A few days had passed, you weren't exactly sure what had happened and Saitama was growing much more nervous. His shaky state was annoying and you didn't want to be cooped up at home the whole time- you might as well stock up on period pain medicine and toiletries.

"Saitama, get dressed we're going into the city." You announced throughout the room. The place was quiet and you didn't particularly know where the bald hero was but it was certain he heard you. Unless he was somehow so agitated that he fell asleep- though he didn't.

"Eh? Uh- Okay, hurry up (Y/N)!" He grew excited, leaping up like a puppy who was eagerly waiting to go for a walk to the park except you were already ready, slipping on your shoes while Saitama was in his pyjamas as he already began stripping half-way towards his bedroom to get into his hero outfit.

You clicked your tongue against your teeth, waiting at the front door with keys, phone and wallet in your small bag as Saitama dashed straight past you a few seconds later, waiting outside the door with wide eyes. You stared, calmly walking through the door to lock it and sighed when you felt him hastily grab your hand as he wasted no time to get you both into the city to find some kind of trouble he could solve and save his hero status.

You both ended up in the lively part of the city, the street that contained malls, food courts and a majority of the traffic passing through. The yellow-dressed hero stopped in the middle of the road, cringing and biting his gloved nails at the sight of happy smiles and no bad behaviour whatsoever, "I'm gonna lose my registration!"

You sighed, turning to your best friend who stopped on the road and you almost laughed at his dishevelled state; sweating, shaky legs and wide, worried eyes. You almost felt bad too, except for the fact that he was literally freaking out about a title when he himself was already a hero before knowing what the registry was, "Sai, You don't need the title to be a hero, you already are to me."

Okay, that wasn't supposed to be said like that. You felt embarrassed but you didn't at the same time because it was the truth. Saitama was quiet, too quiet as he was frozen. You turned back to the front of you, hair whipping your face as a pink hue covered it. You opened your mouth to speak, wanting to hear his thoughts or at least something from him but the second you turned towards him, a flash of red appeared right before your eyes.

You squealed in surprise, shock written across your facial features when your eyes adjusted to see it was actually Saitama's glove and held within his fingers was a black, small and sharp Chinese ring dagger which was pointed straight to the middle of your eyes, "I know tha-"

"Saitama, I've finally found you." The man spoke, he was dressed in casual, loose pants and an oversized jumper. Black and purple were his colours and you didn't even need to see his face that was hidden behind his black bangs to recognise his sultry and sly voice, "I see you also brought your arm candy."

Your brows furrowed when you began to feel uncomfortable again when in the presence of Sonic. You only saw the side of Saitama's face when he turned towards the assassin and you noticed his tense posture, Saitama puffed out his chest which you guessed was unintentional because you knew he wouldn't do that as some sort of intimidation strategy, "Oh who are you? That's right uhh..-"

He pointed at the ninja as if a light bulb was lit up above his head, "Seed-on-the-Ground?.. No that's no it.."

You stifled a giggle when Sonic's face struck into one of shock, earning a side-glance from Saitama who had an upturn of his lips at the sound you made, "Was it uh.. Lost-and-Found? Uh... Oh! Jack-o-Lantern Panic!"

"More like perv-o-creep Sonic"

You couldn't hold it in, laughing out so hard you had to hunch over, palm placed over your mouth to stifle the sound in front of the smaller man who looked like he was ready to kill. Saitama turned sideways so he could see both Sonic and yourself and your cachinnate somehow became contagious when a small chuckle left the bald mans mouth when watching you.

"It's Speed-o-Sound Sonic."

He was quick and then silence was all that surrounded you, you were still smiling at the previous mistake Saitama had made purposefully, or not, but either way Saitama was quick to realise that he was now wasting time because of his current predicament, "Anyway I have to go, I'm busy."

You watched Saitama turn to walk away, staring with desperate eyes when you wondered when he would realise he forgot you weren't holding his hand like you usually would be about now. Except he didn't and that left you with the option to follow after him, making sure to be subtle and not attract the attention of the now humiliated ninja, "How dare you walk away from me!"

