears flat against head kind of sad. :c
- So he starts saying it more but then it becomes a casual thing, which is the OPPOSITE of what Genji wants.
- So he starts being far more affectionate than normal if that’s possible.
- He’ll take you out on dates and make plenty of mentions that it is in fact a date. (But you’re just like awww yeh a cute little date between a girl and her cat! how cute!!) ((basically friend-zoned but like… the hybrid pet way))
- So okay he starts giving you gifts, but that’s not uncommon with cats since they will sometimes just bring home junk for their owner so—-
- Time to break out the big guns. He gets you a promise ring and basically confesses to you marriage proposal style. He thanks you for the love you give him despite his handicap and lists all the things he loves about you. And of course he points out his frustration with your obliviousness but he loves you all the same.
- You likely feel sooooo bad for unintentionally friend-zoning him but you gladly return his feelings, take the ring, and you are officially a couple!
- (Genji totally adds a “I’m Hers” pendant to his collar. Totally.)
I’m here!! Lmao! Can I please have a request about Shimada brothers (separatedly) fell in love with Talon!Reader, but they sense kindness from her? They feel like she’s different, unlike other Talon agents. What would they do and how will they react bout that? Thank you!! Im sorry if it’s a bit confusing :x
a/n: here you go anon! sorry about the wait i feel like i could have done better, but gosh i’ve re-written this so many times that this is what i was able to come up with and be sort of happy with it.
Genji:
- Genji is surprised to find himself falling in love with you. You went toe to toe with him, matching each of his blows with one of your own not missing a beat until his step faltered and you stopped your attack altogether before pulling him towards you just in time with the familiar sound of clapping thunder and a bullet buried where he once stood.
- Genji enjoys his skirmishes with you, each fight brings a new challenge with different tactics employed by you in each fight. Some similarities are shared between you and the Talon Assassin, he fought back in Venice.
- You are very kind to be a member of Talon. Showing him mercy, stopping the fight when he would miss a step and even going as far as to tackle him down to save him from being taken down by a sniper.
- Genji lets his feelings be known, the next time the two of you engage in a skirmish, in the middle of your battle, don’t be surprised when he disarms you and tells you how he feels.
Hanzo:
- Hanzo is so confused, falling for the enemy is something so old and pulled straight from a romance novel. But when you stood in front of your comrade, and his drawn arrow looking directly at him in his hiding place, mouthing ‘shoot me’ he was stunned.
- Each mission your eyes find one another, looking at him, mouthing the same ‘shoot me’ at him each time while acting as a human shield for your comrade while they recover.
- Hanzo didn’t realize just how hard he had fallen for you until he saw you off the battlefield, acting as a shield for others, just as you are to your Talon comrades.
- Hanzo reacts by burying his feelings so deep inside of him, that not even he would be able to drag them up, but when he see’s you again, low and behold those feelings make his heart slam into his chest with enough force that threatens to break his bones.
I think cyborg genji would travel inhumanly far to collect a trinket or a rare flower to woo someone (the reader, of course). Could please you write something like that?
a/n: i sure as heck can attempt to write something like this!
Everyone might call him a fool in love, but Genji wanted to do this. He went to great lengths to get the flower that he wanted so he could present it to you as a gift, something that he could let you have on your first date.
Hands shaking, he still somehow managed to not hurt the flower. He was worried, worried if you would like this gift or if you even liked him. The heart of a human, of a man, still beats within him, but you could dislike him due to the fact that he is more machine than man at this point.
But when he see’s your face light up, how your eyes shine when you see the flower. Cooing over how beautiful it is and how you look at him with what seems to be admiration? Love? He can’t tell, but asking you out on a date has him terrified, but with how you reacted it seemed that you felt the same way.
“Would you like to go out on a date?” Genji hates how his voice cracked, but you looked at him that soft and thoughtful expression present.
“I would love to.”
Genji felt his heart sore at your reply, and his heart slam hard against his chest. He couldn’t help picking you up and twirling you around due to the sheer happiness he feels.
I requested this forever ago!! HOW DID I FORGET!?!? It’s so nice. So, so nice. I love it. ❤
Buenas!! Ya estaba esperando que abrieras los requests :D Hmm… maybe McCree, Hanzo and Genji get drunk and their crush will take care of them? Then they say something nice about her… God!! Se me hace la picha un lio escribiendo inglés, espero que me entiendas, o me avisas xD Muchas gracias! :3
Buenas! Este ask si que estuvo muy padre porque pues todos borrachos XD aaand I made them into scenarios so your answer will be pretty long (I loooved writting them though!) XD Espero que te guste!
