Chapter Text
Winter was one of your favorite seasons, but for another it was the worst. You loved the small white snowflakes that rained down and covered the world in a cold blanket of ivory. He hated it and longed for the warm breeze of summer. He wanted the familiar pink cherry blossoms of his homeland that would flutter in the breeze and the vibrant jade grass that would tickle his feet. While you loved winter, he loved summer and this was the same in everything you two did or enjoyed. You were polar opposites, and everyone knew it from how you two acted. Yet somehow you were friends even through all of this.
So here you two were now both out in the snow with the rest of the Overwatch agents who weren’t out on missions joined by a few criminals who you were currently in an uneasy alliance with. Surprisingly though was one man in particular who you’d managed to coax out into the frigid weather. He was giving you a sidelong glare of annoyance as his usual frown seemed to be deeper set than normal. You grinned as you elbowed your friend, “Come on Hanzo, lighten up. It’s just snow! I swear this will be fun.”
“Hmph...your ideas of fun and my ideas of fun are on completely different spectrums, (y/n). Besides you know I hate the snow.”
“Oh stop being such a grouch and lighten up!” you whined.
“I’m not being a grouch. I’m being honest I-”
He didn’t get to finish his sentence as he was suddenly nailed in the face with a snowball and sent to the cold ground. Your jaw dropped as your gaze moved to see who had thrown the snowball. You spotted them and realized it was Ana, the woman standing rigid with her arm out as she realized how hard she’d hit the poor archer. You noticed that the others were all standing still as well and staring at you two.
You had both been so involved in arguing over Hanzo killing the mood that neither of you had heard Soldier: 76 call for the fight to start. You blinked before looking back to the archer. He was slowly sitting up, and you were struggling not to start laughing at the sight. Half his face was covered in snow, and his precious hair had snow sticking to it in clumps.
You covered your mouth as you started to giggle at the sight. A low growl rumbled deep in the Shimada’s chest as he heard you laughing at him, and he opened his one non-snow covered eye to glare at you as your laughter got worse. The others were laughing too. He could hear them struggling to hold it back, but you were not even able to control it, and he was definitely going to get revenge for you dragging him out into this hell.
He suddenly lunged at you with a shout, and you shrieked as he dragged you down into the snow and sent you both tumbling. You screeched as you two fell down the small slope in a tangle of legs and arms, the world spinning above you in a flurry of white and blue. You two eventually slid to a stop at the bottom with Hanzo’s incredibly warm body above you and the soft, but chilly snow below you. You groaned as he pulled away a little, and you wiped snow from your face and eyes.
You blinked a few times, head spinning until you were able to see him without seeing double or triple of him. He was smiling slightly in amusement at you with soft caramel eyes that gleamed in the sunlight. You were entranced for a few moments before you snapped out of it and glared up at him. “What was that for!?” you shouted.
“Calm down. Next time you won’t laugh at my misfortunes now, will you?”
“Ugh you’re so petty!”
“Perhaps, but you did make me get a snowball to the face.”
“Hmph you deserve it!”
“I did not!”
“Yes you do, you grump.”
“I’ve told you before, I am not a grump!”
“Hmph I beg to differ.”
He let out a loud sigh before saying, “You’re insufferable.”
“Yet you still hang out with me.”
“It’s not like I have a choice. Even if I told you to leave, you’d return.”
“Exactly,” you said before you came to the reality he was still on top of you. “Uhm...Hanzo can you get off now?”
“Oh uhm...yes,” he replied awkwardly and got off.
You sat up and shook snow from your hair before you realized he was offering you a hand. You accepted it shyly, and he pulled you to your feet. He waited as you dusted yourself off before you two trekked up the hill to where the others were waiting. The criminals had left leaving Ana and Soldier: 76 waiting for your return. “Took you long enough,” grunted Soldier, and you blushed slightly as Ana shook her head, muttering something about young kids.
You brushed it off as Hanzo walked by the older man without a word, and you followed him back to the base. Ana’s comment slightly bothered you. There was nothing between you and Hanzo. You were just friends with very different views on the world. However, you felt slightly disappointed at that fact for some reason. You didn’t

did you? No, there was no way. He was just a friend and that’s how you both liked it. At least...that’s what you thought.
