- Three Years Earlier -

Walking with Saitama home from his failed job hunting, you both held hands for his comfort as he tiredly dragged his suitcase in his other hand.

"Cheer up Sai, there's still that hero option, aye?" You questioned with a cheeky smile, you knew Saitama was pretty bummed out about not being able to find a job but you were consistently the optimistic one who always managed the cheer the man up.

Saitama turned to you and gave a a small smile- you could see he was just trying to reassure you that he was okay but nevertheless you gave his hand a gentle squeeze that he returned.

You were looking around the quiet alley when Saitama stopped in his tracks- halting you from moving any further. The monster in front of you suddenly made you worried when you saw his sharp claws.

Though you couldn't help but bite your lip to keep in the giggle that threatened to leave your mouth when you saw the black, drawn on nipples on his chest and the huge white underwear as his only source of clothing. The crab monster began to laugh- weirdly - and then talk about how he ate too much crab and turned into half a crab at the top and human at the bottom.

He threatened to kill Saitama- probably not noticing you because of his weird crab eyes and by the way Saitama forcefully pulled you behind him - and Saitama just kept his cool the whole time, honestly not even caring when the crab took a swipe at him.

The huge crab man then for some reason walked away, talking about how Saitama contained lifeless eyes so he spared him. He laughed out, telling us how he was after a 'chinned brat' or something like that and Saitama simply shrugged and kept walking, pulling you with him to head home.

Minutes later you were passing a little basketball court for kids when a strange looking child with the biggest butt chin you had seen, turned to look at you with wide eyes. You tugged on Saitama's sleeve- gaining his attention to see the boy. Saitama's eyes widened when he saw the boy as well and he proceeded to ask him if he messed with a crab man before.

The boy then replied, "He was sleeping in the park, I drew on him."

You chocked out a laugh at his reply, and saw as Saitama muttered to himself, "He's not cute at all.. It isn't any of my concern." And so Saitama continued to drag you with him, tightening his hold on your hand.

You abrubty stopped at the crab mans voice that yelled out, "I Found You!" While his clawed arm zoomed out to the child as a gasp left your mouth when Saitama proceeded to grab the child, jumping and taking him away from his impending death. It was as if Saitama wasn't even thinking of that as he yelled at the child, telling him to run. The child watched his soccer ball get squashed in a traumatised manner while the crab man asked, "Aye! What's the big deal!"

He then swiped his claw out to Saitama who took the hit, earning an involuntary squeal of horror to escape your mouth. You worriedly watched Saitama and the boy, then to the crab man who managed to punch your gut.

Falling to the floor, you couched and chocked on your breath in pain, watching Saitama throw rocks and pebbles at the crabs head, taking his attention away from the little boy who was about to meet his end, but not if Saitama had something to do about it.
You continued to hold your stomach in pain, breathing in and out slowly as Saitama screamed at the deformed crab about how he always wanted to become a hero, and not a stupid business man. While doing so he glanced at you, watching small tears leave your eyes when he untied the tie that was hanging loosely around his neck.

Blood seeped from his forehead and you saw blood sprayed on his black hair too. His suit was ripped and he had lost his blazer along the way. He was limping and dragging himself in pain, getting even more angry at the fact that this disfigured person- turned to crab- had the audacity to strike you in front of him.

The crab man went to hit Saitama again but this time Saitama jumped on his huge wrist, dodging the blow and climbing up his arm, hooking his tie around his eye and managing to pull the eye out of the red eye socket- spilling all of his guts and blood all over the floor.

Saitama limped to you, panting deeply as he pulled you up and placing your arm around his neck- walking away from the dead monster and the traumatised child.

- Now -

Standing in the grocery store with Saitama; who was wearing his hero suit, you watched as he held some crab, looking at the package and proceeding to put it in the basket you held with him. You followed him to the register, handing him 500 yen from your pocket while he looked in his wallet for the remaining 82 yen for the crab that cost 482 yen.

Suddenly the lights began flickering as the ground began to shake. Civilians screamed and ran already knowing that there was a new monster outside that had come to kill innocent people for some stupid and totally ordinary reason.

Saitama continued to mess through his wallet that was full of coins and buttons..? Wiithout even noticing that we were now alone in the store. You sighed to yourself, scratching your forehead in annoyance and proceeding to grab the crab while you looked to Saitama who watched you with questioning eyes.

"Sai, take care of that- I'm going to make dinner." You answered, waving the crab in the air to gesture your dinner you were going to make for the both of you. Saitama looked at you and then at the roof that was suddenly ripped off of the building.

"Oh.."

Walking home, you noticed a lot of yelling and punches being thrown. A giant man who seemed like he was on steroids and also had no pants on was brutally punching the ground in anger and agony. And suddenly second later he had been punched by a tiny speck of a man compared to him. You watched Saitama as you kept walking, watching him come down to the surface when the giant fell back, taking his last breath and crashing on neighbouring buildings.

City B Destroyed.