The genji portion… asddlajsdlakjsdklajsdl 😍😍😍
McCree, Gabriel Reyes, and younger Reinhardt. hanging out with his female best friend and realizing he loves her, but she’s hesitant to date.
a/n: here you go!
McCree:
- McCree is someone who lives and breaths what he is feeling, and what he feels for others.
- So the moment he realizes that he loves you, he’s taken aback at first, knowing that you aren’t really in the dating scene right this moment. Hesitant to start dating again, McCree can’t blame you what with your line of work and other factors that play into it.
- So McCree will keep at it with hanging out with you, loving you or not, McCree values his friendship with you most of all and will keep acting like normal, but the moment you learn that he has a big fat crush on him McCree will be embarrassed.
Gabriel:
- When Gabriel loves someone, he loves them fiercely and wholeheartedly.
- So it isn’t surprising that he realizes that after a mission, that he loves you while holding your hand just happy that the two of you made it out of that battle-battered, bruised, but alive.
- Does small things for you, but never pushes his feelings for you onto you. Knowing of your hesitancy to date Gabriel respects your space and longs steadfast friendship that losing you entirely is something that he worries over when he realizes that he loves you.
Reinhardt:
- He’s a young foolish man, so knee deep in his own search for glory that he didn’t really give the fluttering in his chest much thought at first merely seeing it as him being happy to see you.
- Oh how wrong he was, Reinhardt didn’t realize that what he felt for you was love until after the battle at Eichenwald, seeing you again and holding you again while the two of you cried together about what had happened, about him being alive is when he realized that he loved you.
- Knowing of your hesitance to date again, Reinhardt puts effort into bettering himself, to be someone worthy of feeling the way he does for you. Becomes your own personal knight in walking armor.
Can you please do kissing headcanons for the shimadas, mccree, and junker duo please? 💋
Genji
- He has a lot of experience so hes like crazy good at kissing.
- If he were younger it would probably be more frantic and heated.
- If it’s him currently then its still pretty hot but its slower with more romantic intent rather than sexual drive.
- A hands on your waist kinda guy. He really knows how to make the world seem top fade.
Hanzo
- Probably wont want to kiss in public affection is something private in his mind.
- If he ever does its a quick but sweet peck somewhere out of the way.
- Hes usually very gentle about it but can be rough when the mood strikes and when it does you better be ready for him.
- He kisses slow and cups your cheek like a cheesy k drama scene.
McCree
- He kisses you all the G darn time all over your G darn face.
- He likes to express his feelings whenever he has the chance but hes kinda smug about it too.
- He appreciates it if you return his kisses too. He likes to make a game out of who can give more surprise kisses throughout the day.
- I wanna say he probably has a lot of experience kissing too and is likely a master of kissing you until you’ve got stars in your eyes. Probably would dip you. Is really impressed if you can dip him as well.
Roadhog
- Personally I’m a sucker for the mask kisses where he just kinda snoot boops you so I wanna say there’s lots of that.
- Also he will never take off his mask in public so even just lifting it up for a quick kiss is something he will only do in private.
- Kinda rough when you’re really going at it but it’s not too bad. He’s no expert but he takes the time to learn about what you like.
- His hands are big enough to cover your entire back so you’re flush against him.
Junkrat
- The first few times were pretty sloppy and too rough for just about anyone. he probably bit you.
- But what he lacks in skill he makes up for in enthusiasm.
- Hes also the type to kiss you anytime anywhere no matter what’s going on around you. Eventually he does learn how to kiss properly and while hes never the best he certainly knows how to please
- Kisses are just as fiery as he is and he’ll probably try to pin you when you make out but he actually really likes if you try to pin back. It helps him burn off some of that energy of his.
How about #81 “It’s cold, you should take my jacket” with Reinhardt?
This one gave me some trouble, but I’m proud of how it turned out!
You were deep in conversation with your friend, sitting outside a cafe in your hometown. Chatting loudly. Gossiping. Giving each other toothy smiles at the jokes you tossed at each other. The breeze was the only downside. It was cold this spring. You huddled closer to your friend, naturally lowering your gossip to a whisper.
Your chatting was interrupted by a sun-warmed denin jacket large enough to settle on both your shoulders.
“It’s cold, you should take my jacket,” growled a confident voice.
A huge, blonde man walked past and away from the cafe.
