Been thinking of an au idea because all day I've been wanting to sing but couldn't cuz of classes. The AU can basically be summarized as "Saitama: Hero by day, Singer by night"

He has his heroing hobby—he loves it, even if it's not as fun as it used to be. But sometimes, when he comes home to his monster-infested, abandoned little neighborhood on the outskirts of Z City, it's too quiet. Desolate. He likes the silence, the lack of cars and people and crimes and noise. But late at night, when the streets are dark and only every other street lamp is on, he feels like he's just sitting in a void. And he fears that void will consume him someday.

Also, the empty streets give a sligh echo and it sounds nice. So, at night, he just sits on the ledge of his balcony and sings. Sometimes it's old songs he wrote back in high school, sometimes it's covers. Sometimes it's a capella, sometimes he grabs his 6-year old guitar and plays along.

In the quiet, hidden away behind wreckage and isolated buildings, monsters come out to listen. Some out of curiosity, some because they like his voice (although he doesn't get why). He doesn't mind them cuz they don't do anything—just hide away during the day, and listen to him during the night.

One day, Genos learns of a monster-infested town on the edge of Z-City. As a bringer of justice and protector of the people (not officially), he goes there. He hopes to find traces of the Mad Cyborg in such a place. He walks for hours through the streets, watching as they go from brightly lit to dark, impossible to navigate through if he hadn't had the ability to see in the dark (and the occasional street lamps). Watches as shopping districts become broken down or abandoned homes and once-quaint shops. Eventually, he starts to hear a voice. He hears singing.

Of course, his immediate thought is that it might be a monster. Some kind of monster that uses singing as a weapon, maybe?

So he takes care to approach the source slowly, slow and quiet and cautious. In the corner of his eyes he sees creatures skittering, more and more of them showing and disappearing the closer he gets. He knows most, if not all of them are not normal animals, but his priority is the being making music. He has a passing thought that it might be having an influence on him, because as it continues, he begins to thinks of how beautiful it sounds.

When he reaches the source, hiding behind another apartment building wall, he sees that it's not a monster, but a man. A bald man, sitting up on a balcony and singing into the empty streets solemnly. He looks saddened, but his voice, easily carried into the night, projects evenly—perfectly.

The curiosity sparked from such an odd sight makes him step out and call to him.

#i was also thinking of them eventually becoming friends #the playful kind that jokingly flirt with one another #and they have a scene or a moment when Genos comes to see him late at night again and Saitama—when he sees him—makes a joke about how #it's usually the person on the street serenading the person on the balcony #which prompts a scene where Genos sings to him. his voice is that perfect kind of low. the kind that doesn't over do it but it compliments #any other key wonderfully #and saitama makes the comment of 'I can't tell if you were courting me or seducing me with that'. but he says it with a smile thats just a #little too teasing. a little too affectionate and with far too many hidden implications under it for Genos to process #and then he invites him up into his apartment #one punch man #opm #saitama #genos #saigenos #genosai #opm au #one punch man au #au
