So here's another chapter, and this one is two weeks late from my deadline. But on the bright side- I mean, on the least bleak side, it's a much longer chapter and it not a month late. Does that make it better? You be the judge.

In other news, there's a series of Visual Novel called Sono Hanabira; it's a personal favorite of mine. It's so cute, funny, and very charming. After a long time, they released episode eleven translated into English. I recommend you check it out and tell me what you think. I'm thinking of making a story inspired by one of my favorite couples from the VN to an Overwatch fiction, so look out for that.

Of course, I'm going to write that after this story. I'm not abandoning this story. The next chapter is going to be shorter, so hopefully, it'll be released sooner.

Thank you so much for taking the time reading this story and being patient with me. Thank you so much for taking the time reading this story and being patient with me. As well as, Merry Kinder Surprise day. Unless you're living in America, in that case, Merry... AR-15 day?

Truth And Consequence

Hana wearily stared at the dark brown whirlpool that presented behind the glass case. She found it difficult to maintain focus while at the same time grasping a hold of her balance. Indeed, between her sorrow back and the crumbs in her eyes, she was willing to drop dead on the floor. However, It was easier said than done.

The machine abruptly rang loudly against Hana's ear. With an aching moan, she reached forward and poured the bitter drink down her mug. The strong scent instantly caught her off guard, and no doubt the taste was going to hit harder.

She held back her whimpers and slowly sipped on the unpleasant beverage. It was worse than she thought. She almost gagged on the poisonous drink. The coffee practically burnt through her virgin taste buds.

"Didn't know you were into coffee," Lena commented in her usual chipper tone.

Moaning unpleasantly, Hana turned away to meet with Lena on the dining table. "I'm not."

Lena instantly caught the scrambled tone of her voice. "Rough night I presume." Wondering at loud, she took a sip of her drink.

Hana didn't reply right away, in fact, she wasn't sure she wanted to start up a conversation. The quietest sounds felt like giant bells inside her mind. "Kind of,"

Nodding in response, Lena fixed her friend with a concerning look. "You don't sound okay. Is there something in your mind?"

At first, Hana shook her head but added a sigh afterward. She dragged her arm out and rested her chin on her palm for support. "Lena, can I ask you something, friend to friend?"

Lena lifted her brow before putting her drink away. "Of course, love. You can ask me anything. Is there something wrong?"

"I mean, sort of, it's about this thing that's been bothering me, but not like really` bothering." Hana attempted to come up with words, but only gibberish was let out. She released a groan before calming the storm inside her scalp. "What I'm trying to say is, you used to live in a shared apartment, right?"

It took a few moments for the brunette to pick up the right words from Hana's messy sentence. She recalled back to her previous days before nodding. "Yes, I've shared flat in the past. Why do you ask?"

"Right, well, I have this friend. Her name is, um…" Hana bit down on the insides of her cheeks as she forgot to come up the most basic premise for her little backstory. "Her name is La~na? Yes, her name is Lana."

The Brit nearly choked on her drink. Coughing the leftovers out of her throat, she planted a tender smile on her face and rapidly nodded. "Yes, do go on."

Hana halted momentarily, making sure that Lena was alright. The sudden gag was concerning at first, but Lena assured her with a gleeful smile, too glee in fact. "Right, so my friend, she has an apartment which she shares with a roommate."

The hazel eyes on Lena's face grew twice their size; same with her grin. "You don't say." She replied with a cheerful giggle. "What seems to be the problem then?"

"Well, I have- I mean my friend has issues with her roommate." Hana quickly corrected her statement, hoping Lena didn't catch on her white lie. "She's annoying, and never listen to her."

Lena bit down on her bottom lips, trying her hardest to contain her enthusiasm. "I see. Did your friend try to talk to her?"

"Like she ever listens to me." Hana annoying muttered under her breath before shaking her head. "She tried, but she won't listen. She's very stubborn."

"You don't say," Lena commented dryly, the smile never leaving her face. "So why doesn't she move out, I'm sure she can find other flats with more respectful people."

Hana dug down her mind, trying to come up with an excuse but came out empty handed. If she's going get help, she needed to share just a bit more. "Technically, it's not a shared` apartment, per say. More like she trespassed and now crashes there."

Both of Lena's brunette brows rose high. Expressing a confused look, she bluntly asked, "Is she there against her will?"

Well, she blackmailed me and is threatening Overwatch. "Nothing of the sorts." She let out a hot sigh and leaned back in her chair.

"So why does she still want her around? It's her flat, and she can make her leave anytime she wanted to." Lena took another sip of her coffee before adding, "Is there a reason why she still hangs around?"

In Hana's mind, the question didn't feel directed towards Lana; it felt like it was addressing her. "I'm not sure." The motivation behind letting Sombra roam free in her life wasn't blackmailing, that ship sailed a long time ago. If Hana weren't biased towards Sombra, she would comment that she wasn't that awful, if only she held back regarding the filtering and the teasings.

It wasn't to say that all their times together had been a torment. Having a player two was some of the best times Hana spent gaming. Not to mention the way she aided her sustaining her emotions. Sombra also seems to care about Hana on some levels. After all, that would explain how she magically woke up in her bed this morning.

Sombra hadn't brought Overwatch ever since she arrived, so why was Hana still using that idea as an excuse to put distance between them. She doubted Sombra's true intentions were to harm the organization unless she had been lying to her this whole time.

"Hana, are you alright?" Lena's sudden call was enough to burst her deep thought bubble.

