Dark.
Empty.
These words described Mei's current surroundings.
She stood in silence, looking around for any signs of life.
Feeling the cold ground beneath her bare feet; an unsettling chill brushed her skin.
Familiarity struck.
An unsettling noise filled the vacant space.
*Beep beep*
The rhythmic sound continued.
She reached out into the shadows. Her finger tips grazed against cool glass.
*Beep beep*
The words 'MALFUNCTION' flashed angrily in a demonic red color.
*BEEEEEEEEP*
Mei's hand shot back.
A heart monitor displaying 0 BPM appeared.
'OPARA' Shined in orange.
She screamed, falling to the floor.
One by one, a new name lit up from the darkness.
*BEEEEEEEEP*
Each one reading the same haunting phrase:
MALFUNCTION
"NO!"
MALFUNCTION
"NO! PLEASE!"
Mei fell to the floor.
She curled herself into a ball.
"A nightmare…it's only a nightmare." She sobbed in a pathetic tone.
...
Then, it stopped.
Silence.
Almost instantaneously, warmth spread across her body chasing the chills away.
Mei hesitantly opened her eyes.
"Huh?"
A blue hue of light diminished the darkness.
Rays of luminescence danced together, forming a pair of colossal dragons.
Gracefully they flew, leaving an indescribable pressure in her chest.
Mei placed a hand to her beating heart.
This sensation, she had felt it before.
The dragons lowered themselves to face her.
Sharp azure eyes met her own.
She was taken by their splendor.
Mei reached out, unafraid.
Her hand set softly atop the left dragon's head.
She felt comforted.
No sadness.
No remorse.
No guilt.
Only acceptance.
Hot tears streamed down her cheeks, plopping to the floor.
"Thank you…" She smiled.
"…umf…"
Mei awoke, blinking ungainly.
The world around her blurred.
Artificial sunlight beamed from a holographic clock. Simulating the current environmental conditions.
She carelessly flopped her head to the side. Squinting to focus on the device.
It routinely blipped the time and weather. Something Mei could not currently read.
Shifting again, she noticed her cheek was wet.
She'd been crying.
[That dream.]
Just how real was it?
She made an attempt to sit up.
The bed creaked.
Yet her body remained still.
Confused, Mei tried to bring a hand up to rub her eye.
Something blocked her yet again.
*Groooaaan*
A pair of strong arms squeezed tighter around her figure.
She looked down, bewildered.
Hanzo had securely enveloped her in his grasp.
His right arm lay between her bare breasts with his hand resting on her shoulder. While his left arm was wrapped firmly around her abdomen.
She shivered when he began to unconsciously massage her tense muscles.
Memories of their intimate exchange brought a hot flush to her cheeks.
[We had…] Mei choked on her own spit, unable to finish that thought.
If they stayed like this, her heart would surely explode out of her chest.
[We should talk. I want to ask him about my dream.]
She bent her elbows and grabbed his right arm.
[I want to learn more about those spirit dragons.]
But before that, she really needed a shower.
Carefully Mei attempted to pry herself from his tight hold.
Hanzo groaned again, the sound reverberated through her body.
His right hand continued to massage her.
Mei bit back a moan.
"N-not now." She mumbled.
He squeezed her closer.
She felt his hot breath against her neck.
The girl squeaked.
Something unexpectedly pressed against her butt cheeks.
It was hard.
And warm.
She wriggled, trying desperately to free herself.
"Mmm…" He murmured.
[Oh no! He's waking up!] She thought frantically.
Hanzo's eyes slowly opened.
Mei snapped her head to him.
"G-g-good morning! Zǎo shang hǎo!
He blinked lazily.
His half lidded gaze met her own distraught stare.
"How did you sleep!? I slept great!" Mei laughed awkwardly.
No response.
Instead, his right hand moved up to cup her cheek.
"Eh? Hanzo?" She questioned.
Without warning, he brought his mouth to hers.
His kiss was sensual. It sent tingles through her lips.
He was aroused.
Mei whimpered.
His hand left her face. It trailed down to her breast, giving it a loving squeeze.
She gasped in response, breaking their kiss.
He moved swiftly trapping her underneath him.
Roughly he pushed his mouth back against hers, whilst his right hand wandered lower.
