Hello,I hope you had a good day! I have an OL2 request if that's alright!!

In step 2,with Qiu,GN-Reader,Best Friend status with both Qiu and Tamarack and Qiu is just pining over their best friend,MC. How would Qiu realize their crush on MC? How would they act around MC who shows their love thru physical affection towards their neighbors?

Basically what im asking is 'the brooding,pining one x the oblivious,affectionate one' but it's with Qiu and MC :D!! (A LIL SIDE NOTE/ASK ADDITION : Maybe MC is also insecure abt themselves,thinking that they're not that lovable or smth,maybe cuz of their looks if u know what I mean?? THANKS FOR WRITING FOR OL2 BTW IT MEANS A LOTTT <3)

(side note 2 : sorry if this isn't that understandable,english isn't my first language 🙇‍♀️)

I think they’ve always been aware that MC was different from their other friends;

As a kid, they remember other friends complaining about Qiu’s giving MC special treatment, and as someone preoccupied with fairness it used to annoy them to no end;

Because they knew it was true, they just didn’t understand why they felt so compelled to treat them this way;

As they grew up and the idea of romantic love became a less threatening, more concrete concept, it didn’t take them too long to piece it together;

MC was always there for Qiu, always ready to show them support and kindness and to look out for them, when Qiu was used to other people relying on them to be like that;

They’d watch them laughing at something Tamarack said and would just feel this… warmth in their chest;

Like this was something they’d need to protect;

The world could be a cruel place, but MC’s kindness and their laughter was the one thing Qiu wanted to preserve;

I don’t think Qiu had this grand moment of realisation;

It happened one night, right at the beginning of autumn, when the leaves started falling and the nights grew colder;

They both agreed to meet in Qiu’s backyard in the early hours of the evening to look at the stars through a telescope together;

Mc managed to bring their favourite tea in a thermos, and gave Qiu the biggest hug once they saw them;

They were just… so happy. Being awake at odd hours of the night trying not to be too loud to not wake Qiu’s parents from their slumber;

Watching the stars and talking about mythology;

Mc started rambling about something they had read and stopped in the middle of it, apologizing about speaking too much;

And Qiu found that they didn’t mind it;

Not only that, they welcomed it. They loved how passionate MC was, how happy and comfortable they had been all night;

Qiu didn’t want them to stop at all, and they realized that they wanted to be the person that MC went to when they wanted to talk about these things;

Well… when people described love it always seemed so overwhelming, and in some aspects it was;

But it mostly just felt right;

Their name is Qiu, their friends call them Autumn, and they are in love with MC;

It’s been a part of them for a long time, and was just nice to finally understand that part of themselves;

Not too much changed after that, only that perhaps their affection and special treatment became more blatant;

In their teens, MC is one of the few people Qiu can stand to be around, and after they’ve realised their feelings they started relying on MC a bit more;

Because Qiu trusts them with that!;

Honestly? MC’s affection is one of the things that keep Qiu going;

MC, despite their obliviousness, ends up noticing and making sure to support them whenever he needs it most;

When Qiu is having a bad day MC will just… Wrap them in a hug and stay there for as long as Qiu needs;

If MC noticed how fast Qiu’s heart beats when they hug, they never mention it;

There are also more subtle types of affection;

Like linking their arms together while walking, grabbing their hand to lead them somewhere or just leaning against Qiu when they’re tired;

Even with all their angst, MC’s affection is always a sure way to soften them;

Qiu will often pinch their cheeks or pat them on the head and lightly tease them for being touchy;

I’m pretty sure Qiu’s love language is acts of service, but knowing how important physical affection is to the MC, Qiu will make sure to initiate it too;

Honestly, I don’t see Qiu as a very jealous person, and knowing Tamarack for years and being close to her, I don’t think that they’re jealous about MC showing her affection too;

Instead, it makes them happy that MC is surrounded by good people that care about them as much as Qiu does;

Tamarack ends up noticing their crush eventually;

I mean… I’m sure everyone knows about it except MC themselves;

And even if she seems a little too invested in it and will sometimes give Qiu a hard time about it in private, she’s very supportive;

And it means a lot to them to have MC’s other best friend support them like that;

In regards to MC being insecure… Qiu doesn’t get it at all;

How can someone that amazing be insecure about themselves? How can they worry about not being loveable enough, not interesting enough? Not beautiful enough?;

And they’re fucking pissed at anyone who would ever make MC feel that way;

MC is a person that Qiu cares about deeply, even if they’re colder at that age, there’s no way they just let them think so little of themselves if they can help it;

So… MC is one of the few people that Qiu will make a big effort with;

They make sure MC knows how special they are, and how beautiful of a person both inside and out!

