Hey there! So, I hope I got this chapter out on an okay time aha. I'll get better at updating, maybe. In here we start getting into unknown past territory so things may start to get a little confusing. Reviews are always a big help! Hope you enjoy~!
"You suck, you know that?"
Saitama turned around and was greeted with a foot that swung threateningly close to his face.
"Hello to you too Sonic" The bald man said calmly, making eye contact with the clearly annoyed male.
"Why'd you send Genos to my dance class!" Sonic yelled, but questioned at the same time. There was anger in his tone.
"How'd you know it was me?"
"Ack-" Sonic stepped back a little, adverting the gaze of the bald man.
"Sonic." Saitama stepped forward to replace the space that Sonic had put between them," Have you been following us all day?"
"N-No!" Sonic denied, face becoming a little red from embarrassment and frustration. Saitama raised him eyebrow and stared down Sonic, not buying his crystal clear lie. The raven haired male stared back before sighing and proceeding to cross his arms. "So what if I did? Answer my question!" Saitama smirked, mimicking the ninja's action.
"Why should I?" The bald male was getting a kick out of seeing his friend like this. Yeah, he said friend. The truth was, the two never really hated each other at all. They were pretty good friends, though Sonic did annoy his just a little. Saitama hasn't been able to talk to the ninja in such a long time since their little plan went into action. Well, Sonic's anyway. It's a long story-
"Because I asked!" Sonic paused for a few seconds," Please..." Sonic said looking down. Saitama sighed, and put an arm around the slim male and started pushing the male along.
"fine, so I did. But what does it matter? You obviously can't keep this up for long Sonic. I can see that this is killing you Sonic." The man said. Sonic tensed up slightly before relaxing a bit. It really has been so long.
"But... He likes you now, and it's better for him anyway. I'm just fine, really." The black haired male said, tone dying off at the end. This whole act was dumb and unnecessary in the eyes of the bald male, but it was what his friend wanted and he couldn't refuse the look that Sonic gave him. Now, though, he wished he hadn't gone through with the man's wishes. No matter what Sonic says, Saitama knows that he isn't fine!
"Why are you so stubborn..." Saitama said quietly to himself, wincing in pain afterwards as he felt a sharp pain on his foot.
"I'm not stubborn, it's what's right," Sonic said, retracting his foot from the others. After both men standing there in silence for a minute or so, Sonic broke the silence when he said," Well... It was great talking to you again, see you on Monday I guess..."
"You too man, but remember what I said," Saitama said. Sonic nodded slightly before running off. "Man that guy can run," He said to himself as he turned around to continue walking home.
Once at home, Saitama plopped himself on his couch to relax. He didn't feel like doing his homework, the events of the day not helping with his motivation one bit. Sonic was such a troublesome friend. Even if he believed that him and Genos weren't ever going to happen, that doesn't mean that he can dismiss his own feelings for the other. Saitama rubbed his head. "This is such a mess." He said, laying his head down. The man closed his eyes as he remembered the previous events of the day.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" Sonic asked, slowly walking over.
"What? Can't I talk to a friend? It's been a while." Saitama said, sitting down on the swing set that was conveniently behind him. "Come on, sit. We need to have a little talk." Sonic looked at Saitama with a curious look before sitting down on the swing next to the bald male. Saitama looked at Sonic for a few seconds before finally saying," Look man... do you really think this is such a good idea? I'm not sure how much I can take of this." Sonic blinked.
"Wh... what do you mean? It's obvious that things are better the way they are now, Saitama." Sonic said, his voice a little shaky. This subject was a touchy one for the black haired male.
"That's what you think, but didn't he tell you his feelings for you before this all happened? Doesn't that mean anything to you? It's not your fault that the accident happened to him. I feel like we should explain all of this to him, that way you two can-"
"But even if I wanted that, I don't deserve it after what I did to him... and you know how he feels now..." Sonic interrupted the other. His voice was slightly breaking.
"Wh-wh" Came a different voice from behind the two. It was Genos!
Saitama opened his eyes, and sighed. "Man it's been a day." He said, getting up and walking to go to his room and get some sleep. Saitama made a promise to himself that he would stop this nonsense. Though... Telling Genos the truth wasn't going to be that easy...
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Saitama's head and he began to sort out the plan that would bring all of this nonsense to an end once and for all. Tomorrow is Sunday, so this would allow for Saitama to meet up with Genos and persuade the metal man to start liking Sonic again. The only problem would be... Sonic. Saitama furrowed his brows and then just threw himself on his bed after turning out the lights.
"Aaaah! This is too much thinking, I'll come up with a way to deal with that childish boy later." He said to himself as he started to drift off to sleep. Though, him and Sonic are the same age. Hmn. Funny.
Somewhere far away, or maybe close who knows, in Sonic's apartment, laid the said ninja. He sneezed and looked around before sighing and sat on the couch.
"How could it possibly not have been my fault... I was with him when the truck hit him..." Sonic said to himself as he started to tear up a little. The male curled up and laid himself down on a pillow, crying himself to sleep.
