Colleague - Gency

Goodnight

*10pm*

"Still raining, huh?" Genji asked, looking out of the window.

"Yeah... I should probably start going though. It is pretty dark" She sighed, lazily throwing her bag over her shoulder.

"But you might get sick"

"There's nothing we can do about that"

"Stay over!" A somewhat awkward silence filled the room. "Because- well- there's a spare bedroom right next door to this one... And I can give you some clothes to sleep in... And... Uh..." He panicked, his cheeks turning red from the sudden pressure to think of an excuse.

"Okay" was all Angela said, cutting Genji's panic off. She loved to see the relief that suddenly hit his face.

Genji started routing through his wardrobe trying to find something that would decently fit Angela, but he had a hard time. He eventually pulled out a plain white T-shirt and some old pyjama bottoms that were too small for him. Their bodies were obviously completely different from each others, but this was the best they were going to get.

"Try these" He handed them to Angela, making sure to be gentle.

She went into the bathroom and got changed, taking her hair out of its ponytail also. Unsurprisingly, both of the clothing items were slightly too big, but they were bearable. Angela loved it- oversized clothes made her feel really comfy and warm.

Once she revealed herself to Genji, he had to actually stop his mouth from dropping open. How can she make literally anything look good? He thought to himself.

"Thanks for this" She commented, stepping closer to Genji, facing the floor.

"No problem! It doesn't half repay you for what you've done though-"

"What have I actually done for you to be so nice to me?"

"Well... You're here, and you're you. That's enough for me to thank you" Genji smiled, noticing the pinkness that had appeared across Angela's cheeks.

Without even thinking, Genji reached his hand out and placed it on Angela's face, lifting her chin up so that she was looking directly into his eyes. They stayed like that for a minute, just thinking about the other person, if they felt the same way. Non of them would've guessed how drastically their lives would change after meeting each other.

Angela eventually picked her hands up and placed them on Genji's face. He had no time to react as, before he knew it, Angela had pulled him down to her height. She waited a second or two, then kissed him with the same softness he kissed her cheek earlier that day. Genji didn't even have anytime to close his eyes, instead he just enjoyed the moment.

"Goodnight" She whispered after pulling away. She quickly walked out of Genji's room and went into the spare one next door, her heart beating out of control.

I didn't mess up, did I? She thought.

Genji was in shock, he stood there completely paralyzed. He placed one finger on this lips, reliving the sensation he'd experienced moments ago. He fell back onto his bed, closing his eyes as he smiled.

He squealed a little bit afterwards. He was acting like a teenaged fangirl at her favourite band's concert. Yet that is really what he felt like.

No matter how hard they both tried to sleep, they just couldn't. Knowing that the other was right next door really made them both unsettled. After a while, Genji wanted to see how she was doing. He hates sleeping away from home, so he wanted to make sure Angela was okay.

He got up from his bed and tiptoed out of his own room and into the spare one next door. Angela still heard him, and immediately shut her eyes. She didn't know what he was doing, but she didn't want anything to be awkward.

He entered the room slowly, opening and closing the door in absolute silence. He crept over to the bed where Angela was sleeping, and sat down on the floor next to it. Angela was facing the opposite way, so she opened her eyes.

"Glad one of us could sleep" He whispered, obviously rather tired.

"I-I can't" Angela muttered, sitting up and facing Genji.

"Oh! Me neither" He replied, shocked that she was actually awake. "Mercy-" He was about to ask her something before he was completely cut off.

"Don't call me that, please. Its Angela... Angela Ziegler" She said, feeling relieved. It had been so long since she'd properly introduced herself to anyone.

"Angela... A perfect name for an angel" He smiled, picking his head up. Angela giggled, happy that Genji didn't seem annoyed about what she did earlier in the evening. "So, Angela, can I... Hug you?" He asked, embarrassed that he sounded so desperate.

Before Angela could give him a spoken answer, he felt two arms wrap around his neck. He embraced back, wrapping his arms around her waist. He didn't mean to be creepy, but he couldn't help but notice how nice she smelt. They wanted to be there forever.

Angela just wanted to hold him, to feel him in her arms. It'd been so long since she cared about someone as much as she did Genji. She finally understood why people in love were so happy, and not from a science perspective.

They fell back onto the bed, holding each other tighter. Angela almost started crying, but not for any sad reasons. She was so ecstatic that she finally found it- the feeling that she didn't realise she was craving.

They finally let each other go, but they stayed close, looking into each others eyes.

"So... You're not mad at me?" Angela asked, scared for the answer.

"Why would I be mad?" Genji was purely confused.

"Well- I mean- what I did earlier was-" She started, before being cut off by Genji placing his finger on her lips to shush her.

"Saying I'm elated is an understatement"

I'm such a cheesy hopeless romantic, can you tell? Haha.