Hana's slightly jumped from her seat. Lena was giving her a very concerned face. Just how long was she thought to process. "Yes, I'm okay." Hana nodded as she got up from her seat. "You gave me a lot to think about, thank you for helping me- I mean, helping my friend, Laura! The one I'm about to talk to, which is Lara. About her problem. Not my problem obviously."

Lena tried her best to contain her amusement as Hana awkwardly leaped out of the dining room, but not before clumsily knocking her chair on the ground. Once she left, Lena burst out giggling hysterically.

It was hard to decide which one was the most entertaining, the fact that Hana didn't realize her lie was so obvious, or the fact that she just earned fifty dollars.

Letting out another heated sigh, Hana walked into the hanger of the headquarters, holding a set of toolkits with her. Her lips dropped from a straight line to a frown as her eyes landed on her phone. It was barely past sunset, unlike what Hana hoped. Nevertheless, she was in the hanger; she might as well tinker with her mech.

"Miss Song, this is an unusual surprise," The voice of the AI, Athena, echoed in the empty compartment. "I didn't expect to find you here at this hour."

Taking a bite of her cheeks, she maintained her calm nature as she responded in a chipper voice, "Don't worry, I still have sometime before bedtime."

The AI let out what resembled a chuckle, or at least attempted to, "What brings you to the hanger, if I may ask?"

The gamer stopped her movement and placed the kit down next to her giant pink robot. "Nothing much, just adding some fixes to my mech." Adding a little chuckle at the end, Hana knocked the main board the mech, exposing it wires and circuits.

"Odd," Athena simply commented moments after Hana finished her statement. "I was not aware of that your mecha was in need of repairment."

Hana's ear perked up while faintly turning the screws of the motherboard. She briefly swallowed the lump in her throat and answered Athena. "I mean, it won't hurt to double check. Who knows, maybe it'll end up saving my life."

"Is there something wrong, Miss Song?" Athena abruptly asked out of the blue, tone hinting with concern. "I'm detecting some unusual shifts in your voice."

The little Korean stopped her small act of being productive. She released a groan as the guilty expression formed on her face. "Something like that," She muttered loud enough for Athena to hear.

"I figured much," Athena worryingly deadpanned. Even for a mere voice on a screen, her voice somehow managed to come out in a warm motherly tone. "Why don't you tell me what's on your mind."

Did she have a second option, most likely not? While Lena provided better vision to her situation, she also opened a door for some many more questions. Questions she still hasn't managed to find answers. She felt comfortable partially sharing her secret with Lena because she trusted her. It wasn't a good idea to let everyone inside her small circle.

Then again, she did trust Sombra, on some bases. However, that didn't mean she was finally opening up to her. And that's been eating her up. If she trusted her, then why hasn't she fully accepted her? The teases and her being the center of her jokes was not a good excuse. It's just something she told herself. "Athena," She spoke frantically. "Do you think that you shouldn't give someone a shot just because of who they represent?"

For a minute, no voice came. Hana would've thought that Athena left if she hadn't responded a little later. "I'm sorry, I don't think I'm the right person to answer this question."

The frown dragged itself across her face as her ears somberly dropped. "Oh, I see."

"But if I could, I'd say that you should do what you think is right. Not based on what others might think." Athena shortly responded as she detected the troubled expression on Hana's face.

A small smile made its way to the corner of her lips. It wasn't bad advice, something that could help uncover her real emotions. "Thanks, Athena, I think that helped me a bit."

Athena playfully chuckled, feeling satisfied with the response she received. "I'm glad I could help. May I ask, what it is that you're seeking?" She wondered curiously, sentiments resembling humans.

The heavyweight on her shoulder seemed to increase its size. She can't keep on avoiding it only for it to strike back with a vengeance. She eventually had to let it out at some point. And so, with a determined sigh, Hana spoke, "It's a little embarrassing, so you have to keep it a secret."

"Of course I will," Almost instantly, Athena replied with a dry tone.

She started it, and now she was going to say it. "There's this... person. I have known them for quite awhile, but I don't really` know them. They l know almost everything about me, but I don't. I want to know more about them but they keep dodging my questions, and it makes it hard for me to trust them." Taking a moment to exhale her heated emotions, she briefly resumed, "And I want to believe them; I do. But they barely give me any reason not to doubt them. Does that make any sense?"

A few moments of silence carried on before Anthena responded softly, "I do understand. It must've been hard to carry that burden for so long."

Hana nodded to practically no one, but then quickly smiled happily to herself. It did feel nice to be able to share her problem with someone. "It has, but I'm feeling better now. Usually, my emotions get the best of me, and I can't seem to get through them unless I'm frustrated."

"I don't think that's healthy for you, Miss Song," Athena commented, hinting concern in her voice.

Hana anxiously chuckled to herself before adding, "Yeah, they keep telling me that. But I can't seem to find another way to get through them, and it's been bothering me all this time."

"Is this why you've avoided your room all day?"

Hana bit down on her lips, feeling guilty to leave Sombra alone without an explanation. Or so she thought if her eyes didn't suddenly grow in confusion. "Wait a minute, how did you know I haven't been in my room today?"

There was a brief pause before Athena replied, "Miss Song, I hope you haven't forgotten that I'm attached to this division, meaning I monitor every corner of this building."

Hana's brows crossed as she quickly jumped to her feet on full alert. "No, because Athena has no clearance to go anywhere near my room, I made sure of it." So this was bad. Not only this was not Athena, but she had been expressing her feeling to a complete stranger. Someone managed to hijack Athena. That was not possible.

Unless.

Her blood slowly boiled, rage clouding her mind. "You can come out now," She loudly hissed, her voice was fueling with fury.

