My Robot Boy (Hiro x OC)

Five; Shion Watanabe

I finally found Hiro after he escaped the police. He was standing outside his dad's home where a bunch of reporters had gathered to question the poor man. Hiro's dad has his head down low as he apologized for his son.

A reporter turned their head and saw Hiro standing there. Hiro didn't think twice as he started killing each of the reporters as they screamed and tried running away.

"Hiro. Please don't shoot me. I'm begging you," his dad asked, hiding his face behind his arms.

Hiro didn't say anything. I ran after him, shouting his name as I tried to catch him, but he ignored me. He flew off, making me go flying back because of the blast it took to get him off the ground.

I hit the ground angrily with my first then sat up, looking up into the air where he had flown off. Hiro's father looked at me with wide eyes, still terrified after watching his son kill all the reporters.

"Who are you?"

"I'm a friend of his," I answered with a lie, standing up and dusting myself off. "I'm trying to stop him"

"I don't think anyone can stop him," he said solemnly, taking another glance at all the dead bodies.

School the next day was interesting. And I'm not talking about the lesson. In the middle of the lesson the boy beside me dropped dead. He was somehow shot through his head.

Everyone else started screaming. I stared at him and noticed his phone was face down. I picked it up, catching a glimpse of Hiro's face on the screen.

"I'll come for you," he said before the screen shut off.

I dropped the phone and backed away. All the students hurried out of the classroom, tripping over each other and desks and chairs that were in their way. 

I didn't know what Hiro meant, and it scared me. Was he going to kill me next? Or was he going to come pull me back into the murder spree?

I ran out of the classroom, rushing out of the building with the rest of the students. I hurried pat a park where a couple kids were playing and found Hiro with his finger aimed at them.

As quick as I could I raced over and bent his arm up just as he shot, making him shoot up into the air instead, hitting a bird. The bird fell in front of us, splattering on the ground.

"I'm scared, Hiro"

He looked at me with wide eyes, probably never expecting to hear me say that. I had never shown to him I was scared before, so he knew that something was definitely wrong.

"Shoot me instead, if you want to shoot someone"

"No-"

"Do it," I grabbed his hand and pushed his finger under my chin. "Shoot me!"

He shook his head. His hand cupped my chin and he leaned forward. I tried pushing him away from me before he could kiss me but thanks to his mechanical body I couldn't move him an inch.

His lips met mine and I stopped wanting to shove him away and punch him. I let my hands hang by my sides as both his arms went around my waist. I pulled my face away from his in shock when we flew off into the sky.

"What are you doing!?" I exclaimed, definitely surprised.

He smiled at me as we floated above the city. "We've made it this far. I want us to continue like this"

I checked my phone with a sigh. It had been a while since I heard of anything about Hiro. He told me he had to go away for a little bit, probably go into hiding, but I didn't expect it to be this long. But then I saw a tweet about a boy miraculously healing someone of cancer. There was no mention of anymore murders.

After a lot of searching I found him crying over two dead bodies, one of those bodies was a classmate of ours. He stood up and turned away, about to fly off.

"Hiro!" I shouted.

I grabbed onto his hand just as the jet pack came from his back and he flew off. I screamed, almost losing my grip. But he paused, floating in the air, and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I wish you'd gotten rid of me sooner, before I started feeling this way"

"What?"

"I like you, Hiro. But then you just left, leaving me behind. Why the hell did you just disappear? Where the fuck did you go?"

"I had to hide. I didn't want them to go after you, like they went after them"

He looked down at the two bodies and I followed his line of sight. "You don't worry about me. I know how to use a gun"
