- Even though Overwatch has been released for two or three years already, I didn't start playing till about a month ago. My favourite hero is Genji...though it took a lot of practice for me to learn how to use the cyborg ninja effectively. If not him, then it would be McCree, Ana, or Amelie on a good day.

- I'm still relatively new to the Overwatch universe and its lore but the basics of every character are mostly understood. Then I heard about some of the pairings going around and the stories written about them. Given my numerous failures in writing anything new, I thought to hell with it and decided to try out a Overwatch story with my favourite character of the game.

Enjoy.

...

Genji was tired. Having just confronted his brother at Hanamura, their reunion ended up being more emotionally exhausting than he realized. Now he was back on board the Orca as it made the return trip to the watchpoint in Gibraltar.

Winston had been kind enough to lend him the ship when it wasn't needed by any of the other Overwatch agents who answered the recall about a month ago. Though their numbers were a pale comparison to what their organization had once been, it didn't stop them from taking on the new but familiar threats the world was facing once again.

Genji exited the ship once it landed at the watchpoint. Given how late it was, he assumed most of the other agents had already turned in for the night. What he didn't expect was to be suddenly hugged from behind.

"Genji! Welcome back!"

The cyborg ninja chuckled as Tracer blinked in front of him. "Hello, Ms. Oxton. Shouldn't you be asleep? It's well past midnight already."

"Woke up from a nightmare." She muttered before a grin broke out. "And what's with the Ms. Oxton? Just call me Lena as you always do."

"Force of habit. My apologies."

"No worries, luv...so how are you feeling?"

Genji knew what she was referring to. "I am unharmed. Though my brother and I did fight, we eventually shared some words in the end...I just hope he listened to my words."

Tracer gently held both of his hands. "You did your best. I'm sure he'll come around."

"Let us hope so. For now, we'll just have to wait and see."

"Sounds like a plan." Lena said before she suddenly looked nervous. "U-um, Genji?"

"Yes?"

"I-if you want, you could sleep in my room tonight. It's a lot closer...and I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep again unless you're there."

Tracer didn't mean that in the romantic sense as she was already in love with Emily. But Genji was her best friend and they were very comfortable with each other. On occasions like this where her nightmares were so haunting, she always asked the cyborg ninja if he could stay with her.

Lena thought of Genji as the older brother she never had and his presence provided her a sense of relief and security topped only by Emily.

"...Was your nightmare that bad?"

She quietly nodded and he wrapped his arm around her. "Do not fear, Lena. I will stay with you."

Tracer leaned on Genji's shoulder as they made their way back to her room. Guiding her to the bed, Lena laid down first before the cyborg ninja joined her.

"Thank you, luv. You're the best." She whispered, holding Genji like one would hold a teddy bear.

"Of course, Lena. Now sleep...it is late."

The cyborg ninja made sure his friend was asleep first before he attempted to do the same. Given his tired state, it didn't take long for Genji to fall into a deep comfortable slumber.

...

He had always been an early riser and today was no different. A sense of relief filled Genji's heart when he saw Lena sleeping with a peaceful smile. Running a hand through her hazel hair, the cyborg gently moved away from the tight grip she had around his body.

Not wanting her to get sick from the slight chill in the air, the cyborg ninja took the time to cover Lena with the blanket before he quietly exited her room.

He had only taken a few steps away when his stomach suddenly growled. Partaking in some breakfast seemed like a good idea but there was something he wanted to check in on first. Fortunately, his destination was on the way to the mess hall.

As the doors closed behind him, Genji took a look around the medical bay. He wasn't surprised to see the numerous cups of coffee carelessly piled up in one of the garbage cans. Paperwork was scattered everywhere and while he wasn't stupid by any standard, the medical terms and scientific notes written on them were a bit too advanced for him to understand beyond their basic meaning.

Genji smiled behind the mask when the purpose of his coming here was found peacefully sleeping away in each other's arms. Fareeha and Mercy...the two women whom he was dating since the return to Overwatch.

"Angela?" Genji whispered, caressing her beautiful face.

The Swiss doctor instinctively smiled at his touch as she stirred awake. She was still half asleep but seeing her boyfriend's face woke her up quickly.

"Liebling!" Mercy whispered, throwing her arms around Genji. "Are you okay? When did you come back?"

"I am fine, Angela. I just returned last night. I would've come back here but Tracer was in need of my assistance."

"Is she alright?"

The cyborg ninja held her close. "Ms. Oxton is unharmed...but last night she suffered a nightmare that was haunting enough to disturb her rest. Lena asked if I could stay with her until she fell asleep again and I couldn't say no."

A pair of arms wrapped around his waist from behind, making the ninja smile as the individual pressed herself into him more firmly.

"You're a kind man." Fareeha mumbled sleepily, resting her head on Genji's warm back. "It's one of the many reasons why we love you."

"Good morning, Pharah. Did you sleep well?"

"Okay but it just wasn't the same without you here...how did things go with your brother?"

"Better than I expected. We fought at first but our conflict ceased before it got out of hand and we talked in the end. It'd be foolish to believe Hanzo will come around right away...but in time, I know he'll understand."

Angela and Fareeha pecked a kiss on Genji's face before they pulled him down onto the bed.

"We're just glad you're alright." Mercy said with a happy grin. "But for now, you shall take it easy. Doctor's orders."

Pharah nodded. "She's right. I'll get us some breakfast and we can all eat together."

Genji chuckled as she left for the mess hall. Spending quality time with his girlfriends was something he would never say no to. Sometimes the cyborg ninja couldn't believe how lucky he was to be in such a unusual but happy relationship.

The Swiss doctor giggled at the cute expression on her boyfriend's face. "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing..." Genji captured Angela's lips for a loving kiss, much to her delight. "I love you."

...

- And thus finishes my first released attempt at a new story. I don't think any of you would want to read my previous tries at the latter...they're not that great. The title and summary sucks, I know.

- This was really a one-shot but depending on your responses, I wouldn't mind expanding on this.
