Her Nature Part 1

Author's Notes: I AM SO SORRY THIS TOOK THIS LONG. I never intended it to take me this long to finish. In hindsight, I wrote the last 4-5 thousand words in 7 hours yesterday. It goes to show that I can churn out something fast (although it probably wouldn't be that good).

I feel ashamed I had you guys wait for so long.

I'll explain what happened and why it took so long to update you in more detail. For now, please enjoy! VERY IMPORTANT NEWS AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER.

Her Nature Part 1

City A: August 9, 2023 - 1:03 PM

Eleven days. It's been that long since she last saw Saitama when she was under his hospitality.

She took it easy. She was recovering from her internal injuries. She occasionally would slay a random Demon-level threat that happened to be in her vicinity.

She fully recovered a week after her departure.

She talked to her sister almost daily, either on the phone or in person. Hearing her get spooked that a potential threat managed to hurt her made her paranoid.

She waved off her concerns, reassuring her she had dealt with the threat before Saitama arrived.

When she first arrived, she didn't say anything when she returned home. Fubuki simply hugged her tight. She gave her small pecks to her head and small head pats.

She was never that keen on physical affection with or from her sister. She had to be tough for both, but she let it calm her down. She'd been hectic, and it was her fault she was like this.

Then, after a day of talking, the next day, she was busy with her little group... and she started asking so many questions about Saitama.

What they talked about, what they did, if he was gentle... at first, she thought these questions were simply her curiosity getting the best of Fubuki... Then, she started asking very personal and insinuating questions. She could feel the romcom bullcrap oozing out of Fubuki, and it annoyed her to no end.

She thought she had shut that down then and there when she told Fubuki to quit it... but she was resilient and didn't stop for the next nine days or so.

... And while she didn't regret telling her sister that Saitama was catering to her during her short duration... She did not enjoy Fubuki teasing her about it.

It was annoying having to be reminded of her two-day 'vacation' with Saitama. It was nice that she was using it as a distraction, but the constant repetition of her two-day stay started getting on her nerves.

But if she were honest with herself... she enjoyed it... somewhat.

Fubuki was a massive romantic; she's always been. With all the romance movies she was forced to watch while growing up, She never cared about them - and many of them were pretty bad. Though she admitted, some of them were funny.

She found Fubuki's newfound 'obsession' regarding her 'relationship' with Saitama pretty endearing, even if it was annoying. Especially since it was nothing, they were... friends - just that.

Their conversations revolved solely around 'love' this and that nonstop. She knew she shouldn't encourage it... she didn't want to see Saitama again; he made her feel anxious, bashful, weird, and safe.