For anon! Title: One in a BillionRating:PG-13Relationship: bittersweet Genji/Reaper

Everyone was born one way or another, but everyone had a soulmate.There were people simply made for each other, sometimes in pairs,sometimes more than that. It was more than just a passionatefriendship or a breathtaking romance though. A soul mate was somethingmore than that.

It was a relationship unable to be truly putto words, something ethereal.  It was something so breathtaking, soreal, the very concept of a soul mate had been fabricated again andagain across human history as the greatest achievement of all time,the one thing to fight for, the prize of every heroic quest.

The reality though was the chances of any one person meeting theirdestined soulmate  were always slim and most of the population wentby without ever meeting their destined one. They got married, hadfriendships, and carried on life quiet normally. Not to mention evenif someone did find their soulmate, there was no guarantee the twowould be completely compatible or even get along. The storybooks liked to make it seem like everyone could find that one personor persons that they were meant to be with and fall deeply in love.The reality was such things were simply dreams and fantasies most of the time. Sometimes the personwho was your destined wasn't quiet there, sometimes only appearinglater in life, as if there was a change they needed to go to be whothey were born to be, mind, body, and soul. Sometimes they weren’t quiet ready to accept the bond at all.

Genji, from a young age, had long since accepted he wasn'tgoing to find his soulmate. He was a playboy and had issues withcommitment. Not to mention he never thought he would be the sort ofperson that anyone would want to be latched onto. That wasn't to sayhe didn't try at times, going from one partner to the next, waitingfor that sudden flush and spark of interest that would sizzle throughhis veins. He tried and had never felt it and had put it aside.

After becoming a cyborg, he had more or less given up on thatdream. He might have accepted what he was, but he was more than sureno one else would accept him. It was better to settle than to hanghopes on something that wasn't going to occur.Life though hada funny way of coming out of no where and putting everything in lineto allow that single encounter to happen.It has comeso suddenly during the mission.One minute Genji had been dispatchingthe last Talon guards at the clutch point, the next, he wasstanding there, feeling as if someone had shot him through with athousand volts of electricity. He stood there, staring, one handstill gripping onto the handle of his blade, every muscle tensed adfeeling like he wasn't capable of any sort of movement.

He had never personally encountered Reaper before, although thestories told about him were passed around the agents of Overwatchquiet liberally. Genji was more than aware as well that the shadowydeath-dealer had also been Gabriel Reyes at some point but now hadbecome something twisted and evil, according to Ana's grim words.

He now stood before the mercenary, staring down the barrels ofthe twin shotguns feeling like his whole world had suddenly zoomed in,blurring out everything else but the mercenary. Something in Genji'schest lurched, a sudden flutter of anxious excitement that only grewstronger in anticipation. It was a giddy sort of feeling like he waswalking on pins and needles. The reaction wasn't one born of fearwhich seemed almost odd with death staring him in the face, but oneborn of a relief, a sense of peace like the last few pieces of hislife finally slipped into place and all the world was well.

They both stood there, neither one moving although their handskept on their weapon, ready to strike. Slowly though Reaper loweredhis gun, head tilted as he were perplexed by something. Genji for hispart was glad for the visor that hid his face and masked the fact hisgaze was now wandering down the broad frame of the mercenary,drinking in the details of the outfit and how close it fit to hisform as if some part of him needed to commit it all to memory.“Whatdid you do?” Reaper finally growled out, voice low and dangerousand filled a rasp that made a strange shiver race up Genji's spine.

“I didn't do anything and frankly, I have no idea what you areeven speaking about,” Genji responded curtly.

