"N-No." He answered, to my relief. "I... I don't.."

"Of course you don't-"
"That's because I love you, Suzuno."

My eyes widen, as my face starts to heat up. "A-Are you serious?" I asked, nervously.

"Yes, I am." He admitted.

"W-Well, I.. I don't know what to say." I shamefully admitted.

"Do you not feel the same?"

"I don't know." I admitted. "I don't know how I feel.. I don't know what I should feel..."

"I'm sorry-"
"Then is it alright for me to court you?" He suddenly asked.

"Well I don't really mind to be honest." I said, giving it some thought. "You might have to ask my brother first thought." I added, turning to him with a smile.

"I see, I will ask him then when we get back." He informed.

"Good luck with that." I joked.

~*~*~*~

"We're back-"

"WHERE HAVE YOU TWO BEEN?!" Saitama asked as he ran up to us, obviously angry. "I WAS WORRIED SICK! THE WHOLE CITY Q WAS DESTROYED THANKS TO THAT SUPER TYPHOON! EVEN CITY P AND CITY R GOT DAMAGED, well not as much damage as City Q's, BUT STILL!"

"We stayed in a cave and waited for the rain to pass." I simply informed as I made my way to my room, not in the mood to be arguing. Besides, I believe Genos would like to have a word with him in private.

I took my phone, which I left at home, and checked if I got any texts. As expected, she contacted me about what happened with City P, Q, and R. I sighed as I took a seat on my bed and called her. She quickly answered her phone upon the first few rings.

"Oh, you finally answered!" She quickly greeted. Heck she sounds so happy I would have thought she won the lottery or something.

"Yeah, miss ya too, Rin." I greeted her, earning a giggle from the girl. Rin is my best friend, and was my manager before I quit. She told me that she was willing to take me back anytime if I were to decide to go back to being an idol, and in return, I told her that she can call me anytime if she needed help.

"So, I just heard about the super typhoon." I informed her. "Mind telling me what happened exactly?"

"Yes, well, no one really expected it to be so powerful, or to cause so much damage." She said as I heard her write something. "A handful died, countless are missing, and they're all struggling in City Q. The same for City P, and R, but not as much as City Q."

"And guessing from all the texts you sent me, you want to help and have conjured up a plan." I stated.

"That's right." She answered. "And I have a feeling you already know what it is."

"And I'm agreeing to it." I informed.

"Great! I'll start working ASAP!" I heard her beam from the other side. "Talk to you later!" And with that she hung up.

A sigh escaped my lips as I brought the phone down from my ear.

Should I tell my brother about this?

.

.

.

... nah.

I should surprise him.

~*~*~*~

"So..." I started. "Did anything else happened while we were gone?" I was trying to start a conversation, since we only ate in silence.

"Nothing important, really." Saitama informed.

"Also, big bro." I called out, earning his attention once again. "Are you busy next week?"

He gave it some thought, "Nah, I don't think so."

I then turned my gaze to Genos, "What about you?"

"I believe not." He answered, after thinking about it.

"Good!" I happily beamed.

"Why do you ask?" Saitama asked, curiously.

"You'll see." I teased, earning a death glare from the bald man. A giggle escaped my lips.

"Just tell me already!" He ordered.

"But that'll ruin the surprise!" I shot back, pouting playfully. "I don't even know if you'll be happy or not to hear the news."

My phone buzzed, informing me that I got a text. I checked it from underneath the table, ignoring my brother, only to see that it was from Rin.

'We've decided that it will be on next Friday, 1-3pm. Swing by tomorrow to City Y's arena, 9am.'

I kept my phone as I look back up to my brother. "Just be sure to be free next Friday." I informed him.

"Also Genos, my apologies but I won't be able to help you during your training tomorrow." I spoke, turning to the cyborg. "Doesn't mean you're allowed to slack off, understood?"

"Understood." He answered, as if he was a soldier speaking to a general.

"Where are you off to?" Saitama asked.

"I need to help a friend of mine, I'll be busy the whole day but I'll try to come back before midnight." I answered.

"Well HE better not hurt you, whoever he is." Saitama warned.

"It's not even a he, it's a she." I corrected. "Don't worry about me too much, I can take care of myself, even without my daggers."

"You're not bringing them with you?" My brother asked, and I simply shook my head "no" in response. He stayed silent for a while before he heaved out a sigh. "Fine, but be back by 11 at least, and don't forget to be careful."

"I will." I answered, though to be honest, I wasn't sure if I would be able to be back by 11, but I will try.

"Next Friday, huh?" My brother muttered, but it was loud enough for us to hear. "I'll make sure to be free at that time."

Upon hearing his statement, my lips curved into a smile.

"Good to hear."