"Miss Song, I don't understand-"

"If you don't come out this instant, I'll never` forgive you." The shout, mixed with so many negative emotions seemed to affect as Athena suddenly became quiet.

As the room fell into silence, a blighting flash of light appeared in front of Hana. The purple pixelated beam took the shape of a figure. And soon, Sombra was standing in front of Hana, meeting her with an awkward expression. "Hey bunn- I mean, Hana."

Even though she tried to play it off with her signature chuckle, Hana rage overpowered it. Her arms crossed over her chest as she glared daggers at Sombra.

"B-before you begin, let me explain this," Sombra spoke in a shaky tone, her attempt at smile jittered into a frown. "You're in as much fault as I am!" Claiming a bold accusation, she pointed towards Hana and went on. "You've left me in your room alone ever since this morning. Not even a thank you for caring all the way down in the middle of the night."

Whatever play on a double-edged sword Sombra was trying, it didn't seem to faze Hana. If anything, her frown sharpened, and her eyes blazed with flames.

"And you accuse me of doing something wrong while you practically forced into this situation." The hacker's entire charisma depleted once she noticed Hana's facial expression worsen with each word that uttered. Sombra bit down on her tongue, feeling the desperation taking over her mind. "I'm sorry, amiga. I was lonely when you didn't return, and I thought you were mad me!"

Her entire body jumped in shock as Sombra lunged herself onto her, locking in her in a tight embrace. Hana's eyes grew wide before pushing Sombra away, or at least tried to. "G-get off me!"

"No, Hana hates me now. I don't want you to be angry." Sombra wailing echoed through the hanger. She then whimpered into Hana's jacket, staining it with tears.

Prying her arms wasn't an easy task, but eventually, Hana managed to shove her away before Sombra snot dripped. Their eyes met, with Sombra's corner's dripping with tears. She was overreacting, but not heartbroken as tried to show it. "I'm n-not mad, okay?"

Sombra sniffled loudly, an act that made Hana show a disgusted face. "You're not?" She seemed to have calmed down, but not by a long shot.

Hana sighed in exhaustion, feeling as if her mind was about to overheat. "No, I'm not." Reaching a hand up, she massaged the temples from an excruciating headache. "In fact, I think I'm glad you tricked me to open up."

"Huh?" Sombra raised up a confusing brow, completely forgetting her tragic act. She was sure Hana must have been tricking her because this was a once in a lifetime statement for D. Va. "A-and why is that?"

The gamer didn't reply right away. Instead, Hana fixed Sombra with a grin, one that was unsettling for the hacker, before grasping both of her hands. "You'll see. Let's get out of here, what do you say?"

As Hana giggled, a wave of shivers ran down Sombra's spine. Hana was definitely` planning something mischievous. Perhaps this was` the straw that broke the camel's back. Hana's most likely is leading her to her demise. With an awkward chuckle, Sombra attempted to free herself from Hana, but her grip proved to be too firm. "How about we stay here. You know, somewhere where they could find my body."

As Hana reached her hand up, Sombra's entire body fidgeted in fear. "Oh Sparkles, you say the funniest things." She playfully slapped her cheeks a few times while giggling. "Now let's go."

Before Sombra could protest, Hana led her by the arm towards the doors and then outside the hanger. Sombra was open to any passing pedestrians, and Hana was calm as ever. Something must've snapped inside Hana's mind when she pulled that stunt. Her mouth slowly, stuttering her words carefully, "Hana, are you sure you're okay?"

Hana turned around towards her, fixing her with a smile of glee. "Of course I'm alright. In fact, I've never felt better."

That smile was nerve wrecking for Sombra. She painfully gulped as she followed Hana around the watchpoint, the same watchpoint that is occupied by ninjas, soldiers, and a giant monkey. Apparently, words weren't getting through Hana right now, which meant she needed to take action as soon as opportunity struck. But she couldn't dare` hurt Hana. It's going to hurt you, more than it's going to hurt me.`

"We're here," Hana's sudden joyful tone snapped Sombra back to reality. They were standing in front of their` room, and Hana wasted no time shoving Sombra into the dorm, away from the rest of the world.

Sombra wasn't sure if she should sigh in relief or be terrified. Swallowing her lump, she slowly turned around to see Hana digging into her closet. Her back was facing her, so this was the perfect chance for Sombra to strike. Except that her body refused to move. She was petrified.

However, it didn't matter. Hana quickly turned around once she found what she was looking for, a black wardrobe. Sombra sighed in relief, thinking for a second Hana was looking for something to end her life. Me and my silly imagination.`

Without saying a word, Hana headed towards the extra small room at the corner which served as a bathroom. "I'll be right out." Hana cooed gleefully and winked at Sombra before stepping in and closing the door.

Sombra's heart started beating rapidly. The anticipation of what might come next was killing her. Her heart beat twice as fast as the word 'kill' crossed her mind. She needed to escape, but she couldn't. No, not because she couldn't, but she wouldn't. The thought of abanding Hana was a heinous move, even by Sombra's standards.

The door of the bathroom open and Sombra's heart sank deep into her chest. However, fear wasn't the factor this time. The person who was standing in front of her was almost unrecognizable. It could not have been Hana. Her smooth brown mane was now brushed gold. The gothic purple and black dress covered her with a new layer of personality. Even the simple gloves breathed a new life into her.

Sombra couldn't have believed it, but it happened. Hana somehow managed to get the jump on her, and she was now dead. If this was not heaven, Sombra didn't know what it was.

