Spy AU
In which McCree is the target, and Hanzo is undercover agent’s handler as they attempt to sway and woo McCree into a trap to bring him to justice.
Except McCree doesn’t fall for the spy, but Hanzo.
———
He’s in disguise himself, fitting in seamlessly with the ritzy night club they knew McCree would attend that night. So seamless, he bleeds into the background; or so he thought. McCree slides into the empty seat next him, ordering a triple whiskey neat.
As the bartender turns away, the smile turns to look Hanzo directly in the eye. The all knowing look on McCree’s face contrasted against the alluring smile on McCree’s—ruggedly handsome, freshly clean shaven (When had that happened? Their intel hadn’t mentioned that!!)—face.
Hanzo hid it all under a neutral look on his face.
McCree throws him a wink to render him in a complete stupor, for good measure. “When word got to me about an attempt on me, I didn’t think they knew exactly my type, Jesus. I’d hate to kill ya darlin’, so why don’t we just kiss and pretend this meetin’ never happened.”
Nothing but static hummed in the empty spaces of Hanzo’s mind, every brain cell and every synapse working double time to decipher the words falling out of McCree’s mouth. Despite still not done parsing the sentence, Hanzo heard himself answer. “I beg your pardon?”
A glint of light betrayed the swift way McCree brought his hand to his chest. “Oh, honeybee, don’t be puttin’ these thoughts in my head, you, beggin’. Now we have to part in order to keep this civil.”
On the outside, Hanzo remained a vision of confusion, just enough on that side of neutral to keep up his ploy. On the inside, his heart hammered in his throat, thoughts of his own adding its own fuel to his anxiously beating heart.
“S-sir, I think you have me mistaken for s-someone else—“
“You’re here to catch me, aren’tcha? You’re the honeypot they sent, and a mighty fine one, I need to know how your team incepted me or something because spot on—but I’m getting ahead of myself, there. You can drop the act, hon, it’s no worry.”
A single laugh broke Hanzo’s hard fought mask of composure. “W-what.” Another laugh followed, coming out of his nose, its surprise evidently creating more and more hairline fissures in his resolve. “You think— No, y-you think I’m. I’m the honeypot?”
Tears of mirth welled in his eyes through the sheer stupidity of it all, his laughter kept to a difficult minimum, but a minimum nonetheless. When he chanced to open his eyes, he caught a light blush coloring McCree’s face, a universal symbol of embarrassment. But looking into his eyes told of a different story. Endearment reflected the dim lights in the club, shining brightly through the wispy atmosphere. If McCree were to suddenly get drop kicked in the head, his expression would remain the same: a man in love.
