The Nerd and the Know-it-all (Hiro x reader)

Chapter 16- Immortals

This book popped up in "Suggestions for You." when I was reading a Hiro x Reader

Hiro's wide eyes flutter open, slowly and then all at once. His eyes fixate on you. Your face shining with sweat, but to him you looked like the most beautiful girl in the world. The lights in the room are bright and flood the entire warehouse. You don't mind, and Hiro's eyes were slowly getting used to it.

"Why the hell are you here?" You ask forcefully.

"I'm here for you. Your dad has been taken by some people to program something that could potentially destroy all of the county."

"Where's my mom?"

"She died. So did Tadashi."

Tadashi. The name sounds so familiar as it echoes through your head.

"The one who asked me for help with coding." You spoke without emotion.

"Y-you remember?" Hiro mumbled, in awe as that was the second important thing you'd recalled.

"I... I need to rest. This is too much."

"Take all the time you need. Actually, do you want me to set a timer?"

"Yeah. Don't let me go over twenty minutes."

Hiro takes your phone, somehow knowing the passcode you've had for the past year, and sets a timer. "Were we friends?" You asks.

"Best friends."

"And, did we love each other?" You ask, quietly. Hiro had thought his answer carefully. The more he thought of how beautiful you are, the more sure he was.

"Yeah. I love you, and i'm pretty sure you loved me." He sighs.

After that statement, Hiro went back to staring at the timer. He's in awe when he sees your hand connect with his. At that exact moment, he realises he doesn't want to live another day like this. Without you being able to remember who he his, why he loves you, or the memories you've made. He just wants you back.

The fingers of his free hands find their way to your untamed hair and start to finger-comb their way through. He made it a game; the less knots you had in your hair the more you'll remember.

—you were running, faster than you could usually. This time, you had a reason. Your father had returned and you didn't like it at all. He had the nerve to kiss your mother in front of you. How dare he.—

Hiro saw you squirm in your place. She must be having a dream.

—you were straddling the back of Hiro, his hands wrapping perfectly around me your thighs.

"Do you think we'll be friends forever?" You asked.

"I hope so." He responded, as you hopped off his back and walked into SFIT together.—

The timer beeps and vibrates as your eyelids flutter. She's having a dream, I shouldn't wake her, Hiro thinks. He snoozes the alarm and lets you rest a little longer.

—what are you doing?! Kill him! The voice echoed through your empty mind. 'I can't. I don't want to hurt him! Please stop this!'—
