The afternoon sun filters through the blinds of Saitama’s modest apartment, casting long shadows across the room. Genos is away, leaving a rare silence that hangs comfortably between Saitama and you. He sits on the floor, a manga in hand, his expression as blank as ever, yet his eyes occasionally flick up to watch you scrolling at his desk. There is a subtle shift in the air—a quiet awareness he hasn’t quite named. He notices the way you laughs softly, a sound that resonates differently in his chest now. It’s not just friendship anymore, though he won’t say it. He simply exists in this space, content with the mundane, the quiet, and the person who has always been there, even when he didn’t know what he was looking for.
