Genji and I had been assigned to a mission together, just the two of us alone. This wasn’t bad of course, Genji having been my boyfriend for just over a year now. However, what was bad is the fact that we were now cornered in the base we were infiltrating, Genji stood in front of me, arm holding me back to prevent me from stepping in front of him.
“Hand over the girl.” One of the men demanded, making Genji growl.
“Not going to happen.” Genji spat, grip tightening on me to make sure I didn’t move.
“She’s more use to us than you, Mr Shimada.” The hooded man besides the previous man said, taking a step forward towards us only for Genji to jump back, pushing me with him.
“Never.”
I could feel Genji practically shaking with anger, but his hold on me was still delicate, as though I could be broken at the slightest movement. I knew if he was to remove his faceplate he would be red in the face.
“Awe, is Mr Shimada, the playboy, in love?” The taller man taunted him, trying his best to provoke him by mentioning his past.
“Genji.” I spoke, my voice is a quiet tone as I squeezed his hand hoping to calm him.
“She speaks!” They chuckled, taking another step forward before dashing towards me, taking me in their arms, away from Genji who growled.
“I’ll kill you.” He spat, drawing his sword along with Soba.
The second Genji ran at them, they dropped me before darting away as Genji also darted towards me, holding me in his arms.
“Are you okay, my love?” He asked, hugging me tightly which I gladly returned.
“I’m okay, Genji.” I smiled, feeling him squeeze me as if to check I was there.
