To Know Yourself ~McGenji~

<5>

  "Are you awake, Jesse?"
Jesse blinks to see Genji smiling down at him.

  "Ya I am, goodmornin.'"
Jesse sits up and stretches.
"That's nice."
"Your acting different, Genji."
"Different? Is that a problem?"
"No just... I kinda like it."
"Do you want anything?"
"I'm good."

  Jesse gets up and puts a shirt on walking out the room.
"Oh and by the way!"
"Hm?"
"Reyes said we can skip training, so that means I get to spend more time with you. I'd like to know you better, Jesse."
"Hehe alright, darlin.'"
"I'd like to stop by a few places."
"Like where at?"
"Oh, Just some new places."
"Genji,  I- you sure about this?"
"Your not worried about yer body or nothin?'"
"My body? N-No, since well your with me I'd feel better."
"Alright whateva you say.'"

They walked downtown, Genji wore the cowboys hoodie.

"What's your interests Genji?"
"Do you want to stop by a Ramen shop?"
"I uh yeah sure?"
"Genji are you really alright?"
He didn't hear him, he was too excited to get Fresh Ramen again like how he did when he was young.
"M-Maybe this isn't a good idea Gen-"
He's already handing in his money and sitting down at a table.
"I didn't know what you would like, so I just tried to make it as American as possible."
"Genji..."
"Is something wrong, Jesse?"
"It's just- your acting different and it scares me...  Your were so... So quiet and less enthusiastic."
"Jesse I-"

The waitress comes with a the bowls of Ramen smiling.

"Your bowls sirs."

Genji begins eating slowly,  they haven't spoken the entire time they were eating. He hasn't been complimenting his food or questioning Jesse.

They finish up their food and Genji quietly walks out heading back at base.

"Genji where are you going?"
"I'm sorry It didn't go the way you wanted, Jesse."
"... I"
"Maybe another day... "

Jesse walks away from Genji while he goes back to base. He heads over to bar and orders his favorite drink.

"Back again Jesse?"

A woman sits down and speaks to him.
Jesse sighs,

"Date didn't go the way I planned."
"Date?"
"Ye I guess so."

He takes a sip of his drink,

"I didn't feel like following him...  So I went here."
"What happened?"
"He was just acting too differently."
"And you complained about it?"
"Ye I-"
"Jesse..."
"Ugh, I know it was wrong, I should've-"
"Maybe you should go back to em.'"
"I-I dunno' he probably is quite upset at me."
"Maybe I reckon you do somethin' make him feel better."
"Mmm..  I think I have somethin' in mind.. "
Jesse turns over and looks at the arcade in the distance.
"Yeah..  Maybe I do. "
