Romantic Attempt

[knitsock]

ROMANTIC ATTEMPT Let's face it: you're bad at this whole "romantic affection" thing. Really, that's being generous. You suck abysmally at it. Still, you've found yourself in something resembling a human relationship, somehow, and you feel like you either have or want to show you care. Uhm, congrats. I'm sure this is going to work out well for you! Just kidding. Be it a physical gesture, kind words directed their way, or a gift, you're going to screw this up, most likely. Screw it up badly. Hopefully, they'll be charmed by you at least trying and won't be offended. Fingers crossed. Comment with your character, info, preferences, and desired role: either the one pulling the attempt or the unwitting significant other. Reply to others. Thread.

If you want, Genos! [he kept up his strength with three meals a day, but they were pretty light usually. He has a lot of rice and ramen...]

[wounds]

[Except now Genos lives here and he refuses to let Saitama get by on the bare minimum.]

What would you like? We have plenty of ingredients here.

[averagehero]

Make what you want! You still taste and all that, right? [cyborgs are mysterious]

[wounds]

Yes, Dr. Kuseno put in a lot of effort to let me live a normal human life.

[Or as close to one as he can get.]

[averagehero]

Human's are pretty complicated, huh? You don't really think about it when you're born one.

[wounds]

I'm grateful the doctor made me as human as he did. There are a lot of details that go into making an artificial body.

[It's been a long time since he's been fully human, and he's not fond of thinking back.]

[averagehero]

Seems like! Really useful you can just get put back together, when you get hurt.

[wounds]

[Or loses all of his limbs.]

It is useful that way. [He starts pulling out chicken and rice and some spices.]

[averagehero]

That gives you an edge over most heroes! They only get one body, you can have many as you want.

[wounds]

Yes, I usually get upgrades whenever I go back as well.

Though Sensei's body is superior without needing anything artificial.

[averagehero]

I don't know what to tell you about that.

[wounds]

You're amazing.

[averagehero]

Enough with that, Genos, sheesh.

[wounds]

It's true.

[averagehero]

How long are you planning to hang around, anyways? Until you find that cyborg and defeat him?

[wounds]

Do you want me to leave?

[averagehero]

[he goes to take a drink, pausing to look at the soda]

I'm getting used to you, the company is nice.

[wounds]

I like living with you.

[averagehero]

Well, you're free to stay or go. I'm not sure how long you expected this disciple thing to last.

[wounds]

Thank you, Sensei.

[It's part wanting to learn and part just wanting to be around Saitama.]

[averagehero]

Call me Saitama! Just that.

[wounds]

Saitama-sensei.

[averagehero]

No! Just Saitama, sheesh. Listen to me.

[wounds]

Saitama.

[It's sort of embarrassing to say it without any suffixes.]

[averagehero]

Louder! [don't go sounding like a gasping schoolgirl!]
