Totally in Paris Hiro x Reader

Chapter 8

(Y/n) P.O.V

In the distance, I saw the gang slowly make their way to the park, I leapt from the swing and dove into the playground equipment and hid under the slide.

The gang walked over to where I was mere minutes ago and separated ways. Hiro stayed behind and sat on the swing that I was on.

Minutes turned into an hour and he still hadn't left, I had to go and sneak out.

I snuck behind him and was nearly out of the park when I heard my name call. Just perfect.

"I didn't see you! How was shopping?" Hiro asked, walking over to me.

"It was cool." I said Nonchalantly. Hiro insisted on walking around the park with me and talking even though I wasn't keen.

"So... What did you and the gang do all day?" I asked.

"We chatted at the cafe... It wasn't very interesting... You?" He asked.

"I bought the present and came here..." I lied. The air was filled with silence until Hiro spoke again.

"Oh!" He exclaimed, remembering something. "I... Have been meaning to ask you something." He said. Oh god no please don't ask me out! I'm trying to move AWAY from you! "I know you may not like talking about it but... Remember the day we met?" He asked.

"Yeah... At the cafe." I said, knowing very well we met when he caught me stealing.

"No... I caught you stealing." He said. Oh great! Perfect! He remembered!

"What about that day?" I asked.

"Why were you stealing?" He asked.

"I told you, I was hungry and my parents don't give me money for food." I said.

"But-"

"I couldn't eat from home because they would kill me... Not literally." I added.

"Oh." He said.

"I need to go... See you later." I stated. "Tell your mum I said hello." I waved. I ran off and went home. Cass was such a lovely person.

Hiro's P.O.V

I walked home and went to my room, I was so furious with myself, (y/n) still thinks Aunt Cass is my mum. It's not true though!

I searched my room for anything to clear my head, my eyes landed in that thing...

My megabot was on the floor next to the controller. I hated the thing. It brought awful memories. I picked it up and placed it in my pocket, I was going to get rid of it.

I let my feet take me outside and I found myself near (y/n)'s house, I threw the megabot and controller as far as possible and watched it land through a window of an abandoned house.

I kicked the dirt and ran home, I'm a changed person, I don't go back to the negative memories.

(Y/n)'s P.O.V

CRASH! The figure threw the object into the abandoned house next to mine. Probably a drunk under aged kid.

I snuck out of the house interested in what the foreign object was. I knocked the door down and found a small black robot on the floor with a controller.

I picked it up and felt reassurance from it. It felt oddly familiar and friendly... It's scent cosy and familiar as well.

I took it back to my house and played around with it, unlocking all the secrets of the bot. Never had I seen a war bot as deceiving as this!

Ideas formed in my head. Should I throw it out? Sell it? Burn it? Reuse the parts? None of my ideas seemed right... Fight with it? Now that sounded like a smart plan.

Either way I won! If I got caught, I would have a better shelter at the prison and if I got away with it, I would have money! I wouldn't need to work at the cafe either!

Many names went through my mind. I wanted to call it something obvious yet deceiving at the same time.

I eventually thought of a name; Invincible. It was such a cute and petit robot that the name "Invincible" brings humour to the robot. Once I won, the name will prove all it's worth.

I practised with the bot and found it very easy to control, very little buttons so it was easy to control.

I went to sleep, for once happy that I had a chance.
