To Know Yourself ~McGenji~

<2>

     The next morning Jesse wakes up exhausted. Stomping his way to the kitchen he makes himself Pancakes.
Remembering he was gonna watch the ninja, he picks up his plate of food and runs out to the balcony. Genji, however, is already sitting down on it.

   "Goodmornin' how was yer sleep?"
"I should be asking you that"
"Me?"
"You look tired"
"I... couldn't catch much sleep yesterday"
"Why?"
   Jesse's heart races, he doesn't know what to say. Knowing he had nightmares, but he also was thinking about Genji.
"W-well I-I.. had a couple nightmares "n'-"
"And?"
"I couldn't keep my mind off ya"
"M-Me...?"
"What I did to ya was unlikely, I shouldn't have done it knowing you'd be uncomfortable"
"I-"
"-And it would be my fault if I affected your sleep too"
"You didn't, I slept ok..."
"I have a hard time believing that"
"Just... I wanted you..."
"Huh?"
"I was thinking... If I slept with you, I'd feel... b-better... because you've always helped me when I-"

   The ninja looks down embarrassed, he regrets saying that, thinking Jesse would take down his offer or ruin their friendship.
    Silence takes over and Genjis heart beats fast getting really nervous, but he's not going to say anything to beg for an answer.
Jesse breaks the silence seeing Genji nervous,
    "Hun, if you really think I'm gonna-"
    Tears stream down the ninjas face scared to hear the rest of Jesse's answer. Leading to a Yes or No, he still is nervous about both answers. How could it change him?
    "Gen'... there's no need to cry"
Jesse pulls Genji over wrapping his arms around him.
Genji leans his head on Jesse's chest.
"I was gonna say if you really think I'd help, feel free to sleep with me, hun"
Genji sniffles,
"T-Thank you"
He says unevenly still sorta crying.
"C'mon darlin', I wanna see ya train"
"You were kinda late..."
"Hm"
"S-Sorry"
"Don't be"
They break the hug and look at each other for a while, Jesse breaking the silence again,
"Did ya eat?"
"I... had a little bit"
Jesse looks a Genjis hair, and strokes his finger through it,
"Your hairs dirty..."
"I know"
    Genji was known to have sensitive feelings at his scalp, he always like it when someone petted his hair.
Genji leaned forward at Jesse, laying his head on his chest again.
"You should wash yer hair Genji..."
"I will... Just... I like this"
"You can feel that?"
"Mm"
"How 'bout I wash your hair?"
"Your gonna get in the shower with me?"
"Well, ya how else would I do it"
"But I'm gonna be... naked"
"Just keep your armor on, ain't it waterproof?"
"Mm, true"
"Besides I'm only washing yer hair it's not like I'm gon' rub yer body or anythin'"
"That's a weird image, Jesse"
"Who knows, when you get a girlfriend or a boyfriend you'd do the same"
"J-Jesse!"
"Its the truth darlin', it'll happen"
"I guess"
"What if Reyes was gone and Moira was busy, and I was severely wounded, who would wash off all the blood if I couldn't?"
"M-Me...?"
"Right"
"Jesse that's-"
"-It wouldn't be the end of the world Genji"
"Just shut up and wash my hair then..."
"Alright..."
They head off to the bathroom and Genji stands looking at Jesse.
"I'll get the water going for ya, can you grab the stuff?"
"Y-Yeah..."
"Ya don't have to do this if ya don't wanna"
"I'm fine!"
"Alright"
Genji leaves grabbing the things, after some time he comes back.
"Alright, just stand in the water..."
"Your not afraid of getting your clothes wet?"
"No"
"Hm"

    Jesse pets through Genjis wet hair carefully. Jesse pulls Genji away from the water, he puts shampoo is his hand and scrubs Genjis hair. Genji tries not to lean his head forward, since he tends to do that when someone is petting his hair.
Jesse pushes him back in the water and all the suds wash away.
"Hopefully I didn't miss a spot"
"Its fine"
    Grabbing the conditioner he does the same thing except without scrubbing, he just pets his hair. And then he waits a little while.
"How's it feel?"
"It... feels nice..."
"Heh clean hair definitely feels better"
Pulling Genji back into the water again doing the final wash, he turns the water off and grabs the towel.
"Imma need ya to lean yer head by me"
Jesse dries Genjis hair and rubs off the rest of his body.
"Not as bad as you thought huh?"
"N-Not really"
"Do you use a blowdryer?"
"No, I just let the air dry it off"
"Alright"
Genji hugs Jesse putting his faceplate to his neck.
"G-Genji?"
"Thank you..."
"Yer welcome"
    Jesse would smile, Jesse couldn't tell if Genji was smiling but he knew there was a small crack of a smile on him.
Jesse yawns,
"I think I'm gonna take a nap, but before that I'm takin' a smoke break"
"C-Can I..."
"Sleep with me? Of course darlin'"
"Alright... I-I'll be in bed then"
Genji ran off to the room while Jesse took his break.

   Genji noticed something strange and pulled out a picture.
It looked like a Family...
He saw familiar members...
   He examined the picture for a while questionably.
Hearing footsteps, Genji places the picture down and sits on the bed.
Jesse opens the door grabbing dry clothes, he picks up his hoodie and tosses it to Genji.
    "I hardly wear it anymore, so I'm giving it to ya"
"Thanks... I guess"
I'm gonna change real quick... Just a sec"

   Genji lays on the bed, it smells strongly like cigars. Jesse exits the room and changes. Jesse comes back with his shirt off getting ready to put it back on.
   "Hey Gen, do you want my shirt off? I dont wanna just do it if you feel uncomfortable"
"Keep it on...?"
"Alright"
He puts his shirt on and lays next to Genji.
"I don't mind if you cuddle on me, just try not to wake me up"
"J-Jesse?"
"Yeah?"
"Nevermind"
"Mm, night"
Genji hugs Jesse and leans his head on his chest.
   Jesse, sounding asleep, Genji decides to trail at his scars.
He feels around at them carefully, enjoying the sight. Mapping every different type of scars and feeling them was somewhat his addiction. He liked scars plenty, but he's never touched that many before.

After some time Jesse wakes up and Genji's gone. Reyes knocks on the door.
"Come in"
"Jesse, get equipped, were going on a mission"
"What for?"
"We have to execute"
"Why now... It's late..."
"Get up, I hope your eye isn't shit when you kill him"
"Promise, just let me do somethin' real quick"
"Hurry up, Jesse"
Jesse walks over to Genji's room and knocks but he isn't there.
"Hm..."
He heads to the training grounds to pack up his ammo and flashbang's, before he's stopped by a familiar voice.
"Your awake, but leaving?"
"Mission, ain't gonna be fun"
"I wish you'd stay, your still in a bad condition"
"I'll be fine Gen"
"Please be..."
Genji leans over to hug Jesse, giving him a kiss on his cheek with his faceplate.
"G-Genji"
   With silence Genji walks off and Jesse heads on the dropship.
Genji being left alone searches around Jesse's room looking at everything. Clothes, Pictures, and even Whiskey bottles.
He even slept in Jesse's room hoping to get better sleep wishing he was with him.
