#genji headcannons

yandere shimadas make for such great angst material tbh and this prompt is actually 👌

•To be sure, Genji is always very appreciative of physical affection. Though, it is difficult for him to accept it because he still has some aversion towards his own body. But feeling your warmth satisfies his hunger for you, and you are certainly glad for that.

• To you, however, cuddling up to Genji is…difficult. He is sharp, cold, and the weight of his body can be suffocating. He wants to be a source of comfort to you, though he’s anything but.

• It hits him where it hurts. He grows ever conscious of the restrictions of his own body, something that had taken years for him to overcome. And when you push him away or struggle in his arms, even worse if you cut yourself while doing so, whatever was keeping his insecurities at bay swiftly shatters.

• And he gets upset. His emotions overcome him, and like the grip of a boa constrictor, the more you struggle, the tighter he wraps around you. The more he wants to prove to you and himself that he is more man than machine, that he can satisfy you just as you do him.

HEADCANNONS FOR GENJI SHIMADA

Genji is like a fun big brother to the other agents at Overwatch (I know he's the youngest of the Shimada's but he just gives me these vibes)

He totally games with Hana since he used to play videogames when he was younger

Cole Cassidy was the first person Genji actually warmed up to the quickest during Blackwatch and before he found peace

Genji has flashbacks to when Hanzo tried to kill him, and when he does, he gets put in a very dark place, he often either goes to Zenyatta, Angela, or Cole for comfort and guidance

Genji is at peace with Hanzo, but he still feels some sort of guilt and anger towards him, it's only natural, but he hates that he feels this way

Genji as a kid named his dragon something funny, like Noodles or Machi, but when he grew older, he decided on the name Ryu (taken from the name Ryujin which is the name of the Japanese dragon god, and it's one of the words that he says in his ultimate)

But sometimes he calls his dragon Noodles or Machi as a cute nickname

He doesn't really wear clothing since he doesn't have to due to him being mostly cybernetic, but when he wants to wear clothing, he mostly wears a hoodie and sweats and calls it a day

He pretended to date a guy when he was younger and still living in Hanamura, but only to piss off his dad (he mostly didn't like his father for running a literal Yakuza with drugs and murder, so, yeah)

When the guy's life was threatened by his dad, he immediately told him it was a joke...he never joked like that with his father again...

He's asexual, and demiromantic, sure, he was a ladies man in the past, but he mostly just flirted with those ladies to try and figure out who he was, yeah, he never figured out like that

He always made sure to back off when he knew he was about to go to far (like the girl was interested in "taking him back to her place" and he would always have an exuse not to)

Once he got his limbs replaced with cybernetics, he kinda got a bit more reclusive, before, he was an extravert, but now he's an ambiavert, more so leaning towards introvert

Being rebuilt like the way he is, destroyed alot of his confidence in his looks and being, sure, Zenyatta and Angela have been HUGE help, but he's still healing and still learning to accept himself

When his brother finally joined Overwatch, it took him a couple days to actually talk to him, he starts off small, saying "good morning" each morning and "good night" each night, but eventually, he starts making small talk, and even has conversations with his brother, Zenyatta is very proud of him for working himself up, and Angela has noticed alot of improvement

Genji sees Zenyatta as a father figure and a mentor, Zenyatta taught him things he should have been taught as a child (ie: it's ok to show emotions, you can rely on others for help and it doesn't make you weak, it's ok to not be ok, it's ok to take breaks for yourself, ect ect) and Genji appreciates this so much

When Genji goes out on missions, he likes to buy atleast some kind of chocolate, and likes to take it to Angela as a present, they have a bet going on, saying that if Genji can find chocolate from anywhere that's better then Switzerland Chocolate, then she'll finally take a break from doctoring and go out to an arcade with him for once, he's proved unsuccessful so far, but Angela is happy with his determination and efforts (I've actually tried Switzerland Chocolate, and it is literally the best thing I've ever tasted, 1000/10 would recommend)

Genji and Tracer constantly race each other, and they often end in Genji jokingly accusing Tracer of using her teleportation, and Tracer will jokingly accuse Genji of using "dragon magic" as a joke, they end up laughing over it every time

