Back and again and so soon! This is mainly to show I will make an effort to keep this going, it won't be a one shot since I got more following than I expected. Let's begin!

Chapter 2

"No" said Saitama, looking down on a pouting Tatsumaki.

"Why not!?" she responded with a shout.

"Cause I said so, let's go." Tatsumaki stomped her foot down causing the ground to shake violently as her figure began to glow green and she started to float.

"I said I want to go there!" shouted the esper, trying to intimidate him. However, for a brief second, she forgot he had beaten her but she remember soon after. Saitama turned his head, looking much more serious than usual, nearly looking pissed off. Tatsumaki tried to hold her ground but as he approached her she set her feet back on the ground and her power faded. He looked thoroughly pissed off as he now stood just a few inches from her. Tatsumaki closed her eyes, expecting a verbal tell off. She knew she was acting childish but she really wanted to go but he woul-

"We'd better hurry if we want to make it, the place closes at ten" said Saitama. Tatsumaki's head shot up, he was smiling at her with a sincere face.

"Y-you mean it?"

"Of course, it's not a bad place to go and you seem to want to go pretty bad." He did look slightly out of place for where she wanted to go but she didn't care, she was an S-class hero so no one would say anything. Wait, if it's open till ten and it's nearly nine forty, how would they make it across an entire city?

"I guess I'll take over this time, hang on" said Saitama. Tatsumaki had only fought him two times, each time she was easily defeated but the speed he was moving at now showed how much she didn't know about him, how much he outclassed her. An entire city was covered in only a few minutes. That was impossible for anyone she knew of, even blast.

"We made it just in time!" said Saitama, setting her down and following her inside a small building.

"Welcome to Sake and Sweets! How may I help you?" asked a clerk. The shop was small, just nearly double the size of Saitama's apartment, which wasn't big to begin with. However, its size meant nothing to the quality of the food they offered. The array of sweets and alcohol was astounding but what few knew was this was a small branch off a large restaurant. It was meant to appeal to mainly sweets and a slight bit of alcohol.

"Can I have a slice of strawberry cake and cheesecake?" asked Tatsumaki.

"We'll have it at your table shortly, for you sir?"

"A slice of cheesecake is fine" said Saitama.

"Yes sir, we will have those out shortly" said the clerk before he walked off and the two hero's took a seat on a large booth.

"Pretty empty since it's going to close soon" said Saitama, looking around and the looking back to Tatsumaki who seemed….off. She was much too quiet, the woman was very outspoken and didn't hold back on nearly anything.

"What's wrong, Tatsumaki? Are you feeling well?" asked Saitama, leaning closer to her. Tatsumaki crossed her arms and turned her head, a dust of pink now showing on her cheeks.

"Are you going to answer me?" No reply. Saitama sighed, maybe she was just mad he carried her all the way. She was stubborn like that, she liked to do stuff on her own from what he learned recenlty. He sat back down as the food arrived, letting the subject drop as they ate in silence. Once both had finished Saitama paid for the food and walked outside, waiting for Tatsumaki to return from the restroom. He heard the door shut behind him and turned to see Tatsumaki, this time she looked as if she'd been crying. Saitama immediately knelt down to her level and placed his hands on her shoulders.

"What's wrong? Did someone call you something?" He knew, thanks to Genos and Bang, that some people didn't like espers and a few were bold enough to call her names. There was a reason she rarely left HQ, she was affected by it but usually retaliated in some way.

"N-no….no one said anything. I…." Tatsumaki dropped her head and hid it from Saitama.

"Hey, what is it?" What Saitama didn't expect was her to pick her head up, tears streaming down her face and now with a frown.

"No one's been this nice to me, ever. My sister was too jealous, anyone I work with is scared of me or doesn't care to do anything. You're just so nice, I wonder why. Why are you so nice to me? Before, all I wanted to do was win against you, all I did was insult you. The first time I saw you I just insulted you! Why, only after one date, after one day, are you so nice to me!?" This was a first for Saitama, he'd never seen this side of her or really anyone for that matter.

"I….uh….It's just what I do. All your insults are harmless and usually just a physical trait I wouldn't consider an insult. That date part…..I guess…for me it was a first too. Before I trained, I was an unemployed, depressed guy that had no reason to live. You're the first person I've ever taken on a date, the first woman who's even agreed hang out with me willingly. This is totally knew to me, and in all honesty, I enjoy it too much to end it so I never asked you to leave. I didn't want to" said Saitama with a serious face. Tatsumaki was at a loss for words, she'd never heard of his life before becoming a hero, nor had she known she was the first person he's gone on a date with.

