Love is like a Blizzard

Chapter 18 – Blizzard

One Month Later…

It was a surprisingly peaceful day in Z-City, and as Saitama took note of the beautiful sunny sky, he prepared to head out. Naturally, Genos was monitoring his every move.

"Are you going somewhere, Sensei?" he asked.

"Yeah," Saitama replied. "I'm going to go spend the day with Fubuki."

"Ah, I see," said the cyborg with a nod.

Over the past month, both Saitama and Fubuki had been spending more and more time together, probably due to the fact that they were becoming more and more interested in one another. It wouldn't be a lie to say that the two of them were basically a couple now.

"What are you two going to be doing today?" Genos suddenly decided to question further.

In response, Saitama just shrugged. "I don't know, maybe we'll do some training or go look for some action…"

Or maybe we'll just spend some time alone together he thought with a small smile.

Genos just stared at him for a moment. "Okay then. Enjoy yourselves, whatever you do."

"Thanks," said Saitama as he walked towards the door. "See ya."

Genos just gave a small wave goodbye before looking back down at the notebook he had been working on. He then gave a small smile to himself.

"I guess there really are women out there who are interested in baldies…"

A little while later, Saitama had met up with Fubuki, and they were now hanging out in their favorite spot to be alone. They were sitting on the bench on top of Fubuki's balcony, looking up at the clear sky and watching the city. They gently held hands in-between them.

"It sure is a beautiful day out," Fubuki noted as she looked up.

Saitama just looked at her for a second. He then gave a small laugh. "Heheh, since when do you take the time to appreciate your surroundings?"

Fubuki just glanced at him with a frown. "I don't know…Is that a bad thing?"

"Well no," he told her. "It's just that…well, I don't think the old Fubuki would have ever noticed something like a 'nice day'."

Fubuki smiled a little. "I guess I've changed since then…Is that a problem?"

"No, I like it," he said, squeezing her hand a little. "It really is a beautiful day though, are you sure that this is how you want to spend it?"

In response, Fubuki just leaned in closer and snuggled up against him, her head resting on his shoulder.

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

Saitama just smiled down at her. "You became a lot more affectionate too."

Fubuki grinned. "So what?" she asked slyly.

Saitama simply continued smiling. "So nothing."

As they sat there in comfortable silence, Saitama started to wonder how someone like him could have been so lucky to get someone as beautiful, smart, and surprisingly kind as Fubuki. Sometimes he felt like he didn't deserve her. Other times he was just happy to have her.

Fubuki generally felt the same way about him. While she didn't really feel lucky to have started a relationship with the bald man, she was still nothing short of thankful and appreciative. Saitama was a strong and capable hero, and he had helped her out so much in just the short time they had known each other. And she honestly loved him for that.

Just then, a sudden noise caught their attention. It was the sound of the doorbell being rung at the front of Blizzard Headquarters. Saitama and Fubuki simply glanced back inside the building behind them.

"Someone's here," stated Saitama.

"I better go get it," said Fubuki, slowly standing up. The Blizzard Group was currently out and about today, scouting for monster activity. Thanks to this, Saitama and Fubuki were allowed to have the place to themselves for the afternoon.

"All right then," said Saitama. "I'll be waiting here."

Fubuki just smiled before walking away. She then made her way downstairs before approaching the front door and opening it. And there, to her surprise, stood…

"Sis?" said Fubuki, taken aback.

Tatsumaki just stared at her younger sister for a moment. "Hey," she said bluntly.

"Were you the one who just rang the doorbell?" asked Fubuki with wide eyes. "Usually you just slam the door open and come right in."

Tatsumaki looked away with a frown. "Yeah, well…I'm not really in a rush today…"

"Oh, I see," said Fubuki, not really sure what was going on. "So…what brings you here?"

Tatsumaki looked up again. "I was just…you know, coming by to check on you. Making sure that you're doing okay, and all…"

Fubuki didn't really know what to say to this. "You…you are?"

"Yeah, is that a problem?" the girl demanded.