Anytime Cole complains about his metal arm, Genji likes to hold up a soda, or tea, or whatever drink is near him, not take off his visor, and just make judgemental slurping noises, sometimes Cole just laughs and apologizes, but when he's down, he apologizes and says how "I shouldn't be complainin' about it.." , and Genji has to reasure him that it's ok and that it's just a joke, and often trains with Cole to get his mind off of it

When Genji sees Reaper (aka Gabriel Reyes), he always tries to talk with him, saying how "it's not to late to change your fate" and "I can help you find peace, if you just let me in", and Reaper always says "My fates already been decided, you're the only one who can't accept that though" and "Let you in where? My soul? That thing is long gone, kid" (edge lord Reaper)

Genji always feels bad when he remembers Gabe, Gabe was like a father to him during Blackwatch, and now that he's turned into this persona named Reaper?...It makes him feel like that could have happened to him if he didn't choose peace, and he always feels like Gabe is in there somewhere, and that he just need to keep trying

Genji often listens to Lucio's music, it's much different from the songs he heard in Japan, so this new style of music is interesting to him, Genji really likes how it makes him feel pumped up, and understands why Lucio is very passionate about his music making skills

Genji knows literally every Vine due to the fact that Hana made him watch alot of Vine compilations when he found peace and returned to Overwatch

Genji is still getting the hang of trends and trendy things to say (ie: lit, poggers, blorbo, SUS, bussin, ba-dussy) and often says it at the wrong parts of a sentence, and this absolutely KILLS everyone, Jack just looks so done with it all, Hana is dying by how wrong he said it, Lena is dying and cringing at the same time, Winston is hella confused, Lucio already recorded it and posted it, and Angela and Hanzo are shaking their heads like 'god help me please'

[[REMEMBER, these are all headcannons and therefore are not true, these are solely based on what I think would happen, and some parts are based on lore]]

Reaper:

The fact that anyone would consider it is beyond me

Everyone knows that your with Gabriel

Not because you like to brag or tell

But because Reaper deliberately told everyone and then explained that anyone who touches you or makes you cry WILL die. No matter the reason

So no ones bothered you too much

But one small group of talon members think that its all a joke

So one day they push and shove you, and honestly its like being in a school yard with a bunch of bullies

They think everything is okay until they hear the first bang and the splatter of blood

Boy, there is SO much blood. He kills everyone without hesitation 

Is very protective of his woman

Your the only thing he loves in this world.

McCree

Back in Overwatch he was a bit of an ass

Had this whole ‘can do what I want’ phase going on, like some toddler not getting his way

Changed when he met you, because no was definitely in your vocabulary

The two of you of you just seemed to fit really well together

Tends to be very possessive of you

It isn’t intentional. But as a kid who grew up with nothing, the fact that your his…he feels like you could be taken away from him

One time he caught a guy to cop a feel of your ass

Jesse had seen and broken the mans nose

Is usually quite calm

Does not tolerate when others treat you poorly

Loves you a lot

Genji

You two fell in love before prefall

Not once did you fall for his self pity party, and you pushed him to do better

You were the only person he didn’t feel like had their own agenda, and the fact that you weren’t scared of him made him like you more

The two of you started dating not long after, and Genji could never figured out why you agreed.

At one point he caught one of the other trainee’s trying to hold you buy the waist

Just saying, the guy is super lucky to have his fingers still.

If you hadn’t stopped him, Genji could have killed him one hundred percent

Years later and after learning under Zenyatta, Genji gets flustered when asked about his lack of control that night

But ultimately he says he can’t regret it

He can never regret stopping someone from hurting or touching

So I slept less than three hours due to my insomnia and needless to say I'm fucking wrecked so what did I do? Right! I wrote something about my husbando Genji. Show him some love everyone🖤

•Genji was smitten when he first saw you. Luckily you couldn't see his face, the way he stared at you, completely speechless

•Young Genji wouldn't have wasted a second, going up to you and letting his charms work

•But he has changed and so he tries a more subtle approach; Getting to know you better first by engaging you in chats more often

•There more he gets to know you the more he falls for you, which he, of course, notices

•Now he had been a playboy in his earlier days, woohing men and women alike, but if it comes to such things like love and a serious relationship, he's quite inexperienced. Nothing he's had so far lasted long enough, even habouring such strong feelings towards someone was foreign to him

•He won't tell you right away. He meditated a lot and confined in Zenyatta, very hesitant about this, bevor making the decision to tell you about his feelings

