The Moment I Fell For You Genji x Reader

Chapter 6

The sound of the alarm clock blaring woke you from your sleep. Today was the day of the play. During the first 10 minutes, you laid there with your face in the pillow till you fell back asleep and woke up 20 minutes late. You rushed to get yourself together. Your putting your hair up, brushing your teeth, and throwing something on. You looked over at your dresser to see the necklace Genji gave you. You thought it'd be nice to wear it for today so you put it on and ran out the door.

Throughout the first few periods, you were so excited. Your heart rushed at the thought of the whole school watching. Drama was a pretty popular club, mainly because of having a chance to see Genji in action for at least 2 hours. As you walked down the corridor, classmates and randoms were talking about the club and it's show today. Most were excited and there are those few haters. Nonetheless, it seemed like tonight was going to be the highlight of the school year. Your nerves began to kick in but just enough for you to brush them off, at least for now.

As you arrived to class, you noticed Genji was once again surrounded by girls, isolated in his small corner. But knowing him, he loved the extra attention. The young Shimada flashed his famous smile, his eyes bright and focused on the girl he was talking to. The look he gave her made a tingling sensation in your stomach, a sharp sting in your heart that made your face hot.

Jealousy?

Jealous? Why would you be jealous? It's not like you liked the Shimada dork..or do you?

No.

You put on a smile and walked over to the said man, flashing a smile just as beautiful as he did. As you approached, the lot of girls gave you questioning looks that contrasted with a glare. Genji on the other hand, his smile only grew more as he saw the necklace around your neck, the Ying and Ying placed perfectly in the middle of your chest. Although as you got closer, your confidence only shrank as the stares weighed in.

"Hey Y/n! How are you doing?" Genji said almost too excitedly, the girls at his side looked at him carefully. Did he favor you that much? Did he act different around you? Sure his smile changed but that was about it.

His charm.

You shook your head aggressively. 'Go away thoughts, you're not needed now!' You internally yelled at yourself. You have a boyfriend already, why was your mind thinking such things?

Covetous.

"Hey Genji, I'm fine. How about you?" His smile was at its peak and you could tell he was more than elated to see you. His cheeks flushed an extremely light pink while his posture took a tense turn. The eyes that looked at you were overcast with love and longing, an emotion that you see too belated before it's gone. You were taken by surprise when his arms open and pulled you into a welcoming hug.

'Warmth.' Your heart sang, the thunderous beating only quickening with each passing second. Genji hummed in content, the vibrations of his thrum could be felt through his torso. Your face flushed, the roseate color scattering fully on your cheeks. He pulled away and patted your head.

"I'm excited. Are ready for the final rehearsal?" You smiled and your face was reborn with determination as your eyes narrowed.

"Yes, let's make this show the best we can."

~The Play~

The red curtains in front of you were the only things that concealed you from the audience. Through the small gap in the middle, you could see a full house. They had expanded the theatre a few years ago because they always sold out too soon with the small one from before. After the doors closed, the lights began to dim and the audiences tumult had died down to a water dripping level. Your stomach turned as the butterflies grew more intense, the narrator delivering the introduction of the play.

"Good evening ladies and gentleman. Today we bring you a real curtain raiser, a show that will bore itself into your brain for the rest of your lives. So we bring to you, The Moment I Fell For You." The curtains were pulled apart, the spot light shining on your once shadowed figure.

"Y/n L/n will be playing the leading Female Role." The crowd clapped and family members hollered your name obnoxiously. It was then Genji stepped from the shadows and the crowd screamed his name. He smiled and turned his attention to you, a smirk evident on thatperfect face. You spotted Gabriel in the back who gave a small wave at you. "The leading male part will be played by Genji Shimada."

"Well folks, we hope you enjoy this extravagant play and hope that it will bring you happiness, excitement and possibly pull at your heartstrings. We will now begin act one."

The lights dimmed once again and Genji along with yourself looked at each other. Both of you ready for the play that will take action in just a few moments. This was the big moment, your time to shine. You weren't gonna let that go down in vain. In Genji's mind, he felt the same way, but for a different reason, and that, was you.
