Angela felt herself drifting off to sleep, though soon enough woke to find herself still pleasantly in Genji's arms. The gentle rhythm of his steps combined with his natural ability to walk softly made for a very smooth trip back to her room. However, the thought of finishing his present was still fresh in her mind, something that she must surely make clear to him sooner or later. They entered her room, the door shutting behind them with a soft click before Genji stood there silently with her in his arms.
It was definitely his first time here, or in any female room in fact. While hers wasn't anywhere as decorated when compared to the other females' rooms, it still had her own share of posters and personal items. Angela wiggled in his arms then, indicating her desire to be let down. This request which was promptly acknowledged and complied by the man holding her. She landed deftly on her feet with the help of his arms' guidance, turning around and giving him a smile before heading over to turn on the lights on. She let him observe her room, this time in the soft light she had in place.
It was actually not too often that she got to return here to rest peacefully. After all, it was all too often she was quite busy with her work through the night or off-site doing something of some importance. As such, even she had to take a moment to look at everything once again and quickly scanned it for any sign of dirtiness or disorganization. She snuck a glance over at Genji, walking over to her desk with a casual but quick pace.
Under the guise of collecting stray sheets of paper into a neat stack, Angela pushed a slightly open drawer close with her thigh. Noting a personal photo there, she snuck a glance over at Genji to see whether he was paying attention before moving to flip it over. However, her hand stayed on its frame as she looked at the photo once more, realizing that she really did not have anything that she needed to hide. After all, why would she need to hide a photo of them together on that fateful date.
The other folder in the drawer that she had pushed close is to stay hidden though. That is an album of photos that she will refuse access to anyone else, including Genji himself. Even without looking, she knew that at this point even the impassive and polite cyborg must have succumbed to his curiosity by now. Sure enough, she soon felt a source of warmth at her back, making her smile and fully lifting up the photo gently to shower to him.
¨Remember when I had to drag you into this photo? I can't believe you made me do that right after I confessed to you," she said teasingly, a smile on her lips at the fond memory. At that, Genji's visor glowed pink once more as he met her gaze. He quickly chose to focus on the photo in her hand instead of her, all too aware of what his visor was doing at that moment.
He simply nodded as he replied, "I do apologize. I did want to confess my attraction to you as well but I eh … That is …" Angela let out a small delighted giggle at the sight of the normally calm man so flustered. She placed the photo down on her desk and leaned in to kiss him on the cheek.
With a smile still on her face, Angela told him, "I know I know, I just so enjoy teasing you. My Genji is awkward and adorably shy around me for some reason or another. Does your playboy side not show itself around me? I heard you were quite a charmer with your own fair share of experiences."
Genji coughed before looking away from her, his visor showing no sign of becoming its normal green hue again anytime soon. "Well, you seemed much too elegant for a simple playboy to charm after all. Plus those days are in the past, I don't know who told you such rumors. I will try my best to be a bit less awkward, as you put it. It's that you are quite different from any woman I've known so I still find myself a bit flustered about you."
Angela gave him yet another kiss on his cheek, adding a third lipstick mark onto his steel countenance. At this point, she almost felt bad for teasing him so much. Almost. "Well, that is part of why I love you after all. Don't be so apologetic all the time. You're fine just the way you are dear. I really did enjoy our walk together that day and the weather was lovely. I just couldn't resist wanting to take a picture with you."
There was a short moment of comfortable silence between them, one that Angela did not mind at all until she was suddenly reminded that they were in fact alone in the bedroom together. At the thought, she looked away from him, her cheek flushed at the implications. While she was quite well acquainted with his body, she was not sure that he was exactly ready for this.
Sure he may have been quite a playboy in the past, however even she found herself hesitant to push him toward that big of a committal leap when she didn't know whether he was comfortable with doing so. Being the gentleman he is, she doubted that he would refuse if she boldly suggested it, and yet she couldn't help but be nervous about the aspect.
"So … What would you like to do now then, Genji?" She asked in a soft voice, looking over her shoulder at Genji to watch for his reaction, unable to hide the nervousness from her voice and the blush from her cheeks. Her heart pounded loudly in her chest for his reply. Opting to let him make the choice instead, she found herself in an array of emotions at the anticipation of his next word.
To his credit, it would appear that he understood the situation that they were in as well. The light of his visor dimmed as he closed his eyes in thought, before meeting her gaze again and approached her. Each step, though silent, made a loud thump in her chest. She turned to face him, gulping down the knot in her throat, until finally he was right in front of her. Her mouth was slightly agape as she searched him for his answer, her heart having stopped for a beat or two as she waited for his response.
Genji looked at her and brushed his hand through her hair, ending with his palm on the back of her neck. With that simple yet tender action, he said softly, "If only you could see how beautiful you look right now Angela. If I had been just a simple playboy as I was in the past, I suppose we would not be standing by this point in time. However, I know for a fact that you loved me for something else, and I know that I love you too much to ignore the fact that you're already exhausted."
