A Dragon's Fire [Genji x Male Reader] Overwatch Fanfic / PART 2

Chapter 19: Cherry Blossom (Part 2)

Sombra began scanning every crevice and corner in the room, you began searching as well and started at a dusty dark corner that peaked your interest, until you saw genji walk by through your periphial vision. You turned towards him to get a better look at what he was doing to see that he was dead set on going somewhere in the house, maybe he knew where it could be?

You quietly followed genji throughout the house as he went up an old, warped staircase that led to the second story of the residnence.

Two small beds sat feet away from each other with seperate desks on opposite sides of each other. Small toys scattered along the floor only gave you the intention that...this was genji's and hanzo's old room.

He walked over to what seemed to be his bed as he bent over and picked up a picture frame. He couldn't exactly dust it off with his extremedies as he glanced at his hands holding the photo, sometimes he found it difficult to do even the simplest tasks with his body. You did him the gesture and walked up behind him, silently placing your hand above it radiating a little bit of heat so it would melt away the dust residing on top. You removed your hand revealing a clear picture of what seemed to be him when he was little and his father.

Genji was carried on his fathers back and peaked out his head from behind, laying it on his fathers right shoulder giving the camera a cheesy smile along with his father giving a calm one.

Hmm...not everything in this house was traditional huh?

"Nothing....really?"

Sombra scanned the entire room at that point and found nothing. At that point she began processing the idea of going to another part of the house before seeing a picture fram out of the corner of her eye. She stopped in her tracks and turned towards a picture frame, resting on an elevated shelf. Raising her hand to grab the frame she brought it down a little bit below eye level to see it better but, dust crowded its way all around the frame. She puckered her lips leaving a small opening and blew off the residing dust. As the frame grew clearer, she saw a small child and his father sitting on the bench at the park they had passed previously. She took a carefull glance at the small child as he was giving off an odd resemblance. Where had she seen this child before? Becomong curious she shifted through her profile data bank in her mind  untill she came across the one person this resembled the most...hanzo.

Ya the facial structure, the smile. This had to have been hanzo...so this man must have been their father?

Perhaps.

She smiled at the picture, it was cute. Seemingly a great father/son photo.

She set the frame down back where it was and began to walk further into the house but, not without taking one last glance at the frame and smiling.

Genji couldn't help but, stare at the picture for a while and as he stood staring longer the tears started forming faster. It wasn't enough to send him over the edge but, just enough to make him cherish the past he had come to love. You heard a quiet sniff come from genji, even a strong warrior like him couldn't stand to see something like this.

"Genji..."

He had been staring at that picture for so long, he had almost forgotten you were there...

You picked the frame up out of genjis hands and set the frame down. Genji's hands went down to his sides in defeat as he stood there almost lifeless. Staring down at the one thing that had gotten to him the most. You began to reach your hand around to the other side of his face and began to position his head to look at yours. Nothing was said but, plenty of meaningfull stares were exchanged.

Silence.

"(y/n)....i need you....," Sombra glanced at genji for a moment. Genji didn't move a muscle but, acknowledged her prescence. Her eyes were then placed back on you with eyes that counted down every second wasted, " immidiantly..."

"You coming?"

Sombra began to open her mouth to speak again but, she had stopped herself at the view of genji not moving an inch, not a muscle, not even a breath escaped his lips for a moment...

You had glanced back at genji who had his eyes dead locked on you. You were the only thing keeping his head above water at the moment, you were what felt like his life support. He smiled again realizing that fact, "No, i want to reminisce on my past a little while longer." He turned his head back towards the photo and smiled a little bit bigger.

You could sense genji leaving his empty sad state for a new calm state of mind, which put you at ease for a little bit.

You smiled at his gesture and nodded as you began making your way to sombra who was waiting at the top of the stairs. Her deadgrip stare was centered on you giving you an unsettling feeling...something was up.

///

Ealier...

Sombra began making her way throughout the house until she had found a sliding door that seemed to be radiating towards her. This must be the door to the backyard...

She gave the door a good dead stare until she had sucombed to her curiosity and slid the door open. It made a quiet rolling sound and then snapped into place once the door had reached the other end.

Panning the view of the area, she started feom the left then center.... and stopped

Her mouth crept open as awe and shock filled her subconcious.

"Oh no..."

///

You had followed sombra down the creaky stairs getting this feeling of angst.

"What's the matter?"

Sombra kept quiet as she was mentally preparing her next sentence. Stopping in front of the door she pointed outside, "That's the matter amigo..."

You walked closer to the doorway and peaked outside, You spotted the cherry blossom tree that you remembered seeing earlier but, don't judge a book by its cover....

The tree was hiding something you couldn't see from the viewpoint of the path. You examined the tree from top to bottom the dead leaves, the dead trunk.... finally the lonely dead corpse.

Your eyes widened in horror as only one person came to both yours and sombras mind that would fit the description of who this man was...

You closed your eyes praying to god, this wasn't the person you were thinking of...

"Please dont tell me..."

"It's him tipo..."

A tear had escaped your closed eye as you opened them back up to get a good look at what sat before you.

Genji's and hanzo's father....
