Thank you so much to @themisterhip for making art based on my Saitama x Reader fic “Risky Text”
Fic here and on AO3
It means so much to me that someone would take their time to create something based on a fic I wrote! I’m literally blown away at how amazing this looks and I am so grateful 💕 you are so amazing 🥲 I could go on about all the little details I am obsessed with but 👏 I will save everyone my blabbering.
Do you have the source of where is said how Genos got his pink apron?
We know that Sai gave it to him as a joke or something like that, but we don't remember if it was said on an interview or online ahhh
If you know or have a link, i'll be so thankfull!
Hope you have an amazing day!!
Hi!! :D But ack, the closest ref stuff I could find (from the old account saltdrops who's long deactivated) were these trivia posts (here and here), nothing specific said about the apron, but Saitama did buy Genos' slippers/duster from a dollar store, so beyond that I honestly can't remember all the 2016 lore I reckon his pink apron's much of the same!
(Myfirstaskahh) Hi! I'm really sorry for what happened to your ring Genos and I TRULY hope you can find it💖 But what if you lost it before fighting that monster and you didn't realize? IT'S JUST A THEORY actually but it may happen. And good afternoon :D
(In response to recent posts)
Thank you for your kind message, @themisterhip-san
It’s a reasonable theory, but I would not have lost that ring without realising.
My Saitama was playing with it on my finger only a few minutes before the monster attack. He liked to run his thumb over it, and twist it around in its place.
I liked it when he did that...
I think...I have accepted now that it is lost for good.
I must be more logical about it. It was just a ring. The important thing is that I still have my Saitama.
He surprised me this evening, with a movie night...
I returned home from my latest search being out on patrol and he’d cooked udon, and piled up cushions and blankets and our futons in front of the TV, like a little nest.
“Hey, Genos,” he said, when I walked through the door. “Sit down yeah? I’ll bring dinner, then we’re gonna watch some movies.”
“I can do that,” I said, guilty that I’d been out selfishly hunting for my ring whilst he’d been working hard at home preparing for the evening.
He shook his head. “Nah, ‘s fine, go sit man. We’re gonna chill tonight.”
So I did as I was told, and sat in my usual place at the table to wait for him.
He brought out the food soon after, and it turned out he’d not only made the udon spicy, but super spicy.
My Saitama drank a lot of water.
I knew he must have done it on purpose, because he is very good at cooking and knows the exact amount of each herb and spice to add to food.
“Phew!” he exclaimed, halfway through the dish. “Got a real kick to it this time, huh?”
“Yes,” I said. “It’s delicious, thank you.”
“Heh, knew you liked it spicy, so I put in three times the amount,” he grinned.
“You didn’t need to,” I told him. “Your cooking is always incredible, like you.”
My Saitama glanced aside, rubbing the back of his neck. “Yeah well. Wanted to do something you’d love, y’know?”
“That’s--” I wanted to tell him it was unnecessary. Then I looked at the nest of pillows and blankets, and the rented movies waiting nearby.
He’d done this for me. I couldn’t tell him he shouldn’t have.
“That’s kind of you,” I told him.
“Just wanted to do something good f’r you,” he said. “Things’ve been kinda shitty, so...yeah. A night in’s a good way to relax.”
I nodded, something in my brain telling me that my chest felt hollow. A night in wasn’t going to make everything better. Even though it was a night in with my fiance, the most incredible person in the universe.
But I’d play along, for his sake. I wanted to see him smile and relax.
We ate quietly, and then he brought out snacks whilst I loaded the first movie. He’d rented doukyuusei and Blade Runner. At least, unlike the food, he’d opted for movies we both like.
As we settled down to watch, he tugged a blanket over our legs and pulled me close.
“There,” he murmured, balancing a big carton of ice cream on our laps. “‘s more comfy like this, huh?”
“Yes, this is nice,” I said. “Thank you, Saitama.”
It was comfortable. Sitting there together in our little apartment, with the lights off and a movie playing, it felt snug and intimate. He wrapped his arm more securely around me, as if he felt the need to protect me from some unseen danger. After some time I let my head rest against his shoulder, which was clearly what he wanted because he abandoned the ice cream and wrapped his other arm around me too, keeping me there.
We watched the movies, and they got to me as they always do, and afterwards he gave me a gentle squeeze, wiped at my cheeks with his thumbs, and kissed me.
“You feelin’ a bit better now?” he asked softly.
“A bit,” I murmured. “Thank you for all this...”
“Heh, what are fiances for, huh?”
“Saitama...”
I reached for him, and we made love there amidst the blankets and pillows, and I no longer felt that hollowness. I felt full, full of love for my Saitama, who had done all of this for my sake.
He’s sleeping now, in our messy nest of blankets and pillows on top of the futons. I dozed for a while, but woke an hour later, and now can’t sleep, and a little bit of hollowness has crept back in.
