The Other Side (Overwatch story/SMUT)

Part 4 - Destiny

Mood: His theme - Toby Fox

Before the dawn broke, Hanzo packed up his stuff and left. He and Jesse had spent the night in separate rooms and he had made sure to leave before anyone had woken up.

As the sun rose there was a knock on Jesse's door and with hope in his voice he replied for the person to enter. He had had a restless night of nightmares and anxiety.

Genji entered the room and met Jesse's eyes. The light in them dimmed as Genji shook his head.

Jesse turned around, facing the wall and putting a pillow over his head.

Genji felt for him. Although it was painful for him as well, losing his long lost brother that he was so close to getting back into his life, he tried to stay strong for his friend.

He laid down beside Jesse and turned him over on his back. He wiped some tears from Jesse's face and then hugged him while resting his head on his shoulder.

Jesse sighed and put his arm around Genji and held him tight.

It was a lot to take in. Everything had happened so fast and just as quickly... it was gone. Through the pain, Jesse still felt grateful for finally having reunited with his best friend again. The circumstances could have been better though.

He laid there and thought about all the things they had been through together.

"You know what, Jesse?" Genji said after a while.

"What?" Jesse replied and looked down at him.

"First Gabriel and now Hanzo. One literally fucks you up completely and the other one slices your best friend in half," he said, raising an eyebrow. "You really have a horrible taste in men."

Jesse couldn't help but laugh. Genji started laughing as well and rolled over on his back next to Jesse.

"And don't forget...," Jesse said and smirked at him. "I have a best friend who cut my fucking arm off!"

"Ha-ha, you sure do!" Genji chuckled. "You really have impressive people skills, Jesse."

Jesse wiped a tear from the corner of his eye and ran his fingers through his hair.

"So what should we do now?" Genji continued once he had calmed down from laughing.

"Well, it's pretty clear that your brother wants nothing more to do with me," Jesse concluded as he reached for a cigar.

He sat up and lit it.

"Maybe it's time to head back to the U.S. again. You should come with me," he said and took a smoke.

He started coughing immediately and Genji looked at him with concern.

"The air here... it doesn't work for me," Jesse said once he had stopped coughing. "I can't stay here. You can bring your little monk friend along as well if you like. We can start over. Find somewhere safe."

He took another smoke.

"The countryside is really nice...," he continued and laid back down in bed with the cigar in his hand. "The fresh air, sleeping outside under the stars."

"Mmm...," Genji said, trying to hide a smile.

"I have some old friends out there too you know. They were up to no good when we were younger but maybe they grew up and got better. Could be fun."

"Mmm... sure could..."

"What's up with that smug smile on your face?" Jesse asked, looking somewhat annoyed. "I am serious!"
