A/N: So this was a brilliant suggestion by ApexUtopia, and will mostly be King and Saitama's daily shenanigans, since they're so fun together. ^^
Updates may be a little irregular, but nevertheless, I hope you'll enjoy! :)
~Chapter 1~
"Oi, King." Saitama said, stretching both of his hands out while laying on the wooden floor, "Aren't you kinda sick of staying inside your house all day?"
The tall man sitting next to him swallowed hard, then paused his game to glance down at the bald man, his expression as unreadable as ever.
"What?" He asked, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Saitama lifted himself into a sitting position, placing one arm on his bent knee.
"I mean you should go out, get some air, y'know." He explained.
They have been playing in King's apartment for a few hours now, and come to think of it, whenever Saitama came over, they never seemed to do anything other than that. Granted, King wasn't the type to go outside much, but lately, he hasn't been going outside at all.
King blinked at his words, then turned around back to his game, continuing where he stopped.
"No thanks." He dismissed.
Saitama only stared at his friend for a few more moments in silence.
"C'mon, let's go for udon or something." He pressed, smiling.
"There's some leftover pizza in the fridge." King answered almost immediately, not breaking eye contact from his game.
The bald man let out a deep sigh.
"Okay, we're gonna do something fun today." He declared, rising to his feet and quickly reaching around the tall man sitting on the floor for the pause button, stopping the game for him.
King's eyes widened as Saitama took the controller out of his hands.
"Hey! I wasn't finished!" He protested, his expression showing hints of annoyance.
But Saitama only raised both of his hands to place them on his waist, smiling wide.
"I'm bored, you gotta have somewhere you like to go, right?" He asked, staring down at him in anticipation.
A drop of sweat quickly made its way across the sitting tall man's face as he swallowed hard, once again.
"Are you crazy?" He shot back at him, "Other than buying stuff that I need, what else reason is there for me to go outside? The streets are infested with monsters!"
Saitama crossed his arms.
"Don't be such a coward." He said, raising an eyebrow at his direction. But his expression quickly softened as he noticed the genuine terror in his eyes, "Look, I'll take care of anything that might attack us, so don't worry, Okay?"
King stayed silent for the longest time as they both stared at each other.
This conversation was going in circles and Saitama knew that, but he was suddenly hit by a brilliant idea as his eyes trailed off to the screen.
"We could stop by the game shop." He suggested.
The tall man kept quiet for a few more moments, then suddenly rose to his feet with a swift movement, his expression still unreadable but his eyes unexpectedly showing great motivation.
Saitama simply watched him in silence as he moved through the room to his closet, pulling out a large coat out of it, quickly wearing it and reaching for a nearby red cap and sunglasses as well, then stepped to the door.
"That game I wanted actually comes out today.." He muttered, glancing in his friend's direction.
A wide smile quickly spread on the bald man's face as he heard his words.
"Cool! Let's go." He said cheerfully as they both left the apartment.
As both heroes made their way through the streets, Saitama couldn't help but notice what a beautiful day it was as he glanced all around him; The temperature was just right with a light breeze, the birds singing and the air fresh from a previous rainstorm.
He breathed deep and then let it out, a pleased smile spreading on his face.
"See, isn't it nice outside?" He asked, raising his gaze to his friend walking beside him.
But his expression turned confused as he noticed King looking all around him, both of his hands clenched into fists and beads of sweat decorating his forehead.
"Hey, would you relax?" He shot up at him, grabbing his attention.
King stopped his frantic actions as he simply stared down at his friend for a few moments.
"How can I relax!" He suddenly complained, his voice shaky, "I just hope I've hidden myself well enough so that no one would recognize-"
"HEY! THAT'S KING!" A sudden voice yelled at their direction, making both heroes' attention shift to the group of excitedly screaming fans.
Even with the sunglasses on, Saitama could notice the sheer dread in his eyes.
"Oops, looks like your secret identity's out." He said, scratching his bald head.
But instead of answering, the tall man simply dashed away from the place, not even waiting for his friend as he quickly disappeared into the horizon with full speed.
"Oi! What the hell?!" Saitama called to him, following up shortly on his friend as he started running as well, leaving the confused group of fans behind with no explanation as their screams of excitement quickly changed into confused ones, then faded out to nothing behind them.
They stopped as they both finally reached a rather empty area.
King raised his hand to place it on a nearby wall for support as he tried to settle his breathing.
"I can't believe.. I let you drag me into this.." He complained, still breathing heavy and raising his arm up to wipe the sweat off his face using his sleeve.
Saitama raised an eyebrow at his direction.
"Dude, they weren't even monsters." He said.
King straightened up with a sudden swift movement, surprising the bald man.
"They're even worse!" He started, clenching his fists in frustration "All they want is to swarm me, ask for autographs and hear of amazing lies about how I've beaten all of the monsters and earned my name and rank! I can't deal with that pressure right now!"
Saitama could only stare at the heavily breathing man before him in disbelief as he processed his words.
"Is that so.. " Somehow, this may be more difficult than what he first expected when he suggested this experience to his friend. "Well, at least we're almost at the game store." He tried to cheer him up, stepping closer and patting him on the back, "You almost did it!"
King raised his hand to wipe a hint of a frustrated tear as he breathed deep.
"You're right. That game's calling me." He declared, his right hand clenching into a fist and his eyes filling once again with an impressive amount of determination. "No way in hell I'd give up on that new limited first edition 'Doki Doki Sisters 2' dating simulator!"
Saitama smiled wide.
"You got that right!" He said, stepping forward, "Now let's go buy that sisters-whatever game!"
"Shh! Not so loud, Saitama!" He raised a nervous finger to his mouth as he looked all around him, letting out a deep sigh.
Then, both of them continued in their journey to the game store.
Reaching the store and stepping inside the establishment, King quickly raised his hand to pull his hoodie over his head as he noticed the place was packed with people.
"You only look more suspicious this way, y'know?" Saitama said raising an eyebrow up at him.
But King quickly stepped aside to hide from view, pretending to browse some random games.
"Listen, Saitama," He started, shifting his gaze down to his friend, "The game's in the 'Sisters' section to the right, you see it?"
The bald man simply followed his friend's pointing finger as he noticed a large, pink section full of people.
"Uh, yeah, I see it." He answered him.
"I need you to bring one for me." King said, his eyes fixed on him and his expression more serious than ever.
Saitama's expression quickly turned displeased at his request.
"What? No way!" He protested, crossing his arms, "It's right there, just go get it!"
King frowned.
"There are too many people there!" He complained, clenching his fists, "Please, Saitama! Nobody knows you, they won't even notice your presence!"
"Uh?! That was kinda hurtful!" Saitama said, his expression turning irritated.
But King's pleading eyes were fixed at him, making him sigh deeply.
"Fine! Damn it." He said, stepping forward to the crowded area.
Earth's strongest human watched him carefully as he made his way between the people. He stepped closer as well while keeping himself as hidden as possible and attracting as little attention to himself as he could, unintentionally scaring a few young kids away.
A hint of a cheerful smile spread through his scarred face as he noticed the bald man efficiently grabbing the pink game out of the pile, then making his way back to him.
"There." Saitama said, presenting him with the product.
"Nice, Saitama!" King said, his voice excited, "That was impressive!"
The bald man simply stared at him with a confused expression.
"Uh, thanks?" He answered, rubbing the back of his neck as King quickly pulled his wallet out of his back pocket and presented him with it, making his expression turn even more confused.
"Now go pay for me, please." He said.