“I will return for it! And in exchange, I want both your numbers!” he called over his shoulder.
He gave you both a ridiculous wink and turned to keep walking, his glorious hair tossed over his shoulder at the movement.
The mysterious man never returned for his jacket. Your friend joined the war effort. Killed in action. So you kept the jacket in memory of them and that day. You kept it tucked in the back of your closet.
Years went by, and the war never reached your town. It didn’t change much, except it was emptier. More lonely, both from the absence of your friend and from others lost in the war. You still frequented the same cafe and sat outside in the sun. This time you knew better and brought the mysterious man’s jacket to keep out the cool spring breeze. Also to feel the presence of your friend sitting next to you.
“My jacket! Ah, but you can keep it,” said a man behind you.
You turned around.
You had never seen a man like this in your entire life. And yet, he was very familiar. A friendly smile slowly dawned on your face despite yourself.
“You remember me!” he said, maintaining his own smile. “I was that same fool who flirted with you all those years ago.”
The blonde man!!
He wasn’t as gorgeous as then, but he was certainly handsome. And the scar cutting across his eye must have an interesting tale behind it.
“May I sit?”
You nodded immediately. The large man settled onto the seat next to you. You placed your elbow on the table and your chin in your hand, ready to chat.
“Well, you aged better than me,” he chuckled.
“I don’t care what anyone else thinks.” with ya boy Genji. Maybe he and reader are on a date and people keep giving them dirty looks
Heck yeah!! 😀
You ignored the rude stares of the people walking by on the street. You had used all your courage to ask Genji out. You weren’t about to let some strangers you may never see again ruin this night for you. You took Genji to the most expensive restaurant that you could afford, saving up your money while also saving up your courage.
Your hands bumped accidentally while you walked, and you grabbed Genji’s fingers. He accepted your hand in a proper hold, intertwining your fingers. You couldn’t help your embarrassed grin at the pavement.
Genji surprised you by pulling you into a quick side-hug and pressed his cool visor into your cheek. “You are so cute.”
You grinned harder, still blushing.
“Is that alright?” he asked. “I feel rusty.”
“What? Oh! Yeah, yeah,” you spluttered.
Consider yourself thoroughly charmed by this ‘rusty’ playboy. The good mood continued when you arrived at the restaurant, were seated, and ordered your food. The drinks arrived. Genji removed his two faceplates to drink.
The gentle hiss of the removal of the first plate provoked ruder stares from the people seated around you. Genji’s eyes hardened. You looked around at all the inconsiderate people in their stylish and well-tailored clothing. People with more money than you.
“You know what?” you began.
He looked to you, his gaze glassy and unreadable.
“These people think they’re better than you, than us. They’re not. I don’t care what anyone else thinks,” you said. It seems this restaurant was a bust, but you didn’t want to end the date here. “Do you wanna go somewhere?”
His mouth curved in a half-smile.
“I know a rooftop with a beautiful view,” he said.
You smiled back and called the waitress over to get your food packed up to go.
Merman Hanzo Headcannons
because I did Genji, how could I not? this fuckin art, also
- likes to peoplewatch from afar while the cute, foolish humans splash and have fun on the beach
- he spotted you with your friends and he had an “Aha!” moment deep inside
- he’s cautious though, he just watches you at first instead of approaching
- lucky for this shy man, you keep coming back to the beach day after day so he can figure out what kind of person you are
- after a few weeks watching you and liking what he sees, Hanzo realizes he’s fallen for you without even speaking to you
- he’s super embarrassed of this fact but also determined to meet you in person to see if his feelings are based on fact and not just him daydreaming (Genji may have also teased him, making him more determined)
- he spends his days watching you, and his nights in a human form with long, beautiful black hair, learning how to walk with confidence and not trip and fall on his face in front of you and your friends
- one day he just goes for it, and a beautiful stranger with a long, black braid introduces himself to you and your group of friends
- you can’t help wanting to stay until late, not wanting you and Hanzo part
- you two end up having a romantic moonlit picnic holding hands and talking about anything and everything, and he lets you undo his braid to stroke his lovely hair
- he shows you who he really is before the night is over
- you accept who is, and he’s definitely in love with you and this seals it for Hanzo that he wants to live with you on land
- you don’t know what happened when he went home and came back upset with his hair cut short, but his chin held high
- just give him some time, he’ll explain to you how his love for you wasn’t accepted so he straight up left (he was banished as well, which upset him, but he was willing to take a risk on you)