"Well, got nothing to say?" Hana interrupted the train of her thoughts with an irritated tone. She placed her hand on her hips and shot Sombra with an annoyed expression, seeming to expect a reaction. "Cat got your tongue."

"Conejita," Sombra spoke, her voice heating up with ecstasy. Her lips somehow managed to forget how to smile and what came out was awkward lip movement. "You look... I mean- just, wow."

Hana gave her a half smile before shrugging. "Well, that's a first time. I could swear you would've jumped on me by now." As soon as Hana spoke those words, a quick jitter from Sombra's body delivered her a mental message. Putting on a devilish grin, she slowly walked towards the hacker, eyes piercing her mind. "I'll tell you what, since I'm feeling a bit generous today, I'll give you ten seconds."

The brown orbs of Sombra grew twice their sizes, coloring her tanned skin pale. "T-ten seconds?"

With the grin glued to her face, Hana gave a half nod. "Ten seconds."

It's official; she was` in heaven. Carefully raising her hand, she rested it on Hana's smooth cheeks. The mere touch made her heart explode with joy. It was as if she was fiddling with a cute doll, except nothing came as adorable as Hana. Bringing her second hand, she caressed her soft skin as their gaze stayed locked together. "I could get used to this-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Hana interjected her and bit her index, forcing Sombra to retract instantly. "I said ten` seconds," Hana shot her with a cold voice.

The bite wasn't too much to cause any physical harm, but it did leave a mental scar and an unsatisfied sensation. "Conejita, why you're acting so mean right now?" Sombra whimpered unhappily. "You're hurting me on an unimaginable level right now."

"It sucks, doesn't it?" Hana held Sombra's hand and laid a kiss on her 'wounded' finger. As she met her with a smirk, she noticed Sombra's face heating up. "We haven't even started. The night is young."

Whatever Hana was doing, it was worse than seeing her angry. The excessive amount of confusion was causing Sombra's brain to go haywire. It was the first time she was witnessing this version of Hana, and it was terrifying her. "You're doing to kill me aren't you."

"Even better," A few gentle taps on the cheek later, Hana released her hand and stepped away. "I would ask you to put something on, but I don't think it would be necessary." Taking a few careful steps backward, Hana punched the code of her door and stepped outside. "Also, please wipe your nose. I don't want to see blood on your cute face."

Cute?!` Sombra placed her fingers on her lips and saw the crimson liquid flowing down. She didn't remember getting hit, although, at this point, it wouldn't be a surprise. It was very premature to fall for those hypnotic eyes, and she could only blame herself. The most likely case scenario was probably a heatstroke. What are you saying Sombra, a heatstroke?`

"Are you coming or not?"

The calling of Hana's voice snapped her little thought bubble. Rapidly shaking her head, she hesitantly walked out of the room. Worst case scenario, she was going to get shot by an Overwatch agent. Slightly worse case scenario, she was going to get shot by Hana.

Somehow they did it. Somehow, someway, the two succeeded to exit the watchpoint without being noticed. They even managed to 'borrow' a small jet, led by Hana, which was more concerning for Sombra. The whole flight none of them peeped a word. Or rather, Sombra was drowning in confusion and anxiousness.

The jet soon landed just outside a nearby city and Hana wasted no time dragging Sombra around the town. The duo came to a halt in front of a building with Hana still holding on to Sombra by the hand.

"You were right; I wasn't fully honest." Hana suddenly addressed her in a dry tone.

Gulping lightly, Sombra attempted to sneak her hand away, but Hana's grip proved to be too tight. "So you're` trying to kill me."

Hana let out a sigh and faced Sombra, an expression indicating annoyance. "No, I'm not. Please drop the killing subject."

Sombra nodded in return, only half believing her. "Okay, so why did you kidnap me."

Groaning loudly, Hana thought about hitting Sombra, just enough to calm her frustration, but scraped the idea away. "Being frustrated all the time isn't going to help me get through you. But since every method, I came up with failed. I decided to try another angle."

"And what could that be?" The hacker fixed her with a brow and a curious look.

Hana briefly paused, taking a bite of her bottom lips. "I thought maybe I should try a role reversal and see where that got me." She paused again, following it up with a small chuckle before continuing, "I'm not very good at flirting. Usually, I'm the one who gets hit one."

Sombra's jaw stuttered before she got a hold of it. "That's what that was? I seriously thought I broke you and you were going to kill me."

Replying with an awkward frown, Hana blushed lightly, "That bad?"

For the first time in the past few hours, Sombra was finally able to relax. Just as she thought, Hana, cutest as a button, was incapable of turning into anything other than adorable. "Oh bunny, you had me back then. No joke, I was so anxious, that I thought I was about to die." It felt good to be able to laugh again.

"Y-yeah? Well, now you know how I feel." Just like a coursing river, everything was back into its place. Hana returned to her old self again.

Sombra wanted to reach for a hug but thought the timing was currently bad. "So what's with the dolly dress?"

Releasing another sigh, she looked up at the hacker and placed her hand on her hip. "Well, seeing how we're going to have dinner, I thought it would be best to put on a disguise."

As the heat rose up to her face, Sombra gripped the collar of her jacket. "Conejita, are you asking me out on a date?" followed by an awkward laugh.

The gamer slightly opened her mouth but closed it quickly. "Call it whatever you want. Because what's going to happen afterward, is what I'm truly after."

She held up her burning face, trying to get ahold of her emotion. "H-Hana please, this is too embarrassing." However, the tone of her voice didn't match her words.

With a roll of her eyes, Hana eagerly pushed Sombra into the restaurant. The inside didn't fail to look as facey as possible. She took the lead over Sombra and approached the first servant she saw.

