Happy Holidays :) (Hiro Hamada x Reader)

Chapter 5

***Your POV***

I shut the front door behind me and sighed contentedly. That was completely unexpected, I honeslty never thought I would see Hiro again. I never thought I'd be so happy to have someone plow straight in to me. I walked through the entry way and into the kitchen where I was welcomed by none other than my lazy basset hound. His eyes bulged out of his head with happiness as I approached him and gave him a quick pat on the head. I decided it was probably a good idea to let him out and slid open the glass door behing me. He immediately fled the kitchen and ran outside.  Oops, forgot to let him out before I left yesterday.

I exited the kitchen and took in the sights of Christmas lying about the house. The lights were left on over night, but the cloudy overcast sky was still dark enough to be illuminated by them. I continued on my way up the stairs and down the hallway adorned with family pictures. Their smiles seemed to reflect my own as I passed by. I then walked into my room, greeted by tons of random posters and un-matching furniture. I went over to my walk in closet and pulled out a new outfit for the day and quickly layed them down on my bed. I spun on my heel and skipped over to the bathroom to take a shower and wash away the accumulated sweat from the eventful night before. 

Time seemed to slowly drag on as I went about my usual daily routine. I was just too excited to go to Hiro's lab and see what exactly he was working on. This was finally my oppurtunity to learn some things about mechanics and such.

"(Y/N)!! We're back!" my dad yelled from downstairs. Wow, also completely forgot parents existed.

I ran downstairs and gave my dad a hug. "Hey dad! How was your guys' trip?"

"Wonderful, I wish you could've come with us though! Those darn finals."

"Thats ok dad, I still had fun at home." A smile tugged at the corner of my lips at the thought of my encounter with Hiro. I conversed with my mother as she walked in from the garage, and then I returned back upstairs to my room. I needed a way to pass the time. My eyes looked about the room and eventually landed on my drawing table. I pulled out my sketchpad and a pencil and began to create a winter landscape on the page. Christmas was only five days away, it was time to enhance the Christmas spirit. A couple hours later, I got up out of my seat to admire my work. I was snapped out of my observation by the ringing of the doorbell. Who... Oh gosh. I completely forgot to keep track of time. Hiro was at the door waiting! I swiftly pivoted on my foot and threw my pencil on my computer desk on my way out of the small bedroom. 

"ILL GET IT!" I yelled throughout the house, scrambling to the doorway. Panting, I opened the door to a grinning Hiro, his adorable gap showing through his teeth. I smiled in an effort to hide my mixed excitement and nervousness. 

"(Y/N), whos at the door?" my mom approached the doorway. She looked over at Hiro and smiled.

"Hello Mrs. (L/N), Im Hiro Hamada." he held out his hand for my mom to shake.

"Hi! Nice to meet you Mr. Hamada!" she shook his hand and turned to me smiling. "Have fun guys!" She turned around and winked at me, luckily Hiro didn't notice.

***Narrator POV***

You then walked out the door and normally greeted Hiro. 

"You know, I didn't even tell my parents our plans... She kinda just pushed me out of there." you giggled walking down the porch steps. Your mom would probably soon realize that she had no idea where her kid was going. Comforting.

"You should probably text her to reassure her that I'm not a serial killer," he chuckled.

"Or ARE you?!"

You widened your eyes and stared at him for a couple of seconds before you jokingly sprinted down the street. You glanced over your shoulder to see Hiro gaining on you more and more with each stride, his mess of hair flying about in the wind. You squealed and tried to run faster, only to be met by Hiro's hand grabbing your shoulder and pulling you around into his chest, halting you to a stop. You both looked at each other and time froze for a just moment before you both burst out into a fit of laughter. Hiro let you out of his embrace and you both began to walk, yet again, to the lab. 

"Wow, there's actually not much farther to go. Its just right up this path. Running really gets us places doesn't it?"

"I suppose so!" you replied. You glanced at Hiro and noticed how messy his hair was after that run. It was pretty disoriented before, but now it was just out of control. You stifled a giggle.

"What?" he looked at you confused.

You pointed at him, "your hair is more insane than usual." Hiro ran his hands through his jet black spikes and tried to fix them the best he could. "It looks fine Hiro, don't worry about it." You blushed. He sent you a thankful smile as you approached what appeared to be Hiro's lab. 

"We have arrived!"

"Wait...This is the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, I thought you said it was your lab??"

"It is... Well partially. Its my brother Tadashi's college lab, but he's letting me use it while hes out of town. He gets back to San Fransokyo tomorrow, you can meet him then! " Hiro exclaimed. 

"Sounds great!" you responded. An excitement shone in Hiro's eyes as he talked about his big brother. They must be really close. 

The two of you walked in to the front doors of the school and down a never ending corridor. Hiro opened a door on the left and held it open for you. You thanked him and walked through into "his" lab. 

"Why is it so empty?" you asked.

"Most of these guys aren't able to work on their inventions until late because of their classes. So this is the best time for me to come in without being in anyones way." Hiro explained.

"Ah, that makes sense. So which station is yours?"

"Follow me."

Hiro led you through a maze of stations cluttered with tools and prototypes until you reached a room at the back of the lab. He held the door open once again and you walked into the space filled with boxes and gadgets and tools and schematics. 

"Wow." you breathed. Hiro smiled at your reaction, excited to begin finishing his project with your help.
