Genos is not Saitama’s Friend:
Genos is many things to Saitama: his disciple, his coworker, his roomate, his biggest fan, etc. No one... no one... spends more time with Saitama than Genos. There is no one Saitama knows better than Genos. But Genos is not and has never been Saitama's friend, for one simple reason:
Genos fundamentally does not understand Saitama.
Genos knows Saitama is stronger than anyone else he's ever met (true), believes that Saitama is by definition the strongest being in existence (no longer true), and praises him as the highest moral standard and wisest master in history (not true). In essence, he worships Saitama. In other words, he projects his own ideals onto Saitama, rather than actually trying to understand him with an open mind. Had it been Blast who saved Genos from Mosquito Girl, Genos would have viewed him in exactly the same way.
Saitama's core struggle is his search for a "real fight" to satisfy his lack of purpose and boredom. Despite the fact he has had many, many "real fights" over his years of training, but did those satisfy him? Of course not, Saitama never wanted "one real fight" but an infinite supply of "real fights" to satiate his thirst for physical struggle and challange. Making his goal impossible from the moment he started. Becoming the strongest hero was the easy part.... because it was actually possible.
Genos does not, cannot, and will not understand this. Because he can't look past his own narrow mindset and see Saitama for who he is, and what his goals in life are. Saitama has literally told Genos multiple times about his boredom, yet Genos' idealized fantasy view of Saitama never acknowledges that core character trait. Even Dr. Genus and Boros understand it on some level, despite their admiration. And last but not least King, Saitama's only true friend, the one person alive who actually understands his struggle and does not worship him.

Hi I wanted to ask for headcanons for Zombieman, Stinger, Garou, and Iaian sleeping with a s/o that is scared of the dark.
I finally found someone that write for everyone from One Punch Man and I need to something for my favorite secondary characters (I would have asked for Siryu and Charanco but 6 characters are too much I think) anyway thank you in advance, muchisisimas gracias 😙
-🌱🫖
ϟ Various characters+ Headcanons + ONE PUNCH MAN
Hi, oh, good that you asked. I hope you like them. Forgive the delay. You can order anything you want, my tray is always open ♡
➝Character: Zombieman, Garou, Stinger, Laian, Suiryu and Charanko.
➝ Warning: fluff, gender neutral, love, mild violence, misspellings, fear of the dark
➝ Idiom: English
➝ Words: ???
✦ IMPORTANT: I don't speak English, only half; I use a translator, if some words are misspelled, I'm sorry.
ϟ Zombieman:
⌗ At first he would be surprised to hear that about you, he thinks that these are things that are said on the first date, but that doesn't bother him, the truth is, he didn't care about that fear you had.
⌗ But he was surprised that you confessed it to him, since he never thought you had that fear.
⌗ Although he had to admit that he would check if that fear is real, so when both of them were alone, before sleeping. He would turn off all the lights making you scream and yell at him to turn all the lights back on.
⌗ Which he did immediately, when he heard you complain. Before sleeping with you, he would finish smoking his cigarette, thinking about what he did and how it affected you.
⌗ You would be mad at him for doing that. To which he apologized, hugging you tightly, whispering in your ear that he wouldn't do it again.
ϟ Stinger:
⌗ He would be attentive to what you said to him, he could be someone quite loud and energetic. But when it came to you, he gave you his full attention and was much calmer than usual.
⌗ Unlike Zombieman, he wouldn't try to show that fear, he wouldn't have doubts about you. I would believe you instantly.
⌗ But be careful, this young man, he hears that someone is making fun of you, because of your fear of the dark. You will have problems and many problems.
⌗ I would buy you a small lamp, you plug it in and it will shine all night. He wants to make a good impression on you. Though he had to admit the light was annoying, it kept him from sleeping.
⌗But seeing you resting, he couldn't help but smile. You went first, in the end he ended up sleeping with a pillow on him.
ϟ Garou:
⌗ At first he didn't pay attention to what you said to him. I would just say "yes, of course". He's busier reading the hero manual.
⌗ It was until they both went for a walk together one night, they were both very happy. But unfortunately there was a blackout. Leaving everything in the dark.
⌗ At that moment, you clung to Garou as much as you could, holding his hand tightly, your breathing was becoming heavy. Of course he realized all that, it was that he immediately remembered when you told him about your fear of the dark.
⌗ It didn't take long for the light to come back and things finally calmed down. But I could sense that you were still upset. He felt bad for not paying attention to you, when you told him something of great importance to you.
⌗ When they finished their walk, and returned to their house, preparing to sleep. He stared at the bathroom light, I left it on so you wouldn't be afraid of anything.
⌗ He snuggled close to you, looking at your back and kissing the back of your neck.
ϟ Laian:
⌗ Disciple of the atomic samurai, he will certainly listen to everything you have to say. Even your dark secrets. He wouldn't miss any of the things you told him.
⌗ He may show a disinterested face when you tell him about it, but that would certainly not be the case. In his interior he would be thinking of the thousand ways in which he could help you overcome that fear or carry it.
⌗ I would have patience and absolute understanding with you.
⌗ When the two of you are in the room together, I would leave a lit candle on the bedside table. I didn't want you to be scared, so I would do my best to keep you as calm as possible.
⌗ But you would tell him that it is not necessary to put a candle, it would already be dangerous. Which would force him to install small lights throughout the house and obviously in his room.
⌗ He would fall asleep after you, he would wait for you to fall into the arms of Morpheus to make sure there were no problems.
ϟ Suiryu:
⌗ When you told him that you were afraid of the dark, he would think that was very sweet of you, as well as childish. But he would still take the matter seriously.
⌗ Although he seems quite carefree, he really is. He would be worried about you, he is someone with a lot of money, so he would have lights on all over his house. Of course trying not to be so bright as to let him sleep.
⌗ He always told you not to be afraid, that he was there for you and protected you. He is a martial artist after all, so you shouldn't have to worry about anything.
⌗ They slept with the door open, so that the light came in and illuminated the room, that made you feel safer.
⌗ I would tell you about your fear, maybe that way I would help you even a little.
⌗ Maybe he wouldn't hug you a lot when sleeping, it's not because he's not affectionate, but because he moves a lot when he's sleeping. But I would be attentive to your needs.
ϟ Charanko:
⌗ Charanko is a dough, without a doubt she would be the one who cares about you the most. I would treat you like a little child.
⌗ I would ask Silver Fang if he had any knowledge on the subject and if he could help him. Which Bang simply shook his head and advised him to investigate, as well as offer you his full understanding.
⌗ It would be reported as you have no idea. Damn it's so cute with you.
⌗ It would prevent you from seeing things that are scary, such as horror movies and stories of that style. Nothing to see scary things, no sir.
⌗ I would buy many little lights, to put on. That way you would be safe and you would feel good or at least that's what I thought.
⌗ I would give you lots of little kisses before going to sleep, while telling you that if something happened, don't hesitate to wake him up, as he loves you very much and wants you to be well in all areas.