The young adult smiled at them and addressed them in a friendly tone. "Welcome, table for two I take." She quickly wrote something down on her notepad before adding, "And would that be singles or couple?"

Hana swiftly took hold of Sombra's arm in a firm grip. "Definitely couple." She replied the smile and added a giggle along with it.

"Okie Dokie." The waitress lightly chuckled before guiding them further deep into the building. Once they got to their destination, the two took their seat around the table. The waitress, however, remained around the two. "Have I seen you somewhere before?" She asked with a puzzled expression.

As soon as she pointed her finger at Hana, her skin turned pale. She was sure that her disguise would fool almost everyone, but that proved to be too real to wish.

Fortunately, Sombra immediately stepped in and responded, "Yeah, we get that a lot. She has one of those familiar faces." waving her hand and laughing along, hoping the waitress would buy it.

After a few moments in deep thoughts, the waitress nodded as she chuckled with Sombra, "I guess she does. If you need anything, don't hesitate."

"Will do," She twirled her fingers towards the hostess and watched her as she took her leave away from the table. Once they were away from eyesight, Sombra turned her attention towards Hana and fixed her with a grin, "So bunny`, what's the special occasion? Is it our anniversary, or perhaps, gasp, are we finally tying up the knot?"

Listening to Sombra giggle like there was no tomorrow, wasn't easy on Hana's mind. But rest assured, she learned to embrace it. "Couples get ten percent discount." Ever so bluntly, she replied in a dry tone. "But after all, isn't this what you wanted, a date with me?"

"Did I now?" Sombra bit the tip of her index and flashed Hana with a mischevious smirk. "Doesn't mean you should deny that you're not enjoying it as well."

"Maybe," Her hands smoothly moved over her face before she rested her chin on her palm. Shutting her eyes midway just enough to meet with Sombra's brown orbs, Hana playfully cooed, "Or maybe I'm just playing the long game."

Almost instantly Sombra responded to her with a smirk while gazing back at her. "I highly doubt that," As soon as she snickered, Hana's half smile lifted into a full grin. No matter how much Sombra attempted to seduce her with her charismatic eyes, Hana didn't flinch. "You're not bluffing, are you?" Putting her body in a relaxed state, she pushed herself back from the table, putting distance from Hana's eyes. "Alright then, you said you wanted to trust me more, correct? So how can I earn your heart m'lady?"

She never failed to impress Hana with her carefree attitude. Even in a public place, Sombra always had her cheerful personality no matter the circumstances. Then again, Hana might have the one for blame with the supposed 'date' idea.

Focus!` She rapidly shook her head from all the distracting thoughts and focused her attention on Sombra. "I'm not going to repeat my old habit of questions since I know you'll find a way to curve away. So instead, I'll be blunt." Mustering a dry, deadpan voice, she glared at her and stated, "Who are you?"

The happy expression on Sombra face melted into a pool of confusion. She didn't reply right away. The odd movement of her mouth, aiming to form a word was discomforting for her. "What do you want to know about me? I'm a hacker, who happens to be working for Talon, and I'm the bad guy."

Hana shook her head in dismissing and went on, curious but mostly determined. "I'm not talking about what you do; I want to know who` you are? Where did you come from, why all the augments, what's your favorite color, that's what I want."

"You already know that I was an orphan. Mostly because it helps me hack better, among other things. And are you seriously asking me that?" Even though Sombra tone remained blissful, Hana quickly detected the fluster in her voice. The benefit of being bunkmates.

With a disappointing sigh, Hana pressed her back against the seat and crossed her arms. "Can you at least tell me your last name, you did promise me that." The words came out muttering from her mouth.

Raising an eyebrow, Hana didn't even look at her general direction; a gesture Sombra found to be rude. "I also said that I'd do that when we trust each other. But you still seem to have doubts about me." She said dryly, her tone lacking from emotions.

"Can you blame me?"

Hana's small statement affected Sombra in a different way, one that ached her chest. "I guess not." with that uttered, Sombra fixed her attention away from Hana.

Nearly ten minutes have passed, and neither girls said a single word to each other. They barely stared at each other, excluding the awkward glances. Even as the waitress returned to take their orders, they barely acknowledged each other. The dead air would've easily sufficed them if given a chance.

"The napkins seem dirty." Surprisingly it was Hana who broke the quiet atmosphere. Even Sombra was surprised by the odd encounter. "I said the napkins seemed dirty." Summoning a weak smile, Hana held up the tissue towards Sombra.

Sombra stiffly bit down on her lips looked at her own. "I guess they are?"

Hana swallowed what was left of her courage down her throat and got up from her seat. "If you excuse me." Offing her with a smile, she turned around and headed to the closest exit her eyes laid on. Her legs instantly began moving her towards the bathroom and anxiously left the table.

She quickly turned the sink on and splashed her face with the cold water. "'The napkins are dirty'? Seriously, that's the best you got?" She exclaimed at herself in the mirror. "I must look like a big dork, don't I?" She turned towards the attendant next to the row of sinks.

She halfway looked back at her before quietly resuming her silent duty.

Hana crossed her arms in frustration while leaning back against the sink. "I finally have a chance to talk to her without imploding, and she does this` to me. It's not my fault." She threw her arms in the air as she exclaimed.

Once again, the lady in the suit didn't acknowledge Hana and remained quiet.

