Yay! I'm finally ungrounded! I'll be posting one chapter every two - three weeks, since I'm back in school and the creative juices aren't flowing as fast as they were before. Im so happy to be back! Also this chapter is really long since I felt bad for not updating for months.

Hanzo's p.o.v.

What would be the perfect distraction for Genji? He has already completed his sword training and his regular training bores him. I have tried to distract Genji by making him run errands but he always stops to flirt with a girl or he completely forgets what I told him to do. Hmm... What does Genji like to do? He used to be obsessed with arcades... that's it! A new arcade just opened in the city maybe I could send Genji there! I'll send him there tomorrow, I don't believe father has any plans for him so it should be a good distraction. But what if he gets bored and decides to leave? I need someone to keep an eye on him. What about (y/n)? I'm going to be gone tomorrow but I don't want her to be alone all day, she could hang out with Genji, kill two birds with one stone. Perfect, I'll tell Sojiro, hopefully he approves or else I don't know what I'm going to do with Genji.

"So you wish to send Ms. (L/n) and Genji to the city, to play in an arcade?" Sojiro said trying to understand my plan,"This would keep Genji distracted and Ms. (l/n) could keep an eye on him, yes I approve your plan." I thanked my father and gave him a polite bow before I left to tell Genji of his new assignment.

"Sweet! I get to go to the arcade and be with (y/n)!" Genji exclaimed happily.
"Just don't try anything," I warned Genji," and don't take your eyes off of her, Talon seems to have some interest in her..."
"How am I supposed to keep my eyes on her but not try anything?" Genji pointed out,"Even you would have trouble with that brother." I sighed in frustration.
"Just keep your hands to yourself," I was starting to regret my plan,"Now leave before I change my mind." Genji quickly left and I walked to my room. Is this really a good idea? I could lose (y/n) tomorrow... If it is meant to be it will be, I'll just have to wait and see. I climbed into bed as more thoughts clouded my head but before I could answer them I feel asleep.

Your p.o.v.

"(Y/n)!" Genji called for me, "Hurry up! I want to get there before it gets busy!"
"Alright, alright, I'll be out in a minute!" I shouted back. I quickly threw on a pair of jeans and my favorite hoodie (A/N If you don't like the outfit you can choose to wear whatever you want, I just love a good pair of jeans and a hoodie). I opened my bedroom door to see Genji impatiently waiting for me. "I told you I would be out in a minute."
"But a minute is soooooo long," Genji complained,"anyway, let's hurry up, I can't wait any longer!" Genji grabbed my hand and quickly ran off pulling me along. We passed by Hanzo and I saw a look of disappointment on his face or maybe it was regret, I couldn't quite tell.
Once we made it to the arcade Genji quickly dragged me to the nearest machine and slotted two coins inside. The machine flared to life with bright lights and a catchy tune.
"Road Wrestlers 2?" I asked Genji.
"Yeah, there's this one girl with a crazy helicopter kick," Genji explained," she calls it the 'spinning bird kick'." I rolled my eyes at Genji and he stuck his tongue out at me. "Try it." I quickly stepped away from the game and waved my arms in protest.
"No, no, you play."
"Awww come on (y/n)," Genji complained," what do you got to lose?" I sighed in defeat and reluctantly walked to the machine. "Here let me help you." Genji grabbed my hands and placed them on top of the controls.
"Wh-what are you doing Genji?" I asked nervously.
"Helping," He whispered softly into my ear. A shiver ran up my spine as Genji's body wrapped around me. "Don't be shy (y/n)."

I allowed my tense muscles to ease into comfort as Genji's body stuck to mine. I felt Genji's chest leech to my back and his head rested next to mine. He purred softly in my ear causing me to shiver again.
"Are you cold?" Genji asked me with concern. I nodded slightly and Genji tried to comfort me. "Here you play and I'll keep you warm." He moved his hands from mine and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Is that better?" I nodded again as my face started to flush, luckily Genji couldn't see.
I moved my hand to the start button and with a satisfying click the screen transferred to a list of characters.
"CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER!" The machine blared at me.
"Pick her, pick her," Genji pointed at the screen to a female named 'Chum-lee'," she's the one I was telling you about earlier." I flicked the toggle stick to the right and the cursor landed on Chum-lee.
"I'm the strongest women in the world!" She declared proudly.
"You sure are..." Genji drooled over the highly muscled women. I shook my head in annoyance and quickly started the match.
"FIGHT!"
The game turned out to be a side scroller (A.K.A. 2D) where you fight challengers and finally your rival. My first challenger was a women named Sammy, she wore a jumpsuit that showed off her long legs.
"Your missing teeth will remind you of my victory!" She proclaimed and the battle begun.
I quickly started button smashing since I had no idea what I was doing. After a while I was able to figure out some of Chum-lee's moves. I figured out she had this weird spam kick if you kept pressing the kick button and she could also throw people if you pressed the kick and punch button at the same time.

"You're not too bad," Genji complimented me. I giggled because of the compliment and Genji held on to me tighter, "you're so adorable." I felt my face grow warmer as he snuggled into me. Genji made me feel safe with his arms twisted around me, a feeling I haven't felt ever since I left my family for a better future.
