Sidgeno 57:"You seem more sensitive than usual." If you please!

smut prompts here :)

"Please," Sid pants, squirming. "Please, Geno, I can't."

Zhenya presses his palm more firmly to the small of Sid's back, digging his nails into sweaty skin to hold him in place. His other hand is three fingers deep in Sid's hole, pressing unrelentingly against his prostate. "You can," he soothes, leaning down to smear a kiss against Sid's shoulder.

"Please," Sid begs, the nasal whine under his voice making him sound just as young as he is. Zhenya lets the guilt of that flash hot over him, squeezing his own thighs together as his cock throbs. He's leaking into his underwear, but he can't get hard twice in one night anymore, and if he wants Sid to cry while Zhenya's fucking him, he's going to have to get Sid off before he gets it in.

"So sensitive today," he says, twisting his fingers and making Sid cry out. "Always you like, but it's more today."

Sid doesn't say anything, and when Zhenya tears his eyes away from the sight of his fingers disappearing into Sid's body, he catches Sid biting his lip. "Sidney," he chides, "what you do?"

Sid's face was already red, but his cheeks flush darker. "I—" he starts, breaking off with a gasp when Zhenya rubs his prostate hard. "Oh—"

"Tell me," Zhenya says, watching a tear trace down Sid's face. "You do something last night?" They'd won last night and coach had given them today off, so the kids had all gone out, but Zhenya and the vets had begged off—it's early in the season, but sleep is always at a premium, and Zhenya would rather fall asleep in his own bed and wake up clear-headed the next day.

Sid had been curled up next to him when he awoke, but that wasn't much of a surprise—Sid has a key, and it's far from the first time he's snuck into Zhenya's house after a night out. Zhenya sleeps like the dead, and Sid is considerate, so he never wakes up.

"I—" Sid breathes harshly, and Zhenya reluctantly lets up a little. "I left early, and when I got back here you were already asleep, and I thought, you know, maybe when we woke up we could..." He trails off for a minute, rubbing down against the mattress. "I went and showered in the guest room, and I just meant to get myself ready for you, for first thing this morning, but..."

Zhenya sucks in his breath, picturing it: Sid, bright-eyed and flushed off the beers he’s too young to buy still, bracing himself against the tile in the guest suite shower, fingering himself open and getting so into it that he made himself sore. Part of Zhenya wishes he were a lighter sleeper, and the sound of the water down the hall would have woken him up. He would have slipped into the bathroom and caught Sid getting himself off, and...

"You think about me?" is what he says, pressing his thumb to Sid's rim, teasing along the edge. Sid tenses up, but he spreads his legs. "You use my shower and do yourself so hard you're sore now, and still it's not enough, you need more?"

"Yes," Sid gasps, one arm flailing back to grab Zhenya's thigh. "Geno, please, I need it."

Zhenya pulls his fingers free and lines his dick up with Sid's sore, puffy hole. He's pretty sure he can make Sid cry even if he hasn't already come.

Robotsss

remember this post

well i drew more stuff for the au and completely forgot about it- (;-_-)

the CQ brothers :D they are all (or at least inhabiting) rouge Scrapper bots.

Geno used to be an entirely red Scrapper bot. He was on a team with Fresh (who was disguised at the time) with Cq being the sort of handler/trainer person for the bots. One day on a mission Geno gets kind of wrecked. Like REALLY damaged (his core got damaged) and the people in charge tried to transfer Geno's AI to a newer model body. It can be hard to train a scrapper bot ai so it's best to try and save pre existing ones. things are thought to have gone well... But Geno was in fact still in his old body and the people just ended making an anomaly consciousness in the new body. An Error.

Error acted sort of Like Geno at first. But if a person knew Geno before hand they could definitely tell something was off. Error would also randomly glitch and reboot. It got to be such a problem that management was just going to Scrap him. Of course Error did not like that... So he ended up destroying the entire facility and half a city block.

after that fiasco Error went to try and find Geno. Error kind of didn't really now what to do with himself so he thought that maybe he could find the consciousness he glitched off of he might have a better idea. tbh he was also bored.

Error Did end up finding Geno and someone he may or may not have terrified into fixing him (at least as much as possible) So Error and Geno start hiding out in an abandoned warehouse and just sort of doing whatever catches their interest. and also Fresh shows up.

Fresh is a Virus. he used to be a sort of mascot for some kids brand that eventually shut down but his Ai was never properly disposed of so Fresh has just been robot body hopping ever since. He decided to infect a scrapper bot in the first place mostly because he was curious but also because being higher quality Fresh could inhabit the body longer without its code being completely scrambled and unusable.

Fresh had still been with the scrapper bot agency place when Error went rouge. He thought that he would probably have the best chance of finding Error if he had access to the scrappers tracking database. Fresh was mostly curious about Error.

After finding them Fresh basically scrambled Error's and also surprisingly Genos still active signal making them untraceable (the perks of being a virus i suppose). He leaves and finds the warehouse Geno and Error where hiding out in. Geno was able to convince Error not to destroy Fresh (barely) all three have been a sort of trio ever since and are wanted on Three different planets :D (they where able to hijack a ship) and Currently have a remote hanger/base. Geno is currently trying to Find Cq who disappeared after he got damaged.

Distant Adoration

Geno and Aftertale belong to CrayonQueen Reaper belongs to Renrink

Reaper had never been more terrified than the day he’d returned to find the Save Screen empty.

One day, he’d shown up and Geno had just been gone. He hated to leave his love alone for so long, but he had a job to do, a balance to maintain. Oh, how he hated that stupid balance, getting in the way of his personal life, forcing him to leave everything he cared about behind, just to provide a service that no one wanted. Death was a friend to none, after all.

But that day... That day was forever preserved in Reaper’s memory. The terror of finding an empty void, wondering where Geno could have disappeared to, frantically searching, but already knowing he wouldn’t find anything. After all, in this blank expanse, where could the other hide?

It took him far too long to think about checking Geno’s AU. The living world, where Geno had resided before that fateful encounter with the human.

And when he had... when he’d found his love...

He should have been happy. Instead it felt more bittersweet.

The other had somehow managed to escape his cruel fate. He was healed, living on the surface with his friends and family. It was everything he’d ever hoped for.

And while Reaper was happy for him - really, he was - his mind was instantly plagued with darker thoughts.

After all this time, Reaper still wasn’t sure why Geno was immune to the death touch. Maybe it was his strange situation, stuck between life and death. Maybe it’d been because of the void. Or maybe there was just a glitch somewhere in his code that made him immune to Reaper’s magic. But whatever the case, there was now a chance that the death touch would work as intended. That if they made physical contact, Geno would die.