•Despite accepting him the way he is, he still fears you won't. Dating a cyborg is quite the peculiar thing, after all

•He would probably ask you to look at the night sky with him, admiring your face as you observe the stars, before gathering himself and confessing

•He is surprised and overjoyed when you say you feel the same. You can't see it, but he's got the biggest smile on his lips and that sparkle in his eyes

•Since then you've been slowly making your way towards a relationship, considering your occupation at Overwatch and what the both of you have gone through, it takes some time, but it's worth it

•Will proudly introduce you to Zenyatta if you don't already know him, and his hearts melts when you become friends with the omnic

•Genji isn't a sucker for PDA per se, but expect soft gestures from him nevertheless, like holding your hand or actively searching for your company. In private he's rather clingy though

•Someone once flirted with you, and oh boy he was at your side within seconds. At first he's going to politely ask them to stop flirting and touching you, especially when it makes you uncomfortable. But if someone is really taking it to far with hitting on you he's going to talk with a tone that sounds light, yet has a very dark and murdery undertone. After that, no ones dares flirt with you anymore

•The way he talks and acts is so very different now, you can really tell that he's comfortable around you

•Apropos comfortable; You have to be patient with him, especially if it comes to revealing his past and his face to you. Poor him is gonna be very hesitant and nervous about it, fearing that his scars might make you turn away from him

•He almost cries tears of love and joy when you look at his face with the same loving gaze as always, telling him you'll love him no matter what

•The longer your relationship goes on for, the more often he'll take off his visor around you, savouring your touch on his skin

Oh boi NSFW, let’s go. I’ll do my best!!... okay this turned out terrible. Sorry- - - - - - - - -

GENJI

- You were the one that had to bring up the talk of getting more intimate with each other due to Genji being patient and not bringing the topic up. He could read your body language.

- But that is to say that he may or may not of have certain thoughts fogging up his mind and steaming his systems. Meditating did not seem to help him in the slightest leaving himself frustrated with the fact that the rather un-innocent thoughts would not leave him.

- Since it’s your first time he’s going to go slow and easy on you. But that does not mean he will tease the hell out of you.

- He’ll be painstakingly slow in taking off your shirt as his hands slither around your waist picking at your waistband of your pants.

- Genji will leave lingering butterfly kisses from your jaw to your collarbone. The moment you think he’s done that he’ll go back along that line only to suck on the spots he kisses.

- When the clothes are off you’re still having the entree. He will praise your body like there is no tomorrow. Caressing every muscle. Kissing every inch of your skin. 

Sorry, wasn’t sure if this was sexual or not but I can’t imagine many noises being made in bed unless its because of sex

McCree

Literally, he just can’t get enough of you

Your the most perfect partner he can ask for

Your sweet, your passionate and you think his cowboy jokes are funny…or at least, you pretend to when no one else will and that’s good enough.

He loves how your ears turn pink when you get flustered or shy

And how you can never seem to sit still

His favorite thing though is the little noises you make in bed when he touches or excites you

McCree LIVES to hear these noises

They melt his heart and are honestly a huge turn on

Genji

Is utterly devoted to you

The fact that you can love him despite how different he looks…

It’s just like the universe made you for him, he thought, to maybe show him that he was still deserving of love..

One thing that always gets him hot is the way you bite your lip

Usually you do it when your thinking

And boy is it a turn on for him 

Just as much as a turn on as the noises you make in bed

You always get super flustered but the little whimpers and mewls of pleasure you let loose just drive his system insane

Lucio: 

Is one of the sweetest boyfriends

Seems to have really good instincts when it comes it you

Whether it be to bring you a box of chocolates, to give you space or when your hiding your feelings

Lucio tries hard to make you happy

One thing he always gets him through the day is your smile

When the two of you are having sex or are getting ready to, those noises you make literally melts his heart 

He doesn’t even know how to process

Its just because you sound so happy

So I want to apologize. This was one of the responses I almost had done, and I was just getting ready to hit post but like an idiot I hit something I shouldn’t have. The other responses were incredibly detailed, each with their own unique situations and they were super cute. But I really hate re-writing something I’ve already made, especially when it was as long as I had these three so we’ll see

Update: Worse, I seem to be making them even longer then the previous

Junkrat:

So he didnn’t know that you hid under furniture when you were scared, nor did he always think of the repercussions of his actions

One day he insisted on showing you his work shop, filled of bombs and wires and other weird creations he’d had in the works.