"Tatsumaki, you're looking down on yourself now." The esper's eyes widened, his words were the truth.

"You see yourself as a spider, small but in your world of spiders you reign supreme. However, that solitude power of yours keeps you isolated and you don't see things as others do. Hold on to me" said Saitama, hugging her and waiting until she held on. Slowly she wrapped her arms around his neck and he tensed his leg muscles before shooting off to the top of a large building nearby.

"From what I've seen, you should be a star. Powerful, bright, a light of hope for those under your gaze. Not all will worship you, but those who do will never waiver in their appreciation and admiration of you. I may be a distant star, not out of reach but still there for you. Things may change, but recently I've been thinking. We are different, but you know what? Different isn't always so bad" said Saitama, setting her down as he spoke. Tatsumaki listened to him as he spoke but looked at his face as he did. His eyes were focused on the night sky, looking off into space as if he could picture exactly what he was saying. Maybe…..maybe she wanted to picture that too, to be part of what he was saying. Saitama looked down when Tatsumaki moved to stand in front of him.

"I understand a little more now. It's just, a thought ran through my head at the shop. Maybe, you only went out with me on the date because I lost, maybe you just tolerate me and let me follow you around after the date. After what you just said, I'm happy I was wrong. Like I said, no one's been that nice to be before and I've never been this nice to someone before. I've kept my rough side out, it kept me safe, kept me from getting hurt in any way my powers couldn't protect me. I guess….I'm just happy….happy it was someone like you I opened up to. Haha, I doubt I'd open up to anyone else if it wasn't someone like you."

"Now what?" said Saitama in his usual bluntness and nearly ignoring the gushing feelings they had seconds ago.

Tatsumaki froze "I….I don't! I've never done this either!" She was about to freak out until she felt Saitama hug her again.

"I guess we'll start here and see how things go."

Tatsumaki stood there then hugged him back "I guess so. I need to go grab something, I'll be back at your apartment later tonight to play games."

"Alright, I'll put some Udon on the stove" said Saitama and turned to walk off but stopped when he felt Tatsumaki flare her power. He turned around and saw her floating, a green hue surrounding her once more.

"This means you can't go hitting on women now just cause you got me to agree to this." Saitama sighed, that was her alright. Bipolar suited her, but I guess it wasn't all bad.

"I know, you think I would?"

Tatsumaki huffed and turned around, embarrassed "With men you never know." With that she flew off, he assumed to grab clothes but he wasn't sure what she was doing. All he knew was he had to grab something for tomorrow. Within a few minutes of running he arrived just near a place he knew sold the wig he needed. As he walked he spaced out, letting his thoughts wander before someone in front of him turned then tried to knock him out with a hand chop to the neck.

"What's the big idea? Are you trying to mug me?" said Saitama before he delivered his own neck chop, easily knocking his attacker out before grabbing a wig from the stand just a few feet away. It took a few minutes but he got the wig he needed before returning to his apartment and seeing Genos outside.

"Are you leaving?" asked Saitama and the cyborg shook his head.

"No, I just arrived back from the doctors. King is watching the apartment" said Genos. The two walked upstairs and opened the door to see….a decent size bag next to King who was playing a game.

"Hey king…..plan on staying the night?" asked Saitama.

"Huh? Oh, no. That's not mine" answered King, returning to his game.

"Then who's-"

"Baldy, you need to clean the bathroom!" said Tatsumaki, exiting the bathroom with a plain white t-shirt and blue pajama pants, her hair back up in a pony tail.

"I cleaned it two days ago! How is it dirty?!" retorted Genos.

"Oh, I accidently slipped and toothpaste went everywhere. My bad" said Tatsumaki but as soon as she said that Genos rushed inside and shut the door.

"He'll take care of it, he's really good about keeping things clean. Now, why is your bag here and why are you dressed like you're ready to sleep here?"

Tatsumaki floated up to his eye level "I wanted to stay over, I barely know you so this is the best way to know you."

"Spending the night at someone's house you've gone on two dates with isn't the best way to do that" said King, still engrossed in his game.

"Keep it shut, idiot!" retorted Tatsumaki.

