Overwatch One Shots

Equality - Hanzo x Omnic

(This one shot is of Hanzo and my friend's Omnic OC, Chouka Tachibana. They are a pretty cute pairing I so decided to actually publish it.)

Roaming the streets of Japan was probably not the best idea at this trying time for Hanzo, but no matter what, he couldn't help but be drawn back here. Hanzo walked with the hood on his jacket firmly up, so that no one could see his face. After fleeing from the clan from the guilt of being made to kill his own brother, he was now at the top of their hit list and he couldn't afford to be seen. He didn't really know why he wanted to avoid them so much, or what reason he even had left to stay alive. He supposed one thing he was still here for was to see the cherry blossoms at this time of year. They were pretty and to some extent, they brought about some calm within him amidst all of his jumbled up feelings. The streets were quiet, as they always were, until some form of pained cry rung out above the silence. 

Hanzo stopped, glancing around to try and figure out where noise was coming from, before walking in the direction of it. He couldn't help but want to find the person and even attempt to help them. After doing so much wrong in his life, he did want to try and achieve some good before his time came. He quickly found the alleyway the noise had come from, and came to find these two men - neither one particularly large or muscly - hitting and kicking at this relatively small Omnic who was lay, curled up into a ball on the floor, not putting up much of a fight in response to how they were treating him. Hanzo frowned. Originally, he didn't much care for the Omnics and could've probably been considered racist towards them, but nowadays, he had started to see them as equals seen as they really were no different from him. 

Hanzo coughed to clear his throat and get the attention of the bullies, who both turned to look at him. 
"Whaddya want?" One of them growled, whilst the other gave the poor Omnic another kick in the stomach. 
"I don't much appreciate or tolerate violence in my home town." Hanzo said, taking a few steps forward. 
"Yeah, well whaddya gonna do 'bout it?" The first one said, glaring at Hanzo from where he was stood. Hanzo didn't even respond, but just grabbed the first guy and landed a punch straight in his face. The first one fell to his knees, clutching at his nose, whilst the other squealed a little and ran away as fast as he could manage. The first, after seeing his friend flee, managed to pull himself up and ran after him, not feeling as brave on his own against Hanzo. 

After watching them both leave, Hanzo outstretched a hand towards the hurt Omnic in case he wanted help getting up. 
"Thank you..." He muttered timidly, taking Hanzo's hand gently and managed to get up onto his feet, managing a somewhat smile up at Hanzo. 
"No need to thank me." Hanzo replied, "Will you be okay or do you want me to escort you to your home?" He asked, glancing down at the Omnic to see if there was much damage to his metal body. The one leg looked a little battered from the kicking and a wire was sticking out, severed - It looked as though he might not be able to walk too well. 
"I... don't know." The Omnic muttered, taking a few steps forward unaided, but almost falling over as he did so. Hanzo grabbed him, stopping him from falling flat on his face. 
"I think you might need some help." Hanzo muttered, picking him up gently and cradling him in his arms much like you would with a baby. 
"I work at a workshop a little way from here where we repair Omnics. If you can get me there, then I should be fine." The Omnic added, looking up at Hanzo and noticing that now that he was this close, he could actually see his face beyond that hood of his. He couldn't help but stare for a moment, lost in admiration and awe of how handsome Hanzo was. 
"Alright." Hanzo answered briefly, before turning back onto the main street with the Omnic still in his arms, "I'm Hanzo by the way." He added after a moment, not comfortable with the silence when he was around another person. 
"I'm Chouka! But you can call me Chou." The Omnic replied, having to pull himself away from staring at Hanzo to form a reply. Hanzo nodded and smiled a little. 
"Chou is a cute name." He replied, before continuing to walk and not looking back down at Chou. 

The walk was short, as Chou had said it would be, but Hanzo had kind of hoped that it would last longer. He wanted to talk to him more, he wanted to find out more about him, he didn't really want to leave him. It felt strange to be so attached to someone all of a sudden, but Hanzo didn't try to reason it out. When they arrived at the workshop, Hanzo could've easily put Chou down on the doorstep and leave him to sort himself out, but instead, he carried him inside and carried Chou over to Chou's workspace, before putting him down gently on the work bench amongst the tools and spare parts. Hanzo pulled a chair over, sitting down and then pulling his hood down. 
"Do you need any help?" He asked softly, looking up at his small Omnic friend. 
"I know what I'm doing. Don't worry about me." Chou said with a small laugh, before grabbing a few things and beginning to work on his own leg. Hanzo watched intently, constantly checking for any signs of discomfort or struggle in case he was needed in some way. He couldn't help but feel concerned for his new friend. He hadn't come to like anyone in a while, but now that he had finally found someone to call his friend, he wanted to do everything he could to make sure they were okay. 

It took a few minutes but Chou did manage to sort out his leg. He kicked it out a little and then bent it, glancing at Hanzo who had a look of relief on his face. Chou laughed a little when he looked at Hanzo and noticed how relieved he looked, and only laughed even more when his laugh made Hanzo blush. 
"You've really made my day better, Hanzo." Chou sighed after a minute, managing another smile in his direction. He seemed happy and that made Hanzo smile. 
"And you mine." Hanzo replied in little more than a whisper. There was a moment of silence, and a moment of hesitation from Hanzo, before he reached over and gently rested his hand on top of Chou's. Silence ensued, but it wasn't uncomfortable; it was peaceful. 

(I'm also taking requests of ships from now on, seen as I can only think of so many ideas myself, so if anyone has any requests, please comment down below)
