[ genji takes a moment to slurp up some of his soup - noisily. it's been years and he still does it, sorry hanzo. he licks his lips before he speaks again. ]
You are forgiven. He and I have had the question before, since we are very close. But it is platonic, not sexual.
So, if you are interested in seeing if he is curious about humans, you have nothing to fear from me.
[ you can practically hear the ♥ in his voice. ]

[ you can practically hear the ♥ in his voice. ]
[The sound is still as irritating and iconic as ever. He frowns at first but the familiarity ultimately makes him smile.]
I see. [Hanzo nods slowly, wondering whether that is by choice or because they aren't physically able to carry out the ways most might act on consensual attraction.]
I---what?? No. Do not be ridiculous, brother.
[Oh he definitely hears it and he hates that. There's no way Genji knows anything. He must be bluffing. Anything to avoid the fact that to his own kin he is painfully easy to read.]
I have never seen you as a challenge, and do not plan to start now. I have no romantic interest in your master, Genji. He is simply the first omnic that I have befriended, so apologies if I am too curious.
[P-p-p-p-oker face, p-p-poker face.]

[ slowly, a small grin forms on genji's face. sorry, hanzo, now you are the target of teasing. ]
I have never seen you as a challenge either, Hanzo. It would be silly to compete in such things.
[ takashi... notwithstanding. but back to the teasing: ]
So, you do not he is quite handsome for an Omnic?

Sure you are having no trouble?
[ but still, hanzo requests he stop, and genji does back off, finishing off his soup and popping open the soda bottle. ]
Although, your charm seems to be working regardless of how rusty you feel it is, so I guess I am the one who is the fool.

You are always the fool.
[He gives a smug sort of laugh then stands to begin clearing off the table. Still, he's glad Genji did come to visit, and more so that he brought food. If he's honest he hadn't been taking good care of himself, and didn't have much of a reason to until his brother arrived.]
I am not the same as when we were boys. I know how to get what I want when I want it. In most situations.

[ genji lets hanzo clear off the table for now, content to play the lazy little brother in this scenario. he's just glad he was able to see that hanzo had cleaned the place up. ]
So you claim!
[ genji lifts his soda to hanzo, then looks around. ]
I should bring you some plants, or decorations. It would put some more life into this place.

I strongly suggest you do not argue this one, brother. I have memories of your best moments.
[Mental highlights of all the times Genji's behavior has turned around to bite him or both of them in the ass. Some occasions more hilarious than others.]
Plants? Perhaps. Do not bother with the decorations, though. I do not plan to live here for much longer. I am working toward a bigger, nicer place in Level 1.

[Hanzo doesn't say anything about how he's been growing and hoarding his chroma to carry out his plan. Instead he just smirks at his brother, setting dishes in the sink and starting to wash.]
At any rate, you will be welcome there as you are welcome here. Whenever you need a safe place to rest your head. Or a hot tub. I plan to secure one with either a pool or a hot tub.

Really aiming for the luxuries, are you?
[ a pool would suit genji better - his synthetic skin is waterproof, but heat can be hit or miss. he watches hanzo begin to wash the dishes, standing up after a moment and stretching. ]
If you are giving me free reign to visit you in your luxurious apartment, though, I will wait to decorate for you until you've settled.

I am formulating a business plan to keep the chroma income high enough to afford such a place. You are more than welcome to stay whether or not you plan to contribute.
Though if you do, I imagine we could afford two new apartments with how much you might make. [Hanzo, after setting himself down and drying his hands from the dishes.]
You can decorate the both of them.

You may find yourself aghast, but I rather like the place I have been given currently. I've already decorated it a bit.
[ moving quickly on from that, the fact that he'd obviously keep a space all his own: ] Dear brother, are you making spreadsheets and business plans for sleeping around?

Did you learn that in the omnic monastery as well? How to channel the energies of feng shui?
[Hanzo's laughing at him on the inside, but he's not letting Genji see that. If it's up to him he would put up a single bonsai and call it a day.]
I am making spreadsheets to ensure a steady flow of chroma as interior decorating is not something I can claim to be good at.

[Wow, rude. How dare you laugh at your brother this way?]
I have to do something to keep myself busy or it will just be training and...[He nods in the direction of the trash bag full of collected beer and wine bottles.]
I need goals and objectives. Otherwise I am lost. [A pause, he smiles a little, at last.] And spreadsheets.

I would like to be frank with you in private, if I may. [Zenyatta exudes natural confidence, for the most part, but now he can't prevent his voice from wavering, just a hair, beneath the weight of his uncertainty.
Which is ridiculous. He knows that he has nothing to fear from Genji. Their bond has been tested by disagreements a great many times in the past without straining in the slightest. But then, they've never quite broached this topic before...
He continues evenly.]
I believe that your brother and I could grow closer here. Would you have any objection if we were to become sexually intimate? [with uncharacteristic haste that more or less undoes that whole air of calm:] Your feelings are of vital importance to me, my student. I could never hurt you.

You may, master.
[ but before anything else can be discussed - There It Is. there's a sudden silence that belies surprise at zenyatta's request. he's so surprised and stunned that it takes him a second to even say - ]
Give - give me a moment.
[ there is a kneejerk reaction of being upset. of worrying over zenyatta, of worrying over his brother. they could, easily, both hurt each other unintentionally. and while genji knows he can separate sex and affection, he's not so sure about hanzo himself.
it is a few minutes later that he comes back to the conversation. ]
I do not have any objections. I admit to some... concern, regarding it, but that has to do with my own worries for him. You are both adults, and ... this is in the vein of what I asked you - to be there for him. This is a natural step towards that, in this place.

[Years of meditation, of peaceful reveries, of a quiet mind, cannot change the simple fact that silence can be deadly. Uncertainty twists its knife into Zenyatta's core, and though he tries to rationalise Genji's hesitation as plainly understandable- it is an absurd question, even under the best of circumstances- a small but vocal line in his processor suggests that the conversation is already over.
It is not.
Zenyatta's relief vocalises itself as a sigh of relief, and when he speaks he sounds hopeful, even.]
Share your thoughts with me. I am not without concerns either, and I am curious to know if they will align. [A small, tapping sound: his knuckles settling pensively against his chin.] He can seem so fragile...
It is not.

[ genji knows that silence can be dangerous - it was why he'd requested a moment, in the hopes to minimize zenyatta's worry, instead of just suddenly going silent.
still, he hears that sigh and understands. his master had seemed worried, and was probably more so as he mused. at least he asks for his concerns, as well.
genji gives his own small sigh. ]
I know I have told you I was quite promiscuous in my youth. In that, Hanzo seemed my opposite in every way. The only person I know he felt strongly for I may have... also taken to bed before I realized, and he did not handle it well.
I am not so sure he will be able to separate the act of intimacy from romance. I understand that everyone is different, and that there is some level of care that one must share with their partner, but I just... worry about him getting his feelings hurt again.

I understand.
[ his tone is a little softer. he knows that hanzo is very much an always be working kind of person. even if that work has ultimately been less than legal, he needs something to do. and he will train until he is sick otherwise. ]
Well, I will seek something for us to do that is not just your spreadsheets and my favored activities.
