ㅤeyes flutter open at the sound of the door, his best attempt at rest disturbed by someone who's stopped dead in their tracks on the threshold to the room. lena. the blue glow of her accelerator gives her away in the otherwise dim lighting of one of the med bay's private rooms. —not that his eyes can't see perfectly in the dark anyway.

for a long moment, they simply stare at one another, the hum of the machinery he's hooked up to the only sound to be heard. genji's sure he makes a ghastly sight; deconstructed for routine maintenance, he's little more than a torso, head, and one singular arm, all suspended from a myriad of wires and cables, just hanging there like some body horror nightmare. even the armor plating of the mechanical parts of his body have been removed, revealing the intricate wiring and machinery which keeps him alive and allows him to move. not a lot of people are unlucky enough to see him like this. it could be worse though, he supposes — she could have come by while his lower jaw was removed for cleaning and retuning.

ㅤㅤ" ...you can come in, if you want. "ㅤbreaking the silence with a dash of hesitance, genji nods, gesturing with his sole arm to one of the chairs in the room. he won't blame her if she chooses to turn tail and run instead, though.ㅤ" angela sent you here, didn't she? she mentioned that she had someone else coming in for maintenance today, and that perhaps we should keep one another company. "ㅤhe hadn't been so sure about it then (he's still not entirely sure how he feels about the idea, really) but... of anyone it could have been, he thinks he's glad that it's lena.

ㅤㅤ" i hope that she warned you of what you would be walking in on, at least. —even so, i'm... sorry, if you were alarmed by the sight. "

ㅤit occurred to him to apologize for startling her, but he ultimately decided against drawing any attention to the matter. instead, when lena shifted to one side, he stepped closer on quiet feet and joined her at her perch. also one to take to height when he needed distance from others, genji found something of a soft amusement in another discovered similarity between the two of them, but took his seat without commenting on it.

ㅤㅤ" yes. sleep is... "ㅤcomplicated at best. difficult and not as necessary as it once was at worst.ㅤ" ...elusive at even the best of times. "ㅤsomething he was sure most on base could relate to, but that lena in particular would be painfully familiar with the feeling. obviously she was, or she wouldn't be up here, avoiding her bed the same way he was.

the chilly air earned a faint shiver from him, with none of his armor on to protect his remaining skin from the night's breeze, but even that was intentional — it served as a reminder that he was alive, that he wasn't all metal and electricity.

ㅤㅤ" i did not think anyone else knew of this spot. it's a good one though, is it not? it is rare that anyone thinks to look up here. "ㅤreyes was the only one who came to mind as someone who would think to search for him on the rooftops and in the rafters, but that hadn't been the case for some time now.ㅤ" —unless they are also seeking someplace to hide, that is. "

@ictibule asked:

❛ can’t sleep? ❜ (from genji) || various prompts ( selectively accepting )

His voice was quiet against the soft whistle of the wind along the rooftops. It had been her hiding spot, somewhere quiet and far away from the bustle of the ground below, while still holding the familiarity of home close. Lena had created a nest of sorts, blankets set down and propped around her to insult from the frigid evening air.

Genji startled her, tearing her from racing thoughts and slipping sanity. Insomnia wasn't a new side effect, plaguing the nights of most of the agents that resided at the base. Still, it was no cure for restless nights. Lena settled for somewhere far away and comfortable to endure the sleepless hours.

"Yeah, something like that." Lena didn't look up at Genji, simply shifting over to give him space to sit. If anyone was good company during a night like this, it would be him. "You're up late too."

ㅤㅤ" you seem troubled. "ㅤfiltered voice cuts through the echoing silence of the hangar as if unleashed from the blade carried on his back, sudden and jarring. though he's had no intention of sneaking up on her, there was no sound prior to him speaking to announce his presence — an unfortunate yet sometimes useful side-effect of being thoroughly designed for stealth.

genji is not in the habit of checking in on his fellow agents after difficult missions. with the ever increasing severity with which blackwatch has been carrying out its duties lately, however... he's keeping an ear to the ground.

ㅤㅤ" and yet your assignments have all seen great success. should this not be cause for celebration? instead you isolate yourself, hiding where no one is likely to look... "ㅤthere's no accusation in his tone, only a note of curiosity. perhaps even a hint of understanding. when he continues, it's not a question, but a statement;ㅤ" you are not proud of the work you do. "