"Then again, maybe it is partially my fault." Her voice toned down the passive-aggressive attitude and changed to a low mumble. "I was always aggressive towards her until recently. And I kept demanding answers from her even though she didn't want to share it with me. She was patient with me all those times." Maybe I should keep my mouth shut and do the same.`

With her mind made up, she was ready to confront Sombra again. And this time she was going to set things straight. But before she heads out, she turned towards the bathroom attendant and smiled at her, "You're a good listener. Whatever they're paying you, it's not enough." Digging into her pockets, she pulled out a few dollars and tipped the lady.

As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, Hana quickly headed towards the table. The look on Sombra's face became pale once Hana sat down on her seat. "Sombra, we need to talk."

"Hana, I-"

"No, please let me say this first," Hana interjected her almost instantly. She came so far, and she wasn't willing to ruin it because of her selfishness. "Whatever you're going to say, keep it. I don't want you to force it out. I need to earn that, so I'm sorry."

The pale look on Sombra's face turned to a mixture of confusion and even more confusion. "I don't understand. You don't me to answer your questions?"

Hana shook her head with a friendly smile. "I never gave you a chance before so I deserve that. If I'm going to get my answer, then I'll have to work for it, starting by erasing all my doubts."

Sombra's head hung low. Hana wasn't sure if her words upset her or impacted her on another level. But as soon as she raised her head back up, she nodded, "Are you sure you don't want me to tell you? I will tell you everything if you want to."

Again, Hana shook her head. "I do, but you don't. And that's something I don't want. It's no secret that I don't see you as an enemy anymore. I see as a friend, if not maybe more."

Sombra's face lifted up curiously, her forced smile turned to a real one. "Are you saying that you see me as more than just friends?"

Hana took a moment think before replying, "Yes, you're a very close friend of mine." Sombra was smiling again, something Hana thought she lost.

Holding up the side of her chest, Sombra responded with a hurtful expression, "And after all that you friend zoned me. Boo, boo on you, girl." Even Hana couldn't hold a serious face, and soon they were both laughing together.

"I'm glad to see the lovebirds finally making up." Unknown to their knowledge, the woman suddenly arrived from nowhere with their food. She placed the multiple plates quietly before bowing to them and leaving with a smile.

A new color painted the table with a rich scent that intoxicated the atmosphere. Sombra's eyes shifted from plate to plate, not knowing where to start. "I think she forgot to bring spoons." She inquired and stared at Hana.

"No, she didn't." Hana bluntly replied, picking up her chopsticks. "They don't serve silverware here." Without breaking eye contact, she easily picked up some rice and munched on it. "You should eat up."

Moving her gaze away from Hana, she spotted two chopsticks next to her and attempted to pick it up. "I don't know how to use these sticks." With annoyance, she mumbled as she failed to place them between her fingers.

Hana satisfyingly moaned as she took a bite of the prawns. "These golden prawns are amazing," she stated, savoring the flavor in her mouth. "You should try some."

Sombra blinked at her with a blank expression. "If you insist." Reaching forward, she gently grasped her wrist and took a bite of the half-eaten prawn.

The sudden action made Hana's heart skip a beat. Without bursting with embarrassment, she retracted her hand away from Sombra's grasp. "Hey, get your own!"

"How am I supposed to?" With a toned down voice, Sombra exclaimed and threw her arms in the air. "You have to feed me."

Those words almost made Hana choke on her food. She quickly chugged down her glass of water before she passed out. "Eh!? What are you saying?"

"You heard me," Sombra dragged her chair closer towards Hana and fixed her with a naughty smile. "You don't want me to eat like a caveman, do you? So, feed me some of the rice please."

Lost in words, Hana watched as Sombra opened her mouth, patiently awaiting Hana's action. It was embarrassing for Hana, the food inside her mouth reheated from her blushing cheeks. Gathering up all her courage, she took some of the rice and placed it in Sombra's mouth with shaky hands.

As Sombra chewed on the rice, she smiled at Hana with a warm expression, "My, my, you didn't even hesitate. Are you secretly enjoying this?"

She was pushing her buttons, Hana must not fall into traps. Taking a bite of the sizzled beef, Sombra was next to have a taste. "Careful, it's hot."

Sombra bit down and pushed the meat in different spots in her mouth. "Yum, it's delicious." She pleasantly moaned from the taste, even though it was hot, it was still great. "This time, I'll let you pick."

Sombra closed her eyes and opened her mouth in anticipation. To which an idea crossed Hana's mind. The pepper was always the spiciest think on the menu, so she needs to be careful not to feed that to Sombra. "Open wide."

Sombra extended her mouth with a smile as she felt the substance contacting with her tongue. Taking her time tasting the mystery food Hana fed her, she chewed on it with a smirk. "It's good."

Raising her brow, Hana inquired, "Really? Nothing bad about it?"

"Nope," Sombra happily munched down the spicy pepper and swallowed it whole. "A bit spicy I may add, but nothing I haven't tasted."

"Is that so?" Keeping a calm voice, Hana watched Sombra with a playful expression. "Are you sure it's not too spicy?"

Sombra merely shook her head. "Not at all, if anything, it's child's play to me." As she was carefully reaching for the glass of the water, Hana quickly snatched it away. "Conejita," Moisting her mouth with saliva, she addressed her with a raspy voice, "I'm a bit thirsty."

Hana fixed her with a brow as she drank half of the glass. "Sorry, I wasn't aware that you were thirsty." The amusement on her face was no secret, and she didn't hide it. "I could order another one, but it might take a while."

"You're evil." She angrily muttered as she tried to reach for the glass Hana was holding. "You hide behind a cute face, but you're evil."

Once the entertainment fulfilled her need, Hana offered her the glass which Sombra instantly emptied. "Why are you so surprised? I thought you knew everything about me?"