And, well, Reaper wasn’t willing to risk it. Not for Geno. Not when the other had finally reached his happy ending. The thought of his love dusting before his eyes... Reaper couldn’t bear to escort his love to the afterlife...

So what would it accomplish, to visit the other? Just so he could explain this new situation and end there relationship? That would only cause unnecessary pain. This was a better way to end it. Step back and let him go. For good. Let Geno think that there interactions had all been a dream of the void, and let him live his life in peace.

It didn’t matter that Reaper’s soul ached painfully the longer they were apart. It didn’t matter that he longed to see that happy smile directed at him instead of Papyrus, or Undyne, or any of them. It didn’t matter that he hated himself more and more with each passing day.

Why did he have to do this? Why couldn’t he just control his magic enough that he could actually be around his favorite person without constantly threatening harm in every interaction? Why couldn’t he turn these abilities off, just as every other monster was able to? He’d be willing to sacrifice his powers, his title, all of it. He’d give it all up if it would bring him back to Geno.

This wasn’t fair. But what was, when it came to being a god?

And alas, his powers were nontransfundable. So here he was, hiding in the Save Screen. Using those portals that Geno had hated so much to look after his love from afar. Reaper wasn’t sure if this was the antidote or the poison, to have his love so close yet unable to interact with him.

He just needed to know that Geno was happy, that he was alright.

It didn’t matter that Reaper was breaking inside, that a piece of him died every time he had to tear himself away to fulfill the bare minimum of his duties. The balance could tip and the multiverse could crumble, so long as Reaper was able to be with Geno again.

But he wouldn’t waste his energy hoping. Reaper knew better than to wish for the impossible. And he would rather break alone like this than let Geno be miserable as well. Reaper would settle into this new normal, wear a vacant smile and pretend he wasn’t miserable.

At least Geno was happy.

The mental facility AU is an AU where, you guessed it, everyone is in a mental hospital due to their “vibrant” personalities (ie. mental disorders).

Hero- Severe depression (Chronic depression)

Was placed in the “hospice care” area of the facility.

He had already had underlying symptoms of his condition for a while before the accident, but after his only flicker of hope disappeared, he fell so deep into his sadness that by the time his parents realized something was very, very wrong, he was close enough to death to kiss Mari on the lips.

He resides in bed for the time being, sometimes awake and sometimes asleep, but never up and around. Nothing the doctors pump into his system does anything to him.

Sunny- Schizophrenic symptoms / hallucinations (Schizophrenia)

Was placed in the “major risk” area of the facility.

After killing his sister and being caught by his parents after taking her to bed, he pleaded insanity in court and was sent to the hospital to “get better”. His father doesn’t come by to visit anymore. He’s convinced that Mari isn’t dead, and is still sleeping in her bed, waiting for him to come home. She even visits him sometimes, but when she does, she wears this really scary costume that makes her look like a ghost. She doesn’t listen when he tells her it isn’t Halloween anymore.

He resides in his room most of the time, drawing his friends and his special world over and over again. When group therapy sessions happen, he’s the one staring off into space as everyone else talks. Everyone else thinks he’s weird, at least, everyone but his friends.

Kel- Bipolar disorder (BPD)

Was placed in the “high risk” area of the facility.

Kel was someone who couldn’t control himself very well. He smiled when everyone cried and cried when everything was fine. He felt nothing and everything at the same time, and the only thing that changed was which emotion was stronger. It came to a boiling point when Mari died. At last, his emotions exploded and so did his fireworks, setting the entire park on fire. He smiled as everyone screamed and laughed as his dog Hector and everything else left behind burned to a crisp in the flames. In court, he was determined as mentally unstable and sent to the hospital for psychiatric treatment. Nobody visited him.

He resides in the hospital lobby most of the time, greeting newcomers and waving goodbye to the old comers leaving the place. He helps in any way that he can around the place, and everyone likes him, even if it’s just a little, though he can’t be trusted with any chores like serving food. When he told people the reason why he was there, they gapped their mouths in disbelief. It made him laugh.

Aubrey- Anger management (Anger issues)

Was placed in the “minor risk” area of the facility.

Living with her abusive mother, it was no wonder where Aubrey inherited her mean streak from. Her anger knew no bounds, and she could bark as much as she could bite, which was quite a lot. But when she met her friends, her anger subsided a bit. She became nicer, more calm. But the people she went to school with saw this as a weakness, and so they tried to bite. When Mari passed away, the kids at school cornered her with knives and broken beer bottles, and she did what she had to to get out of there alive. She was arrested later that day after the cops found the seven beaten up children in the alley behind Geno’s. In court, she was free of charge after CTV footage of the interaction was retrieved, showing she was (mostly) innocent, though, she was still sent to the hospital anyways. Her mother had disowned her after she was arrested.

She resides in the cafeteria, serving food and greeting newcomers. It was either that or garbage duty. She likes hanging out with Kel sometimes, but to her, the guy really gets on her nerves most of the time.

Basil- Self harm / Suicidal thoughts (SH)

Was placed in the “major risk” area of the facility.

Basil was there when the accident happened. He stood at the stair well as Mari descended in seemingly slow motion, like an angel from heaven. But when she hit the ground, she looked more like the embodiment of hell. And Basil ran. He ran as fast as he could, away from the stairs and away from the house. He was a coward. After she was announced dead, Basil’s mental decline began quickly. It started with him skipping school, then meals, then just eventually going in for the kill with a pair of gardening shears and some pesticide. He survived, unfortunately for him, and was transported to the hospital for treatment. How horrible it was that Sunny and Basil had adjourning rooms.

Basil doesn’t leave his room unless required, and he straight up refuses to be put in the same room as any of his friends.

Mari- Deceased

Was killed on accident by Sunny during a schizophrenic episode.

But she isn’t really dead, is she? Sunny is keeping her alive. Just the force of his will keeps her on this earth, forever in sadness and longing for life again. She even still visits Sunny sometimes.

Miscellaneous OPM Characters as Lady Gaga Songs

please read this oh my god I spent so much time... there's some meta scattered in there I promise.

Fubuki

Telephone

Bloody Mary

Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)

Telephone - because I watched an Instagram edit that used it and now I have it permanently associated with her. Fubuki has a fun and glamourous aesthetic and I feel like the song reflects that too Bloody Mary - because of the "I wont crucify the things you do" line. it reminds me of all the people she knows that are like. highly problematic but she's irremovably tied into their lives and ultimately accepts them. Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) - there are relationships she's had that fell tragically because of, while among other things, her own personal flaws and ego. It's tragic, but she really wasn't equipped to handle everything thrown at her at the time. there really is "nothing else [she] can say" anymore. Imagining her with this song puts a lighthearted twist on the woe of it.

