The Moment I Fell For You Genji x Reader

Chapter 8

A/N: Otelga is played by Grace. Yeah, ew.

Genji and yourself froze. Did you hear that right? Was your mind playing tricks? The woman 'Otelga' turned to Genji, grabbing his arm and nuzzled her face into it.

"So Genji, what do you do for fun around here?" Her eyes shined a mischievous glint, the air becoming thick with tension. Genji's face of annoyance said it all. But he masked it in an instant, faking a smile down at her.

"Ah, well I usually train with my brother in the dojo or play at the arcade." He said almost too blandly. She raised a brow and looked over at you. "Who's she?" She asked, her voice on the verge of revealing her jealousy. You bowed your head.

"I am young master Genji's servant. Pleased to meet you."

"Isn't it a bit rude to call him by his first name? You know, there are punishments for that you fool. I ought to slap you." She raised her hand and swung down but Genji caught her wrist.

"That would be unnecessary Otelga. If you lay a finger on Y/n, I will have no choice but to beat you down myself." The amount of venom in his voice made even the audience cringe. His stare was cold and he had stepped in front of you in a protective stance. Otelga simply nodded and quietly apologized.

"Now then, I'll show you around my home." Genji turned to smile at you, "Y/n, please excuse us. Feel free to take today off." You nodded and kept your head down till you could no longer hear the clicking of their feet. Tsk, that no good woman. Who does she think she is? You walked back to your room and laid on the bed. Your mind was brought back to the moment Genji had protected you, his protective stance, and the way he caught her striking hand so fast. You smiled, flushed from top to bottom. After a few scenarios played in your head, your eyes began to feel heavy so you could not help but close your eyes and fall into a deep sleep.

The stage was switched around quickly. You got up from where you laid and looked at the next scene, rehearsing a few lines here and there. The props team had gotten quicker changing the scenes with the help of the art and light department. Now, it changed to the outside part of dojo. Cherry blossom trees spaced around the gazebo that stood in the middle, hot pink petals scattered across the floor along with the chirping of birds for a faint background noise. The lightening team made sure to bring down the brightness to a darker grey, a color you see before a thunderstorm.

You woke up and made your way down to the gazebo area, a picnic basket in hand. Your act was to be hungry and to be honest you we're starving, not hard faking this role. Once you arrived, you took a seat underneath the shaded trees. It wasn't exactly sunny but you preferred it there anyways. The sounds of leaves gusted as the sky began to darken more than before, the temperature suddenly dropping to a bitter chill.

You ate your sandwich and chips quickly and drank the rest of your water. You looked at the clock on your phone. It was six twenty three, Genji still nowhere in sight. You sighed, a little gloomy about the fact he went on some date with a girl he just met. As if the gods heard you themselves, Genji and his guest were back and heading to the dojo. You quickly got on your feet and bowed your head, greeting them home.

"Welcome back young Shimada. Could I get you anything?" Genji looked at you and then down at the picnic. He smiled and shook his head.

"You're having lunch silly. Plus I told ya you could have the day off, didn't I? Don't worry about it Y/n." You smiled fully and thanked him. At the corner of your eye, Otelga showed great disgust toward you. Her scrunched up nose and the way her eyes scanned your body up and down made you feel small. You bowed again and let them continue on, watching their backs as they went inside the Dojo. Genji turned back to you one last time and flashed a smile, a smile that he exposed to you alone. A loud thump was heard throughout the theatre, signifying your heart beat. You put your hands together, waving shyly as your heart continued skipping beats.
