Being Human (One Punch Man x OC)

Chapter 2: Being a Hero

A week had gone by since that unusual encounter with the mysterious brunette, Saya Furukawa. That's not to say that Saitama had forgotten about her, the encounter was too weird to him. Not to mention, he still had the phone she gave him. However, no matter how many trips he'd made to the Supermarket, he has not seen a trace of her.

It was a nice day in City Z, our two heroes were taking a walk, being that they were bored staying home.

Saitama and Genos were walking down the parkway, the place filled with bike riders, kids and roller-bladers.

"Ugh, I'm so bored!" Saitama sighed loudly.

Genos replied, "Strangely enough, there had not been many monster sightings or activity in the last week."

"Well, still. I may not be Class C anymore, but a little action right now wouldn't hurt, you know?" Saitama said.

They wound up walking in silence. Genos realized that it was a little too quiet on Saitama's side, even for him. Genos glanced over and noticed his Bald master was staring at the phone in his hand.

When Saitama had gotten back home, Genos had already retired for the night, but he asked about it the next morning. Come to think of it, Genos had noticed that when things got too mundane for Saitama's liking, and patience, he'd stare at the phone for a good while.

Genos raised a brow. He had to ask, "Master, why are you staring at that cellular device?"
"Huh?" Saitama was brought back to reality and stuffed the phone in his pocket, "No reason. Just...I can't stop thinking about how nice it was to get this phone, free of charge, that's all."

Genos narrowed his eyes a bit, but inquired, "You had told me that, that woman's number had been placed in your contact information. Have you ever decided to call her?"

Saitama and Genos stopped walking and faced one another. Saitama cupped his chin, looking up in thought, "No, not really. I haven't seen her at the Supermarket, lately, either. I figured that, if she wants to hang out, she'd give a call. I don't see the point in bothering her."

"But, Master, she might be expecting you to call, first," Genos told him.

Moving his hand away from his chin, Saitama gave Genos a questionable look, "What makes you think that?"

"Given today's society, women in the vast majority, if associated with a male companion, expect them to call first, which would be confirmation to them to let them know that they are important to you," Genos explained.

Saitama flinched at this assumption, "Wait--Are you saying that she's infatuated with me?! Genos, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!"

"If that may be, then, why did she give you a cellular device, as well as her contact information?" Genos asked nonchalantly.

Saitama was getting annoyed, as well as flustered, "She did that so there wouldn't be any mix-ups between us, like last time with the groceries!"

"You are speaking as though you will be seeing her again in the near future, Master," Genos remarked, "Thus, proving my theory."

"That's not the point I'm trying to make!!" Saitama ran his hands over his head in frustration. Evidently giving up on winning this conversation, he just slumped his shoulders and groaned, "Anyway, why bother calling? If I haven't seen her around, that probably means that she doesn't want to be bothered. Let's just go home."

"Yes, Master," he and Saitama turned to presume walking, but as soon as they did, "UGH!!"

Something had collided into Genos' chest, knocking him and this person onto the ground. Saitama was surprised by this, "Eh, Genos?" he then stopped when he saw the familiar black hair.