Psykos

Summerboy

So Happy I Could Die

Teeth

MANiCURE

Summerboy - I like to imagine it as Psykos having the summerboy's POV. Feeling disposable and like she got played by Fubuki, she is left to sort of sourly reminisce on what could've been. So Happy I Could Die - for that INTENSE SAPPHIC ANGST. Also I like the concept of like. attempting to use sexuality to cope with severe internal turmoil. I love this song sooo much. Teeth - vibes I guess MANiCURE - "SHE WANNA BE MAN CURED!" so basically more sapphic stuff but campier and less gut wrenching this time lol.

Genos

(... god I initially struggled finding stuff for him HARD but ended up with 4 things. what.)

Replay

I Like It Rough

Shallow

Paparazzi (bonus)

Replay - Lady Gaga is talking about trauma and PTSD taking over and effecting every part of her life, which I feel like is relevant. "Every single day, yeah I dig a grave Then I sit inside it wondering if I'll behave" I Like It Rough - I've always interpreted this song as only ever experiencing harshness from people, not knowing how process kindness, and struggling to decipher sincerity. Which I feel like, removed from all the sex stuff, fits Genos pretty well thematically. Shallow - I don't really mean this in a ship way here (to be honest, one sided genos pining is my ideal! But that's not relevant here) but I can think of this song with Genos and Saitama's relationship and how at its core, One Punch Man revolves around them. They represent the central themes of companionship and how humanity is based on relationships with others. They try to "fill that void" with each other and Genos looks at Saitama worried, when will it be enough? (When will HE be enough?) Also I enjoy listening to songs where there is some form of disappearance or death and imagining the MA arc. I did that a tonnn with Sweet Talking Woman by ELO a while back, something about mixing the love song about chasing someone with the tragedy of the MA arc and how Genos became unattainable really clicked for me. (Fun fact, I had 182 listens for that song on my Spotify wrapped... pretty much all thinking of Genos) I'm supposed to be talking about Lady Gaga though oops. "Crash through the surface, where they cant hurt us We're far from the shallow now." They've experienced the same alienation, whether inflicted or self imposed and were able to drag each other out of it. Perhaps there's comfort in the similarity. Paparazzi (bonus lol) - If you enjoy leaning into Genos's weird obsession, this is the song for you! He's a little neurotic...

Flashy Flash and Sonic

I'm giving them the same song

Speechless

Speechless "In your tight jeans With your long hair and your cigarette stained lies Could we fix you if you broke? And is your punch line just a joke?" I connect it by thinking about how much weight their relationship held in their lives. Each of their dreams had the other in it. And I think that losing that was a bit worldshattering. "Would you give it all up If I promise, boy, to you?" Eyyyy we were left on a bit of a cliffhanger right? Flash was trying to ask sonic something but got cut off by the other ninjas. "We could-" we could what, Flash? we. could. what. (Team up again? Please I'm literally on my hands and knees begging, yet I know it's never that easy with OPM)

Amai Mask

Beautiful, Dirty Rich

The Fame

Beautiful, Dirty Rich - It's about fame! Living the high life! He's like a major celebrity and a diva so I think it works. Just ignore the bit where it says "but we've got no money" because he definitely has money. The Fame - similar thought process

Webigaza

Applause

Applause - She "lives for the applause!" The fame itself is empty without her fans.

Do-S (aka BONUS! other songs I like but had zero use for)

Love Game

Money Honey

Bad Romance

Poker Face

Government Hooker

Judas

not sexual enough for Do-S but I really like Americano too.

okay I'm done with these now I'm literally going insane

#opm #one punch man #opm meta #fubuki #psykos #genos #flashy flash #sonic opm #only tagging the more relevant characters lol #i listened to way too much lady gaga for this in the last 3 hours #i may have gotten in the top 0.05% for her in the wrapped this year but. imgonna die

genos gives you chocolate. lots of chocolate (gn!reader, tiny angst with FLUFFY ENDING)

you are really not expecting anything during valentine's day this year. you see, it had been a couple of months since you started "dating" genos, aka demon cyborg. the problem? he insisted on bringing saitama everywhere.

you initially didn't mind, since both of them had saved your life from a monster. but on your last "date", you literally had enough, and even saitama seemed to realize that. again, the master was better than the pupil.

"i just didn't know why he keeps asking me on dates since he brings saitama with him," you mumble to yourself.

it is valentines's day and you are waiting for genos outside a metro station. you really are on your limit now; you love him, but only him. you really weren't interested in a poly relationship.

a small commotion starts, and you look in that direction, seeing someone carrying tons of boxes of chocolate, attracting everyone's looks. tons. you giggle, wondering who would be lucky person when the pile starts coming in your direction.

"wait a minute..." you groan, recognizing the robotic form. it is your boyfriend genos.

and no saitama around.

he stops right in front of you, and you think there are more than a hundred boxes of different types of chocolate in there. you look at your small package, embarrassed.

"what is all that?" you ask, surprised. genos looks at you like you are crazy.

"it is valentine's day?"

"well, i know of. what is all that?" you ask, pointing at all the chocolates.

"chocolates. for you."

"genos, there must be around a hundred chocolates in there. how am i supposed to eat all of that? or even carry that home?"

"i will take it for you after the date."

"and you are going to carry that around everywhere? who gave you that idea?"

"saitama-sensei."

of course, he did. you roll your eyes, waiting for him to appear any minute behind your boyfriend. he doesn't and genos starts speaking, his tone serious.

"sensei suggested you have been feeling neglected since we both realized you want to spend time alone with me, and i—" genos stops, and you can swear he looks a little bit embarrassed "—have been hurting you. for that, you have my apologies. i didn't mean to."

it is really the first time you have been talking about feelings since the first time you kissed, and you asked him on a date. you gulp, waiting.

"if you allow me, it will be just us in dates now. no saitama-sensei."

"and the hero stuff?"

"that might be of disturbance, but i will try to make sure it isn't."

you think for a moment, his yellow eyes glued on your expression and decision. genos didn't quite have any romantic relationships well, since you. you were his first one. there were many new things going on even for him; genos was learning and discovering how to love and be loved. he is worthy of another chance.

"fine. but, if i see saitama lurking around anywhere, you will never see me again, genos."

"fair enough."

you don't see it, but behind you, saitama, disguised with his famous orange wig gives a thumbs-up to genos. genos answers back and saitama disappears in the crowd.

"and why this much chocolate? saitama thought you would buy my love?"

"no, he just said the easiest way to a lover's heart is through their belly."

"you have to learn a loot more about me, genos."

