Oh me oh my, What's this? I'm not dead? Haha- Yup. So sorry about the delay for this chapter- I've just suffering of a major illness. WRITERS BLOCK gasp But yeah, this chapter may not be that well written compared to the two before it, but ey, I'm workin on it ahaha- And I've also got less time on my hands to do this sort of thing, so that'll also play to when I get the next chapter out. If I don't get writers block for that too- but that's enought of me rambling. I hope you enjoy~!
"Wh-Wh-" Genos was stuck on what to say as both the black haired student and the bald student turned in surprise to see who was there.
Waking up, The blonde cyborg had thought it would have been a fantastic idea to go to the park since he had always felt at peace when he saw all the children going about. He had planned to get some thinking time in the comfort of the cool fall day, but no.
The park was relevantly empty when Genos had first arrived, seeing that there was only some kids on the swings, just swinging. The cyborg sighed, taking his first steps on the playground soil as the breeze picked up a little. This caused the male to shiver slightly, but it was still a nice day out. It was a Saturday morning, so that's why he's able to walk around like so. Genos enjoyed the feeling of peace he was feeling, and continued walking around the park. Taking a closer look at the kids on the swing set, they actually appeared to be his age. Taking an even closer look, something seemed familiar about the two.
Then he noticed it.
"But even if I wanted that, I don't deserve it after what I did to him... and you know how he feels now..." Said one of the two on the swing, Genos immediately recognizing the voice.
"Wh-Wh-" Genos was stuck on what to say as both the black haired student and the bald student turned in surprise to see who was there.
"Oh. Hey, Genos. What brings you here?" Saitama said in his usual carefree tone. Sonic, on the other hand, was speechless.
"Um... Hey, senpai..." Genos said, his voice full of confusion. His gaze averted between the two as he wondered why was his senpai with Sonic. They disliked each other, if Genos remembered correctly, or well at least Sonic disliked him. As the metal man looked at Sonic, the ninja immediately adverted his gaze to the ground.
"So what brings you to the park?" Saitama asked him. Genos had to blink a couple of times before he could comprehend the question he was asked, still very confused.
"Well... it was a nice day and there were a few things I wanted to get off my mind." Genos finally replied. Saitama did a simple nod before beckoning the robot boy to come closer.
"That's nice, would you like to hang out with us then?" Saitama offered. Genos would have immediately said yes, had Sonic not been there, and as if magically reading Genos's mind, Sonic got off the swing he was sitting on.
"Well if you two are going to hang out, then I suppose you wouldn't need me here," and then proceeded to walk off. Far different from his usual out bursts where he'd complain that they were ignoring him or something close to that. Genos looked at Sonic leave, then to his senpai. Saitama did something that neither party were expecting.
"No, you can stay, Panic," he said as he held the ravens wrist, preventing the ninja from leaving. Sonic flinched slightly, as Genos saw, even though Saitama barely even put force on him. What happened next shocked the robot speechless, not saying he wasn't already, but still.
"Fine. Whatever..." Sonic said quietly as he just leaned against the metal bars that held the swings up, seeing as there were only two swings. This only added to the swirl of mysteries that Genos was currently trying to solve about Sonic, seeing as the ninja would normally snap at his senpai and correct his name.
There was a moment of silence before Saitama's voice cut through it.
"So, wonderful weather, am I right?" He said awkwardly.
"It is," Genos said, as to not leave Saitama hanging. Sonic, however, didn't say anything. Saitama looked back and forth from the two, trying to break the ice in the current atmosphere. After a few seconds, that felt like a few minutes, passed by, Saitama stood up to speak again.
"You know what, Let's go somewhere because this is just awkward," He bluntly stated. The other two knew the bald man's statement wasn't wrong either, so the two looked at each other and then back at Saitama.
"Well..." The ninja started in an oddly quiet voice that no one in the trio, including himself, expected. When Sonic felt both pairs of eyes on him, he suddenly snapped and said," You know what, never mind!" and before the other two could react, Sonic quickly ran off.
"Sonic wai- And he's gone..." Saitama said, trailing off at the end. Letting out a sigh, the older male turned back to his metal kohai. "Well, I guess it's just you and me buddy."
A few hours passed by as the two high school males walked around Z City. They now reside in a small cafe, sitting at one of the window seats, waiting for their order.
"Hey, Senpai?" Comes the sudden voice of Genos. Saitama's attention turned from the outside world to the mechanical teen in front of him.
"Yes, Genos?"
"I've been meaning to ask, but why did you send me to dance class for my free period? And please don' t say you have no idea what I'm talking about." Genos asked in a serious tone. Saitama's expression remained neutral, though it took him about a minute before answering.
"I thought that maybe you'd see something you'd like. Dance is very elegant after all." Saitama paused before adding," You also seem to have a lot on your mind lately." Genos blinked, processing that information. Had he been that transparent?
"Oh... Well, thank you then, Senpai" Genos said half heartedly. He meant it, but he felt like there was something more.
The two didn't talk much after that. Their food came, and they both took the pleasure in savoring it before it was gone. Then they both made their way home, splitting at the same park that they were at earlier with Sonic.
As Saitama was calmly making his way home, he heard a voice from behind him.
"You suck, you know that"