It made you nervous but this was Jamison Fawkes, your Jamie, and you wanted to be a good girlfriend. To be a good girlfriend, you wanted to let him show you what he was ever so passionate about…even if it made you uneasy

It was all good at first, but then Jamie also insisted on showing you how to wire one of his small grenades. He noticed you standing a bit back, and admittedly he was more focused on your pretty face then connecting the correct wires

To his delighted shock, it exploded and sent him toppling off his stool. Laughing, Junkrat thought it was a good blast until he realized you were missing and saw the door click shut to the shop

Instantly he felt bad. Even though Jamie didn’t fully grasp why everyone couldn’t have his fascination with bombs, he knew it wasn’t fair to force his hobbies on you…Roadhog had told him that many times.

Off he went in search of you, searching every room of the house you both had moved into recently. Every room he went too, he couldn’t find you.

Finally Junkrat paused outside the room you declared untouchable to him. It was the one room Jamie wasn’t allowed to enter, likely because it would be clean

Taking a breath, Junkrat prepared to have to you yell at him and then opened the door. Blinking, he was surprised to not see you at all. The room was tidy though, and her understood your need to have a room free of him

Walking in, Junkrat slowly went around the room, before pausing when his peg leg accidentally kicked something on the ground. Looking down, he noticed your sneaker and….your leg?

Looking, Junkrat realized you were hunched beneath the desk, hands over your eyes. Seeing you there, struggling to remember to breath…Junkrat’s eyes softened.

Sitting on the floor, he scooted close enough so that his arm brushed yours, making you jump. You looked up at him with teary eyes and tried to take a deep breath.

“I’m sorry,” you whispered.

Jamie shook his head and reached over to smooth the hair from your cheek, wincing at the slight smudge his fingers left on your skin. “No. I’m the one who is sorry, darl’. Tis me own fault…I shouldna forced ye to go in the shop,” Jamie said with a sad smile. “I…I hope ye’ll fergive me, darl’, I was a right dongo, I was…”

Slowly you shook your head, trying to steady your breathing. The warmth of his arm soothed you, and you inched closer so that you fit into his side… he was like a heater, and you loved how warm he made you.

“You’re not a…a dongo…?” you said hesitantly. “I just…I get scared easily…And then I ran for the first place I thought I could take cover…I…when I get scared, I tend to curl up under tables or desks…Habit from when I was younger.”

It embarrassed you, as a grown woman, that anything could frighten you enough that you had to hide under furniture when frightened…

As if sensing your thought, Jamie took your chin and gave you a lopsided smile that melted your heart. “Think it’s kinda cute, honest,” he murmured, pressing a sooty kiss to your nose.

Realizing he left another smudge, he couldn’t help the giggle that escaped him. Neither could you honestly, and feeling a bit better, the two of you stayed curled up there under the desk for a long time.

Reaper:

Literally, the man spent an entire day trying to find you

Uppon noticing you weren’t there at breakfast, he searched for you in the halls.

The bathrooms. The Training room. The Hangar. Common Area.

No matter where he seemed to check, no one had seen you once this morning. And Widowmaker refused to use her recon visor in a building FULL of people, because she’d never be able to tell everyone apart.

Frustrated, Reaper had to give up for the evening. Duties had to be dealt with, and his frustration only grew more when you failed to come to practice.

Messages were sent to your phone. Oh yes, the big bad reaper has a cell phone-you made him get one and his only contact is you (his choice, not yours). When you don’t answer him, he almost breaks his phone in anger

Later that evening, he goes back to his room. Like a bachelor suite, it comes equipt with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and small living room space. Its large and enough for a man like him.

You still haven’t answered, he notices, and kicks his boots off at the door. Where ARE you? He’s starting to get worried at this point. Are you okay? Are you injured? Had something happened to you?

Growling, he started across the room when something caught his attention. One of the kitchen chairs was pulled out, and Reaper knew he hadn’t gone into his kitchen this morning.

Frowning, he took off his mask and placed it on the table. No one was in the room as far as he could see. Then he thought…

Looking under the table, Reaper was stunned to see you sitting there with your knees to your chest, looking lost in thought and gazing into space. God, had you been here this entire time?

Crouching, Reaper felt a burst of annoyance.