"i suppose i do," he says, smirking ear to ear. you have a good feeling about this.

part of my valentine's day special 4/5 to go. i didn't even know i would be able to finish this since it is close to midnight in brazil BUT I DID. IT IS MISSING ONE AND I WILL BE DONE (it is not midnight where i live SO IT COUNTS)

Sidney Crosby for the character ask

actually i do have a very specific first impression of sidney which is that i was . can’t have been ten, probably closer to seven or eight and i was living w my dad and hockey was on and it was pens vs a team that was not the leafs, and i knew he was a leafsfan so i was like “why are you watching hockey if it’s not your team” and he was like “sometimes i like to watch it for sid the kid” and i was like. a kid? and he pointed out what must have been a truly baby sidney and i remember clearly thinking I Hope He’ll Be A Leaf Some Day… truly my delusions have always been there.

IMPRESSION NOW

well GOAT obviously

beyond that he is such a good leader and obviously just a huge awkward dorky sweetheart -- there are no stories of bad encounters with him, like, ever. i think my general vision of him is just someone who is so stubborn and willful and good, who has pushed all of himself into doing hockey and doing hockey well and has negotiated some kind of reward from the universe for it. definitely has The Tism. if i were a hockey boy i too wouldve jerked off to posters of young sidney.

also is aging incredibly as both a player and as a guy… i don’t think either sidney or the audience are ready for silver fox sidney crosby. but the time is approaching far more rapidly than either of us would care to admit

i do however believe that the instant he retires he will vanish into the distant nova scotian woods, or perhaps the sea, and we will never hear anything about him again.

FAV MOMENT

much like ovi, sidney is Old and thereby has an abundance of Moments. Here are some:

sidovi duelling hat tricks night (it was both of their moments, come on)

That one anecdote about him walking with reporters coatless somewhere in the negative tens, followed by them going through the tim hortons in the rink and people stopping and realizing who it is the moment that he goes into the elevator

2010 olympic golden goal

this isn’t technically a Sidney Moment but the steve dangle tweet about “has sidney crosby passed the torch followed by sidney crosby ripping out his opponent’s heart and eating it has been happening for the past six years” (the tweet itself is also about four or five years old)

The entirety of his Fucked Up Teeth era where he had to wear the fishbowl and fought a bunch of people . I think we don’t remember enough that Sid used to be an absolute bloody menace -- I’m pretty sure he’s either the only rookie or one of the only rookies with 100 pts and 100 PIM in a season.

he did the michigan before it was cool btw

IDEA FOR STORY

well let’s go back to the disappearing into the woods thing. have you guys heard of sable island perchance

well u see. there is an island off the coast of nova scotia

it’s got an electoral district and everything. Or it’s part of one. Which is weird because only a couple of researchers live there periodically.

anyway. king under the mountain type au where post-concussions sid decides instead to leave hockey, go back to nova scotia and become a lighthouse keeper/researcher. living on sable island, skating once a year on the thin-ass ocean ice when it freezes. disappears when the sport of hockey needs him most etc

in fact in this au he leaves in 2012, and because there’s no hope of his returning the penguins are. Substantially worse in the following year, not only breaking hard from the playoffs but also doing a leedle light tanking to get themselves a similarly touted prospect… 2013 first overall pick nathan mackinnon.

natemac who is and has always been a sidney fanboy numero uno AND a sicko who wants 2 win above all else. natemac who gets himself immediately into a war of wills with geno because geno wants sid to live a good life, a long and peaceful life away from where he has been and natemac who knows that there is something else going on. that sid gave up, but he is not lost.

so nate and geno play out nate’s rookie year; nate breaks in the offseason for sable island in search of sidney. cue geno coming along.

nategenosidney roadtrip 2 return to hockey nightmare psychosexual experience for everyone involved (geno has to contend with his feelings for sidney, a dear friend and colleague who he wants to both protect and win alongside, as well as his frustration towards nate, this doughy-faced and overemotional young firecracker… a lot like a certain sid, back in the day.) (sid has to deal with his feelings for geno, a respected teammate who he wanted to become captain after him but so clearly would rather not have that spot in his life replaced, and his new affection for this nate guy, someone who is so earnest and so competitive and so insane in exactly the same way as him that he’s not sure if it’s deliriously endearing or driving him nuts)(nate has to deal with his huge awfully enrapturing celebrity crush on someone he has always wanted to play with but who is apparently unavailable and has to deal with this sort of weird captainrookie mutual bullying homoeroticism he’s developed with geno)

i think this just ends up in a threesome tbh but who am i to say

UNPOPULAR OPINION

honestly… i do not find him that particularly attractive… i think it is maybe something to do with yalls competency kink (can’t blame u). the lips and the ass are great though he’s just almost too pretty for me.

also i am a sidstache truther

FAV RELATIONSHIP

genuine tie between nate, geno, and ovi

FAV HEADCANON

go read jes ticklefighthockey’s entire archive right now and then go read her entire ao3. THAT is true sidscholarship i do not feel as if i am anywhere near capable of that level of it

I don't know this Nick guy and its personal so not my place and I'm sorry in advance but never go back to him. Infact don't give him any more space in your life. We don't always get what we want but settling for anything less is way worse. We never stop regretting it

ah yes the nick problem 🙃 it's not even about him, it's me. i have always known exactly who he was, he's not the settling down or monogamous type no matter how much he likes to pretend he is. there isnt any 'going back to him' because we were never together in the traditional significant other sense anyway. i might have had some delusions about saying fuck you to california and moving in with him in CT and spending my time working at history museums and drawing sailing ships, but thats obviously not happening anymore lol. all six years here in cali i never felt as happy as that one day i spent in the small east coast sea port and i dont know if it was the place or him.

