Genos helping Saitama home after the latter is filled to bursting after an eating contest. maybe with Genos himself, maybe with Pig God. anyway Caped Baldy is stuffed so full he can’t move, can barely keep his eyes open. and at first Genos is just transporting him home by carrying him slung over one of his shoulders. but after a few minutes Saitama complains that being carried like that is too jolting, he’s bouncing up and down too much and he might puke, etc. so Genos pauses, then he adjusts Saitama so that he’s carrying him in both of his arms, princess-style. and at first Saitama feels a little awkward being carried like this but after a few moments, he relaxes. Genos … is strong. so much stronger than the cyborg allows himself credit for. and looking up at his face from this angle, Saitama really notices for the first time how full Genos’ lips are, how perfectly angled and smooth his cheeks. The small upturn of his nose. The glowing brightness of his golden eyes as they scan here and there, constantly on the alert for monsters and other dangers as they walk along in the dark. ah, but the look on his face, as always so stoic and serious … so Saitama tells him a joke. and proceeds to feel his heart spring into an uneven gallop as Genos’ rare but shockingly beautiful smile lights up his face. so Saitama keeps on telling jokes and makes a mental note to enter another eating contest as soon as possible.
