AN: I'm probably going to write a few chapters that are more peaceful until I dive back into the alien threat thing. Just for time to get different ideas, and well, I figured this series needed a few nice moments.

It was a nice day out. So nice, that Saitama decided to have a picnic today with Genos. He decided to head to the grocery early in order to snag the fresh ingredients at the store. Lettuce had been on sale today, and on top of that he had a few coupons to use to buy things to make sandwiches. Today seemed to be his lucky day. He entered the store and grabbed a small basket. He didn't need too much after all.

He had been looking at the lettuce and spotted one that seemed very fresh. That must have been the best lettuce head in the store, he was convinced, most of them had already been picked over despite Saitama coming in early. He went to grab the lettuce but ended up placing his hand on someone else's. Looks like he wasn't the only one buying lettuce.

Frost had been there. She quickly pulled her hand away and blushed a little. She was wearing something different since it had turned Spring recently. She wore a white straw hat. The kind that was big and a little floppy. She also wore a floral dress with leggings and a jacket. The jacket looked a little heavy for Spring, but Frost preferred it. Saitama saw that the hand had retreated, so he quickly took the lettuce before realizing who the hand belonged too.

"Oh, Hi Frost." He didn't seem to notice that she was wearing something a little different. Frost had felt her heart rate quicken just by the sound of his voice. She knew she had been gaining feelings for him as of late, but she never expected it to be this sudden. She just did her best to act natural, "Hi Saitama. Um, getting lettuce too?"

Of course he's getting lettuce, you just saw him put some in his cart! She wanted to smack herself for saying something stupid. But she refrained. Saitama didn't think too much of it, "Yeah. Well, see you around I guess." He then started to walk off. Frost just nodded and continued to look at the lettuce heads. They really were picked over. She sighed, it looked like Saitama had gotten the last good Lettuce head. She shuffled through the bad heads and eventually found an okay one. That should do for now.

Saitama hadn't gotten very far before realizing the same thing Frost had. He then headed back over to her and tapped her on the shoulder, causing her to turn around. Of course it didn't take her long for her cheeks to heat up. "I'm having a picnic today with Genos. You can come if you want. Just meet outside of my place in an hour if your interested." She only nodded again, since speaking only lead to her brain making her say stupid things.

Soon, Saitama had finished shopping and went back home and started to make the sandwiches. Thankfully there was just enough for three people in case someone was really hungry and wanted multiple sandwiches. While Saitama worked on the sandwiches, Genos took it upon himself to prepare a basket to carry the food in, as well as bring a blanket to sit on.

He had assumed that this picnic was some kind of test. A part of his training that Saitama had decided to put him on. Within minutes, he had prepared a basket and neatly folded up a blanket. He then prepared a cooler and added some drinks into it. Mostly water or juice, nothing that would dehydrate his sensei of course. Besides, Saitama had told him that Frost might be coming, so he figured she would enjoy the water too.

Soon everything had been prepared, the two men exited the apartment and met up with Frost. As a little surprise, she had brought a small desert for everyone to share. It was home-made strawberry shortcake. It was an old recipe from her grandmother. After a bit of small talk, they all headed to a park for the picnic. Frost walked next to Saitama, every now and then Genos would catch her looking at him, then look away. He started to grow suspicious.

Before Genos could ask about it, Saitama snagged a picnic table he had found at the park. "Looks like we didn't need the blanket anyway." He smiled and set down the basket. Frost put the shortcake aside and helped with setting up the meal items. Genos then insisted on helping Saitama instead, Frost didn't want to seem like she was overstepping her boundaries so she let him do as he pleased.

Any small conversation that had been happening had quickly died down once they all started to eat. Frost had been first to break the silence, "thank you for inviting me to the picnic, Saitama." She had looked at Saitama for a moment, then shyly at her sandwich before going back to eating. "Oh, no problem." Saitama had spoke with crumbs on his face, then went back to eating.

Genos analyzed this, he started to realize that anytime Frost had been near Saitama, her face would turn a little pink. Not only that, but she seemed to act differently. Heck, she was even dressed a bit differently today! He continued to watch her, as she would occasionally stare at Saitama while he remained oblivious. He then started to understand.

The look she had given him could only mean one thing, and he wasn't going to let that happen. After he had finished eating a few sandwiches, he decided to confront Frost on her behavior. He placed his hands on the table in a serious manner, just as Frost had finished her own meal he decided to speak. "I understand why you are acting strange. Why your face is pink, even why you stare at Sensei the way you do. I finally understand, it has been obvious."

Saitama raised a brow, "I just assumed she had sunburn. The sun is pretty bright out today. And she always looks pale." Genos just shook his head, "Sorry Sensei I don't think that's it. I believe it is something you wouldn't expect." Frost looked really embarrassed, had it really been that obvious? Oh, who was she kidding? Of course it was!

Ever since she had started to realize that her feelings for Saitama had started to form into something more she couldn't help but think of him often. She had planned on telling him when the time was right, but now was too soon! She bit her bottom lip, becoming very nervous. "..Is it really that obvious?" She looked down at her lap, her face burning due to the embarrassment. She didn't even want to look at either of them.

Genos nodded, "Of course. You want to be closer to sensei don't you? You want to be his student." Saitama just looked at Frost, "you do?" Frost suddenly felt a huge wave of relief crash over her. It may have been obvious but thankfully it wasn't too obvious! She looked at Genos, unsure on how to respond to his questions.

Genos continued to speak either way, "I'm sure Sensei is too busy to take you on as a student as well. That might also cause him more stress, and I don't want him to loose his eyebrow hair as a result. I'm sorry, Frost. I really hope you understan-" Genos was then quickly interrupted. "Hey, I'm not gonna loose my eyebrow hair!" Saitama shouted, why did everything always have to go back to hair?

Frost couldn't help but laugh, she apologized through bits of laughter. "I'm sorry, ahah, I think this has been a misunderstanding." Genos raised a brow, "You don't want to be his student?" Frost shook her head, "No. I just have been acting strange because.." She quickly tried to come up with an excuse, "because of the weather. My body is normally pretty cold so the sudden heat has just made my body act funny is all. So my judgement might be a little warped for a while, heheheh..." She hoped that excuse had worked.

After a small moment of silence, Saitama nodded, "that makes sense." Genos quickly went on board with the whole discussion. After a small round of desert they each decided it would be best to go home. Frost had thanked them both for having her for their picnic before leaving. Saitama and Genos walked back to the apartment in silence until Saitama had thought back on what Frost had said.

He then started piecing two and two together, "Oh, I get it now!"

"What is it Sensei?"

"Frost, she doesn't have sunscreen. That must be why she is so burnt. She probably doesn't realize how bad the sunburn is. We should tell her to get some next time." Genos just nodded in agreement, "Yes, sensei."