Reaper let out a growling hiss, shoulders hunching as he gesturedvaguely to himself, “This...feeling,” he spat, “I can kill anyOverwatch agent without hesitation but you? Why do you make mehesitate? Why can't I pull the trigger on you?”Genji drewback just for a moment, shoulders tensed some as Reaper's words sunkin. The mercenary was admitting to feeling something that kept himfrom killing Genji. That in of itself must have been a very strongemotion, more akin to a bond of fellowship and kinship unheard of orperhaps-

A cold feeling settled over Genji's entire body and made his heartseize up. It felt like his entire being was freezing and burning allat once as he took a step back. It was a bond he was feeling and itwasn't just any bond. Before him stood his-

“You're my soul mate,” Genji managed to croak out faintly,“We're soul mates,”Reaper pulled back as if he had beenstruck, and a low sibilant hiss escaped him, “No fucking way. Isthis some kind of joke?”Genji almost laughed. All of thisfelt like a joke. A particular cruel joke thrown down upon him by thepowers that be that here he stood before that one in a billion peoplethat was made for him. The one who's bond would transcend all knowboundaries of relationships into something undefinable and beautiful.Beyond all odds, he had been fortunate to discover that soul thatrang in tune with his own....

And it was Reaper. His enemy. The one who would murder all hisfriends and family without a care just to sate his need for vengeance.This was the mercenary of death who drained the living to sustain histwisted existence and was born of the fragmented soul of a oncedecent man.

This was soulmate and Genji didn't know whether to laugh or cry atthis whole turn of events. “I wish it was a joke and wecould laugh this off and go back to killing each other,” Genjifinally managed out, “But neither of us will be able to kill theother. That is the nature of what we have. What we have always had,”

They were destined from their birth or perhaps re-birth inReaper's case. He had died Gabriel Reyes and returned as Reaper andin rare cases, sometimes that is what triggered the bond to finallyemerge. That did not change the fact though that they were enemies whowere suppose to be taking out the other to ensure the safety of theirown side or to live out some callous revenge.

“You can't be serious,” Reaper said, his voice holding atremor of actual disbelief, “Soul mates? Are you kidding me?”

“What you see it as then?” Genji retorted, “What explanationdo you have for not being able to shoot me? Had a special fondnessfor me back in the Overwatch glory days from all three times or so wespoke?”

Reaper's entire form tensed and his grip on the shotguns increasedbut he didn't lift them back up to take aim at Genji. He stood therelike a man possessed by some other power, fighting with himself. Itwas a feeling that Genji could relate to as his fingers twitchedalong the hilt of his blade, wanting to pull it free and strikefirst.

They only continued to stand and stare as the muffled sounds ofgunfire echoed in the air, so distant as the world seemed to shrinkback.

“Soul mates don't exist,” Reaper finally spat out.

“They exist, doesn't mean they turn out as we would hope,”Genji returned, dropping his gaze to the ground in defeat. Helet his hand fall away from the sword handle, letting the reality ofhis fate settle in at last.

He wouldn't be able to strike Reaper down. Wouldn't even be ableto land a scratch without feeling like his entire being was beingstruck down as well. Reaper though still fought, still had fingers onthe triggers although they seemed frozen in place, unable to tightenup just that little bit further to shoot the cyborg before him. “This is- this can't be fucking happening,” Reapersnarled.“But it is so what is the point in trying to fightit?” They could deny it all they want but here they stood,unable to kill the other, neither pleased with the situation but atthe same time, hope was there, at least for Genji. If Reaper couldstill form a bond as a soul mate, it meant there was hope ofredemption for him, that there was something there still.

Perhaps, just maybe, they could find a way to make it work. Itwouldn't be easy, it would take time. They would have hurdles toovercome and probably would be taking steps backwards rather thanforwards but maybe, just maybe-“Genji! Watch out!” Thecyborg whirled about in alarm, tensed up even as he saw Ana line upher shot, the beam of her rifle trained on Reaper. The mercenaryreacted as well, turning towards the sniper as well. Everythingseemed to go so slow despite the fact it all happened in less than afew tense seconds. The shot rang out and Reaper recoiled back, blackblood splattering over the wall as he dropped back, one handclutching his chest as a pulse of electricity raced through him.They had been on a mission to stop Talon. They had known aboutReaper's ability and Winston had devised a way to neutralize Reaper'spower enough to-“Genji are you okay?”

The cyborg felt numb as he looked down at the fallen mercenary,his mind reeling as if he had been shock himself. His body wanted tocollapse then and he felt his entire world pulled out from under himonce more. That feeling began to ebb and fade as he stared at theground, trying to force a response out. “Genji?”Hefelt her hand on his shoulder. He heard the concern in her voice buthe couldn't speak. He merely nodded as he stared at the body of the onethat was to be his soulmate.A man that may now bedead.Everyone got a one in a billion shot to find theirsoulmate but rarely did things ever work out in the end. Rarelydid people find that true happy ending.
