Overwatch High AU

Aftermath

*Ashe PoV* *this takes right after school, when Hana and Ashe pass each other, on their way to their dorms* 

"Hana!" I said, spotting my cheerful friend, talking to Hanzo. "Oh. Bad time?" 

"No, no. It's fine," she said, kissing him. 

"I'm guessing the date went well?" I assumed. She blushed and smiled, then said "Yep!" 

"So are you guys like actually dating now, or what?" Before they could get a chance to answer, Brigitte came up behind us. "Hana!" She said, pulling out her phone. "What Brig?" Hana asked. 

"This is going VIRAL. How the fuck did someone even capture this?!" Brigitte said, out of breath, showing her a video of her and Hanzo making out, with the title 'Hana Song: Fresh "single" movie actor? Not anymore'. "Ariana...." Hana growled. 

"Yeah that's her account," I confirmed, looking at the account who posted the original video. "I swear to god I will KILL her. I've let the other ones slide. Not this time. Where is she?!"

"I thought I told that bitch to stop," Hanzo said after looking at the video, with enough venom in his voice and enough anger in his eyes to kill a person.  

"Hanzo, you know she's not going to listen to that. She's the daughter of the headmistress, remember? She's entitled to a lot of shit that we aren't. Miss 'High and Mighty' of the Vaswani family. Doesn't get into trouble? Gets to do whatever she wants? Including bully her classmates with no punishment? Gets to make people's lives miserable? Doesn't give a shit if she hurts anyone?" I reminded. 

"When will she leave Hana alone....?" 

"When she stops breathing. Am I allowed to speed that process up? Please?" 

"Ashe, no. Please. Don't," Hana said, placing her hand on my shoulder, calming me down. I took a deep breath, and calmed down. 

*fast forward to the following morning* *Hana's PoV*

"Hana, are you sure you'll be okay with going to school today?" Brigitte asked me. 

"Yes, Brig, I'll be okay," I replied, finishing my hair. I was wrong. I was so wrong..... 

As soon as I stepped out of my dorm, I felt everyone's eyes on me, and I heard the whispers. Brigitte quickly rushed to my side, attempting to shield me from their gaze. 

"Brigitte, it's fine. I'll be fine," I told my friend, brushing her off and walking to class. I was actually fine, not caring about anyone's gaze, listening to my music mouthing the words "They keep talking, I keep walking! I love myself! Not shy not me! 말해 봐 다 어서 다 Cuz I'm not shy! (Tell me all of it, all of it, cuz I'm not shy) I wanna be me, me, me!" (ICY, DALLA DALLA, Wannabe, and Not Shy by ITZY y'all check it out). I was totally fine until I caught sight of Hanzo. My whole heart seemed to melt, my knees weak, my heart beating. I wanted to rush to him, and never let him go. No. The consequence was going to be too heavy; more negative publicity, less jobs, more haters. If I embraced the boy I love now, my whole career would be over, before it even started. I didn't have to say anything. He came up to me by my side. "Hana, what's wrong?" He asked, worry in his voice. I attempted at a soft smile, and lied. "Nothing. I'm alright. Really, I- I am." 

"You are not alright. Even though I've only really known you for a short while, I can tell when you're not alright. Where is that cheerful, carefree, easygoing, sweet girl that was here yesterday? The Hana I know?" He said, as tears started slowly forming in my eyes. 

"What happened, Hana?" 

"I- I don't think that I should really be handling a relationship. With my career building, I really don't think I should really be risking getting negative publicity like the type I'm getting now," I explained. "Hanzo, it's not you," I quickly added, after seeing his gaze drop and his eyes darken, full of regret and sadness.
