The Moment I Fell For You Genji x Reader

Chapter 9

The audience gasped as they heard Otelga's words. You internally smiled, the play was going so well so far. The people behind stage were smiling from ear to ear, watching their art work or props come to life in this enchanting theatre. You had a break for a while because Genji would be training with his brother in this scene. It would take a while so you decided to grab a water, pull up and chair and watch from the side.

"Genji, pick up your speed! You're slacking!" Hanzo struck again, successfully striking his side. Genji took a knee, clutching his side and grunted. He looked up at Hanzo and narrowed his eyes. Quickly, he knocked the older Shimada off his feet, placing the sword at his neck.

"Good way to take me by surprise. So brother I've been wanting to ask you a question." Hanzo sat up and looked at his brother. Genji plopped down facing him, his face resting in his hands with mischievous smirk.

"Genji, what is your relationship with Y/n?" His smile suddenly dropped. "What do you mean? She's my friend and servant." Hanzo glared at Genji, his face suddenly changing to a darker shade.

"You're forgetting her place. A servant is a servant. She is not supposed to be your friend Genji. You need to make sure she knows the rules of this palace or I'll make sure she does." It was Genji's turn to glare, he stood and faced his brother. The young Shimadas face showing nothing but exasperation.

"You know, all we do here is work, work, and all seriousness. I'm still young Hanzo! I want to live and at least have one friend that doesn't just want to be with me for my status or money. I'm so sick of father constantly pressuring me into things I never want to do, it sucks Hanzo! I just wanna be normal." Genji hung his head. His brothers eyes soften and pulled his young sibling close. It was your cue to walk from the downstairs of the dojo. You were supposed to lean against the wall while Hanzo and Genji argued, so you did.

"I know Genji, but this is how it has to be. I'm looking out for you too ya know. I just don't want her calling you by your first name on accident when father is around. He'll kill her Genji. You must take notice of the sever danger you put Y/n in sometimes. I love my servant too." Hanzo smiled at the thought of Ming. Genji looked up at his elder brother and gave a surprised look. Hanzo raised a brow and asked what.

"I don't love my servant. I mean I love her as my friend but I'm not in love with her." Genji explained but on the inside, it killed him to say those words. Good thing you weren't here to hear that, or so he thought.

The crowd 'awwwed' in sorrow when you emerged from the shadows. Genji's breath was stuck in his throats as he saw you approach them. You smiled and bowed your head, telling Hanzo that his father had called for him. He thanked you and left quickly, nearly running toward the exit. You did your best to muster up a contradicting facial expression between happiness and sorrow and from the looks of the audience, you sold it.

"Sorry master, I shall be going now." A hand grabbed your shoulder and spun you around. You were met with a pair of hazel eyes, ones that held so much emotion that you had to quickly avert his wild gaze.

"Are you alright, master?" You asked.

"When did you arrive? I didn't hear you come in." You pointed to the downstairs and looked back at him.

"I came from there. It was unlocked so I thought I'd let myself in. So, don't you have a date with Ms Shimizu at 9:00? I don't think you want to keep her waiting." (Otelga's last name)

You could tell he wanted to say something else but decided to keep his mouth shut. He nodded and left the dojo, fear lingered in his heart that you had overheard him saying something completely false. You waited till you couldn't see his figure anymore and collapsed in the center of the dojo. You pulled your knees to your chest and cried. Sobbing harder than you ever had before, some even thought it was a little too realistic.
