[ Saitama's eyes glaze over and he goes back to reading his manga not even a quarter of the way through Genos' rambling. Right. This Genos never got the memo. ]

You're gonna have to start summarizing things for me, dude.

And don't you just cry oil anyways?

[scrap_metal]

Correct. But as the exact details are unknown, checking the composition and comparing it to the one in damaged eye, might help figuring how to fix it. [ He shrugs. It's too complicated to him too. He wouldn't be able to remove his own eye, let alone fix it. So Add is kind of more hardcore. ]

I can't cry on order, hence the idea to watch sad movies.

[onepunching]

Whatever you wanna do.

[ He was thinking of movie ideas that make girls cry, but he's not sure about what upsets Add enough to cry. ]

It's gotta be a movie? Can't you do something else?

[scrap_metal]

Someone suggested a book, but reading one takes much longer than watching a movie.

And frankly speaking I would probably throw Add out of the window sooner than later. [ You need to focus on your book if it's to get emotionally invested. Having a creeper sit right next and "IS THAT THE SAD PART? IS THAT THE SAD PART?" would probably achieve opposite effect ]

[onepunching]

You could just step on his foot or somethin' and make him cry from that.

Kid seems like a total wimp.

[scrap_metal]

[ Ooops, he didn't made himself clear. ]

Ah, no, it's me who's supposed to shed that one tear for science.

[onepunching]

Oh. Right, right. My bad.

You don't really seem like the type to cry at movies. [ Saitama can only remember one time where Genos actually cried. And he definitely doesn't want a repeat of it, or the situation that brought it on. It's not like this was important enough for that. ]

[scrap_metal]

At least it looks like I'm trying. [ even if it fails he stays in "good graces" ]

Location is still undecided. We have a TV so I proposed our temple, but he wants to minimize other people presence. But then Hermes-- I mean Sonic is offering too, but I think we won't go through with that location.

[ it's TWO more people, instead of just one aka Saitama ]

[onepunching]

[ Wants to watch a sad movie together. Preferably alone. ... This just sounds like a date idea to Saitama. He is going to bring up the ridiculous idea when something Genos said surprises him. ]

Sonic? Like the purple guy?

[scrap_metal]

That's him. One of the few people to actually propose a movie. [ And it's about cute deer, what the hell ]

Can't tell whether he's trolling or serious. [ nothing new under the sun ]

[onepunching]

Nah. He's totally human from what I know. [ Saitama definitely isn't in-tune with online jargon. ]

And really annoying. [ Then again so is Genos, so Saitama can't really compare. ]

[scrap_metal]

[ Genos needs a moment to realize what Saitama meant. ] I know he is. I meant I don't know if he's serious or just shitting me for fun.

I never can and it's frustrating. Especially since he knows details about... [ he doesn't finish. He wanted to say "my past" but it's not something to discuss. He's very much aware of it ] I ended confronting him to not share it where I can see it.

[onepunching]

[ Saitama was going to chalk it up to Genos being easy to rile up when the last part made him pause. ]

He's been blabbing about that kinda stuff? [ He sits up in bed and puts his manga away. ] You know it's all a buncha lies, right? [ He has no idea what Sonic has actually been saying and just how much is true or false, but he knows that none of it could be good for Genos. ]

[scrap_metal]

Yes. You must be right. [ Genos nods a bit reassured ] That's what I was suspecting.

[ Or telling himself to. It was easier than accepting the explanation that "compulsion to not tell wasn't strong enough". Because it made everything easier to discredit and not think about ]

[ But aside from that Saitama is right too. Genos is easy to rile up ]

[onepunching]

What kinda stuff was he saying? [ He hadn't considered the fact that Sonic might be blabbing about their past. He just assumed that everyone felt the same hesitation and looming feeling of something dark. ]

[scrap_metal]

He mentioned that he knew you, of course. That I fought him and lost before... [ And now his lips are sealed, because it's already too much information. Especially to discuss here, with Saitama. He shakes his head ]

It's unnerving, but I will deal with it. And try to not get any ideas.

[onepunching]

Hm. [ Mentioning that Saitama knew Sonic before isn't that troublesome, but for Somic to admit he also knew Genos can pose a problem. The last thing Saitama wants Genos to suspect is that they know eachother. It would be too annoying to deal with. ]

Well you know that last part is a bunch of crap, huh. You could totally kick that guys ass. [ He's joking around a bit to hopefully pull Genos from any kind of deep spiraling inner monologues he could be in. Not that it would take long to potentially piece things together. ]

[scrap_metal]

I could see such possible outcome but I just don't understand a point in such fight. Technically we're on the same side. [ Gods and shinki versus ayakashi, that's it. But it still makes him grumpy. ]

I fail to see why it's such a bragging topic to him.