“Hello?” he growled. “Have you been here all day? What the hell, y/n, you missed practice!” he snapped.

For a moment you didn’t respond, but when you did you looked at him in surprise. “Oh…hi Reaper. Didn’t see you come in,” you murmur, as if he hadn’t spoken. “Sorry, am I in your way?”

Reaper could only stare for a moment, before he let out a long sigh. “Y/n, why are you hiding under my table? And why haven’t you answered my messages?” he asked finally, staring at you hard. He wanted to remain intimidating-you should be scared.

For a moment you blinked, then you pulled your phone from your pocket. Showing him, you gave him a rather sad smile. “Its dead. Sorry. I didn’t realize…and I’m thinking,” you said, putting it away.

“What could you be thinking about that takes a whole day of sitting under my table?” he asks, scowling now, but there was a touch of worry. You were known for having good days and bad, and despite his rough nature, he did genuinely care.

Hesitantly, you give him another smile that just broke his undead heart. “Life, I guess. You. Me…Us. Talon. I just…its one of those days. And when I start thinking of my unending existence, I like to do it under the table. Which…is weird, I guess, but its comforting,” you murmured, resting your chin on your knees.

For a moment, you thought that Reaper was going to chew you out anyway. No need to take pity after all.

Then after a moment, Reaper eased himself onto the floor with a grunt, sliding beneath the table with you. He didn’t like the cramped space, but it was worth it to pull you against his side. 

“Whatever. Next time you want to contemplate life beneath my table though, call me. I’ll join you. We can be miserable together,” he grumbles, and you can’t help the small giggle that escapes you. The two of you were never miserable together.

“Okay,” you murmured, pressing your face into his chest, his fingers rubbing gentle circles onto your shoulder. “I’ll remember that for next time.”

Having a supportive, though evil, boyfriend was a perk you were blessed with.

Genji:

The two of you were laying in bed one night

Genji is the only one who is very aware of your need to hide under furniture when your scared or sad. He thinks its cute, but it can sometimes be problematic if he’s looking for you

Tonight though, the two of you were sleeping when you began to get restless. You were having a terrible nightmare, one that scared you so bad that you shot straight up in the bed

Heart pounding and your lungs struggling to take in air, you couldn’t calm yourself

Genji felt the shift of your weight in the bed and started to wake up slowly. 

“Y/n…” he yawned, slowly rolling to face you. “Are you…” 

Eyes catching sight of your face in the pale moonlight, he sat up abruptly and immediately was awake. The tears pouring down your cheeks had him incredibly concerned, and your shaking had him gently rubbing your arms.

“Shhhh baby, its okay,” Genji said softly, eyes full of concern as he pulled you closer. “Did you have a nightmare, sweetheart?”

Clutching your chest, you struggled still to get ahold of yourself but managed a nod, unable to speak around the sobs that threatened to choke you.

Genji pushed the hair from your face and tried to murmur soothing words. You didn’t seem to be calming and Genji knew that there was a good chance only one thing would work.

Shoving the blanket and pillow off the bed, Genji looked at you. 

“C’mon,” he says gently. “We’re sleeping under the bed tonight.”

Eyes flickering up to his, you managed a small nod. It surprised you that he remembered this trait of yours to hide under the furniture when you were scared, as it was very rare that things frightened you. Then again, Genji had always been observant that way and remembered the small things…

The two of you climbed beneath the bed

Immediately, Genji pulled the pillow beneath your heads, and facing each other you two found yourself in a blanket burrito as he wrapped it around you both.

Cradling you, you pressed you face in his neck, knowing it couldn’t be easy for him being in this incredibly cramped space.

“Do you feel any better, y/n?” Genji asked softly after a few minutes, though he already knew the answer. He could feel your heartbeat against him, feel as it slowed to a steady beat gradually. Could hear your breath as it evened out as you calmed.

Slowly, you nodded, closing your eyes as you tried to press closer. Genji was so comfortable, you thought hazily, but the nightmare lingered at the front of your mind, preventing sleep.

“Don’t think about it,” Genji says softly, as if sensing your thoughts. “You are okay, my love. I’m okay. The team is safe…And I love you,” he whispered. Those words always sent a tingle down your spine and you couln’t help the smile that tugged at your lips.

“I love you,” you whispered, wanting to believe him that all was okay.
