(English is not my first language so sorry for the mistakes)
• Oh Stinger, baby boy… first of all, let me just say this guy is insanely charismatic and full of energy.
• You could be having the most boring day ever, and just his presence alone would instantly lift your mood.
• At the same time, he takes his hero work very seriously, always focused on bringing justice to his opponents. And while he may underestimate his enemies from time to time, his passion and skill make him a standout hero loved by the citizens, especially by you.
• You really admire him. Not just in his hero version but in his more homey and everyday self too.
• It all started when the two of you went on a walk together. It felt like a date (though neither of you dared to call it that). On the way, you came across some bamboo shoots.
• Stinger got excited the moment he saw them, knelt down, and started digging them up. He told you he likes to dig them out from time to time. (That’s what One Punch Man: Hero Encyclopedia says, it’s an actual hobby of his 😆).
-It’s kind of dumb I know. You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to get your hands dirty- he says with a slightly embarrassed smile. But a few seconds later, he sees you kneel down beside him and start digging too.
-Don’t worry. I’m used to dirt.
• That’s when you tell him about your love for gardening and your family’s farm.
• He already knew about the farm, but he had no idea how passionate you were about it.
• Watching you talk so lovingly about it stirred something in him. He just kept staring at you, completely mesmerized.
• Something lit up inside him, the way your face glowed while talking made him feel something he hadn’t experienced before.
• He wanted to be a part of it. Somehow, in any way. If it meant he could keep seeing you smile like that, it was worth it.
• After that heartwarming moment, things only got better and better.
• Every time you saw each other after that, he’d ask how the farm was doing. Which would lead to more conversations, and more chances to see that bright, tender look on your face.
• Let’s be honest— you've got him on his knees, so please be gentle with him 😭
• I can totally see him secretly researching gardening facts and pretending he already knew them, just to impress you.
• Pls don’t laugh at him if he says something wrong he’s trying so hard!! he’d blush in shame and probably be too scared to try again.
• You could gently correct him a little later (spoiler alert: he’ll blush anyway).
• With great embarrassment he’d eventually ask if he could visit the farm. And of course, you’d say yes.
• The look on his face when you finally brought him there and he saw it all for himself... priceless.
• You didn’t plan to make him work on his first visit, but he insisted on helping harvest the lettuce. You told him it wasn’t necessary, but that man isn’t the type to take no for an answer. His sense of initiative goes beyond your known limits.
• From that day on, his visits became more and more frequent.
• Always offering to help out, even when you never asked him to. He’s stubborn and you know it. These are battles you simply can’t win.
• Assuming the farm has animals, it’s worth mentioning a couple of storytimes! one day he tried feeding the chickens… and they ended up pecking him.
• Another day he was gonna feed the pigs but accidentally slipped in the mud, getting it all over his face and clothes.
• You couldn’t help but laugh while he felt completely embarrassed. He didn’t talk about it for days poor baby.
• As the days passed some neighbors would begin to recognize him.
• An elderly couple now refers to him as "the bamboo boy." He gets a little embarrassed about it but you find it adorable. He’s starting to feel like part of the family.
• Once, you gave him a basket full of fresh veggies and he got emotional.
• Stinger values gift-giving as a love language, so for him, that basket basically said “I love you”.
• And he’d return the gesture in his own way, bringing you plants, animal feed, and little farm-related gifts.
• In the end, it becomes another hobby for him. You’re glad to have introduced him to it, and even more grateful for all the help during his visits.
• Who would've thought this would be what brought you closer together?
• Deep down, in a quiet part of your mind, you can already picture a future with him, living and working together on your own little farm.
