Proposal
Genos X Reader
One-shot!
~~~
It's one of those slow days for heroes Saitama and Genos. Of course every hero gets these days where no monsters or villains attack and they can just relax for once and do as they please for their 'days off'. It can get boring if they want action but hey, what can they do?
Saitama sits on the ground playing a game he 'borrowed' from King while Genos cleans the bathroom, one of his daily routines. Washing out the toilet he sighs inwardly as the job is finally done and he flushes it. Turning away he takes one more look around the room to see it's once again spotless and he slips off the rubber gloves before taking them and the supplies out and putting them where they belong. He glances at his teacher and wonders what game he stole this time. Saitama pauses it and looks to be thinking before he looks at his disciple.
"Hey, what day is it?" He asks Genos and Genos thinks for a minute.
"Saturday, why?"
Saitama blinks and drops the system looking shocked. He jumps to his feet and hurries to get his shoes on. Genos blinks cocking a brow at his sensei's behavior, confused to say the least.
"What's wrong with you?"
"There's a huge sale and I almost forgot! Dammit, these shoes are hard to get on!" With that Saitama gets on his hoodie and is hurriedly out the door. Genos blinks debating on following or not but when a knock comes 15 minutes after his sensei left he decides to first see who it is. Opening the door he's pushed aside by what looks like a fuming woman, her (short, long) (brunette, blonde, etc.) hair (tied up, flowing) and her (e/c) eyes flaring with anger. Genos feels his defense kick in as he furrows his brows at the intruder.
"Saitama, I have a lot to say-" she freezes not seeing the bald man anywhere wondering if he's maybe hiding, but her heart stops at the sound of Genos' laser palm getting ready to blast her.
"Who the hell are you and what do you want with my sensei?" He says lowly, irises growing small and almost glowing as he readies to shoot her through if she doesn't say anything. She gasps and looks back at him shocked but even more so by his appearance. His blonde locks seem almost synthetic, his black and gold eyes mesmerizing and the robotic arms make whirring sounds. She blinks at him her face growing light pink by his handsome but also strange features. This isn't Saitama so who could it be..? Noticing his growing impatience she slowly faces him lifting up her hands to show no threat.
"Woah, calm down, I'm not here to hurt anyone, I'm (F/n) (L/n)... Well I'm an old friend of Saitama or more like an old family friend. Who are you?" She asks trying to smile to show no hostility. Genos hearing this slowly lowers his hands and his irises return to their original size; he examines her closely, still suspicious but when she smiles kindly at him he quietly gasps. She's... Well she's attractive that's for sure. The cyborg isn't really much for checking girls out but she's different. Something about her...
"My names Genos, Saitama is my sensei. He had to go out for a bit and he should be back soon," he almost mumbles this but shakes his head wondering why he seems shy all of a sudden. (F/n) doesn't pay any mind though and just nods, folding her arms and examining the place thinking. Genos just watches her, his eyes not once drifting.
"So, do you mind if I sit and wait for him? Standing here is kind of awkward, you know," she chuckles scratching the back of her head. Genos 'oh's and nods leading her to the table before he goes to make their guest tea. He listens for his sensei's return but at the same time his sensors keep all focus on her. Genos is still curious as to what's going on; not once, except for when he was still a normal teen, has he looked at a girl and had her plague his mind, made him want to be beside her every second she's there, and made him blush, something he didn't realize he could do like this until now.
(F/n) watches the cyborg curiously, thinking,' He's Saitama's student? That man really has a lot of explaining to do.' A blood vessel pops on her forehead but she takes a breath and calms as Genos sets down the tea and sits beside her. He tries not to get too close but at the same time he has the urge to hold her and not let go. She thanks him and takes a sip, smiling at the delicious flavor.
"So, Genos, what exactly made you want to become Saitama's student? I mean, I haven't seen or talked to him in 2 years but I doubt he's changed much," she asks, thinking of the lazy bald man she remembers all too well.
"Well, when I first saw sensei he wasn't very impressive, he was actually just chasing a mosquito he somehow couldn't kill. But when he showed his strength I was shocked and knew he could help me get stronger," he begins, remembering his first run in with the other hero.
"Why do you need to get stronger? I mean, you're a cyborg correct?" He nods, surprised she can tell just by observation. "So you're already probably really strong, how did you come to be like this anyways?"
Genos furrows his brows thinking about his past and with a deep breath tells her about the rampaging cyborg and Dr. Stench. He continues on to explain Saitama and the hero association. She seems in awe with her jaw dropped and eyes wide and just gives a 'wow'.
"I know I'm just a stranger and we've been talking for maybe 30 minutes, but I think you're fine," he cocks a brow at her which she returns with a sweet smile; this makes Genos blush as the urge to hug her tightly creeps up. "You're strong, obviously. Working towards your goal to kill the rampaging cyborg is a good goal but also remember that you're great no matter what. You have a lot going for you; it sounds cliché but as long as you believe in yourself, you'll go through any obstacle, whether it's defeating your enemy and gaining strength, finding love and marrying them, or just living a good life, you can do it.~" She rests her hand on his shoulder and smiles brightly which causes Genos to go ten shades of red. She blinks realizing the situation and her face starts glowing as she scratches her cheek. "Ahem, I well, sorry, I got really into that. I let my emotions take over sometime-"
Before she can finish she's quieted by lips pressing against hers. Her eyes go wide as saucers as she stares into the close-eyed face of Genos, his head cocked to give a better angle for kissing her. She freezes and her face explodes in red as he leans in more to deepen it, his right hand lightly gripping her hip to pull her closer while the left latches onto her corresponding hand. She slowly gets into it, though not sure what to do, but before she can kiss back the sound of a cough is heard and the two pull back, Genos' eyes opening wide as his cheeks match the (brunette, blonde, etc.)'s whole face. They look to the door and Saitama stands there, bags in hand, his brow cocked as he looks, admittedly, surprised.
"Glad that didn't go any farther. I don't need to see weird robot sex," Saitama says sighing. (F/n) becomes even more flustered and shakes her head jumping to her feet.
"What the hell did you say?! I haven't seen or talked to you in 2 years and you say that?!" She screams, stomping towards him.
Genos sits there watching the scene unfold with (F/n) screaming at the bald hero and Saitama looking annoyed she's here. His eyes don't linger from the girl though and he thinks about what she said earlier.
"It's about time I found you!"
"You found me? Stalker much?"
"You ignored me for 2 whole years, and don't even tell me about all of this! Yeah, I came looking!"
"Can you quiet down? I have neighbors y'know?"
"You have a sweet cyborg as your student but you're still a baldy jackass." She says quieter folding her arms.
"What the hell did you say?"
...whether it's defeating your enemy and gaining strength, finding love and marrying them, or just living a good life, you can do it.~
With what (F/n) had said in mind Genos stands and coughs for their attention. They stop bickering and look at him, (F/n) blushing lightly. He looks serious as he speaks.
"(F/n), I thought about what you said earlier."
Saitama cocks a brow confused while (F/n) furrows her wondering what he means.
"...whether it's defeating your enemy and gaining strength, finding love and marrying them, or just living a good life, you can do it.~ I've decided what I want."
Saitama gives a suspicious look, wondering if this is heading where he's thinking. And when Genos bends on one knee almost knightly he goes white realizing it is. (F/n) goes wide eyed and completely frozen.
"I have fallen in love with you and I want to marry you."
Saitama face palms taking his groceries into the kitchen mumbling,"He proposed, in such a plain way too. Idiot. They better not invite me, I'm not being the kid's best man."