Fubuki just stared at her sister, completely lost. It wasn't the first time that Tatsumaki had come to check on her before, but Fubuki had never seen her be so calm about it like she was right now.

"It's not a problem," said Fubuki honestly. "I'm doing just fine, thanks."

"I see," said Tatsumaki with a straight face.

Fubuki stared at her for another moment. "Um, do you want to come inside? I was just spending some time with Saitama upstairs...You're more than welcome to join us if you want. I'm sure we could all find something to do together."

Tatsumaki eye's widened upon hearing this. "Wait, he's here?"

Fubuki nodded. "Yes…"

Tatsumaki just stood there in silence for a moment, her teeth slightly clenched.

Fubuki continued to stare at her. She had never seen her sister act so bizarre. "That's not a problem, is it?"

Tatsumaki soon shook her head. "No, it's fine. I actually…have some other stuff that I have to do today. Being the number 2 S-Class hero isn't easy."

"Right," said Fubuki slowly. "You know, Saitama's not going to bite you or anything…"

Tatsumaki's mouth fell open as she took a step back. "What?"

"I'm sorry," said Fubuki, smiling a little. "It's just that, well, if I didn't know any better, I would almost think that you were scared of-"

"Of course not!" Tatsumaki screamed, suddenly flaring up to become her natural self. "Don't make assumptions, Sis! I just hate the guy, remember!?"

"Right," said Fubuki with a nod. "Well, if you ever change your mind, you're more than welcome to spend some time with us…"

Tatsumaki just crossed her arms and pouted. "Like I'd ever want to do a thing like that."

"You should get to know Saitama better," Fubuki suggested. "You'd probably like him once you get to know him."

"I doubt it," said Tatsumaki firmly. "But whatever, I'm not really here to interfere. So long as he makes you happy, that's all that matters."

Just then, Tatsumaki turned around and started floating away.

"You leaving, Sis?" asked Fubuki as she took a step outside.

"Yeah, I'm busy, remember?" Tatsumaki responded bluntly.

Fubuki lightly smiled. "Right, well I'll see you around then."

"Whatever," came her sister's reply.

And with that, the tiny esper flew off into the sky, and disappeared from sight. Fubuki then continued smiling to herself as she reentered the building and gently closed the door behind her.

"Your sister was here?" asked Saitama after Fubuki had come back to the balcony.

"Yeah, she was just stopping by," said Fubuki as she sat back down next to the baldy. "She left almost immediately after I mentioned that you were here."

"Really?" asked Saitama. "Huh, I guess she just still doesn't like me…"

"Yeah," said Fubuki with a smirk. "Something like that…"

"So, what did she want?"

Fubuki looked up to the sky. "I'm not too sure. She claimed that she was just checking up on me, making sure I'm doing okay and all…"

"Huh," said Saitama, also looking up to the sky. "Maybe she's been worried about you."

Fubuki smiled. "Maybe," she replied thoughtfully. "But then again, it's not like there's anything to be worried about."

"I suppose not," Saitama agreed. "Your training has really paid off for you."

"Right," said Fubuki with a nod. "I haven't had any trouble fighting monsters lately. I guess I really have gotten stronger since we started training."

"Yeah, and I guess this means that you're really glad you listened to my advice," said Saitama with a hint of arrogance in his tone. "Now I think you've finally figured out how to survive on your own."

Fubuki smiled again as she continued gazing up at the sky. Survive on my own, huh?

"Actually, Saitama, I've thought about it, and I don't think that I want to survive on my own…"

Saitama gave her a confused look. "What? You don't?"

"No," said Fubuki, softly shaking her head. "I'd much rather be together with you, instead…"

Saitama paused for a second as he realized what she was trying to tell him. He then smiled at her. She looked over at him and did the same.

"I love you," she said bravely.

Saitama just stared at her for a moment. "I love you too…"

"Do you really mean that?" asked Fubuki softly.

"Of course," Saitama replied.

"Then come a little closer," she taunted him.

Saitama fell for it like a complete sucker. "Anything you want."

Before long, the couple had leaned in, and softly planted their lips together. They pressed them against each other for a few seconds before slowly pulling away.