Sparks flew, sending shock waves everywhere he touched.
Their lips messily separated.
Mei wrapped her arms around his neck.
"H-Hanzo..!" She tried to speak clearly. Instead it came out as a strong moan caused by his fingers that now stroked her moist heat.
Only just last night, Mei had lost her virginity. Now he wanted to have sex once more so soon!?
She needed time to gather herself. Relax, shower and eat before engaging in this sort of activity again!
Unfortunately, her body had betrayed that rational.
She whimpered, unconsciously spreading her legs wider.
He pushed two fingers in as a response.
Having just had sex the previous night, it didn't take much adjustment on her part to accommodate him.
Warm juices pooled out on to his hand.
Feeling ashamed of her wanton reaction, Mei buried her head against his shoulder.
His fingers moved deeper, curving in.
Sparks of hot pleasure shot through her nerves.
She felt herself giving in.
"A-ah! Hanzo!" She mewled.
Her body dropped back against the bed.
Mei tugged on the sheets hopelessly fighting the familiar sensations that rushed to her lower area.
"W-w-wait…I..I w-wanted…" Her words tumbled out.
Hanzo took notice of her pleas.
He rested his forehead against hers.
"Hmm?" He hummed, not slowing down.
"I…I…want…ed" She gasped for air.
"You wanted what?" He asked, increasing his speed.
The erotic sounds of him fingering her sopping sex filled the room.
She felt herself being pushed over the edge.
"A-ah!" Mei's hand moved to grab his shoulder.
He kissed her collarbone.
Pulling back, he bit his lip. Her eyes clouded with lust only served to make his member harden with anticipation.
He needed to be inside of her now.
Mei's insides tightened.
It was there, just within her reach.
What had she wanted again?
Thinking proved to be incredibly difficult at the moment.
She had wanted...?
Hanzo roughly pushed his thumb against her swollen clit.
Clarity hit.
Along with a strong sensation in her pelvic region.
"….T-to talk!" She suddenly blurted out.
Her hips bucked forward, on the brink of climax.
Hanzo's hand froze.
Feeling floored from an almost orgasm, Mei heaved in large amounts of air.
She lay dazed, covered in a sheen of perspiration.
He looked down at her, his brow furrowed.
Did she not want this anymore?
Had she not enjoyed her time with him?
His thoughts were interrupted as she choked out her explanation.
"I-I w-wanted to a-ask about something first…b-before we did this again…" Mei looked away blushing and shifting her legs in frustration.
He quickly breathed an inaudible sigh of relief.
That was close.
For a moment, Hanzo felt what he could only describe as fear.
Something the assassin was definitely not used to.
He observed her with onyx irises that bled a royal blue.
Hanzo sat quiet, seemingly contemplating to himself.
"Alright, we can talk…" He eventually stated.
Mei showed a weak smile that vanished almost immediately when his fingers moved again.
He brought his face close to hers.
"...after this." He was quick to recapture her lips.
His pace quickened, showing no mercy to her now weeping core.
She moaned into his mouth, feeling dizzy while his tongue danced with hers.
The feelings came back, overwhelming her this time.
Heat coiled through her lower body.
Tighter and tighter it wound, straining for release.
Hanzo broke their kiss and lowered himself to her luscious full breasts.
He wrapped his lips around her left nipple, roughly sucking on the sensitive flesh.
Mei screamed in pleasure.
She clawed his back frantically.
Unable to form words she sloppily moaned out syllables meant to be his name.
Her lewd voice spurred him on.
His fingers pushed just deep enough.
Mercilessly they curved inside, sloshing around liquid heat.
Mei could no longer take it.
Her head shot back.
With a loud cry, her body convulsed in pleasure.
She came hard.
Hanzo bit her nipple one last time before raising his head to watch her expression.
Damn…he wanted her now.
To make love again.
Have his way with her again.
Instead, he would respect her wishes.
Of course he was going to give her this first.
Not letting up, he kept his pace throughout her entire climax.
Through this, she would know his want.
His restrainted lust.
She would feel his longing.
He growled and placed a hungry kiss to the base of her neck.
For now, this was all he could do.
The thought frustrated him as he finally slowed his fingers.
Still he kept them inside as a small act of defiance.
It took Mei a bit to fully come down from her orgasm.