I was actually just texting ethan about this stuff cause he had to get some relationship complaints off his own chest. and i do think this is a huge question for lots of people - at what point is 'love' no longer enough to keep two people together? like is it 'settling' if i am in love, even if that love isnt returned equally? men do this all the time, so much so its a goldigging trope, and older women tend to give younger women the super fun advice of 'make sure the man loves more in a relationship' (heterosexual). but like, isnt that sexism too? why cant women be the ones who pine away and try to win over the man? why is it the men always doing the chasing? like in my favorite internet couple justin and ally, ally was the one who went after justin hard, lol! why cant women have more romances like that?

but also like yeah no, nick and i are done. i may be a lot to handle in a crisis, but so is he. and i steadfastly and adoringly answered his calls almost every night to come down and take care of him when he was in physical pain during his back injury even when i was still dealing with PTSD myself and not sleeping much and working full time. and...i think in a real relationship i would like that to be fairly reciproical. none of this disappearing for weeks with nothing but his little bird icon telling me he is still watching all my insta stories. heck even the random dudes on my insta who keep insulting geno are being more supportive than nick during this. the one guy even went and asked his mom for an old digestion cure from his home country, like. thats bare minimum and those guys dont even really know me 😂

#but at the same time i could still write pages and pages about how much i loved him #but i dont think i will be inviting him to LA ever again #he would have really hated LA anyway lmao

ooh what is crosvechkingate pls 🙏

WIP tag game :)

crosvechkingate (which is also a tag i have on here for inspo images) is a story in which sid and ovi had a FWB thing their shared rookie season and made a sex tape, which has disappeared- they figure it's been deleted and lost to time, nothing to worry about. sid and geno get together shortly before the 2016 playoffs run, and sid....maybe has failed to mention his history with ovi to geno, at any point. including that time when geno and ovi were in a huge fight and ovi was trying to kill geno every time they saw each other (gosh i wonder why ovi was so mad...).

and then one day the tape gets leaked....

The news breaks when they’re in the middle of a long West Coast road trip, during morning skate before they’re due to face the Kings.

Zhenya and Sid are leaning against the far side of the rink, watching the second power play unit line up against the PK squad, when Sully is pulled aside from his conversation with the third line by one of the media people.

Zhenya takes a drink from his water bottle and watches idly for a minute as Sully stares down at an iPad, then turns his attention back to the drills. He nudges Sid. “You see Carter tonight, or come back after game?”

Sid nudges him back. “Not sure yet, I’ll text him after skate. Why, you got a better offer?” His voice is low, but his glance is sly.

Zhenya bites his lip to tamp down a smirk, shrugging and leaning on his stick. “Dunno, maybe. Depend on what better you looking for, you know.”

Sid leans closer and opens his mouth, eyes glittering, but just as he’s about to unleash something that will probably leave Zhenya flushed and distracted for the rest of practice, Sully shouts, “Crosby! Get over here, now!” from the bench, and Sid shrugs, taps his stick on Zhenya’s shin, and skates over.

Zhenya watches as Sully gestures frantically to the iPad the media rep is holding. His face is very red, and as Sid takes in whatever is on the tablet, his face turns very white.

Making A New Friend

This is a oneshot revealing the merging of Swap and Fresh into Ellie for the story of To Cure A Glitch's Blues. If you do not wish to consume spoilers, do not continue. If you are willing, walk on. A killer is waiting to greet you.

(Look in tags for trigger warnings. We keep everything light except for Fresh being a parasite but we don't want anyone getting hurt.)

Swap looked around, calling Fresh’s name. He had disappeared earlier that day and hadn’t told him where he was going, which was weird, because Fresh always told his little broseph. Swap knew so. Fresh promised.

Looking around the maze of a castle—Swap had gotten lost half an hour ago, but that wasn’t going to stop him—he tried to find any trace of the older skeleton when he heard… whimpering.

Swap froze. He knew that sound. He knew it far too well. Those were the cries of someone PAPS DON’T LEAVE ME PLEASE trying to hide the fact that they were dusting so no one would notice. He had heard it too many times to forget that muffled sobbing sound of a monster holding their hand to their mouth mixed with the coughing up of dust as they prepared to disintegrate.

That wasn’t going to happen today. Not on his watch.

Swap rushed up to the door and grabbed the door handle only for the sounds inside to stop.

“W-who’s there?” came the all too terrifyingly familiar voice of Fresh, wobbling and shaking with pain.

Fresh. It was Fresh who was dying alone in the endless corridors of the Crescents’ Castle. Not today. Not today!

Swap slammed the door open to see… a random Sans tied up on the bed and Fresh with his glasses off? Fresh never took off his glasses. What was going on?

"S-Swap? No... No no no no no Swap you've gotta skedaddle on outta here, squirt! You're gonna get totes unfresh if ya stay here!" Fresh whispered, waving his hands at Swap before noticing his left one disintegrating and hiding that one behind his back.

Swap just stared as Fresh's glove dropped to the floor in a pile of dust. "You're... You're... You're dusting! We have to get Geno!"

Fresh blinked, staring at him. "I... Kid, dis ain't what it looks like. I'm... I'm totes r-rad! I promise!" he said, trying to give the little skeleton a reassuring smile.

"No you're not!" Swap insisted, stomping his foot as tears welled up in his sockets.

"Really, if you close dat door I'll be totes fresh again in a couple o' days―" Fresh began before Swap shocked him into silence.

"STOP LYING TO ME PAPY!" the little kid screamed before covering his mouth, tears streaming down his cheekbones.

Fresh looked down at him, finally realising what was going on, why Swap cared so much... and why Berror had insisted on this one.

"I know what dusting means, okay?!" Swap yelled, staring at the floor as his little gloved hands clenched into fists. "I know what happens when people dust. They promise you that they'll be back, that they'll be okay, but then they dust and you yell and yell and wait and wait but they never do! And you're all alone and you don't know how to take care of yourself because you always had your big brother to take care of you but he's gone now and you're all alone and the human went away and I CAN'T DO IT AGAIN I CAN'T!"

Fresh gave a shaky sigh as his arm finished disintegrating, and he walked up and put a hand on Swap's shoulder, getting down on one knee so he could look Swap in the eye.

"Okay. Okay, broski. I'll tell you," he said softly, giving Swap the best smile he could. "I just... I know you'll probably hate me after dis, so... just let me explain, okay?"

"I know I wasn't brought here to just be your friend," Swap whispered. "It seemed like a weird request, but I was so lonely, and he was giving me a way out... I couldn't say no. I knew something weird was going on, but I just wanted to leave."

Fresh clicked his tongue against his teeth. "Dat... Dat explains quite a bit, actually..." he admitted. "How long have you known?"

"Since you glared at Starberror for offering to take me," he said honestly.

Fresh nodded. "Dat would do it... Dat would do it... You are a smart little broski."

"My dad taught me not to trust people if they said weird things that didn't make sense," Swap replied proudly. "I just... bent that rule this once because... I wanted to come home with you..."

Fresh gulped, trying not to cry himself as he took a shaky breath. "Yeah... I get it. Not having a family is hard, broski. Dat's why I'm so lucky I've got the gang, y'know?"

Swap nodded. "Why didn't you tell them you were hurting?" he asked quietly.

"Oh Swap... dey already know," he replied solemnly.

The little one's eyelights widened in horror. "And they didn't do anything to help you?!" he gasped.

"See, dis is deir help," Fresh said, gesturing to their surroundings. "Dey gave me a rad room, dey got me a totes fresh Sans dere, and dey left me alone."

