When they had finally gotten home Hanzo felt even worse, the adrenaline now gone he was left with a foggy brain and a sore body, not to mention his face. He opened the car door with one hand pushing it all the way open with his foot. Genji met him in front of the car offering a hand. As Hanzo reached for it Genji pulled him up over his shoulder.

"Genji no this hurt more!" Hanzo wheezed Genji's shoulder digging into his abdomen. Genji ignored him and continued up the drive way to the house where he unlocked the door.

"Jesus put me down." Hanzo asked again trying to squirm but lacked the energy to do so. He walked into Hanzos room flicking the light on. Finally Genji placed him down gently on his own bed before leaving Without a word, the light still on.

"You could've turned off the light." Hanzo muttered

Genji re entered the room this time with a first aid kit and a glass of water.

"Oh god." Hanzo moaned.

Genji pulled out an antiseptic wipe from its package. "This might sting a little." He warned pressed the towelette on his face. Hanzo felt sharp pains in places he didn't even know were cut. "Jesus Christ Han, your face is swollen to shit; you have bruises all around your neck. Did he strangle you?"

"I don't remember." Hanzo confessed.

"How much did you have to drink?"

"I don't know, I had something called moonshine."

Genji let out a defeated sigh. "No wonder you don't remember."

Genji pulled out a butterfly bandaid of the kit. "You might need stitches, you've got a gash right above your eyebrow." Genji informed him. Hanzo chuckled slightly.

"You know, it's funny you always used to play doctor when you were a kid." Hanzo reminisced

Genji smiled sorrowfully. "Yeah, I was never good at it though."

"I didn't even know we had a first aid kit."

"We didn't." Genji laughed. "But I always ended up hurting myself trying to cook so this girl in my class made me buy one."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, she sits beside me and would always notice the cuts on my hand... " Genji trailed off.

"You have a girlfriend I don't know about?"

"Hah, no she isn't my girlfriend." He admitted."Sadly."

"So you like her." Hanzo stated.

"Yes that pretty obvious Han."

The two were both silent again as Genji finished up.

"So, are you going to tel me what happened to you?" Genji asked zipping up the First aid kit.

"I liked you better when you didn't talk." Hanzo complained.

Genji sighed. "Han, you've never been one to not defend yourself, you know as well as me you can fight. Father taught us every day. You're better than me! Yet you let that man beat you up like a human punching bag? That isn't like you Hanzo."

"He was bigger than me and he caught me off guard."

"True, but you know as well as me that you could've taken him. So what's the deal?Why are you protecting this guy? Because unless you give me a good reason I'm going to go after that asshole."

"Genji, don't." Hanzo tried his best to speak with authority but he was exhausted.

"Then tell me what's really going on!"

"Fine." Hanzo looked away from Genji.

"I-I'm gay okay?" He felt tears burning behind his eyes. Genji was going to furious he just knew it.

"Dude, I know." Hanzo snapped back to face Genji. "What? How? I didn't even know."

Genji laughed."You were my idol growing up you don't think I didn't know? I followed you around everywhere I tried to be just like you."

"But how could you have known? I never -"

"Do remember how all the girls used to fawn over you?"

"No?"

"Exactly."

Hanzo looked at Genji perplexed.

"I was younger than you when I started to get crushes on girls. At first I thought you were just dedicated to your studies, but then I realized it was more than that. Simple."

Hanzo was silent as he processed this.

"How long have you known?" Genji asked.

"Two days."

"Dude, how?"

"I thought I was more in tune with my emotions." He shrugged

"Anyway, why are you protecting Derek again?"Genji brought back the topic at hand.

"He saw me kiss...someone." Hanzo blushed.

"You kissed someone!" Genji shouted excitedly, he was being more supportive than he thought he was going to be.

"Who'd you kiss?" Genji urged.

"Jesse..."

"Wait, McCree? Like football Jesse?"

"You know him? " Hanzo sat up now.

"He's pretty popular with the jocks, it makes more sense now. So I take it Derek's blackmailing you?"Hanzo nodded.

''That son of a bitch has another thing coming-"Hanzo put his hand up. "Please Genji, I don't want this worse than this already is, please don't try anything."

"Ok. Fine...For now anyways."

"Thank you."

Coming back to school was an anxiety attack and a half for Hanzo. Everyone could see his black eye along with all the bruises his face and neck accompanied. He sat down in his usual seat in biology. He hadn't seen Jesse since he'd bolted out of his bedroom. He felt the knots tighten as he waited for him to show up, what would be worse? If he didn't show up? Or if he did and chose to ignore him. Hanzo chewed on the end of his pen.

"That's a bad habit ya know?" A voice spoke behind him. For a moment he had forgotten the state of his face, he forgot what happened on Friday night. He turned to face Jesse, who was smiling.

His face fell as soon as he saw Hanzo's face, his eyes wide with a mixture of sadness and anger. He took a loud breath before sitting down. "Who?"

"I don't know." Hanzo lied. Jesse could sense it but didn't push it.

"Outside, the courtyard in ten minutes meet me." He said before jumping out of his seat and leaving the classroom. Hanzo waited for five minutes before he asked to use the washrooms. He felt more nauseous by he minute.

He met Jesse by the giant trees plotted in the courtyard, out of sight from any prying eyes. Good. Jesse stood there waiting his back propped up against a tree, hat down covering his face. He lifted it as he saw Hanzo approach.

Hanzo stood infrint of him not sure what to do.

"About Saturday, I didn't mean to run out like that I just-" Jesse interrupted Hanzo by grabbing his face with one hand gently. "What happened to you? Who did this?"

"I don't remember, honestly." Hanzo lied. Jesse looked at him suspiciously before sighing. "Are you in a lot of pain?"

"Not terribly..."

"I'm sorry." Jesse lightly traced the bruises on Hanzo's face. "I'd hate to see the other guy." He joked.

"Yeah.."

silence fell upon them as Jesse brooded over Hanzo's swollen face.

"Can I kiss you?" He asked a blush flushing into his cheeks.

"Oh, so now you ask for permission." Hanzo teased.

"Hey I was drunk and confident okay?" Jesse defended his thumb grazing over Hanzo's lips. Hanzo followed his instincts and leaned in his lips joining Jesses. It was sweet and short, Hanzo felt his heart flutter until he thought of Derek.

"We can't let anyone know..." Hanzo stated backing away.

"Yeah, I'm not exactly ready to face that demon just yet." Jesse admitted.

"So, will you be my boyfriend? In secret of course." Jesse winked.

Hanzo smiled. " I guess." He winked.
