Hiro Hamada x Reader ("You, Me, and the World")

The Forbidden

     "Alright, how can I help?" You asked, walking next to Ashi, who was sitting in a chair, inspecting the piece of paper. Hiro walked next to you, awaiting orders. Ashi looked around the room, and motioned at another chair. "Sit next to me, you'll be of help," Ashi said, turning back to the chair. You walked off to get the chair, and Hiro stood next to Ashi. "..." They exchanged silence.  "Uhh," Hiro said, "What do I do?" Ashi framed his face with his fingers, pondering what Hiro could do. 

     "You can... Get me my phone. It's on the kitchen table." Ashi said, flexing his fingers. Hiro nodded, and was on his way. You have obtained the chair and placed it next to Ashi, ready to work. "Okay, so," Ashi began, "First we need to clean all the ash and soot off of this." He handed you a brush and a towel. "Delicately, so we won't rip the paper."

     Meanwhile, Hiro was walking over to the kitchen table. He let out a long sigh, picking up the phone. Ashi was a really weird guy. No, Hiro was not getting bias. Hiro wasn't jealous! Ashi was legit weird. Like, Ashi randomly touches you. It was creepy. Oh, and he was on his phone, too! You tried to see, but Ashi turned off his phone.

     Hiro's eyes widened. Maybe he could figure out what Ashi was doing! He turned on the phone, nervously looking left to right. The phone did a familiar jingle as the screen illuminated. Hiro rolled his eyes, as the phone asked him to input a password. Luckily, Hiro was a genius, so he simply entered a code that hacked into the phone. Surprisingly, Ashi's phone wasn't wired against it, so the phone unlocked. (Totally; a code that hacks into phones. Shhh, it exists. In this story.) 

     The home screen appeared. It was a pattern of squares each covered with a big red x. Hiro didn't have the time for that, though. It was time to search his phone! Alright, history. The most recent viewed was: Amazon, FaceTunnel, and a google search for "foot cream". Weird. Well, nothing weird there. ...Photos? He clicked the app "Gallery". ...Pictures of cats. Okay, next. Pictures of... More patterns of squares with an x for each. Hiro quickly scrolled past all those.

     ...But he stopped when he found something interesting. Pictures of you. Multiple. One of you sleeping, multiple of you eating breakfast, and many of you sifting through the dirt. Hiro gasped, and closely inspected (you) the pictures. Why? Hiro knew he liked you, but this was a little bit creepy. He looked even closer at the pictures, and noticed strange inscriptions. On the ones with you sifting through dirt, "Почти там." On the sleeping ones, "аз съм съхраняемостта неин." What the hell was this!? What was this language?

     Hiro felt disgusted. He HAD to tell you, once Ashi was away. Maybe Hiro would even confront Ashi about it! Hiro and (Y/N) could confront him together! Or, even better, your father could join the both of you. Yes, Hiro wanted answers. This was very weird. Hiro shut off the phone, jingle leaving an ominous echo in his ears. 

     Hiro reentered the basement. Ashi looked at him. "What took you so long?" He asked, as Hiro handed him his phone. "I had to use the bathroom." Hiro said, cooly. Ashi nodded, turning on his phone. You were hard at work, making sure the piece of paper was pristine and clean. Ashi pulled up an app that translated language. Hiro watched you clean off the paper with mild interest, observing you. Your nose crinkled cutely whenever dust poofed out at you randomly from the paper, and Hiro smiled. 

     Hiro put his attention on the paper, taking a look at what was written on it. More strange inscriptions- That slightly resembled the ones on your pictures! ...No, they were in the same language all together! This was getting more and more weird. Hiro was dying to tell you what he found out. Ashi pushed Hiro out of the way, and looked at you. "...Yes, very good work, (Y/N). Excellent job." Ashi thanked you, gently taking the paper. You nodded and smiled. 

     Ashi quickly scanned the paper, very easily. The phone made a small whirring noise, processing the information. Ashi nodded, slightly smiling. "I see! It says: 'I've made my way to the cave. Burning the house makes me one step closer.'" You slightly turned your head, while Hiro's eyes widened, forgetting the fact that the language on both images were different. "So it really was a person who burnt down the house!" Hiro pointed out. You frowned. "...But, 'One step closer'? That must mean there's a plan. Oh, no, what if it has to do with me!?" 

     Ashi had a satisfied smile on his face. "I'm sure it'll be fine, (Y/N). We now know someone has burned down the house! We're one step closer." He assured you. Hiro scoffed, did Ashi just quote the paper? Or... No, it couldn't be. Hiro dismissed the thought quickly. Hiro had to be careful around Ashi, but blindly accusing him out of dislike, or even jealousy... That just wasn't right.

     You had a half smile. Ashi had a point; you were one step closer. "Does that mean we have to go back?" You asked, slightly glowering at the ground. You still didn't want to continue sifting through that mucky soot. "Unfortunately, yes." Ashi said, but he reasurringly ruffled your hair. 

     "I think we're almost done!" Ashi said, a big wide grin on his face. 

so.... The plot thickens. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, blah blah blah, have a good one
