The Hero That Stole My Heart (Saitama x Reader)

-19-

~(Y/n) Pov~

     We had stopped at a random udon shop that wasn't completely destroyed by the meteor. I can't remember the last time I had udon since moving, and I sure missed it cause I ate myself sick. Saitama was grumbling under me as he was giving me a piggyback due to my complaining about my stomach.

     "Next time, quit when your full..." he mumbled. I rolled my eyes.

     "Oh please, you act like I'm the heaviest thing you've carried.." I flicked the back of his head, he didn't even flinch. He mumbled something about me being the exact opposite of heavy. 'Good answer...' I thought to myself as he carried me all the way back to the apartment. It was nice, not having to take the long trek back on on foot, Saitama's back was surprisingly comfortable to lay on as well. I ended up falling asleep halfway there...

     "I wanna come with you!" A small boy with black hair cried out as he clung onto the also small girl. Her (e/c) orbs filled with sadness as she looked to her best friend, she didn't want to leave him behind. She didn't want to leave her home, or have to learn a second language. Did currency even work the same as it did in Japan? She hugged him softly, holding back her tears.

     "You know you can't, Sai. I wanna stay here, but we have to go with Dad... I'll write like I promised, and when we get phones we can call!" She said to him, trying to cheer him up like he had always done for her.

     "But, who will keep Hiro at bay? I could never scare him off like you do!" She smiled softly, running her fingers through his soft hair.

     "You'll be fine!"

~Saitama Pov~

     (Y/n) had become more limp on my back as her breathing slowed down. I tightened my grip on her thighs slightly to support her better. She had started mumbling random words and gibberish. I had finally made it to the apartments, leaning down a little so I could open my door with one of my hands and not have to worry about dropping the sleeping woman. I used my foot to shut the door behind me, a small footprint formed where I kicked it.

     "Dammit.." I mumbled to myself before using the edge of my foot to unfold my futon, laying (Y/n) down on it softly so I wouldn't wake her up. She flipped over onto her side, small snores could be heard. I smiled slightly as I left to change into some more casual clothing. 'I'll clean this later..' I thought to myself as I put my hero suit in the same place I always put it. I came back out into the main part of the apartment to see (Y/n) still asleep, but Pecan was laying next to her curled up.

     "How the hell did you get in here?" I mumbled to the cat, walking over and petting the top of her head. I smiled slightly as I could hear her purring softly. Sitting down on the futon next to (Y/n), I clicked on the tv. It was still on the news but I flipped through the channels till I gave up and let it stay on a random one, throwing the remote off to a random part of the apartment. I felt Pecan paw at my leg, making me look down.

     "What?" I asked her, confused by the action. She mewled softly, as if trying to talk to me like I could understand her. I huffed, petting the top of her head. A small purr as a response, before moving over to (Y/n) again. I was sitting near her head so Pecan had to crawl over her to lay directly in-front of the (h/c) girl's face. (Y/n) in return turned over so the kitten's fur wasn't tickling her face, her head bumping into my thigh.

     "A sleepover? Why do you wanna have one of those?" The young black haired boy questioned the young girl, who had a huge grin on her face.

     "Cause I've never had one before, and you haven't either!" She explained to the boy, her (e/c) orbs filled with excitement as she spoke. "It'd be fun, my mom said it was fine as long as your parents didn't care." The boy thought for a moment before a smile graced his featured.

     "I'll go ask then!" He sat up from the swing set they were sitting on, it was their favorite spot to hang out. The girl followed in suit, grabbing the boy's hand.

     "Can I come along?" She asked, hoping that she could convince his family if he couldn't alone. The boy's face tinted with pink as he felt her soft hand connect with his, nodding softly as he returned the grip. He pulled her along to his place, his parents didn't seem to mind so he packed a bag for the night and left with the girl back to her house.

     I heard (Y/n) mumbling something softly once again, but it was mostly random sounding words that didn't make any sense. I ran my hand through her hair softly, the soft (h/c) hair going through my fingers without any trouble. I smiled slightly before retracting my hand from her hair

~(Y/n) Pov

I woke up to something loud crashing, making me jolt awake from the sound disturbing my sleep. I rubbed the sleep out of my eye as I examined the apartment.

"Dammit, Genos, knock next time won'tcha?" I heard Saitama as from above me, I looked up to see I had been using Saitama's lap as a pillow while I was passed out from the udon. I sat up into a sitting position with my face warming up slightly. I looked over to the cyborg, who had busted through the door. It wasn't broken but there was now a dent in the wall from where the doorknob hit the wall.

"Looks like we're gonna have to get some plaster.." I mumbled as I leaned back onto the wall, still kinda tired from just waking up from my peaceful slumber. Saitama groaned quietly as he got up to examine the dent. I felt something crawl into my lap, looking down to see Pecan. 'Did Sai bring you in here?' I asked myself since I locked my door before I came here to hang out with the guys.

"I'm sorry Master, I will fix the hole but I came because Bang told me about what happened when you and (Y/n)-san left earlier. Do I need to teach them a lesson for treating you as a villain?" The glow in his eye told me he was going to be violent.

"Saitama can handle himself, Genos. Trust me, Sai's pride isn't affected by the event that had happened earlier," I calmed the cyborg down, the glow seeming to dim down. I looked outside to see the sun had been set for a small while now since I couldn't see any part of the sun.

"Honestly, I don't do it for fame.." Saitama mumbled as I stood up, scooping Pecan up into my arms.

"We know Sai," I said to him as I put a hand on his shoulder with a small smile on my face. "I need to take a shower/bath, I gotta go to work tomorrow so imma head home. I'll see you two tomorrow," I told the two boys, they both said their goodbyes as I left the apartment. I pulled out my key to unlock my door, which was still locked.

"No way Saitama remembered to lock this.." I mumbled to myself as I looked down at Pecan. 'How did you get into Saitama's apartment?'
