A tiny cute thing that I just came up with on the fly.


It was a calm, quiet day between Saitama and Genos. The pair had spent basically the whole time doing nothing than puttering around the apartment, occasionaly brushing against each other and kissing. It was especially silent when they sat at the table together, the cyborg reading a novel and the bald man mindlessly staring at the television.

Well, not quite mindlessly. He was definitely thinking of something- something quite important, in fact.

He knew he loved Genos with all of himself, which he didn't think was possible- but here they were, living in domestic bliss with their hero salaries in their bachelor's apartment. Everything about the other man (and Genos was a man now, at 21) made Saitama feel at home, almost weak. He was brilliant and handsome and kind and strong and emotional and... perfect, really. Looking at him always sent a shiver up his spine, and kissing his too real mouth made him see stars the way no monster could.

Sighing, the Caped Baldy spoke for the first time in quite a few hours.

"Hey, Genos."

Boy, was he nervous. That was new.

"Yes?" The blond put a bookmark in his novel and set it down, his full attention on his teacher-turned-lover. Though he was two years older than when they first met, he still looked so young. Meanwhile, at 27, Saitama was looking older by the day, probably- it was the lack of hair, for sure.

"I... I wanna tell you something, if that's okay."

"Of course it's okay, Saitama," Genos replied, nodding easily. "You can tell me anything. You know that."

Sure. You make it sound so damn easy, because you talk all the time. Saitama gulped, nodding back.

"So, it's like this... I'm crazy about you. I love you, Genos, with- god, with all of me. I'm not sure how or when it started, just that it did and we've been this way for like, a year and a half now. If you left someday, I'd be... I'd be really hurt. I don't think things would be near the same without you. Seeing you every day, waking up with you in my arms and falling asleep with a kiss goodnight from you- it's just the best. So, I..."

Shifting his weight a bit, he pulled a small black velvet box out of his back pocket and set it on the tabletop, opening it to reveal a purple faux silk pillow and a golden band sitting tightly inside.

"I wanna spend the rest of my crazy days with you. Marry me?"

Immediately upon seeing the ring, Genos began to cry. It was beautiful, and a perfect sign of their love. Saitama wanted to marry him...! He could barely choke the words out.

"Y-yes... yes, Saitama. I will. I'm so happy..."

Laughing, he crawled over to his partner and hugged him tightly, who laughed as well, rocking the cyborg in place. Pulling away briefly, he took the ring out of the box and slipped it on. "You should get Kuseno to screw this on... it'll fall off otherwise."

"Good idea." Genos sighed, wiping tears from his eyes as he stared down at the band around his finger. He was engaged to the man he loved... and he couldn't be happier.