Angela felt the tension leave her body, with each of his word flowing through her core and providing an unexplainable feeling of warmth and fuzziness to every nerve in her body. She felt herself lean into his chests, immediately caught in an embrace that felt like it had always been there waiting for her. Above her head, she heard a gentle voice say lightheartedly, "Plus, such activities are not exactly what I had in mind when I said that you needed rest."
In the next moment, she found herself in the air once again as Genji picked her up almost effortlessly, only this time she was over his shoulder. Angela let out a yelp in surprise and slapped him on his back playfully while demanding to be let down from this choice of transport, though a smile was wide on her face.
In the next moment, he did just that as he gently placed her down upon her bed, his visor bright in his own amused expression. Angela pouted at him and pulled him down toward her, bringing his face close to hers. "All that chivalrous talk and you just pick me up like that without my permission? That is twice now that you've done that. I do have a gun and I'm not afraid to use it you know."
Genji chuckled in amusement as he petted her on the head, an action that he had not thought about but seemed so fitting at that moment. His playful voice replaced the sounds of his chuckling as he told her, "My apologies. It turns out I couldn't resist your feminine charms after all and gave into my instincts. Perhaps we can play a bit after all, considering that you seemed rather worried and stressed out earlier."
Before she could comprehend what he was saying, Genji was already on top of her, his legs on either sides of her and his crotch pinning down her hip. As a deep shade of pink lit up her cheeks, she looked from where they were connected at her hip up to his face. While he had said that he did not want to do such things tonight, his position seemed to say otherwise. She couldn't help but feel her heart pound loudly again as she looked at him in anticipation.
In all her fantasies, being carried to bed for a long night of lovemaking was her favorite. She knew that while he may not be able to satisfy him as a normal man would, he had her heart pound so ferociously with every touch. From the lightest touch of his finger on her skin to the soft kiss that he then planted on her as he opened his visor, everything about him made her whole body felt warm and safe.
Whether it be in the midst of a battle or during the loneliest of nights, she could feel exactly that way whenever their eyes met. She willingly let him kiss her as he wished, opting instead to pull his metallic body into hers using her arms. While the metal was warmer now than it had been from before, it was not this heat that made her so eager to touch him. It was just simply the fact that he was right there. All alone with her, and there simply to make her be happy. As he broke from the kiss, Angela smiled softly and pulled him all the way down, placing him right beside her on the bed.
Before he could protest and even attempt to adjust the blanket as a diversion for escape, Angela had already wrapped her leg over his, with her arms on both of his sides and pulling him closely into her. She pouted at him a bit, something that she was not experienced in doing but still managed to appear adorable in his eyes anyways. With a sigh, Genji conceded simply with, "Fine, only for a while." With that, she happily kissed him once more, removing her leg from its position over his and simply opting to curl up inside him and burying her head into his chest, now surrounded by the gentle embrace of his arms. It felt like heaven, to be surrounded by the warmth from his body and the scent from the exposed skin on his face, even if his body was not so soft and his scent not so clear. Even so, it felt like heaven to her.
Genji smiled down at the small ball of love that was buried in his arms. He knew then that he would love her more than anything else in the world. In this world that he had once known, lost, hated, and learned to accept, this was the one thing that he will never surrender to anyone or anything, regardless of the cost. Because right there in his arm was the woman who showed a whole new world, one filled with wonderful memories and love.
However, even he realized that he should let her rest, and perhaps alone. He did not know how well she would cope with his cybernetic steam and mechanical actions and noises, nor the hardness of the metal. Plus, he couldn't even begin to imagine the gossip that would go around if anyone found them out. With that, he untangled himself from Angela gently, sitting up and looking down at her with a small smile. Angela let out a small whine of protest at losing her heat source and comfort, opening one eye to look at him.
However, before he could even speak, Angela was already shaking her head and leaning up to kiss him once more. In a soft voice filled with sleepiness, she said, "Stay with me." Her hand was tenderly holding onto his arm, beckoning him back onto the lonely pillow next to her. Genji looked to her side before looking back at her, trying his hardest to formulate a proper plan and response.
However, as he met her loving eyes once more, he knew that there was nothing in the world that he wanted more than simply to be by her side right at that moment. While he knew that she had let him have many decisions tonight, even now by the gentle hold that he could easily escape, he also knew deep in his heart that even if he made excuses for himself and thought himself as unworthy for her love, his body would never be able to move away from her. Not when she had already asked him to stay with every word and every action she made.
As such, Genji sighed in resignation and his visor lit up in a soft green tone as he nodded, getting onto the soft bed that he could not feel under his robotic form. However, the warmth and tender touches that surrounded him as the woman he loved with all his heart snuggled up inside his arms and up against his chest penetrated through his body, making all the tension and worries that he never knew existed melt away into nothingness as he pulled her in closer.
As he closed his eyes, he heard the soft voice inside his embrace whispered a few simple words to him, words which would leave a smile on his lips even as he slept a dreamless sleep that night.
"Thank you for everything, my dear."