When she finished emptying the glass, Sombra looked at her, with her guard up, "I guess not."

Chuckling slightly, Hana picked up some of the beef and offered it to Sombra, "Want some? For real this time."

Sombra hesitated at first, but slowly pried open her mouth, "If you try anything, I'll-"

"Kill me?" With another giggle, Hana shut Sombra by stuffing her mouth with the meat. "How the tables have turned."

They both happily finished up their meal with no further incident. Hana was happily spoonfeeding Sombra who responded with a charismatic quip that easily triggered Hana.

As the waitress swung by, almost every dish was scraped clean. "I'm glad the two of you enjoyed your meal. But may I interest you with some wine?"

"Yes, the best one please," Hana replied with enthusiasm.

But Sombra had other plans and cut off Hana. "In your dreams. She'll have soda but do bring the wine."

The waitress nodded as she cleaned up the table. "Coming right up."

As she left, Hana glared daggers at Sombra. "Is that supposed to be you getting back at me?"

"Nope," Sombra pointed at her with a serious but a playful expression, "You're lightweight."

Hana grew bitter at the accusation and crossed her arms. "I'm not!"

"Yes, you are," She clarified in a rich tone. "I have everything documented. All your emotional breakdowns, you going berserk, it's obvious you can't tolerate it. So whatever defense you're going to use is pointless."

"One of the best wine we have," The waitress seemed to have managed to sneak her way towards them yet again. "And soda for the young girl." She flashed them with a smile before leaving the two girls alone.

Pulling cork of the bottle with some difficulty, the sweet scent of fermented grape caught the hacker's nose off guard. She wasted no time in bringing her lips towards the hole and taking a small sip of juice. The pleasant taste quickly tainted her mouth. "Truly, the best." She moaned pleasingly.

All Hana could do was staring daggers at Sombra as she unintentionally got under her skin. But knowing Sombra, this was most likely intentional. Her brain demanded that she reaches for the bottle and have a taste herself. And in a swift move, Hana managed to snatch the bottle from Sombra's grip before she could take another sip.

Shock quickly pushed over pleasure as the bottle suddenly vanished from her hands. Before Sombra could object, Hana was already taking a big chug from the bottle. "Whoa, take it easy conejita."

The bottle, now quarter empty, slammed against the table. Hana glared at Sombra, meeting her with a victorious smile. "What was that you called me, lightweight?"

Sombra didn't respond right away. "Okay, I'm just going to take this, before you do anything stupid." She offered her a friendly smile before pulling the bottle away from Hana's grasp.

"It tastes weird though," she smacked her lips a few times and muttered. The taste of the mixture of sweet and bitter flavor stained her tongue for longer than she anticipated. "Is it supposed to taste weird?"

Sombra gently patted her on the head, comforting her with a chuckle, "Bunny, this isn't a cheap beer you buy at the store. You're supposed to take it slow, savor the taste."

Hana watched Sombra taking a slow but small gulp of the liquid. "I see," She reached for the bottle but this time in a less barbaric manner. The real flavor started kicking in inside her mouth. "I think I can taste it."

"It tastes good, yes?" She received the bottle back from her. "In all my thirty years, this is probably my favorite bottle yet."

Hana immediately choked on her breaths. "You're thirty?" She never thought the woman who was sitting in front of her would older than mid-twenties.

Sombra in return playfully laughed in dismissive. "Don't be alarmed chica; I'm fine with being in a relationship with someone much younger and cuter than me." The in-between laughter toned down as she placed the bottle away. "Are you... are you okay with me being too old?"

Hana's eye grew wide before she burst out spouting mostly gibberish, "No- you...! I mean, I... not old." Taking a moment to regain oxygen into her lungs, she went on in a calmer tone, "I think you're pretty. "

"You think I'm pretty?" Sombra grinned at compliment Hana just stated. "And you're not feeling embarrassed about it?"

Hana merely shrugged at the reply, "Should I?"

Sombra gazed into Hana's now weary eyes. The faint blush on her cheeks was indicating the state of dizziness the wine provided. No doubt her breath felt hot as well. Odd.` it was strange why she thought about Hana's breathing for no reason. "At least your attempt at flirting is better than before."

"What is that supposed to mean!" Hana suddenly burst without any warning. It was one of the signs of her early drinking habits. From what she read in her files, Hana tended to let herself loose when under the influence.

The sudden outrage was enough to jumpstart Sombra's heart. "Hana, you need to relax. It was just a joke." She wasn't sure that her words were getting into Hana's mind.

"You're saying I can't flirt, is that it?" It looked as if Hana forgot that she was currently residing in a public place. In a matter of seconds, Hana stood up and towered over Sombra.

"That's not what I-" She was cut shorty as Hana jumped on her laps, her face inches away from hers. It was Sombra's turns for her cheeks to burn red. "Bunny, what are you-"

With a swift move from her finger, Hana instantly silenced Sombra. "Don't talk, just feel." Her arms snaked around Sombra's neck, dominating over her personal space. Bringing her mouth closer towards the hacker's brown lips, forcing her to squint in anticipation. With her tongue extended, he licked her upper lips clean. "You had a little wine mustache."

Slowly opening her eyes, Sombra took notice of Hana's wide grin. How the tables have turned, for the second time in one night. "I did?" As she stammered over her words, her face felt heating up. "I did, didn't I?" Swallowing down her lump, all she could stare at was Hana's face. Even when she was drunk, she never failed to charm her. "Miss Song, you're trying to seduce me, aren't you?"

