[A Week Off in the Life of a Very Tired Intern | Everyone x You]
Summary: You were one of the Hero Associationâs most diligent and reliable workers, but even someone like you had your limits. So when you were finally granted a full week off, you decided to use it properly: one hundred and sixty-eight hours of nothing but you and pure relaxation before you had to throw yourself back into work.
When the heroes heard about your situation, though, they took it upon themselves to help you take your mind off things.

(A/N: âŚi havenât updated my opm fics in ages, but i still wanted to contribute something to this dying fandom. this is kind of a sequel to my very first fic, ÂťBad PublicityÂŤ, but with a bit of a sexy twist heh i still love that story a lot, but iâve honestly lost a lot of motivation to continue it, and my writing style has changed so much that iâd probably want to rewrite the whole thing (which will most likely never happen) đŤŠ
sorry to the readers still waiting for an update, but i hope some of you come across this and see it as a bit of compensation đŤś
you donât need to read the first fic, but hereâs some context that might help:
reader is genosâ very diligent and hard-working manager, and she has co-workers (momo and aiko) who manage other heroes. she gets stressed easily, is constantly worried about her job, has a serious caffeine addiction, and has somewhat of a stick up her ass lmao sheâs inspired by ashley from the boys and retsuko from aggretsuko!
also, just a heads up: everyone in this story is kind of dumb and oblivious but weâre rolling with it, because itâs literally just porn)
Day 1: Saitama
If you had to describe yourself in three words, they would be: funny, smart, and most of all, reliable. If you asked other people, though, the answer would change just slightly: stiff, oblivious, but grossly dependable.
âIndecisive,â however, wouldnât make either list. Not from your friends, your family, or anyone else who knew you.
And theyâd be right.
Youâd always known what you wanted. Ever since you were a kid, youâd had your whole future mapped out with extreme clarity: Youâd start as an intern straight out of college, work your way up to marketing manager, and eventually become a chief marketing officer at a reputable company.
Not exactly a typical dream for an elementary school student, admittedly, but it was achievable and respectable, too.
And being the routine-driven, highly structured person you were, it wasnât surprising that, years later, you were exactly where you were supposed to be.
Your internship at the Hero Association was finally coming to an end and after putting in the workâweeks, months of itâyouâd been offered a permanent position. All those workdays that stretched well past midnight, the endless coffee runs, the hours spent hunched over photocopiers, and the most dreadful task of all, shooing away protestors from the company grounds, had finally paid off.
So when Mister Sato had finally given you the contract for becoming Genosâ official manager, it was, without a doubt, the happiest, most satisfying, day of your life, second only to your graduation day from A-City University.
Just a few more weeks, and youâd check off the first milestone of that long-standing plan.
To top it all off, after a lot of begging, persistence, and increasingly shameless negotiating with your boss, youâd even managed to secure seven full days of paid time off. At this point, if you somehow, by any miracle, won the lottery next Saturday, you could probably die the luckiest person in the world.
Everything was going according to plan.
And if you could solve that one small problem, then everything would be just perfect.
Youâd been staring at your laptop screen for hours now, typing, deleting, and rewriting the same list youâd been working on for nearly three weeks. It wasnât like you to finish something so last-minuteâyour vacation started tomorrow, after allâbut narrowing things down turned out to be way harder than expected.
Again, no, you werenât âindecisiveâ. Not at all.
There were just too many shows worth binge-watching, too many restaurants you wanted to try, and somehow, between it all, you still had to fit in meeting your friends. Sorting through all of it took time; like anything worth doing. Which was exactly why you were so deep in planning mode.
You were so absorbed, in fact, that you didnât hear the key turning, the door opening and closing, and not even the heavy footsteps that followed.
It only registered when a voice came from right behind you.
âWhat are you looking at?â
You jumped so hard you nearly knocked the laptop off the chabudai table.
A loud yelp escaped before you could stop it. Then, instinctively, you snapped the laptop shut, a little too forcefully, maybe, as you turned around and met Saitamaâs blank expression standing just a step behind you.
You gave him a nervous smile. âYou scared me for a sec.â
âIt is my apartment, you know,â he said, setting a plastic bag down by the door. A bunch of green onions stuck out from the top, along with a mix of other vegetables visible through the thin plastic. Probably another discount run, you concluded. Heâd probably have Genos turn it into something decent later. âI should be the one surprised youâre here.â
You gave him a sheepish smile and took another sip of your coffee. It had been months since youâd been assigned as Genosâ manager, back when you were still just an intern, and dropping by Saitamaâs apartment had become fairly routine. They lived together, after all.
The place itself was barely bigger than a shoebox, but youâd grown oddly fond of it. It reminded you of your own small apartment in E-City.
âYou didnât answer me,â Saitama said, lowering himself onto the hardwood floor beside you, legs crossed.
You hummed, tilting your head in question.
He nodded toward your laptop. âWhat were you looking at?â
Your eyes followed his, and your grin spread.
âAs you know,â you said, flipping the laptop back open, âIâm on vacation starting tomorrow. So Iâve been planning what to do.â
The screen lit up and with it, an aggressively detailed spreadsheet: Color-coded, time-stamped tables down to the minute, filled with notes, ratings, tiny embedded images, and cross-referenced links. There were contingency plans for delays, alternate routes for takeout deliveries, and even a column labeled Emotional Recovery Time.
