#one punch

-Feeling daring you decided to flan the flames and humor the tension between you two "Hmm...a guy who pays attention to detail is always great... pretty eyes, and a good looking face" you fell silent before your final "daring" comment

"And I think blondes are pretty cute too."

-Your list set him completely off, he felt like he was about short circuit...he has blonde hair and hardworking but there's no way you're actually talking about him right now? There are a so many beings that you have encountered that have blonde hair so the probability of it being him can be significantly low. (Yes he is completely serious with this thought process.)

-After your little hangout, Genos tells his master absolutely everything, wanting to see his opinion. And Saitama is in complete shock over this and just decides to be straight honest with the cyborg.

-"Genos...you realize that they like you right? It's kinda obvious that they're talking about you"

-And this completely changes how he moves with you, he starts being bolder (as much as he could that is), and tries to lay it on thick and obvious. Until he just couldn't take the tension anymore

-It was after work and Genos was conveniently in the area and wanted to walk you home (The moment you mentioned the time in which you get off from work he immediately memorized it). It was later in the afternoon and the sunset peaked behind the pink clouds as you walked beside one another. Despite having vibrant conversation, the tension between you couldn't be cut by the sharpest knife in the drawer.

-It wasn't really a bad tension persay, but it felt like there was just something that was going to happen this time and you couldn't put your finger on it. However, Genos was plotting...

-He would finally gather the strength to tell you how he felt, he no longer cared if you did or didn't feel the same. You made him feel so love that he just couldn't take it anymore, everything about you made his chest core thump and his brain short circuit. And once he got an answer on how you felt then he could finally just move on with his life

-Ater all rejection is what builds strength, and there was about a 33 percent chance that you liked him back according to his calculations. (Yes, he influenced the data due to his own self doubt and insignificant hypotheticals but he just had to be sure!)

-Once you got to your apartment, you thanked him for walking you and he reciprocated a thank you for allowing him to. As you slipped your keys into the keyhole, and thinking he was about to turn away, he called out to you, "Excuse me, please wait."

-The cyborg paused clenching his jaw allowing you to turn and see him, he blinked before continuing, "I...I really like you."

-You smiled and replied, "I really like you too Genos, you're one of my favorite clients." But he just shook his head slightly.

- "No, no I don't mean it in that way. You're an excellent friend to me. But I like you...beyond friendship," he said, taking a breath before continuing.

-"After I became this way, a cyborg, I never imagined I would be this lucky to have such a good life, especially pertaining to..." blush tinged his cheeks before he continued, "being involved with another person...but when I am with you these feelings within me come out. I am fascinated with every aspect of you both mentally and p-physically."

-To say he looked tense was an understatement, however he tried his best to gather composure, "I understand that you may not feel the same, but I have fallen in love with you."

-The love confession was surprising, but not exactly unexpected from Genos. You had a slight suspicion that he held feelings for you, but you just chalked it up to him feeling a bit flirty or it just being a miscommunication.

-But, you truly did grow fond of the cyborg and to say that you didn't feel the same way as he did would be quite a lie.

-"I can't lie, I've been feeling the...same way, Genos," his core stuttered at your response...could this be going the exact way he imagined it?

- "I really appreciate you telling me and being the one to rip the bandaid off. I've always felt like something was there but I was a little scared to say something. I really want us to start seeing each other and not just hanging out but...going on dates," you finished, mustering the courage to say what you've been wanting to tell him and stare into his dark eyes.

-For a while, he was frozen and taking in every word that came from your lips. Until he powered himself up to speak again.

He quickly grasped both of your hands gently before blurting out, "You and I. Coffee tomorrow at Wake Up Cafe. As a date please."

- You giggled at his words, you could immediately tell that he was nervous but you didn't pay it any mind, "Of course, I would love to...Would you maybe want to come inside for something? Juice or tea? I know its a bit of a walk back to your guys' place."

-And whilst you were offering to be kind, you truly did just want him in your space.

-He nodded before a small smile graced his lips, "I would love that."