"He's right, it is a little odd" said Saitama. Tatsumaki floated back down and looked to the side.

"So….do I need to leave? We can do something tomorrow."

"I just said it's odd, I don't care as long as you don't use as much electricity as King does" said Saitama, surprising both King and Tatsumaki he didn't care. Genos heard it but he wasn't surprised, he just assumed his sensei didn't care about too much anyway since she cause much trouble.

"R-really? I can stay?"

"Sure, don't make a mess and try not to destroy the place" said Saitama, walking past her and starting a pot of boiling water.

"Lucky, I have to walk back home" said King.

"Do you want Udon too?" asked Saitama.

"Please" responded King.

"I want some fruit!" said Tatsumaki, trying to rummage through his fridge but she was held off by Saitama's leg.

"No, I'll get it ready when I make the plate. Go sit down and wait" said the bald hero. Tatsumaki considered using her powers but left it alone and sat at the table near King.

"You suck at this."

"I have the second highest score in the world.

"You're not at the top so you suck."

"Neither are you." His control snapped in half and King began to sweat, knowing that comment may have taken things to far.

"Foods done!" shouted Saitama, setting the table for four people. King let out a quiet sigh, once more Saitama helped him out. Genos appeared moments after the food was set, smelling like chemicals and toothpaste as he sat down. Saitama sat down last, Genos to his left, King to his right and Tatsumaki across from him.

"All I had was a banana and an apple" said Saitama.

"That's fine" said Tatsumaki, trying to act like somewhat nice. The three ate in relative silence, until King finished and left.

"Bye now, loser" said Tatsumaki as he left and King was smart enough to keep quiet. First was the controller, he didn't want to lose a limb to the bipolar esper.

"Master, I am going to rest. I have a meeting for some reason tomorrow. Goodnight" said Genos, pickup up his plate and King's before going to his own room.

"You can sleep on my bed, I'll take up a blanket on the floor" said Saitama before he noticed Tatsumaki's face light up bright red.

"What is it?"

"Y-you…YOU COULD JUST SHARE THE BED WITH ME!" shouted Tatsumaki. Saitama was at a loss for words, he was sure Genos heard that and chose to either ignore it or leave it alone.

"That's….something people that date do…..I think….." said the bald man.

"Are...we not?" That hit Saitama like a ton of bricks, he never thought to deeply into that.

"I…um…if…you want to." Tatsumaki mumbled something and he leaned forward to try and hear her.

"YES!" shouted the woman as she looked up, now her face inches from his own. Both froze, their faces heated up and the shot backwards.

"I-I-I-I need to go clean the dishes!" said Saitama, picking up his plate and her own before rushing off to the sink.

"I need…to….go to sleep…." Said Tatsumaki, realizing she had nothing to do but sleep at the moment so she waited. She sat at the table as Saitama cleaned the kitchen, got ready for bed and made sure everything was in order before returning to the living room.

"L-lets go to bed" said the hero with an awkward smile.

"Yes!" responded Tatsumaki to the ground, following him to his room. He opened the door and let her in before closing it and seeing her stare at the bed.

"You've gotta lay down on it" said Saitama.

"I know that, baldy!" said Tatsumaki in her usual brash tone. The B-class hero sighed before lying down and patted the mat next to him.

"Hurry up, I'm not waiting all night." Tatsumaki fidgeted before giving in and lying down next to him, her back to his chest.

"Night" said Saitama.

"Night" said Tatsumaki, trying to sleep in the odd position she was in. She was on the wrong side, but she didn't want to face him. How long could she go without sleep? Forget it, she was going to turn around and go to sleep, just not touch him when she did. However, once she turned around Saitama seemed to get comfortable when she moved to her new position. He wrapped an arm around her and pulling her flush against him, her chin resting on his shoulder.

"Baldy, get up" said the green haired woman but only got a light snore in response. The esper sighed, there was no point in bother him now, she was…..actually comfortable sleeping like this. The blanket was already warm but she felt even better in his arms, she felt safer than ever. Maybe, losing that bet was a good thing after all.

Chapter two out and I'm sure you can tell, I wrote this in one sitting, within about three hours. It's rough, I will edit it later on but this is just to show I will actually be continuing this. However, with how slow the manga goes there will be a lot of extra stuff and comedic parts so I can write more than one chapter every two months. Have a great day and don't forget to review!
