It was nice, like it usually was. The sun was starting to set in the sky, turning it to light orange color. The cool evening breeze wafted among the mountains.

The temple statues sat at the entrance, welcoming anyone who entered. Genji sighed, it was good to be back. He walked calmly as he passed many other buildings and houses, getting closer to where he resided.

After a few moments, he reached his place, it may be small but it was home. He then started to unpack what he had.

There was a few knocks, Genji turned to look where the sound was heard. He smiled beneatch his mask.

"Hello master, good evening."

"Good evening to you as well. How was your training my pupil?" Zenyatta had asked.

"It was most enjoyable, Thank You for asking." Zenyatta bowed slightly.

"Good to hear, now I will let you rest. You've traveled quite a ways. I will see you tomorrow. Good night Genji." 

"Ok, Good night master." They bid eachother farewell until the sun rises the next day.

Genji finished unpacking and layed down on his bed. He may be a cyborg but he was exhausted. The sun fully set, painting the sky full of stars.

*The Next Day*

Genji awoke, the sunlight streaming in his room. He sat up and lightly yawned. After a few minutes he stood up and strolled outside. He walked a little bit until he sat down by the ledge of a hill, his personal meditating spot. He gentle breathed as he started his morning.

Some minutes passed as he started feeling...weird. It wasn't a bad feel though, like something was missing. He was sure he packed and brang what he had back with him.

Now that he thought about it more, he was feeling this way before he left for training as well.

Genji was in deep thought as he felt a hand on his shoulder. He opened his eyes, taking a break from meditating.

"Ah, good morning master Zenyatta. How are you this morning?" Genji felt happier suddenly, more than usual as Zenyatta took a seat beside him.

"I'm quite well and good morning also. But are you alright? You seem somewhat bothered." He asked concerned.

"Yes, but I feel like something is missing. I cannot figure out what I lost or what I'm forgetting."

Zenyatta thought for a moment. "Hmm...are you sure it's an object your missing?" He questioned. 

Now Genji became deeper in thought...was it or was it something else..?

He sighed "I'm not sure actually."
Zenyatta patted his shoulder, Genji blushed a bit beneath his mask.

"I'm sure you'll figure it out. Now, I have something to take care of. I will see you after for our meditation session for the day." 
Zenyatta lifted himself up and started on his way.

"See you master." Genji said, Zenyatta gave a wave.

Genji relaxed again. Oh great. That feeling returned once more. He sighed and pushed it aside ignoring it for now. He then continued what he was doing, morning meditation.

After an hour or so he made his way to his room.

Genji sat down in his bed, that feeling was begininng to bother him. He hit his fist on the wall, frusterated. He sighed heavily. "Why can't I figure it out...?" He thought to himself.

Master Zenyatta's question came to mind. He was right, was it really an object he's searching for?

Genji became slightly flustered at the thought of his omnic teacher. Wh-what was this new feeling? Genji blushed, slightly embarrased from this new action.

He layed down for a moment. "Hmm, I should meditate for a few minutes, it may help." He said out loud.

Genji used mediatation as time to think and to clear his thoughts if anything ever bothered him.

He went to his usual spot and began to relax himself, the calm feeling was nice. Then he thought it over. He started having that mysterious feeling since he left a few weeks ago and again since he returned. But the odd thing, is him becoming flustered everytime he was near his master.

He sighed and shrugged. He'll figure it out after. He stood up and started walking. There was a small mountain not too far, it was at least a 5 minute walk away. Zenyatta and his meditating sessions always took place there.

After minutes of walking in calm silence, he reached the mountain. He slowly walked to the top seeing Zenyatta already here.

"Ah, hello Genji. Ready?" Zenyatta turned to look at Genji.

"Ready like always master." He said as he took a seat beside the wise omnic. He breathed and started to concentrate, the calmness taking over both beings.

Genji felt, comfortable, even more so than previous times. Hmm, odd but he wasn't complaining.

He peeked open his eyes slightly, glancing over to Zenyatta. His cheeks were painted with a pink tint.

Was...it couldn't be...
Genji's heart started to pick up it's pace. He calmed hiself, thinking and going over why he felt so suddenly.

He pondered. Whenever Zenyatta came to mind, his heart becomes happy. He feels even more comfortable than usual. That missing feeling always vanished anytime anytime Zenyatta was near...

Realization suddenly washed over him...Genji loved Zenyatta...

His heart never felt happier. He figured it out. He finally realised what was missing. Genji looked at Zenyatta, still silencely meditating.

But, how would he tell him? What if he didn't understand? What if he didn't feel the same way...?

Genji was slightly shaking with worry, thinking of how to explain. Zenyatta must've noticed his struggle.

He placed a hand on Genji's shoulder.
"Are you alright Genji?" He asked in a concerned tone. Genji stiffened but slowly relaxed, calming his breathing.

"I'm fine master." Genji said.

Zenyatta tilted his head. "You do not need to hide anything my student. I am always here to talk if anything troubles you."

Genji sighed. "Well, I finally figured out what I was missing."

"Ah, congratualtions Genji."

"But, it is not an object of any sort."

"Hmm, do tell." Zenyatta taking interest.

"I was thinking more about it. Thinking throughly. I got frusterated during the process. Then everything pieced together."

Zenyatta tilted his head, waiting his answer.

"...I-I love you Zenyatta..." Genji's cheeks heated up, his chest felt lighter.

"My...you love me?" Zenyatta asked. Who would love an omnic?

"Yes. It's, whenever I'm beside you, my heart does flips. You make me feel most comfortable when your around. You've helped me when no one else would. You make me feel loved. You make me feel complete..." Genji finished off, telling him how much he felt. To be honest, Genji felt better.

Zenyatta sat there motionless, processing what had been said to him. He lifted his head, stood up and walked towards Genji.

Genji stood up also, almost falling backwards as Zenyatta imediatly hugged him.

"Genji, i appreciate your words. I never thought an omnic, such as myself feel any emotion. But you proved that wrong as I too, love you Genji Shimada."

Genji smiled and hugged the omnic back.
They stayed this way for some moments before pulling apart.

Genji lifted his mask as he placed a kiss on Zenyatta's forehead, making him chuckle.

They both sat down again, continuing they're meditation.

"I love you Zenyatta."
"I love you too Genji."

He smiled as they both intertwined their fingers, the wind flowing calmly around them both.

Now he felt complete.
