     You frowned at the sight of Hanzo, glaring at you as if you were just wasting his time. He didn't understand how serious you were about him, and it was starting to hurt. "Listen, accept my confession or reject it, but this is the last time I'm saying it. I love you. Even though you pretend that you're unaware of my feelings, I love you, Hanzo."

     He paid no mind to your words, instead glancing up at the grey clouds looming above your heads. "We don't have time for this. Let's get inside before it starts raining."

     "No."

     Hanzo paused for a moment before looking back to you, eyebrows raised. "No?" he repeated incredulously. It was the first time you'd ever stood up to one of his commands, and he wasn't sure how he felt about it. "What do you mean 'no?'"

     "I'm not going inside until you give me an honest answer. How do you feel about me, Hanzo? This one-sided affection is starting to get draining." You didn't falter as his stare grew more intense. "Just tell me what exactly you want out of me, and be done with it."

     "You have no right to make any demands out of me. Come inside and we will discuss this at a later date." His tone was firm, his posture imposing.

     Still, you didn't back down. "You know, just once it would be nice if you were the one chasing me instead of me always chasing you."

     "This is your last warning: drop it before you say something you'll regret."

     "God, Hanzo. Can we just stop it with this subordination thing you've got going on? I get it, okay? I agreed to serve you and follow you to the ends of the Earth because of a life debt, but I've long since fulfilled that, don't you think?" Your voice was getting shaky as you rushed to continue despite the disapproving look he was giving you. "I've stayed so long because I love you! Why can't you grasp that?"

     Hanzo heaved a sigh, his expression finally softening. "Why can't you be comfortable with where we're at right now? Why must you attempt to take things farther?" He looked tired as he studied the aesthetics of your face.

     This was the closest thing to a response you'd ever gotten out of him. "I love being around you-- being with you. I just want to be able to do so while knowing that you appreciate my company." The air misted with precipitation as you spoke. "Specifically, I want to know that you appreciate me as a person."

     He pinched his eyes shut in frustration. "Of course I appreciate you. We do not need to be lovers for me to do so, (Y/N). Why are you so determined to push our relationship past that of two professionals?"

     "It's not just my wanting to be appreciated that's driving my actions, though! My heart hammers in my chest every time I see you. I get lightheaded and I can scarcely focus on anything other than the looks you give me and the abundance of skin that your outfit shows!" Your cheeks heated up a bit at the last admittance, and you saw a flicker of indignance flash across Hanzo's features. "I can't take my eyes off of you. I want some sort of return for all these emotions that you instill unto me." 

     "(Y/N), I-"

     But you were already rambling on. "Honestly, I know I should be more embarrassed about all of this, but I can't find it in me to care anymore. In fact, let me take this chance to admit that I want more than just an emotional connection with you, Hanzo. I want the physical side of having a relationship with you, too! How many days go by that I fight immoral thoughts at seeing how skilled those hands of yours are when you handle your bow?"

     Hanzo looked more vulnerable than you'd ever seen him, his eyes wide in both shock and abashment. He wasn't even fazed by the light drizzle of rain as you ranted on without regard for consequences.

    "And don't even get me started on how I feel training for hand-to-hand combat with you! I've never said anything, but my thoughts tend to drift when you have me pinned to the ground, you know? And I think I'm having a heart attack every time you and I share living quarters because there's always that small hope in the back of my mind that you'd take advantage of the situation!" You stared him down determinedly, taking note of the way his jaw was tensed and his face was reddening. "Is all of this new information enough to catch your attention? Does it resonate with you?"

     Hanzo grabbed you by the collar of your shirt, pulling you against him with an intense glare. "I recall advising you to cease this nonsense before you made any regrettable statements."

     "I'm not taking any of it back." You were on a rebellious streak, and you could tell it was throwing Hanzo off. 

     Hanzo held your gaze with ferocity. "You make me think things that my ancestors would despise." In the next moment, he pulled you closer, pushing his lips against yours in a single movement.

     Your mind went foggy, but all of your senses seemed to be heightened; you could feel in great detail the contrasts of Hanzo's warm body and the chilling droplets of rain hitting your bare arms, the soft curvature of his lips as they melted into yours, and the smoothness of his skin as he wrapped his arms around your smaller frame. 

     You were really, truly kissing Hanzo.

     When this realization dawned on you, you moved your hands to grip at the fabric on his back, moving your lips against his eagerly. If you'd known that all it took to get Hanzo to listen to you was a bit of sexual tension, you would've revealed your thoughts much earlier on.

     All too soon, you had to pull away and catch your breath, your eyes meeting Hanzo's almost shyly. "That was . . . wow."

     He turned away, clearing his throat. "Please come inside. We can further discuss this in the privacy of my room."

[Author's Note: I love this boy so much, but I'm always nervous about writing him out of character. Anyway, the next oneshot will be a Tracer x Reader based on Soulmate AU #1!]