You saw black disappear from Sonic's previous spot when he was then in the air beside Saitama who had irk marks prominent of his chiselled face. You took notice of a tinge of silver, most likely a weapon and you stood to the side as a small group of people seemed to create a small circle around the two males in the centre of attention.

Saitama bit the sword, with his teeth. A sword. How in the world that happened was beyond your comprehension but it happened, causing the slicing weapon to shatter into smaller pieces when the sword should've initially swiped your best friend's head off.

He looked angry now, his nerves and shakiness had obviously worn off when someone had come to interrupt his top priority mission, "I'm angry now so anyone who get's in my way... Get's punched."

"There he is! That man is dangerous!" You looked beside yourself to see a young girl, around her twenties and pointing at the two boys in the middle of the circle that had grown with more bystanders. You didn't know which person she was actually pointing to but you stood quiet anyway as you thought about which shop sold medication for the cheapest price around here.

"Hey Sonic, she thinks you're a criminal-"

"She mean's you, cue ball."

You overheard a deep voice that belonged to a man of a tall and very buff build. He was towering over the males and people in the crowd began to smile when they recognised him as 'Tank Top Tiger.' His yellow tank top consisted to tiger strips along with his blonde hair and eyebrows. He definitely earned his name then, he continued speaking to Saitama; who was being accused of running through he streets since yesterday with a scary look on his face, about not frightening the people they were meant to protect and such.

"Want to get wild and make me look good?" The man had bent over to get in Saitama's face, smiling maliciously as he urged him to fight to make the Tiger hero look better and get a better reputation, this was ridiculous.

The tiger hero felt a small nudge on his side, his eye brow raising in question to see a small girl, being you, trying to push himself away from the bald hero but failing miserably, "How dare you! This man here is a hero, he saved me countless time! I've done nothing for him to help me, I'm practically a sitting duck but he always saves me! You leave him alone you big phony!"

You screamed, eyes scrunched shut as you pathetically slapped the Tank Top Tiger to get him away from Saitama who stared at you with wide and surprised eyes. He was no longer angry at the people for now he was only shocked when you exposed your feelings only to have Sonic ruin the moment when the ninja grabbed you by the waist, pulling you so fast that you didn't even realise you were a few metres away when the ninja shot exploding shuriken's at his target which was now an unconscious Tank Top Tiger.

Wow, now your face was red when humiliation flooded into your body to rest comfortably inside. You had no reason to say those things when Sonic's original intention was to knock the tiger-themed hero to sleep.
You decided against looking at Saitama who was watching when Sonic disappeared from your side to appear high in the air next to some buildings as he taunted Saitama to fight, "Oi get back here!"

"You have to come get me- Hail of Carnage!"

You screamed when that creepy smile found it's way back onto Sonic's face, dodging the flying explosives that had missed Saitama to collide with neighbouring buildings, detonating in the process, "Go Saitama!" You screamed desperately, people were becoming scared when they began to run from the scene that had turned violent in a matter of seconds.

Saitama looked at you annoyed, he didn't understand why you were condoning this when he had to look for a bad guy to take down to keep his registry with the hero association. You saw a child walking a way as he cried, not taking notice of his surroundings when a burnt up car was sent flying his way. You gasped unconsciously, running on instinct to shield the child from impact when the boy squealed. You looked behind you surprised to find Saitama behind as he carelessly lifted the car away from you while the child ran to safety, "What do you think you're doing? You aren't strong like me, you can't put yourself in danger like that!"

He had exploded, you shrunk when you saw a prominent vein on his forehead which was a clear indication of anger. Your face dropped in distraught and a sigh escaped your lips when you saw Sonic exploding cars and the roads and so you dropped the situation with Saitama when disappointment and sadness filled your system, "Go take down a bad guy Sai.."

"I gotta find one first-" He saw you looking at Sonic, watching your sunken eyes glaze over but he didn't realise why when all he thought of was, "A bad guy."

From one moment to the next, Sonic was a few metres under ground with a dent the size of Saitama's palm on his back, and you were gone.
