quick question: what is 5+7?
It's one of my top "need to finish" Genos/Saitama fanfics.
Genos is the top ranked hero at the HA
Genos has PTSD/OCD and is socially awkward/autistic
Saitama does whatever odd jobs and finds an ad from someone (Genos) looking to hire a fake best friend
Saitama, for the most part, just rolls with whatever and Gets It™
it's hella gay (and bi) and tender
It's uhhhh hard to scrape quotes from because unfortunately my writing tends to be only funny/angsty/emotional inside of a very large context, ggdndgk but here's something
5+7 - Guardian - One-Punch Man [Archive of Our Own]
Saitama keeps checking the time on his phone, but he knows Genos won't be there until noon. Sure enough, just as it hits twelve, there are three knocks at the door.
"That's Genos. Don't embarrass me," Saitama tells King, mostly as a joke. He pauses the game and trips getting to his feet, nearly going sideways into the wall.
"I don't think you need my help," King says, straight-faced.
Saitama gives him a glare and then mumbles, "No, I really don't."
He manages to get to the door without further near-death experiences.
Genos is waiting on the other side, looking conspicuously innocent.
"Were you waiting in the hallway this whole time?" Saitama asks him, keeping his voice at a whisper so King won't overhear.
"No... because… that would be irrational… and stupid," Genos whispers back, not looking at him.
"So you didn't hear me telling King to go fuck himself like five minutes ago?"
"I definitely did not hear you yelling at King to fuck you sideways, with a chainsaw, because I only arrived right this minute," Genos says.
"...Okay I just wanted to make sure."
Saitama steps back to let Genos in. "King brought over a new first person shooter game," he says while Genos takes off his shoes at the door. "It's got zombies and stuff, but we've been playing against each other. He keeps killing me with headshots."
"Do you want me to make him stop?" Genos asks, in a tone so dark Saitama hopes it's a joke.
