Summary
You jump only slightly when you’re embraced from behind, as the slow approach of footsteps had been exceedingly quiet, yet there nonetheless, acknowledged at most as a lingering waltz in the shallows of your subconscious. Hanzo could've very easily snuck up on you for real, but even walking normally as he was when he’d approached you, he'd been silent, too silent, and it’s enough to make you feel as though he's never quite tangible until he allows himself to be.
But this time it’s undeniable, bittersweet, even, how overwhelmingly present he is as his hands find the edges of your hips, his chest pressing warm into your back. He’s so close now, so genuine, and your heart swells at the realization that his touch holds none of the uncertainty you’ve ended up growing accustomed to. He still struggles with intimacy, and has for as long as you’ve known him, but this time the contact is definite. This time his closeness fills you with affection rather than commiseration.
