Reader's P.O.V~

We're at the dining hall and start chatting while eating breakfast.
"So who's the lucky person?" Genji asks. I tell him what Mercy told me last night as we continue eating.
"Darn, so you don't even know who it is?" I shake my head.
"Don't have a clue, since I've been numb for so long these emotions are just starting to come back and it's difficult for me to tell who that special someone is."
"Isn't there a faster way to figure this out?" Mccree questions downing a couple of pieces of bacon.
"There might be a way." Genji mumbles. Mccree and I both turn to him curious about the idea.
"The Hanahanki Disease is one that originated in my homeland, I have seen and experienced its effects. The victim will cough when they reject their feelings for someone or when that someone rejects theirs."
"So?" I ask
"You're not coughing right now which means this person has already accepted your feelings, we know that because you don't even know your own." I look at him confused.
"What how does that work?" Genji sighs lightly.
"Basically you cannot reject your feelings if you don't know what they are yet." That makes sense Mccree pauses before continuing to eat.
"Well, we know that at least but how do we work out who the person is?" I say sipping my hot chocolate/tea/coffee/latte.
"That's where things get tricky since you don't know how you feel we can't really tell. But what we can do is narrow it down."
"How?" Mccree jumps in his mouth full of food.
"Since it started last night it must have been when you were thinking about someone and thought that you may reject that person or that person rejecting you."
"Well, I was about to go to bed when I started thinking about the mission debriefing we had earlier that day." After eating everything we pack everything and clean up before heading out.

"So that means that it could have been anyone in the briefing." Genji thinks quietly
"So there's you, me, Reyes, Moria & Reinhardt." Mccree recalling the people within the room.
"Well, I can guess that we can cross off Moria as (y/n) hasn't really liked her to begin with and I doubt she would now."
"Reinhardt?"
"I don't think so he's kind and fun-loving but he's a bit old, I don't think I'd go for him."
"So he's out that just leaves, Genji, me and boss."
"The commander? He reminds me of a strict father," I comment trying to think hard about the situation.
"He's gone." Genji and Mccree say at the same time.
"So that leaves me and Mccree, I have an idea."

"Umm Genji what are we doing in the training room?" I ask as we prep ourselves for a workout.
"Ah, good question. Well, you are currently in the first stage which is excitement and happiness, so by doing some training and making it fun, I thought it might stir up feelings." All three of us get ready for the first game. "Ready, GO!"

"Well, that was a bust," Mccree said while panting heavily. You haven't coughed up a single petal.
"Must be because of what Genji said can't reject what I don't know." I turn to the tired out men and laugh slightly. "Sorry, Genji it was worth a try though."
"Maybe it's not me or Mccree, tell me was there someone else you were thinking of?" I pant lightly and try to collect my thoughts on last night.
"If I go off the schedule I had yesterday we had the debriefing in the morning, had a check-up with Mercy, an archery lesson with Hanzo, helped D.Va with her mech, meditated with Zenyatta, weight training with Zarya and combat training with Tracer." I watch the boys slowly get up and we grab our things and start heading out of the training room heading for the showers.
"Well, Tracer and Zenyatta are out since one is an Omnic and the other is already taken." Genji starts crossing off people.
"Plus D.Va has an interest in Lucio, she's out as well," Mccree adds.
"And Angela?" Genji asks a little too lowly to be calm. I shake my head.
"She's more like a mum if anything." Genji breathes a sigh of relief.
"Then that just leaves Zarya and my brother."
"Well, their pretty easy to find, we'll meet back after we've freshened up so don't you worry about a thing pumpkin." I look away from Mccree pouting he's been calling me that for quite a while now. I wouldn't go to say that I didn't like it, it's the opposite at least I think it is...