"They left you alone to die?!" Swap repeated. "Why?!"

"Broski..." Fresh sighed and sat down on the floor as his legs started disintegrating. "I don't got a lot of time to explain dis, okay? So... I'm gonna have to make dis quick unless ya wanna wait until next week."

Swap nodded, sitting down in front of him and looked at him attentively. "Dis... Dis isn't my body, Swap. Dis is Sans's body from Echotale #932," Fresh began, looking down at the floor. "My body is da little tentacle thing wrapped around da soul in my socket."

"That Sans is really nice then," Swap said with a smile. "Why didn't he need it anymore?"

"He... He did need it, Swap," Fresh corrected him gently. "I... I just took it from him because I needed it too."

"You... You took it? Why?" Swap asked, sounding distraught.

Fresh flinched, knowing exactly where this was going to go. "Because... Because I would die without it, Swap. I get really, really hungry, but I can only find food in other people's bodies or by eating souls, and eating souls is harder because I have to fight the body that I have, broski. So instead, I only eat the souls of very bad monsters occasionally, and have to keep stealing bodies to stay alive."

"So... You want to eat the souls of bad people, but the people whose bodies you take don't want to, so you have to keep stealing bodies to stay alive?" Swap summarised, letting that roll over in his mind.

"Yeah, that's exactly right, broski," Fresh agreed, a tiny spark of hope igniting inside him. Maybe Swap wouldn't hate him after all...

"What if your body let you eat souls?" Swap asked curiously, the cogs beginning to click together in his head. "What then? Would you still have to steal bodies?"

"No, I guess not, but no one would willingly give up deir body to me. I'm... I'm a freak," Fresh mumbled.

Both of them ignored the frantic muffled screaming on the bed.

"What would happen if someone gave you their body?" Swap asked, continuing his line of thought. "Willingly, I mean? You never said."

"I don't know. It's never happened before, broski," Fresh admitted, shrugging his shoulders.

"What if... I gave you my body?" Swap offered quietly. Fresh looked up for the first time since he had started explaining, eyelights wide.

"W-what?" he asked, startled and not quite sure he wasn't hallucinating or dreaming. It wouldn't be the first time he had hoped for something like this...

"I trust you. I'd let you have mine. We could share it! And... And you could eat all the bad souls you want, and we'd never be alone, and I'd protect you and you'd protect me, and you'd never have to hide in a dark room dusting by yourself ever again!" Swap rambled, rushing forward to explain his idea.

"Swap... You... You don't know what you're offering... You're offering to give up everything for me. You'd never get to be alone; you'd have to eat other people to live; you'd be labelled a freak by everyone outside our castle; you would be stuck with me for the rest of forever, broski! Think about what that means!" Fresh pleaded, little more than a rib cage and a skull now.

"I did, Fresh. It means you get to live and you don't have to be scared that there won't be a next body. I think I'm okay with that," Swap assured him. "Just... tell me how we do this. Do you... Do you need me to do something or...?"

"I... I shouldn't be agreeing to this... You're just a kid... You can't... You can't consent to this..." Fresh muttered to himself. "You can't actually understand this..."

"Do you really want to go and have to fight the skeleton tied up on the bed?" Swap reasoned, rocking back so he could fold his arms. "Do you actually want to have to fight just to live to tomorrow?"

Fresh stared up at the Candyfell on the bed and could feel the aching exhaustion settle in long before he even attempted to take the Sans for himself. He could already imagine the week-long struggle it would take to just get him ready enough for Fresh to go about his daily business, and the month after where he'd have to relearn to fight again away from prying eyes so no one could know of his weakness. Memories of nights going hungry flashed before him, a hunger he tormented himself with because he had promised himself that this host would last longer than the last one, because it wasn't fair to Geno and Error to make them hunt down a new one just because he couldn't make his food stretch. Swap was right; he really didn't want to do that. He hadn't wanted to for a long time now. He was just so tired.

Then his gaze shifted to Swap, kind loving wonderful Swap, who knew exactly what would happen to him if this went wrong and still offered everything to him. He shuddered, his little violet body curling in on itself around the last dregs of his current host's soul as he tried not to think of how nice it would be to just say yes, to give in, to let someone who loved him take him in and protect him for the rest of eternity. How... How could he say no to such a tempting proposition? All the food he could ever want; someone to talk to who wouldn't just scream at him about how horrible he was; the sweet warmth of being able to feel love and compassion from the soul he was guarding instead of hatred and fear; and he'd be able to, wouldn't he? He'd be able to protect Swap's soul instead of devour it, cradle it in his tentacles where no one could ever hurt him again and he'd be his wouldn't he? Swap would be solely his and no one would ever be able to take him away. He'd have a forever companion, one he could tell all of the stories he'd witnessed over his long, long lifespan.

It was then that Fresh realised he was out of time, and he shook the dust from his torso, looking up at Swap warily with one beautiful multi-coloured eye as he tucked his tentacles closer to himself. This was the final test, he supposed: Swap's reaction to his true form.

Swap looked down at him in awe, brushing off a little bit of dust before picking Fresh up―and didn't that make the parasite want to bolt; nothing good had ever come of being held before―and holding him up just below his chin so he could see him better.

"Is this... Is this you?" Swap whispered reverently, eyes beginning to sparkle with stars. Fresh, no longer able to speak, shuffled in Swap's hands for a minute before nodding his torso at him. "You look so cool, Fresh," Swap told him, gently removing one of his gloves with his teeth before running a gentle phalange down one of Fresh's appendages.

The parasite shuddered, leaning into the touch that he so craved. No one had ever touched his true self so kindly before... not that many ever had the chance, but Fresh could feel the beating intent inside of Swap's soul with every stroke of his finger, and there was not an ounce of fear or hatred to be found; only pure, unadulterated compassion and familial love for him and him alone.

"So... How do I...? What do you need me to do, Fresh?" Swap asked, studying him for any kind of reaction.

Fresh, resigning himself to his fate and trying to deny his excitement, pointed at Swap's scarf.

"You... want my bandanna?" Swap asked, confused. Fresh shook a tentacle at him to mimic a finger waggle before tapping Swap's hand and pointing at the bandanna again.

"Oh! You want to sit on my bandanna!" Swap realised. "Okay!" He carefully moved his hand over so Fresh could climb into the fabric. "Now what?"

Fresh chuckled silently to himself as he climbed over the fabric to the opening between the two collarbones and slipped through.

Swap burst out laughing, reaching for his neck instinctively. "C-careful! I'm t-ticklish!" he warned Fresh.