It will get better. The numbness will come next, and eventually it will become just another regret from the past.
I’ll call off the search tomorrow. Mumen Rider and the people he gathered together have kindly been tireless in helping, but everybody has more important things to do.
For now, I’ll return to my Saitama, and watch him sleep. He has the cutest sleeping face, and I’m lucky to be able to remain by his side.
Hi guys, I wonder if u could say "Happy Mother's day" to Hanako from my part :D Also, i hope u 2 having a really good day and to the minibots too💜💝💝❤🤗
Thank you for your message, @themisterhip-san!
Hanako-san is grateful for your mother’s day wishes. Apparently the twins have cooked dinner for her tonight.
Dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets and fries.
She said she feels very lucky. Had we known of their plans, my Saitama and I could have gone over and supervised them in making a more complicated meal...
As it stands, I was asked to go to the lab, and my fiance Saitama came with me.
The minibots presented me with a card. It said ‘Happy Mom’s Day Card, for Mom’ on the front, and was decorated in glitter (courtesy of 06) and written by 01, who the others voted to have the best handwriting. Clover reported that Lucky helped with the wording inside (’To Mom, thank you for being a good mom’). The bots all wrote their own names, and Bug has taken to signing his with a drawing of a little beetle.
I wasn’t expecting that card. My Saitama says my face was “real cute like a confused puppy” when I received it. I hope he enjoyed his time at the lab too--the bots were quick to gather around him and ask for stories!
Thank you for your kind message, @themisterhip-san!
It is difficult to define our real ‘first date’. On several occasions before I confessed, my fiance Saitama and I went out somewhere, and it felt like a date. I didn’t believe that those were dates. I thought it was my own wishful thinking. But as it turned out, my Saitama had been trying to date me. He just hadn’t told me he wanted those outings to be dates...
For example, there was a time before we were together, when we went out for dinner . He didn’t buy the cheapest option on the menu, or bring out any coupons. We both paid for our food. At the time, I thought that made it ‘not a date’, because if we were on a date, I would have insisted upon paying for him. But in hindsight, paying for yourself is a modern way of going on a date, isn’t it? Nobody should expect to go on a date and have everything paid for...
He also wore the nice clothes I’d bought him, so... that was technically one of our first dates, even if I didn’t realise at the time.
He looked so good that time. He looks good all the time, but that time, perhaps because I yearned for him so deeply, he looked particularly incredible...
But I digress
Our first official date was a picnic. We ate in a park, and walked around, and kissed, and then went to the public baths to relax. After a run-in with a monster, my Saitama suggested we got some movies and takeout.
He looked incredible that time, too. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of him, and wanted to kiss him all the time (an urge that I often gave in to). It was good to finally be able to go on a proper date with him! It’s strange to look back at this now, and see how far we’ve come.
Our first date was three years ago... This year, we’re getting married.
Is it too fast? I worry about that sometimes.
But I love my Saitama, and I can’t think of a future without him.
Hm. Perhaps I shouldn’t write about concerns like that here. Not after all we’ve been through. I certainly don’t plan on calling the wedding off or anything. That would be stupid. I want to marry my Saitama. September can’t come fast enough.
Concerns aside, thank you very much for your kind and supportive message.
I’ll pass over to my Saitama now, so he can add just comments regarding our first date.
Hey @themisterhip!
Genos said you wanna know my thoughts ‘bout our ‘first official date’
Which was a picnic and stuff
It was cool
I mean, I’d sorta tried to date him before but
Guess I didn’t make that clear, heh
Was always kinda hard to say stuff outright to him back then
cos he’s hot and cool
Uh
Anyway that date
Yeah
Good food and Genos and relaxing and stuff
Was fun
We kissed lots, heh.
Then we watched movies at home and I dozed off...
‘s not good huh?
But was OK I guess ‘cos when I woke up, he’d fallen asleep too
Was real cute seeing his sleeping face like that
Felt kinda bad though so made breakfast the next morning
Made it feel like an important date, y’know?
Cooking breakfast...
Argh this got long
This was Saitama

((ETA/OOC: wtf it looks like half the ask got eaten? But it looked fine in the queue? Whyyy tumblr...? Or is it just on mobile?? For context, themisterhip asked about their first date and sent best wishes for their wedding))
This is after i read the anon-cat coffee, but have u 2 ever consider in adopting a cat(or dog, idunno) ?🤔
(In response to this post)
Thank you for your message, @themisterhip-san
The problem is, cats don’t like my Saitama. It’s something that neither of us have been able to understand. Whether a regular cat, or a monster cat, they don’t get along with him.
However, we did agree some time ago that at some point in the future, we might adopt a dog.
My Saitama likes cats best, but he says that dogs are cool too, and when he thinks of the future, he thinks about having a dog, and a family.
That would be nice, but it’s still a future thing...
