The Moment I Fell For You Genji x Reader

Chapter 3

The days were getting colder now, so you decided to wear things a bit more for the autumn and winter months. You put on your favorite colored hoodie with some black jeans, boots and a scarf that matched. You smiled at yourself in the mirror and began to walk to school.

It was Halloween so there were a lot of people coming in costumes, with high spirits for the holiday. Of course, girls being a bit provocative, are wearing short skirts, open tops, you name it! Not to mention the boys drooling over this. How are they not cold? You guessed it was boys over themselves. Hmph, pathetic.

The school was having a rally today which you would skip and go to the drama room. You hated rally's. The bleachers that hurt your arse, the stupid kids always screaming things that were irrelevant, blowing up condom balloons and throwing them, just the crowded gym itself that was boiling hot. No. A rally is the last thing you wanted to go to. So when the bell rang after third period, you make your way to the Drama room.

The teacher, who was there, greeted you with a smile and welcomed you in. You asked her if you could recite some of your lines for her in exchange for feedback. She gladly complied and allowed you some time to warm up so that it would be at your best. After a few minutes, you revealed yourself on the stage and to your surprise you see a smirking Genji toward the back. His arms crossed and leaning against the wall making him look 'cool'.

Ew.

"Oh Shimada-sama, I cannot accept this gift. It's not my place to receive things from you." You said with a sad tone, reaching out for thin air. You jumped, as someone placed a hand on your shoulder. You saw no other than Genji smiling at you and placed a finger under your chin, gently making you look up at him. Mrs. Puma had an expression of what you could describe as excitement and intrigued. She sat more on the edge of her seat, leaning on the desk before her.

"Y/n, please. It's the least I could do in exchange for saving my life." His words were nothing inaudible but just enough to be heard for where the teacher sat. Genji pulled you close to his chest. Your senses being filled with him to where you could not move a muscle.

Mrs. Puma didn't even grab Genji's lines. She sat back and watch the scene unfold. She was now thinking that the two of you were actual lovers. She was lost for words. Never had she seen this play so intriguing, enjoyable, and addicting.

Surprisingly, the two of you went really into the play. Your parts were in sync and flowed naturally. Both of you got so into your roles, you didn't notice the class that was coming in from the back and watching. A voice from the class finally broke the performance, Puma's heart shattering that she couldn't see more.

"Alright, the rally's over Genji and Y/n. Could we go home now?" A girl with red hair snapped. She wore a pink dress with matching shoes that looked horrible to walk in all day. The dress hugged her curves, pressing against her cleavage making it pop. Typical plastic. Ew. Genji growled walking off the stage to the back, his face clear of any happiness from ending the play. Quickly, you followed him.

"Genji? You alright?"

"Yeah, I was just really getting into it. I love our play so far. You're a really great actor Y/n, I'm actually impressed." He smirked.

"Hmph! What's that's supposed to mean? You didn't think I was great before?" You said over dramatically, playfulness evident in your voice.

"Well missy, you did forget your lines yesterday. What, did you forget that too?" He shot back, a bigger smile forming on his face. You leaped from where you were and tackled him. He was a lot taller than you so he hardly budged, his laugh echoing in the mostly empty room.

"So intimidating." He laughed again. Your face flushed a red color, resembling the red roses in the front of the school. Genji was something else, his laugh was contagious, his smile so inviting...wait. You mentally facepalm yourself, you're forgetting this is all a game. Genji is not your usual guy. He's a player, a master of flirtation! Come on Y/n, snap out of it. The bell had rung signaling to go to the next period. Genji looked at you again but straight after that, he pulled you into a tight hug.

"Y/n, Thanks for making me laugh, I really needed it. My brother has been a bit rough on me recently and he's really giving me a hard time. Just, thanks. I guess I'll Seeya later?" You nodded your head pulling away from him. Why does he do this? Again with this special feeling, what is it?

"Hey Genji~ How long are you two gonna be in there?~" The same girl from before purred through the door. Ugh, piss off.

"Coming, we're just finishing up in here." He turned to you,"So, uh, Seeya later." Genji stepped passed you, gently brushing your shoulder in the process. His action, emotions, affections, what the hell do they all mean?

"Alright, I'll be with Gabriel if you need me." You nearly hissed at him to which he noticed but went on his way anyways. If he wants to play that game with you, so be it.

Genji never came so you decided to just leave the school. Tonight there was supposed to be a big party. Everyone in the school was invited but you knew what went on at parties like these, especially ran by the Shimada residence. Not risking it, you decided to go home and play some video games for the rest of Halloween. Hey! Double XP weekend!
