*(Y/N): age 17 * Genji: age 15*

Ever since I was young, I got everything at the tips of my fingers. Any girl, video game, or weapon was mine to control... but I couldn't get one thing- no, one person I couldn't get. Out of all the girls I've ever gotten with, (Y/N) was to oblivious to even notice that I love her. And it didn't help that she's with Hanzo... "Genji! How are you doing? How's your girlfriend?" (Y/N) asked excitedly, standing infront of me. I sigh before shaking my head. "Not well, and I don't have a girlfriend anymore. I grew tired of her, she wasn't any fun. She was just a bitch." "Aw, maybe the next girl you meet will be the one. There's still a lot of time left." (Y/N) smiled at me. She was practically an angel, so sweet and soft, but my brother had her heart. "Can we get going already? The arcade isn't going to stay open all day." "Huh? Oh, sorry Genji. I didn't mean to make us wait. Let's go!"

"Man, and I thought I'd act like a kid. How cute~." "Haha, very funny. Let's go before HanHan changes his mind about us hanging out." (Y/N) giggles and blushes at the nickname she gave Hanzo. My blood boiled at the thought of Hanzo, making my mood sour for a moment before back to a smile. Grabbing her hand, I drag her to the arcade. Once inside, I asked what she would want to play. "I wanna play Soulstone! You know it's my favorite game!" "Okay then, how about we take turns. We can try and beat each others highest score on it." "Sure, I wouldn't mind, but you'd be awaiting a while." (Y/N) grinned adorably at me before starting to play. Time pasted and (Y/N) was still playing, but I didn't mind. Watching her being so cute when concentrating was like a dream come true. 'I just wish I could watch this sight everyday...' I thought, without even realizing I said it out loud.

"Watch what everyday? You okay Genji?" (Y/N) asked, not even looking at me. "Uh, not-nothing. You h-heard nothing." "Suuuure, and I'm a K-Pop singer that does duets with Rap Monster." (Y/N) said sarcastically while rolling her eyes. I growled in annoyance before bluntly speaking out. "Well, I don't see how I love you. You're to oblivious and such a child at times." It was like time froze and everything went silent. (Y/N)'s character died as her eyes went wide, not looking at me. Tears started to pour out of her eyes as she turned towards me. "W-What did y-you just say..." (Y/N)'s voice was so quiet that I could barely hear it. "You heard me, I said it loud and clear. That you are such a child at times and to oblivious of my love." I said in anger, not realizing my voice getting louder with each word.

(Y/N) backed away in fear, eyes wide. "Genji... I didn't know..." "Yeah, I can fucking tell. Can't you see that ever since we meet, I was trying to get your attention! I didn't get with those girls no reason, I got them because to make you notice me! You knew me even before you met Hanzo and yet, you fell dor HIM!" My breathing became heavy as (Y/N) watched me, only shaking her head. "I'm sorry Genji... I'm so sorry, but... I only saw you as a best friend or brother... nothing love related..." (Y/N) backed away before running out the arcade. I stand there in shock, reality hitting me hard. 'She only saw me as a brother and a friend... nothing more... nothing less...' My thoughts raced as everything seem to have went blank.

*Genji: age 35*

Opening my eyes, I groan. "Genji, it is time for training." A robotic voice said softly as a gentle hand was placed on my shoulder. My thoughts became clear and nod my head. "Yes master... did I make you wait?" "It does not matter Genji, though you seemed a little troubled... might you tell why?" Zenyatta asked me, knowing that my past was very sensitive. Knowing my master, I knew that he would be patient with me. "Master... I would rather talk about it later..." "I see, but do remember that if you need to speak your mind, that I am here for you."

"Thank you master... I really appreciate it." I say softly, looking out the window towards the orange sky. Zenyatta left me to myself, seeing that I needed some space. Looking down at my hands, I made them into a fist before punching the ground. 'Why... why do I keep remembering that moment... it's like a curse coming back at me...' I growl in annoyance. Soon, my anger turned into sadness as I started to cry. "I'm sorry (Y/N)... I'm sorry..."