You leaned back slightly, arms crossing over your chest as you watched him take it in.
Saitama stared at the screen.
âWow,â he said after a moment.
It was hard to read himâhe wasnât exactly an expressive manâbut you caught the slight pause, the way his eyes swept over your meticulously crafted Excel sheet. You smiled, satisfied. Of course, he was impressed. Anyone would be.
âYou even planned your toilet breaks,â he added.
You gave him a nod. âYup. That way I can relax, knowing everythingâs already been taken care of.â
ââŚright.â
He smiled politely as he blinked. His gaze drifted back to the screen, scanning another dense block of color-coded cells before pausing. Then his finger lifted, pointing at a specific row.
âYou want to get a massage?â
He tapped the entry in your schedule; it was a neatly labeled slot for a massage parlour not far from A-Cityâs center. Youâd asked Momo for recommendations the other day, and sheâd suggested one that came with complimentary foot massages and a discounted skincare package. Considering your diet had consisted mostly of espresso and hot pot lately, it was long overdue for your already sensitive skin to get some pampering.
âMy backâs killing me,â you said, stretching your arms over your head. Sharp, unhealthy cracks followed, and you winced. âI thought about asking Bang for acupuncture, butâŚâ You trailed off with a shudder. Just the thought of a hundred tiny needles piercing your skin was enough to make your skin crawl.
Saitama hummed absently, then suddenly froze as his finger slid further down the screen.
âItâs ÂĽ60,000?!â
You flinched at the sudden volume. It wasnât like you wanted to spend that much on ninety minutes of someone working the knots out of your back, but if you were going to do it at all, you might as well do it properly.
You shrugged, though your face twisted slightly at the reminder.
âI know, I know, but lookââ You grabbed the mouse and clicked into the listing. âIt includes a special herbal therapy mix, and thereâs live music during the session. Pretty amazing, right?â
The excitement in your voice didnât quite reach him. Instead, Saitama leaned back, arms crossing, his expression changing. He looked strangely serious now.
âMaybe you should look for a cheaper option,â he said. âYou donât make that much.â
Ouch.
There it was again. That unwarranted, stinging remark Saitama always seemed to have ready at the worst possible moment.
It stung more than it should have.
You knew it was true, though. You werenât exactly rolling in money, not at all, but hearing it said out loud was just rubbing unnecessary salt into the wound. But it wasnât like you were completely broke, either. It wasn't a crime to treat yourself once in a while, even when that meant spending almost half of your monthly income at an overpriced massage parlour.
âItâs just this once,â you said, clenching your fists before awkwardly using them to knock against your own back. A sigh slipped out as a bit of tension eased. âAt this point, if I go another day like this, I might actually die.â
Saitama hummed again, his brows pinching together in thought. Then, after a brief pause, he snapped his fingers, his expression suddenly brightening. You could practically see the light bulb go off over his shiny bald head.
âHow about I just give you a massage?â he said, turning to face you. He nodded, more to himself than anything, as if that would make his idea more convincing. âIâll do it for free.â
You raised an eyebrow, giving him a slow once-over.
Your gaze wandered from his dark, round eyes down to his open-mouthed smile, finally landing on that awful Oppai hoodie he was wearing again.
Your eyes narrowed.Â
How many times had you told him to get rid of it? Didnât you even throw it out for him the other day?
Noâwait.
You exhaled slowly through your nose and suppressed the urge to roll your eyes, stopping the headache before it could fully form. Just one more day, you reminded yourself. You couldnât afford to freak out now, not when your vacation was less than twenty-four hours away.
âYou can give massages?â you asked, not even trying to hide the doubt in your voice. âDo you even have a license?â
Saitama clenched one hand into a fist and smacked it into his open palm.
âNope. But I watched a video.â
You stared at him for a long, silent moment.
âYou can still go to that place tomorrow if it doesnât work,â he added. âBut if you try mine first, you save ÂĽ60,000 and still get a pretty good massage.â
It wasnât that you didnât like Saitama enough to let him do it; it was that you didnât trust him to do it well. There was a reason massage therapists went through proper training for months on end. Youâd read all about it while researching your appointment and even had a one-on-one consultation with a therapist in B-City. Different muscles required different techniques, and one wrong move could make things worse or result in problems that werenât even there in the first place. At least, that's what they'd said.Â
You glanced at him again and grimaced.
He looked so excited, sitting there, waiting for your answer with the widest grin youâd ever seen on him.
Saitama had never been the kind of person who liked doing much of anything. He was lazy and unreliable and probably the last person youâd trust to handle something like this. And yetâŚ
The small voice in the back of your mind, the one pointing out that heâd probably be very disappointed if you said no, kept getting louder the longer you stared. You squeezed your eyes shut, lifting a hand to pinch the bridge of your nose as a defeated sigh slipped out.
âOkay,â you said, giving in, and his grin widened instantly.
Before you could react, his hands landed on your shoulders, making you flinch at the sudden contact.
âLet me grab the oils real quick,â he said.
âOilsâ?â you started, but before you could finish the question, he was already on his feet and had quickly disappeared into the bathroom.
Your shoulders slumped. Then, when you shifted, you immediately tensed when a sharp knot in your back flared. A small hiss slipped past your lips, and you helplessly let your forehead drop onto the chabudai table with a loud thud, riding out the sudden spike of pain.
Whatever Saitama had planned, your back couldnât get much worse than it already was.