"Seduce. Flirt. The point is to get inside your pants, right?" She was intoxicated, so the words came naturally out of her mouth. "But you know what we really should do?"

"I can't even imagine." She was comfortable sharing what was in her mind. It was a side Sombra wished she could see more from Hana.

"We should start a band," Hana stated with a satisfied smile. "If we ever quit our current jobs we could form a punk band together."

"Well, you do look the part." Her eyes drifted onto her black dress; it fitted her like a glove. A breathtaking cute glove. "But I don't think it's my kind of gig."

Fixing her with a soft smile, Hana rested her head on her chest, relaxing to sound of her rapid heartbeat. "Don't worry; I still think you're pretty."

Even though her voice came out faint, Sombra's ear was quickly able to pick up on her words. "Come on Hana, where is this coming from?" She attempted to play it off while shaking any mischievous thought from her mind.

There was a moment of silence before Hana responded wearily, "I'm sorry, but I wasn't honest about earlier." Her tone was drifting towards a mellow, and yet still hinting with doubt.

"What do you mean?" Adding a glimmer of worry in her tone, Sombra inquired.

Hana hesitated to answer immediately. She lacked the emotional strength to let out any of her deep thoughts. "Do you promise not to laugh?"

"I promise." She didn't need to hear it twice; her mind was instantly made up.

Nodding weakly, Hana was ready to open up until her heart content. "I had a dream, it was... awkward, but it made some things cleared up to me. But I was scared of how you'd react."

"I see," It was weak respond. Sombra's heart was suddenly feeling heavy. "And what was that?"

Hana lifted her head off her chest to look at Sombra, staring directly into her enchanting eyes. "Sombra, I-"

"Now I remembered."

The two, suddenly taken off guard, jumped from their seat. Turning their attention towards the rough voice, they noticed the waitress from earlier gazing at them with a broad smile. "You're Hana Song!"

As soon as those two words were let out, all the focus in the restaurant were on them. Mumbles filled the air, and the individuals halted their meal and started rising from their seat.

The discomfort on Hana's heart instantly went haywire. So many hungry eyes set on her. Her dizzy body couldn't move a single muscle let alone rush her outside the building.

Thankfully, Sombra was quick on the nose. Exposing her illuminating keypad on her wrist, she quickly punched on a combination of commands. "Hang tight." she embraced Hana closer towards her before vanishing from all the eyesight.

Not a second later, they appeared inside Hana's shared bedroom far away from any soul. They seemed to be one piece, but unlike the last time, the journey was more discomforting on Hana's stomach.

"Are you going to puke again?" Sombra asked, fear lingering in her voice.

Though her stomach was in a desperate situation, Hana was able to adapt from the last time and hold in her urge. "I'm good." She mumbled softly and received a nod from Sombra.

A few moments of silence went by before Sombra spoke, "Not that I'm complaining, but do you think you can get off me now?"

Hana raised her head and realized her body still latched on Sombra. But instead of jumping off her like old Hana, drunk Hana nuzzled her face closer towards Sombra's. "My knight in shining jacket. I should thank you properly for saving me."

"Haha, yeah as tempting it is, I think I'll pass." Sombra nervously chuckled. She tried placing Hana onto the bed, but Hana's grip proved to be too tight.

"Is that so?" With an angry pout, Hana glared at Sombra, bittersweet eyes assaulting her from every angle. "I offer myself to you, and this is how you react?"

"Yes, I'm surprised too." The words stroke her a little too late. "Wait, what do you mean 'offering yourself.'"

Hana didn't give Sombra the chance to process her thoughts. Instead, she dragged her body down on the soft mattress. For the naked eye, one might see Hana as small and fatigue, but in reality, she as capable as any other person, maybe even more.

Before she knew it, Sombra was pinned down on the bed, observing as Hana levitated over her. Eyes of pure evil, something that didn't belong to Hana's cute face.

Her heart increased its speed, pumping adrenaline through her body. No matter how much she tried to counteract her, Hana put on a twice the effort to keep her pinned down. Wasn't she supposed to be drunk?`

"Don't worry, we both are going to enjoy this." As Hana closed the distance between them, Sombra's only option was to close her eyes. Within the second, Hana's skin contacted with hers.

She expected a much violent act from Hana's attack, but what she received was her soft wet lips on her neck. An odd noise next to her ear, adding vibration to the experience.

"Wait..." Sombra slowly opened her eyes, Hana was still dominating on top of her. "Did you fall asleep?"

Hana didn't respond; she was sleeping like a rock. After all, she did finish a half bottle of wine in a few sips. There no telling of what she would've done.

A sigh of relief parted from her lips, very thankful that she managed to dodge a deadly bullet. Terrified was a strong word to describe her state of mind. A more suited word would have been, shame, she was disappointed in herself. After weeks of ascending dominance over Hana only to come out on the opposite end was a travesty to Sombra.

It was a good thing that Hana fell asleep before she attempted crossing the point of no return. That would have been an awkward morning and even more uncomfortable conversation.

No matter, Hana was unconscious, and Sombra was finally able to catch up on some sleep. Sombra reached around Hana's torso, lifting her over the other side. However, Hana proved to be too stubborn, even when she was asleep. She wouldn't move an inch.

"Hana?" Sombra called out to her, but she didn't get a response back. "Hana, this isn't funny." Another desperate cry ended in silence. "Hana please, I want to sleep too."

Her arms extended around Sombra's waist, sealing her fate. While Hana was smiling blissfully, Sombra was a different story. No matter how much effort she put on, Hana would not move. All her efforts were fruitless.

That lasted the entire night.
