Hana groaned, getting back to the room from the bathroom was a pain in the ass. Though on the way back she saw Lucio hanging outside. It looked like he had just finished up a phone call. “Who called?”

“There you are. Ugh it was a client and something had to be settled with the manager. Hopefully it didn’t take too long.” Lucio looked a bit annoyed. “I said that I would be busy tonight but they refused to just leave a message. Now that that’s done I can just enjoy the party.”

Once inside, Hana scouted for Brigitte and clapped happily. “Look, look.”

Lucio looked in the direction his girlfriend hyperly pointed at to see Brigitte talking with Hanzo and whistled. “At least she had good company while we disappeared.”

“He practically gave me the deathglare for flirting with her too.” Genji suddenly popped up and placed his arms over their shoulders. “Though with how she was looking at bro when he came by, I don’t think I would have stood a chance anyway besides she said no. So what’s the story between those two? My brother isn’t exactly famous for going out of his way to make conversation of that sort. Plus it had to be after he returned, since you said she came while he was away.”

“They met when she was getting off work a few days ago.” Hana said, stopping a waiter to get more snacks. She didn’t want to give Genji too much fuel by saying much more. “Apparently they got along.”

“I can see that.” Genji stole one of the snacks causing Hana to give him a look. “That might explain why he came home late Wednesday night.”

“We probably shouldn’t be gawking at them, guys.” Lucio mumbled.

“But it’s fun to observe my brother going through a new experience of getting to know a girl.” Genji said before letting out a gasp from Hana elbowing him in the gut a bit too hard. “Oww.”

“It wasn’t that hard, baby.” Hana replied. “Let them be.”

Brigitte was tired by the time they returned back home. Quickly she got out of her dress,undid her hair and removed all the make-up to get into her night shirt. Placing her phone next to the cd she had gotten on the bedside table. Sushi was loafing out on her covers and gave a long mew of happiness when Brigitte sat on the bed and pet him.

“Tonight was fun, Sushi.” Brigitte mumbled, nuzzling the cat’s face. “I met some nice people, got to listen to really great music and….got to talk to him again. I even got his number. He was so handsome too.“

Sushi gave a trill sound and moved to snuggle in her arms. Slowly Brigitte fell asleep against the warm fur, with the biggest smile on her face.

“You seem happy.” Akari said as they got back to the apartment.

“He talked to a pretty girl all night. So I bet he would be” Genji teased, running off before his brother could say anything.

“I saw you getting her number.” Zarya laughed heartily, giving Hanzo a big pat on the back. “Well I’m heading to bed, I need to get up early for a run in morning. Nochi.”

Normally their teasing would have affected his mood but it didn’t this time. The warm feeling still hadn’t gone away. “Yes I had a pleasant evening.”

Akari grinned and pushed a few hairs behind his ear. “I’m glad, it was good to see you smile like that. So,what’s the name of the person that managed to catch my nephew’s eye?”

“Her name is Brigitte Lindholm. I met her when I was practicing on Wednesday and we got to have a short but nice conversation.” Hanzo sighed a little but smiled. “She started working at the concert hall recently. It was strange to meet someone that didn’t fawn over me for my family name.”

“Then I think you should really keep up this friendship. It will be good for you.”

“I would like that greatly.” Hanzo leaned over and kissed his aunt’s cheek. “Though for now I am heading for bed. Sleep well.”

“You too.” Akari watched as he went down the hall to his room. She was honestly heartwarmed to see her nephew like this and hoping it wouldn’t get ruined.