The parasite ignored the warning, practically not even hearing it, as he was too busy staring at the beautiful soul that had been given to him. It was pure and white and whole, the most beautiful soul he'd ever seen, and he got to hold it in his tentacles. Man, in a few years when all the other Sanses would look at his host buddy with envy, he'd know that he was the luckiest guy alive. Swap was that good.

Fresh gently wrapped his tentacles around Swap's soul and turned, getting ready to take it to its new home in the safest part of any skeleton as he climbed back up Swap's ribs and came out the other side, clutching his prize.

Swap's metaphorical breath hitched when he felt Fresh wrap around his soul, wondering for the first time if this was actually a good idea, when he felt Fresh climbing up his neck. "What... What are you d-doing, b-broski?" he practically whispered, beginning to grow nervous now.

Fresh just patted the side of Swap's skull, trying to reassure the little skeleton. With that out of the way, he gently vine-roped his way across Swap's head with his tentacles to be stationed right over his eye, both of them staring into each other's beings.

"Everything... okay...?" Swap asked, his voice slurred as he was entranced by Fresh's gaze and grip on his soul. Fresh nodded, content that he had prepared Swap thoroughly, before climbing inside his new host's eye socket.

Swap immediately doubled over, scratching at his socket without ever gaining purchase with hyperventilating breaths. It only seemed to get worse―then he froze and simply sat there for a moment, still as a mouse as he stared at the floor.

The Candyfell Sans didn't dare move a muscle on the bed, not wanting to attract either entity's attention in order to save his own metaphorical skin. Unfortunately, that didn't last long.

"I'm... so... hungry..." Swap whispered, eyelights still dark as he stared. "So... hungry... We're so... hungry..."

Swap looked up at him, and in one socket there was his original eyelight dilated beyond measure while in the other a mesmerising red and yellow eye held him frozen.

Little did the poor Sans know that gaze had already marked him for death.

Dreamtale_Not_Found & Aftermare Week

Notes

I'm having a very difficult day, but here it is!

Feel free to skip this work if you want to read Dreamtale_Not_Found chronologically!

。。。

Spring

"I can't believe you out of all people are hiking," Nightmare teases playfully. Geno huffs, "we're not hiking! there is a very decent road here now, and it's not like i'm doing it for fun. they say there's a spring on the mountain that begins in the Underground and therefore has magical properties. i want a sample or ten."

Nightmare smiles widely, "What, not even a skele-ton? Then why bother?" Geno laughs in response, and the sound warms Nightmare's entire being.

Geno's backpack is carried by a Gaster blaster, naturally. It's a wonder he doesn't have a second one carrying himself. He still climbs the mountain unhurriedly, almost leisurely. "So what are we looking for?" Nightmare asks, looking around curiously. "a path from the main road we're using now. there's a few, humans aren't afraid to go here anymore, but i know for sure there is one that leads to the spring," Geno explains.

"So we're checking every single one of them?" Nightmare clarifies. "so we're checking every single one of them," Geno repeats in a calm voice, then adds. "and it isn't even a nightmare, because my Nightmare is here with me." Nightmare tries to reply but all that comes from his mouth is incoherent noises. Well, he was the one who started with the puns… And Geno has far more experience. Nightmare's not upset to lose, though. It's not a war, it's love, and in love, everything's a little bit better.

"Here's one," Nightmare points at a barely visible path on the right side of the road.

"i'm so glad you're with me," Geno admits.

"Because with your poor eyesight you wouldn't find anything?" Nightmare teases. "because i love you and enjoy your presence," geno responds easily. "but also because of that, yeah." They smile at each other and turn right, eventually disappearing in the woods.

It's sunset when they find the spring. At some point, Geno actually summons a second Gaster blaster to carry him, exactly like Nightmare half-jokingly predicted. Is it really easier than walking, Nightmare's not sure, but regardless, he walks by Geno's floating side, drinking in the sights and smells of the deciduous forest. It's peaceful but lively — the wind rustles the branches, the birds are singing, the flowers are blooming. It's a nice day to be outside, and no one deserves to burn in hell.

"do you also hear the sound of water or am i hearing things?" geno asks.

"Look, right there!" Nightmare exclaims.

Geno quickly and deftly gets down from the blaster, like he'd done it before, and hurries to the spring. Even the air around it feels different, and Nightmare steps closer and slowly breathes in, savouring it. Geno gets his backpack from the other blaster and makes both skulls disappear.

Nightmare watches curiously as Geno gets his samples of water, then collects some in a plastic cup, then takes a sip. "mm, definitely magical. so clear and cool, too…" Geno turns his head, looking at Nightmare, "wish you could try it as well…"

"It's okay," Nightmare reassures with a smile. "I don't need to drink anyway."

Geno puts his samples away and gets… a blanket. What?.. "how about we sit for a bit?"

"So it is a date, you sly, sly creature," Nightmare shakes his head fondly.

"you once said anything can become a date with the right attitude, so you decide," Geno smiles. "so you tell me: is it a date?"

"Of course it is!" Nightmare laughs happily. "Spread out the blanket already!"

。。。

Notes

The question is, is it late spring or early fall (or maybe even summer)? You decide (; I love playing with words and their meanings, I just couldn't resist.

Take care 🌻

Grievances of the soul

One thing that does not leave me in peace. (Heh, pun)

The fact that ONE introduced us to a concept that souls of dead people can travel backwards in time to say goodbye to their loved ones.

That and influence the past version of themselves and affecting the timeline itself and the environment slightly in their favour. To change themselves to show their past selves the correct path to take because of what they've learned about in the future timeline they died on. Briefly haunting the past timeline in essence.

And once the soul ascertains that their loved ones are fine and safe and what other grievances they may still go through when their consciousness fades, after that they disappear and move on to the afterlife.

The spirit can only be perceived when one is in altered state of consciousness/awareness. Such as here when Tareo is waking up from his stupor and is not completely awake yet. Or when said person is in a spiritual plane like Child emperor and Garou.

Whether the soul time travel is possible or not because the soul itself gained power to transcend time via being imparted by God's power or whether souls in general just exist outside the space-time continuum? Or whether the soul needs an anchor to help them do that.

I can only speculate on that, not enough definite information to make a conclusion.

But let us remind ourselves about what happened in the doomed timeline.

EVERYONE. DIED.

Does that mean their souls just left and did they get in essence, duplicated if the souls can exist outside time?

Or did causality just fix itself like it never happened in the first place because they looped back so that we don't have uh, any random other souls floating around and haunting because they don't exist outside time? Probably. It's what Genos tells us happened.

I suppose everyone's souls are safe for time being.

We don't have any evidence of the contrary happening, like if the soul of a person had traveled back in time and started haunting a location or a person or something in order to change the timeline in benefit of their past selves and say goodbye to their loved ones.