"How was that?" asked Saitama with a grin.

"Perfection," she replied.

"Should we do it again?" he asked, almost sounding a little too eager.

Fubuki just smirked. "Well, if you insist, baldy."

Saitama soon frowned. "Hey, no name-calling," he told her.

Fubuki reached up and gently rubbed the top of his dome. "Aw, but I like your bald head, remember?"

Saitama found himself feeling an odd sense of pleasure when she did that. "On second thought, baldy is fine."

Sure enough, the couple soon found themselves kissing once again, this time for a little bit longer. They eventually backed away.

"You know, Saitama," Fubuki began, "there's something I think I've come to realize over the past few months with you."

"And what's that?" he asked curiously.

"Love," she said simply, "is like a blizzard."

Saitama stared at her for a moment, feeling completely lost. "Huh?"

"You know, a blizzard," Fubuki explained. "It's the same as love, in a way."

"How so?"

"Well, sometimes it can be tough and complicated, and it can spring up out of nowhere. Sometimes you might feel like you're in a whirlwind with all of your emotions flying around you. But at the same time, it can feel nice, and can even be pretty to look at. It sort of, you know, has its upsides to it…"

Fubuki paused for a moment. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Um, I guess so…" said Saitama, still a little lost. "What made you think to compare love to a blizzard?"

"Well, it is kind of my trademark title," she said as she rolled her eyes.

"Oh yeah?" asked Saitama. "So what, are you going to change your name to the 'Blizzard of Love' now?"

"Of course not," said Fubuki as she shook her head. "How could I strike fear into the hearts of my enemies with a name like that?"

"Is that important?" asked a doubtful Saitama.

"Yes."

"But you don't have any enemies."

Fubuki just gave a sigh. "Sheesh, and to think that I had once assumed you to be a simplistic man. Why do you have to make everything so complicated?"

"Hey, you're the one making weird comparisons," Saitama pointed out.

"Is it really that weird?" asked Fubuki, frowning.

Saitama just shrugged before smiling and grabbing her hand. He playfully squeezed it for a second before reaching up and gently stroking her cheek.

"Love is like a blizzard, huh?" he whispered. "I guess I could see it…"

Fubuki grinned at this as she reached up and held his hand with her own. She then looked into his eyes. He looked back.

Both of them already knew what was coming next. Leaning in once more, the couple came closer together and locked lips, silently celebrating the beginning of their happy new relationship. In this moment, there were no monster attacks, no cyborg disciples, no needy subordinates, no distracting video games, no cranky old men, no ninja rivals, and no controlling older sisters.

It was only them, and the love they shared between them. And it was perfect.

LOVE IS LIKE A BLIZZARD END

And thus, this story was brought to a close. You'll have to forgive me for keeping this chapter short, but it's only supposed to be an Epilogue of sorts. It's honestly just here to conclude the story XD By the way, as I'm sure you noticed, I worked the title of the story into the chapter in order to give it some kind of meaningful context! Even though it was completely unnecessary! I guess it's just my way of saying goodbye to the title that we've all come to know and love :)

I hope I've left you all feeling mostly satisfied, especially the people that didn't think I would finish this story XD But hey, I did it! I actually finished! And of course, I couldn't have done it without you guys! A HUGE thank you to all those who followed, favorited, and reviewed! You've all made this story so much more popular than I ever hoped it would be, and I am truly grateful. You've stuck with me through break after break and you always came back for more. I appreciate you all so much! Thank you! :D

So…I guess the next question is: What comes next? Well, I think I plan on going back through this story and fixing all the spelling and grammatical errors that I find. After that, I'll get back to writing new fanfiction stories. Truth be told, I'm probably done writing anything One Punch Man related. This community sure was fun while it lasted though. But I don't really have any ideas right now, so it's time to move on.

Well then, I guess this is the last goodbye. If you ever feel like it, go ahead and check out my other stories, all right? I'm sure you'd enjoy them :) Anyways, I think that's all I have to say here. Please stay awesome ;)

THANK YOU AND GOODBYE!
