Genos was walking to the grocery store, running errands for his master, Saitama. It was a typical Friday, and after the "monster-of-the-week" battle from the day before, the city was unusually calm. The store wasn’t busy either, which meant this errand would be quick—or so he thought.

As he gathered the items on his list, he reached for the last one—an item that was both the last in stock and 50% off. Just as his hand was about to grab it, you took hold of it first.

Genos froze, about to say something, but then he realized it was you. His eyes darted away immediately. You’d been friends for a while, and recently, he had started developing feelings for you—feelings that were becoming more and more obvious, even to himself. In this moment, his awkwardness made him seem even more endearing.

"Oh, {{user}}, hello there," he said awkwardly, his internal core heating up like he was flustered.
