(Y/N) never really asked to be the way she was. She never asked to be a monster, and she never asked to be chased out into the streets. Yet there she was.
The young lady was in her college dorm room at the time. She was simply on her computer with her pet spider, Nina, crawling around her desk beside her. In fact, little Nina there was the entire reason (Y/N) was on her laptop in the first place.
She had been trying to find exactly what kind of spider Nina was. She had never seen any other spider like this before, and was quite curious to see if she had found some endangered species of spider casually crawling around her college dorm.
Her research came to a halt, however, when she felt a sting on her wrist. "Ouch!" she exclaimed, instantly pulling her arm back. Looking down, she saw Nina looming over a little spider bite.
"Nina! What the heck?!" she exclaimed, immediately shooing her little pet off her arm and standing up, cursing to herself as she searched for an ice pack as well as her phone to call for help. "Dammit... Did-did she inject venom...?" she mumbled, now beginning to slightly panic as she felt the bite mark seemingly grew hotter and hotter.
She hissed in pain and grabbed her wrist as the pain grew more and more unbearable. "Dammit... I bet she did...!" She began to grow more frantic as she threw items around, desperate to find her phone at this point.
"Dammit, dammit, dammit...!" She gripped her head. The room began spinning as she stumbled about, no longer able to tell her left from her right and her up from her down and her forward to her backward, until finally, everything went black.
She had awoken to a scream. Jumping up, she looked around. However, she felt a bit... off... She looked over to her dorm room door and saw one of her friends standing there, snacks and games littering the floor around her as she stared at (Y/N) with fearful eyes.
Eyes... eyes? Why did her eyes feel weird? She brought her hands up to her face. There, she felt her two eyes. And then two more above them... and one more on her forehead...
She screamed, putting her hands up to her mouth. But... her hands were over her top three eyes? She had another pair of arms... Five eyes, four arms- what the hell did that spider do to her?!
"Kira!" (Y/N) exclaimed, reaching out for the girl, "What- what happened to me?! Why am I like this?!"
"S-stay away from me!" Kira shrieked, bolting away screaming. (Y/N) didn't know what to do. What was she supposed to do?! Chase after her? Run off? Stay in her room?
Well, apparently that question had answered itself, as two people ran over to (Y/N)'s room to check out what had her little friend run off screaming like that.
Both people screamed. "Monster!" they both yelled, one of them instantly bringing out their phone. Nope. (Y/N) didn't feel like being detained and/or dying today. She jumped right out the window.
'I'm fucked I'm fucked I'm fucKED I'M FUCKED I'M SO FUCKED!' (Y/N) thought to herself as she landed in the bushes. She immediately ran off, not daring to look back at the several security guards chasing her down.
Quite a while had passed. How long? She wasn't sure. (Y/N) mainly lived in the shadows, such as in alleyways or sometimes the forest. She mainly relied on stealing food from people's grocery bags when they were distracted, or sometimes just eating whatever she could catch in her webs.
Speaking of which, she had become a bit more used to her new form as time went on. She was able to create her own webs by examining how other spiders made theirs, little spiders she would occasionally find crawling around were good company, and she was slowly getting used to being sideways and upside down.
She had managed to keep herself hidden for quite a long time. She stuck to the shadows, only taking what she needed, and everything was fine. Until it suddenly wasn't.
It was a winter night. (Y/N) was shivering in an alleyway as she tried to cover herself with an oversized jacket she had found abandoned on a park bench.
Even through her chattering teeth, she managed to hear footsteps coming her way. Looking up with her five (E/C) eyes, she saw bald a young man in what appeared to be a hero suit walking up to her.
'So this is how I die, huh...?' she thought to herself. "P-please..." she quietly mumbled, "Don't-don't kill me... J-just leave me alone... please..."
The young man couldn't help but feel his heart shatter. For so long, he had felt so... empty. All his emotions had left him. And yet... somehow, this monster- no, he shouldn't call her that- this girl managed to make him... feel.
He crouched down in front of her, pushing aside a few stray pieces of (H/C) hair. She was as cold as ice, and she was shivering so much... How could this girl manage to fill his once empty heart? He was suddenly filled with... desire. Desire to comfort, desire to protect, desire to—!
"Hey," the man said, finally snapping himself out of his own thoughts. "I'm not going to kill you."
(Y/N) looked up, eyes widened in shock. He wasn't? "You're not...?" she quietly questioned. "But- I'm- You're-!" she sputtered, although was silenced when the young man gently grabbed her and hoisted her to her feet.
"You must be freezing," he said, keeping her from stumbling on her feet by allowing her to lean against him, "Come. I'll get you warmed up."
He was a bit shocked when she trusted him so easily, yet at the same time relieved. When he arrived home, he gave her warm clothing and wrapped her up in blankets. He couldn't remember the last time he had been this gentle with anyone.
As he served her warm food, she quietly thanked him, using her bottom pair of arms to eat while using her top pair to keep the blanket snug around her. As she ate, the two talked. Talked about their lives, about their backstories, abilities, hobbies, food preferences, anything that came to mind. It all just felt so... right.
"Hey, uhm, by the way..." the (H/C)ette said, her arms retreating back into the blanket as she had just finished her food, "...my name's (Y/N)."
A smile graced her lips. A toothy, adorable smile. It almost made the young man smile himself. In fact, he even felt the corners of his mouth twitch upward a bit.
With that, the young man replied, "Saitama."
The man slammed his hand on his alarm clock, awakening with a yawn. Heading to the kitchen, he was shocked to see the young woman from last night with a little apron on, pacing around his kitchen and preparing breakfast. He almost forgot he had let her stay the night. It felt almost like a dream.
"Hm? Oh, hey Saitama!" she said as soon as she noticed the man staring at her, "Sorry if I made a bit of a mess, it's been a while since I've last cooked anything... but I wanted to repay you for letting me stay with you! I promise, I won't forget what you did for me, and once I fully repay you, I'll take my leave and-"
"Stay," Saitama immediately said. (Y/N) stared at him in shock. He... wanted her to stay?
There it was again... that feeling in his heart. Desire. The desire to hold her, the desire to keep her... Why was he having these thoughts?
"You can stay," Saitama said, "I know you must not have anywhere to go. Plus, if anyone finds you, they'll either kill you or contact the authorities. It'll be safer if you stay."
You know what? Maybe this was fine.
And that was how it happened. As time went on, the bond between the two slowly grew. (Y/N) made a hammock beside Saitama's bed with her silk, Saitama would provide her with shelter and food, and (Y/N) would provide him with good cooking and the occasional training partner. She also provided this warm feeling in his heart, but she didn't know that.
Anyways! (Y/N) had eventually grown quite fond of her new form with Saitama's support and kind words. It got to the point where she would occasionally go out with Saitama to get groceries- all she had to do was wrap her bottom arms around her waist and wear a baggy jacket, and then keep her top three eyes covered with a visor, sports headband, her hair, etc.- and sometimes even go out to fight other monsters, much to Saitama's dismay.
So, things were going quite well for the both of them! Let's see how long that lasts, shall we?