Wait...

No...

Oh no...fuck no, nononono don't do this to me.

FUCK.

The shadow that snuck too close OVA.

Where Saitama has inexplicable shadow inside his room and he instinctually reacts, only to see nothing. A shadow that magically puts a leaflet of an Udon restaurant place on his desk and tidies up the place a little bit..like vanishing the trashbag and moving items around a little. A shadow Saitama could perceive because he is seemingly more spiritually attuned, like when he can perceive OPM God's subliminal messages and punched a hole into spiritual place.

"This place is getting pretty messy."

Yet according to Genos' research, he was not doing anything like thinking about cleaning for 3 days or getting his place any messier than it has been for the past 3 days honestly. Thank you figyun for the translation.

Cycle Analysis of his life cycle Average sleep period: 9.4 hours Most watched programming: Weather forecasts, disaster channel Most consumed food: Cabbage Saitama’s daily schedule flow: Sleep -> eat breakfast -> watch TV -> sleep again -> eat lunch -> watch TV -> go shopping -> eat dinner -> watch TV -> do laundry -> bathe -> sleep

But when Genos arrived to his house suddenly? Unexpectedly? After 5 days of nothing?

Saitama's table had already been cleaned up. He was already dressed up and ready in his hero suit for the next day.

He does not dress up in his hero suit unless he's going out. It's like he was expecting to go out.

But he had no reason to go do hero work. He watches TV for anything interesting happening and there was nothing noteworthy during that day and he had shopped for food on day 3 of the investigation according to Genos logs and dined out on day 4, so he was low on money too.

Nothing that he would need to do to dress up in his hero suit and just...wait inside his house.

Instead of dressing up in hero suit, he would be lounging around in his normal wear, such as when Genos very unexpectedly shows up inside his house and he's only in his pyjama bottoms since he did not know the exact time when Genos would show up again.

It feels like when Genos showed up, Saitama was expecting a visitor. In that specific time.

Genos could have shown up directly after he met Saitama and Saitama accepted him as disciple. But he did not. So he could have literally appeared at any point.

Saitama cleaning up is also a real world example of depression that Saitama bothered to even clean up for appearances sake, because he would not clean up for himself unless is infringes on his own comfort and daily schedule. He would continue procastinating.

Saitama is usually very frugal too. It kind of feels out of place for him to go out eat twice in the same day, if this is a depiction of the same day 4. He had shopped the previous day too, assuming this is the dinner that Genos mentions in the log is the flow of time of day, so it's not like he did not have anything at home to prepare. Though that can also be attributed to depression and unwillingness to prepare food at home.

What we may be missing is a scene where Saitama walks back home from his trip and punching the monster and sees the Udon leaflet and decides that instead of making dinner, he would go eat out again instead. Despite being low on money and having food at home.

(A very particular choice of words for this scene innit?)

Nor did he choose the cheaper option of alchohol, even when he was having a shitty day, because he was trying to change and think positively. We do not know if Saitama would turn towards alchohol, but substance abuse is common with depression.

That is, if he wasn't trying to think more positively after having one of his comfort meals. That there are still people out there who appreciate what he does.

“I just need to change how I think. Right, I need to think positively! I just have to believe there will be people in this world who appreciate all the things that I do. I became a hero three years ago. I’m not saying I need fans, but it would be nice if someone noticed what I’ve been doing…Oh yea there was that guy who wanted to become my disciple.”

It honestly sounds like he's already attributing these qualities to a disciple he does not personally know. And can no way be certain about whether the guy is actually going to show up.

A disciple he had accepted without a hassle, but then does a double-take. He was never looking for disciples, not even when Genos shows up to his house, he outright tells him he's not looking for a disciple and that he should go home.

A disciple he only found because seemingly immortal, superspeed mosquito led him there.

Future Garou already influenced his younger self to not retaliate against the heroes and Saitama displayed his powers by protecting Genos core from any harm. Probably by affixing it with his divine power.

What if we did that again? But with a mosquito?

(An insanely hilarious thought is Future Saitama using his powers to troll past Saitama)

(I've seen this movie before, it's Back to the future innit?)

If Saitama did not have a feud with this immortal mosquito, he would have stayed firmly inside. Or only ventured out when he saw the actual monster from television. And by then, it would have been too late to come to Genos' rescue.

And everything Genos does after...greatly annoys Saitama too.

He talks his ear off and unintentionally mocks Saitama's bald head. Saitama even tells him later he's annoying. Saitama at the beginning even regrets taking Genos as disciple. Yet he still lets Genos stay.

Going with Genos to house of evolution and sparring with him, even though he does not like violence. But these little happenstances awaken Saitama's protective instincts and make Genos look cool to Saitama's eye.

Then he takes Genos to the same noodle stand he visited before, despite being low on funds and even unsure if he could afford the place. But he does it anyway because eating good food is an experience Saitama wants to share with the people he is close to. Genos especially.

Heck, he initiates the noodle contest regardless if he can actually afford the failure. And he does give up in the end. But Genos bails him out of paying. Chances are, it's a metaphor.

How lucky is it that there just so happened to be a contest there, the same day Saitama decided to take Genos there to eat?

Genos makes a small confused sound at why Saitama thinks he's amazing for eating a vad of noodles. It's not because he can eat a lot but because Saitama highly values perseverance in a person.

A neat setup for a setting that endears Genos' character traits to Saitama. That he can appreciate good food, sharing meals, having fun and persevering even if he himself does not.

Also a neat setup to make Saitama consider Genos' safety and make him care about what happens to Genos. Not to mention seeds of jealousy.

All because of a random leaflet that appeared magically inside his house. Fancy that.

Genos did die didn't he? Before he killed the Mad cyborg, even if it was reversed. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Genos feels heavily indebted to Saitama because Saitama saved his life and he tries everything in his power as a disciple to make sure this debt is repaid. To save his life in return.

He would do anything for Saitama. There is little doubt in my mind that he won't end up self-sacrificing himself for Saitama either. He's already doing it for others.

Saitama would also do anything for Genos. And if Genos dies, Saitama will go down with him.

We've set the precedent regardless, now that souls can travel backwards in time, if they have the power to do so.

If traveling backwards in time as a dead ghost is what it takes to make sure Saitama actually lives and does not wither and die in depressive fugue? Making sure that Genos actually survives and becomes Saitama's disciple so they can be heroes together, live together and Genos can grow close to a person again and love?

Both would do so without hesitation.

It is only a matter of time before something similar, what happened to Future Garou, happens again.

Since...Genos has a hard time staying intact. It's inevitable.

He already died once. He probably dies again.

But like a cat, he has 9 lives.
