A/N: I've been meaning to get into Overwatch fiction recently and I thought this would be a good place to start. I personally think McHanzo is a really sexy crack ship.
Chapter 1 : Given Name
There are some things that Mccree does that make Hanzo feel uncomfortable. One of them is calling Hanzo by his first name.
"Nice shot, Hanzo!" he'd say, after Hanzo had shot someone off a building.
"Hanzo, could you pass me that bottle? I could use a drink." he'd ask, on the way back to the watchpoint.
"Hanzo, you look a little chilly." he'd remark, while latching the window shut on a blustery afternoon.
Normally, being accidentally disrespected by westerners was something that the ninja had to deal with, considering that it was equally important to maintain good relations with one's business partners. Mccree was a different category of westerner and seemed to be taking his western-ness as seriously as Hanzo (and by extension the Shimada clan) was taking his Japanese-ness. Thus after one too many times, Hanzo had had enough, and so approached Mccree while the latter was polishing his six-shooter on one of the long tables in the workshop.
"Mccree-san. Might I have a word with you?" Hanzo put on his sternest face.
"Oh hey there, Hanzo, what's the matter?" Mccree looks up from his gun and reaches up with his bionic arm to tip his hat.
"It concerns the manner in which you address me. I believe it is common practice in the west to refer to one's friends by their first name?" Hanzo sits down and looks the other man in the eye.
"Mmhm?" Mccree leans back in his seat a bit.
"In my homeland, we refer to each other by our surnames. Our given names are reserved for more… intimate moments, or to be used by family members." Hanzo coughed a bit at the mention of the word "intimate".
"Is that so? Well I'll be honest, Hanzo, I've called your brother "Genji" a ton of times and he hasn't complained." Mccree gives him a grin.
"That may be the case, but I believe Genji is the more liberal of us two brothers, and we sometimes have different values when it comes to these things. I would appreciate it if you referred to me as "Shimada" or "Shimada-san" instead."
"Ain't that a bit too formal? I mean we've been through some deep shit together over the past couple'a months. Genji used to call me "Jesse-kun" sometimes, though darned if I know what kun actually means." Mccree pronounces the honorific as "coon", eliciting a small twitch of the eyebrow from the archer. "Don't suppose "Shimada-kun" would be too much, would it?"
Hanzo briefly pictures Genji referring to the cowboy as "Jesse-kun". It was almost cute. Almost. Hanzo's brows crinkle mildly in distaste, but the feeling passes.
""Shimada-kun" is acceptable." Hanzo nodded.
Mccree scratches his chin a bit. The extra syllables bothered him. "Hanzo" had a nice, quick ring to it, short and sweet and easy to shout over the noise of things like Bastion fire and Reinhardt being Reinhardt. That said, if the other guy felt that he was being too chummy, he might as well humor him.
"Alright then, Ha- Shimada-kun." Mccree replied. "I'll try to remember that."
"Thank you, Mccree-san." Hanzo bows towards him, letting "Hashimada-kun" pass for the time being.
"No problem, Shimada-kun." Mccree frowns.