Small thrusts brought her fully back to reality.
"H-Hanzo…" She whimpered in a pathetic tone.
"Hmm." He placed a chaste kiss to her forehead.
Her disheveled appearance definitely brought him satisfaction.
Yet he still wanted more.
His middle finger massaged her inner walls.
She wriggled around, still sensitive to his touch.
"Hanzo…y-you agreed we could talk." She spoke breathlessly.
"We can talk like this." He offered, placing more kisses along her jaw.
"I won't *gasp* be able to f-focus!" Her voice quivered.
Hanzo sighed, knowing he could easily bring her back to the brink.
The cloudiness in her almond eyes gave away her unspoken want to go again.
He fought the dragons within him that demanded he take her now.
Sooner rather than later, he would have her squirming again.
Crying out his name and begging for release.
The thought brought him contentment.
With one final good thrust, he relinquished.
Mei sighed in relief, but quickly covered her eyes when he seductively licked her juices that had dripped down his palm.
Hanzo smirked, an idea for later popping into his mind.
"Well? What did you want to talk about?" He asked, softly prying both hands off her face.
She sat up covering her bare breasts with the blanket that previously laid tossed to the floor.
"U-um…" She reached to the bed side table, fumbling around until making contact with her glasses.
Hanzo sat up as well. He gave a disapproving look that she would hide her naked form from him.
"Last night…" She trailed off, shakily putting on her glasses.
Staying silent from a brief moment, Mei swallowed.
"Last night we…we…" She hesitated once more.
"Had sex." He bluntly finished for her.
Mei's lenses steamed up.
"Y-y-yes." She'd forgotten how straight to the point he was.
Gripping the blanket tighter, Mei steadied herself.
"Well, last night. I saw something." She started.
Hanzo blinked at her, curiosity behind his calm gaze.
"The same two dragons you controlled from our mission in Numbani. They were there with us. Right as w-we finished." Her cheeks darkened at the implication.
"I remember them flying above us, for the few seconds I could keep my eyes open. Then they appeared again. Except it was in my dreams."
Biting her lip, she debated mentioning her night terrors.
The death of her friends would occasionally haunt Mei's slumber.
During the first year, she found it hard to fall asleep at night.
Meeting up with Dr. Zeigler again had helped Mei cope for awhile.
She could vent to her friend, without fear of being judged or pitied.
However when Angela had to eventually leave for her own obligations, the nightmares worsened again.
Nowadays, her old friends would rarely appear. Only at times when she felt her most stressed.
Except for last night.
Mei had felt comfortable, safe in Hanzo's arms. Yet dreamliey recreations of that day still manifested.
However, this time two twin dragons had also emerged. Chasing away the bad feelings.
All of her anguish and sadness.
Guilt that she had been the only one to survive.
It was all gone in an instant.
Replaced with love, and reassurance that everything would be alright.
Hanzo sat silently.
He knew of her nightmare. The dragons had told him within his own dream.
Last night as he held her to him, every ounce of emotion flooded into his own subconscious.
Her dark thoughts and fears appeared before him.
Feelings he could not allow her to go through by herself.
For being alone, was something he could relate to all too well.
She would never be lonely so long as his soul existed.
He was pulled from his thoughts when she resumed her speech.
"I just wanted to know more about them." She lowered her gaze and unconsciously touched his right arm.
"Where are they from? What are they?" Mei questioned, softly tracing a finger along his tattoo.
Hanzo shivered, feeling a jolt of electricity surge up his muscles.
His low groan snapped her out of it.
"O-oh, sorry!" She apologized.
He was quick to catch her palm before she could pull away.
She blushed, remembering they were both currently still naked.
Hanzo kissed her finger tips, one by one before placing her hand back atop his tattooed arm.
"You wish to know…" He started.
His onyx eyes trapped her in their entrancing stare.
"…then I shall tell you."

AN: Well, I know it's been awhile. There's a lot I could say as to why this wasn't finished sooner. That would take up too much space though. It wasn't that I didn't want to continue. I just never had the time or privacy to focus on this. Also I do not have a computer to type this out so I'm doing it all on mobile. Which kind of sucks, because I can't really see the full thing on desktop once I post it. Either way though, don't forget to tell me what you think. :***
