THE RISING OF HEROES

Chapter 3: Something special - Part 1

A/N: Hey guys I'm back with Chapter 3, whoop whoop😁😄 Anyway, let's get straight to it🤭Enjoy🌠

It has been a month and a half since our couple started dating and it has been in their perspective amazing. Hiro, who was worried at how things would change, was now comfortable in this new phase two of his favourite people had stepped into. He was particularly enjoying two things, first was a game the three of them began playing the day of its release which was soon after the college meet. They were excited about the game for a while and had pre-registered when the option was available months before. The graphics and gameplay drew the three, Clara was especially interested in the storyline. They were online almost every night, chatting through their gaming headsets as they completed missions and explored for fun. The second thing was something Hiro was impatiently waiting for, a personal robotics project they would be creating during their winter holiday before the couple takes on their entrance exam.

Although, time moved forward at random speeds to both the couple's delight and regret, they were happy throughout and their happiness was infectious. They at first thought that not much would change, but even the smallest changes make a difference. Tadashi had been even sweeter with his gestures to Clara and did not hold back what he thought, which meant he had always made her blush with his simple sweet words. Clara had also stopped holding back her thoughts, although she was very shy in her execution. She had also done little things that made him smile like making him a bento and baking him chocolate chip cookies.

The first time he told her he loves her was in the evening of September 13th as they walked through a public garden decorated with fairy lights. They had gone on their first date, with Tadadhi treating Clara to a lovely dinner at a little restaurant called Atasca. The autumn leaves gently swayed in the cool breeze which lifted Clara's curled hair, she tucked a couple of strands behind her ear to reveal her simple drop earrings. She wore a thick white coat that covered her plain black t-shirt and black and white plaid skirt with knee high suede black boots. He wanted to tell her how beautiful she looked the moment he saw her but had only managed to after she did, she was too stunned to say anything at first and eventually had spoken her mind.

Clara had never seen Tadashi dress up before, he was always in those baseball jackets and caps with his simple plain shirts and jeans. The young man that stood before her had even gained the same suprise and appreciation from her parents. He had come to her home dressed up in black slim fit jeans and a formal black Mandarin collar button up shirt, his hair messy perfection and shoes a shiny formal black pair. He even used a different perfume, Clara could tell because she had an acute sense of smell which led to many sinus days. She eventually recovered from her suprise and had managed to talk, "Wow Tadashi you look so handsome," she said then ducked her head down blushing at what she just blurted out in front of him and her parents, who now took a hint and gave them some privacy. "And you look even more beautiful than usual," he said with a smile which made her blush even more.

"This is for you," he said and handed her three tulips tied together with an emerald green ribbon, one red, one purple and one yellow. She accepted the small bouquet and smiled brightly,  "Before you say anything, I know there are a lot of meanings so let me tell you," he said before she could speak. "Yellow tulips to represent cheerfulness, happiness and hope. I chose them because I read that Victorians believed yellow tulips literally meant 'there's sunshine in your smile' and I thought that's definitely you because your smile really makes my days feel full of warmth. Purple represents royalty as you know and the reason I chose it was to show you that you are a princess to me and I will always treat you like one. Lastly I chose red because I read that it said 'my feelings are true' that is what I want you to know most of all... he explained, stopping himself from saying the rest which he had planned on telling her later in the evening.
