Part 13
Hanzo's P.O.V
My head was spinning and I opened my eyes to see brilliant white lights shining down onto my face.
"Ah! Your awake." Angela's voice could be heard somewhere over to the left side of me. I turned onto my right side and saw Jesse asleep in a chair next to me,
"He hasn't left your side all night you know." She said matter o' factly. I managed to grunt in response and smiled at the sleeping man, he had wrapped his serape around my shoulders and I dug my head into its soft fabric. It smelled like whiskey and cigars but I didn't care, it reminded me of Jesse. He grunted and his eyes fluttered open,
"So yer awake the darlin'?" His smile was such a welcome sight as it gave me life, I don't know why but for some reason he had the ability to make me feel... whole.
"Mhmm." I sighed at him,
"Good morning Hanzo."
"Mornin' sweetheart."
"Morning? Pfft, it's 2 o' clock in the afternoon!" An idea sprung into my mind,
"Dammit, I woke up early!" Jesse laughed at my stupid joke but Angela seemed genuinely surprised to hear me make a joke, ouch, I feel offended.
"Heheh Angela, when do you reckon I will be able to leave the Med-Bay?"
"Oh... you have been making such good progress so I would say between sometime now or tomorrow." She smiled at me and then slipped a light sigh at the sigh of us.
"Is now okay?" I smiled awkwardly and she responded with a simple,
"Go on then, but be careful." I stood up and gathered my bearings, giving Jesse a thumbs up when my head had stopped spinning. We stepped out into the hallway and Jesse took my hand in his, we were walking down the corridor but Jesse turned left,
"Jesse? Where are you going?" I asked, puzzled.
"Arent'cha goin' t' yer room?" He looked just as confused as I did,
"No, I'm going to go get some fresh air it will do me some good."
"Well, do ya want me t' tag along?"
"Of course I do Jesse!" He walked up to me from the corridor with a stern look on his face,
"Jesse? Is everything okay?" I was worried about him, he seemed... deflated.
Jesse pulled me into a tight hug and I could hear him crying into my shoulder,
"Jesse, what's wrong?" I could feel the panic slowly spreading through my body.
"Ah... Ah'm jus' so happy that yer alive!" He cried softly, pulling me closer,
"If this is a dream ah... ah-"
"Shhh, don't worry, I'm fine, we can go to my room and lie down for a bit, I don't want you worrying over me." I stroked his back and he pulled away from me, wiping his eyes with his hand, I couldn't resist. I pulled him down by his serape and threw my lips onto his, Jesse reacted immediately and kissed back, even more passionately than me. I pulled away from him reluctantly and smiled,
"There, still think this is a dream?" I took his face in my hands ma swiped away his tears, he nodded and smiled back,
"C'mon cowboy." I grabbed his hand and led him back to my room, we both collapsed on the bed. Jesse was lay on his back next to me so I put my head on his chest and placed my arms around his waist, he placed his around my shoulders and pulled me closer. I buried my head into his chest and fell asleep, this was the most at peace I had been in ages.
I woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside the window and opened my eyes, Jesse was still asleep next to me. I smiled at the sight of him, he still had his hat on his head so I took it off and hugged it close to my body, I breathed in its scent and it calmed me. I jolted upwards at the sudden knock at the door,
KNOCK!!! KNOCK!!! KNOCK!!!
They sounded angry, I quickly got up, adjusted my hair and kimono and then opened the door. It was Winston.
"Hello Winston, may I be of service?" He stared at me in disbelief, why?
"Agent Shimada, is it true that you and Agent McCree have built some kind of intimate relationship?" He looked hopeful for a second but it quickly dissipated,
"Yes, why?" I was confused,
"I had hoped that this wasn't true, I am sorry to do this, I really am, but you and Agent McCree can no longer be partners on missions or see each other as often as you do, any sort of intimate relationship can cause to someone acting on their emotions mwhich could lead to mission failure, I'm sorry Mr Shimada, I really am..." the scientist was stood there with a sad expression on his face but I didn't care, I understood why I couldn't see Jesse as much but I didn't want to believe it,
"I'll leave you two alone to talk about it..." Winston left me there, pale faced at the door.
"Hanzo darlin' goin' somewhere?" A soft, tired voice came from behind me, he was awake. I felt my eyes stinging and I fell to the floor, throwing a hand over my mouth to stop myself from screaming.
"Hanzo? What's wrong!?" I heard him quickly jump out of bed and then felt his arms wrapping around me, pulling me into a hug, I greedily returned his affection, crying into his chest.
"What's wrong darlin'?!" Jesse stroked my hair softly as I let out the last of my sobs.
"I... I... I..." I couldn't form words,
"Shh... shhhh darlin' it's okay, it's okay. Breathe." His voice was soft and calming which allowed me to settle down.
"J...Jesse, I'm... we're... we can't..."
"Easy now, try calmin' down a bit." He placed his hands on my shoulders and looked into my teary eyes,
"Jesse, we... we can't be together anymore..." I could barely get out the words,
"W...What?" He stared at me with terrified eyes,
"Hanzo what... what do you mean? What did I do?!" He looked heartbroken,
"Nothing! Winston just told me that we can't be this intimate with each other because on missions it can cause us to act on our emotions and not think logically, we can still be friends but..." I was sobbing loudly into my hands, sitting down at the door of our room. Jesse hadn't said anything for a while,
"Ah understand..." he said shakily and pulled me into a hug,
"Ah love you Hanzo Shimada, nothing will ever change that." He was crying too now,
"I love you too Jesse McCree and I know." He stood up and offered his hand, I took it and he pulled me up,
"Ah hate getting angry at Winston but this is just a bit ridiculous." He tipped my chin up and smiled which in turn, caused me to smile.
"Come with me..." he grabbed my hand and started to lead me to Winston's office,
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
Jesse knocked on the door with his metal arm and squeezed my hand lightly.
"Come in." Winston's voice came from the inside, Jesse pushed the door open and Winston instantly froze.
"Agents, I know your angry but it simply must be this way." He looked sympathetic, but I kept my head down.
"Cut the crap Winston. There are so many overwatch agents that are in the same relationship situation as us, is it because we're gay?" Jesse's voice was sharp and harsh, my hand slowly slipped out of his hand and onto his shoulder,
"N...no! It's just that I don't want to jeopardise a mission!" The great ape's voice now sounded scared,
"Well tough, ya can't just do that t' us for Christ sake we're..." Jesse looked at me for a moment and smiled,
"We're engaged."
