Happy Holidays :) (Hiro Hamada x Reader)

Chapter 6

****Narrator POV*****

You fully stepped into the room and slowly turned 360 degrees, admiring every inch of the place.

"Hiro... This is amazing."

"Thank you. Most of this is Tadashi's work. Pretty incredible huh?"

"No kidding."

"Here, come over here. This is my mini work desk in the corner." Hiro led me to his area and pulled his swivel chair over, patting the seat for me to sit on it. He rummaged through a pile on his desk and took out some kind of blueprint.

"This is what I'm currently working on." He unrolled the blueprint revealing a complex schemetic.

"Wow. What exactly is it?"

"So its basically an upgraded motorcycle helmet for Tadashi. What you see here is just the folded portion. This button right here," he pointed at the blueprint, "causes a thin layer of carbon fiber to unravel and structure itself along a gallium and indium alloy that hardens when exposed to air."

You nodded your head as he pointed at another area of the paper, "when its unfolded and in the shape of a helmet, you can flip this switch which emits a neon light strip across the top of the eye mask. Theres a tiny projector that sits at the base of the neon light, which will allow Tadashi to see maps of roadways around him."

He pulled out another schematic,"when he wants to refold it, this button over here emits a heat that is slightly higher than room temperature, causing the metal to recoil along with the carbon fiber."

You sat there speechless.

After a moment, you spoke, "Hiro, this is impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it, check out what I've already got." He smirked as a pulled out his invention. "All I have to do is add the neon light strip and the projection lens."

"Unbelieveable." You admired the helmet as you inspected it. "Tadashi is going to absolutely love this!"

"Thanks." He blushed. "Alright, lets get to work. I need to finish this and clean up before tomorrow, it's his Christmas present so it has to look like I was never in here."

You smiled, "lets do it! What would you like me to specifically do?"

Hiro looked up at the ceiling with a thoughtful face before responding, "I'll have you hand me tools when I need them. That way it goes a bit quicker and I'll be able to show you the steps of my work." He began to pull out his box of equipment and tools and placed them on a table across the room from his small desk. He proceeded to clear a spot for the helmet and sat down on the swivel chair that you previously were seated upon.

An attentiveness washed over you as you began to focus on Hiro's intricate work.

"(Y/N) would you find me the soldering iron?"

You quickly went over to the box and began to dig through it. "This right?" you held up a metal pointed tool with plastic handle. It looked almost like a curling iron.

"That's the one!" you went back over to Hiro and handed him the device. "These are used mostly for heating small portions of metal in order to adhere them to other pieces." He turned on the gadget and held the tip against the extended portion of the neon light fixure for a couple of seconds and then pressed the heated object against the designated area of the helmet.

"Good to go! Now for the last thing." He picked up the small projecter piece, "could you get me a monkey wrench and a small square screwdriver?"

You moved back over to the disheveled equipment and rummaged through, picking out the tools Hiro asked for. "Here ya go!"

"This monkey wrench is too big silly!" He ruffled your hair, "its got to fit this socket." He pointed at his tiny projector piece.

Your face flushed as you returned the monkey wrench to its place and pulled out the right size. "Ok, this should work!"

"Ahh yes! Much better!" He gave you a sweet reassuring smile, causing butterflies to swirl in your stomach.

"So now we should be able to finish attaching this piece with our tiny square screw driver. Just tighten it right here, and...." Hiro spun to face you with the helmet in his hand. "Violá!" He beamed proudly. "The moment of truth..." He gently pressed the button and you both watched it re-fold magically before your eyes.

You smiled and turned, about to raise your hand to give him a high five but instead was welcomed by Hiro's embrace. "We did it (Y/N)!" He exclaimed.

"No, " you placed your hands on his shoulders and looked him in the eye, "you did it Hiro." You grinned, blushing in the process. His face turned pink as well. He turned to pick up his contraption in effort to hide his colored cheeks.

"Thank you for your help (Y/N)."

"Not a problem! Now lets get this place cleaned up so we can keep this surprise a secret."

Hiro began to put back his equipment as you wiped everything down and removed any evidence of his work.

"Good work!" you high-fived Hiro.

You left just as the other students were beginning to file in to work on their own projects. Luckily, the gadget was small enough that Hiro was able to place it in his pocket to avoid questions from the others. By the time you exited the building, it was 7:30 and dark in San Fransokyo. You and Hiro walked back to his aunt's cafe in a comfortable silence.

A wonderful aroma of coffee and pastries wafted through the door as Hiro opened it. He held it open for you before entering himself.

"Hey Aunt Cass! We're back!" He stated walking behind the counter. You politely paused in front of the counter. Hiro motioned for you to follow him, showing it was ok for you to enter.

You followed as he walked back in to the kitchen where Aunt Cass was preparing more baked goods.

"I'm going to walk (Y/N) home real quick since its dark! Ill be back soon!"

"Ok dear, be careful!"

"We will!" he smiled and departed the cooking space. You waved at Aunt Cass before exiting as well.

Just as you were about to leave, a tall broad shouldered man walked into the cafe. He wore an SFIT cap and was carrying a large bag.

"Tadashi?! I thought you weren't going to be back until tomorrow!"
