Happy Holidays :) (Hiro Hamada x Reader)

Chapter 4

***Narrator POV***

The next morning, you woke up to sunlight streaming through the small window above Hiro's computer. You looked over at the clock on his desk and it read "7:28AM". You groaned, today was a chance for you to finally sleep in! Stupid sunlight. Rolling out of bed, you pondered if you should go downstairs or wait a bit. Who knew if Hiro was awake yet or not. You didn't want to awkardly creep around his house while he was asleep. You decided to exit Hiro's room and quietly walk across the hallway to the bathroom, listening for any sounds coming from downstairs. You heard pretty much nothing but Hiro's cat roaming through the house. You left the bathroom and--

--"BOO!" you jumped a foot off the ground in the opposite direction of the noise and ended up landing your butt on the floor. You looked up to see none other than Mr. Hiro Hamada whom you assumed was still asleep. He chuckled and reached his hand out to help you up. You scowled and pushed his hand away, your heart was still racing. You got off the floor and punched him in the arm.

"You scared me!!"

"I'm sorry!!" He smiled, "That was pretty funny though.."

"Ha ha. Very funny." You said in monotone, trying not to crack a smile. He looked at you with a contorted pouty face, resulting in you caving in to laughter. Hiro laughed along with you.

"Why on earth are you up anyway?" you asked Hiro.

"I've been up since four... I couldn't sleep."

"Is everything ok?" He hestitated for a moment before reluctantly replying "Yes." You decided not to push the subject further.

"Are you hungry? We can grab a couple pastries from the cafe if you'd like."

"Food sounds great now that I've spent all of my energy on being freaked out by some noob." you looked at Hiro with a playful glare. He just smirked.

You both went down to the Lucky Cat Cafe and retrieved a few tasty looking treats from the display case. Hiro then lead you back to the family room where you watched some morning television. Once you finished your breakfast, Hiro kindly took your trash to the kitchen to dispose of it. He entered the family room once again and plopped back down on the sofa.

"I should probably be heading out now. I need to change my clothes (you slept in yesterday's) and my parents are going to be back by noon." you stated.

"Okay, it should be safe out there now. But just to be sure, let me walk you home."

"Hiro, you don't have to---"

"(Y/N), its fine, I'm offering. Dont worry about wasting my time, there's nothing else I'd rather do right now." He had a hint of a blush on his face.

"Well if you insist," you smiled and felt a blush coming on as well.

On the way to your house, you and Hiro made small talk. The cafe happened to only be five blocks away from where you lived.

"That was fun Hiro, thank you for letting me stay at your place last night."

"It's no problem, anything to keep you safe," he grinned.

"Do you maybe want to hang later?" you timidly asked, afraid of Hiro saying no.

"Um... I do, but I'll be working on a project at the lab later."

"Aren't we on break??" you questioned.

"This project is just for fun. Maybe you can swing by and help me out? You did say you wanted to learn how this stuff works." He smiled at you.

"You make a good point. When should I meet you?"

"Ill be heading there around 5pm tonight. I actually have to walk past your house to get there, so I'll just meet you right out here and we can walk there together."

"Alright, I can't wait!" You smiled. You exchanged numbers in case any of the plans happened to change(yeah thats the reason). You both waved goodbye and Hiro started to head in the opposite direction. You walked in to your house and started to get ready for the day.
