***Just Count On Narrator's POV...***

You reached the cafe just as dinner became ready.

"Hey Aunt Cass, we're back!" Hiro stated as he hung up his blue hoodie and kicked off his worn converse. "What's on the menu tonight?"

"Hey kids! I just whipped up some spicy wings for tonight, trying to stay low key before Christmas Eve tomorrow," she replied as she took a tray of wings out of the oven.

Hiro fist pumped, "Yes!" You turned to him and gave him a high five. Hot wings would be perfect after spending the day out in the cold.

You both proceeded to the square table and sat down. Tadashi then walked in and sat across from Hiro. Aunt Cass followed and sat across from you.

"How was your guys' day?" Tadashi asked as Aunt Cass distributed the wings.

You and Hiro looked at each other grinning. "Interesting..." Hiro responded chuckling.

"Oh, and why is that?" Tadashi questioned, a knowing look on his face.

"Well... Hiro can't skate... And I can't sing..." you said. Both you and Hiro laughed reminiscing in the previous events of the day.

Tadashi responded with a laugh, not questioning it any further.

"Well it sounds like you kids had fun," Aunt cass said grinning as she bit in to a spicy wing, "Tadashi what did you do today?" she pointed her half eaten wing in his direction.

"I was able to get some work done on my newest project back in the lab."

"What is it??" Hiro asked, eagerly leaning on the table.

"You'll have to wait and see when it's finished, but for now, its top secret." Tadashi smirked. Hiro slumped in his seat and crossed his arms, giving his brother a pouty face. Tadashi just continued to smile and kept eating his wings.

You picked up a piece of chicken doused in sauce as well, suddenly feeling self conscious of the fact that you were eating an extremely messy food. You looked around the table at the crazy family, noticing their smiling faces. Each one of them had wing sauce somewhere on their face. Your care seemed to fall away and you dived in to appetizing meal.

"So (Y/N), what are you doi--" he paused as you looked up from your half eaten wing and he started to giggle.

"What...?" you questioned his actions.

Tadashi spoke, "you have a streak of spicy sauce going all the way down the middle of your nose," he joined Hiro chuckling.

You crossed your eyes in attempt to see the sauce yourself. Sure enough, it was there. Aunt Cass started laughing and after a moment, you joined the group in laughter. "How does that even happen?!" you asked.

"You haven't mastered the art of eating your messy foods," Hiro stated as he took a bite out of another wing, leaving a streak of orange across his cheek. You laughed at his attempt to eat well.

You all shared some more laughter as you finished up the meal. You went in to the kitchen along with the others to rinse off your plate and put it in the dishwasher.

"So as I was saying... What are your plans for Christmas Eve tomorrow?" Hiro asked you.

"Not a alot really. Me and my mom usually make some sugar cookies in the daytime and then my parents have some friends over to hangout Christmas Eve night. I usually am just kind of there." you stated plainly.

"Would you like to join us tomorrow night then?" Aunt Cass asked.

"I would love to!" you beamed. "I'll make sure thats ok with my parents and I'll let Hiro know by the morning if I am able to."

"Alright, sounds great!" Aunt Cass replied. Hiro grinned.

"Well I suppose I better head home, you need to catch up on your sleep mister," you looked at Hiro and raised your eyebrows.

"Ok ok. Ill take you home and then I'll go to bed early. You do realize its only 8:30 right?" he questioned.

"Yes, but last time I checked, you were so tired you fell asleep on the couch at twelve in the afternoon." you replied.

"Ok fine. For your sake I'll go to bed," he smiled.

"Good." you returned the smile.

You both exited into the night air once again and walked the couple of blocks to your house.

As you approached your house, Hiro wrapped you up in a hug, "goodnight (Y/N)!"

You returned his embrace, "goodnight! I'll text you if I can make it over tomorrow," you smiled.

"Ok," he smiled back.

You both waved goodbye as you reentered your quiet house.

"Hellooo!" you shouted throughout the house.

"(Y/N)!" you heard your dad call from upstairs. You trecked up the steps and entered your parents room.

"Hey (Y/N)! We were just getting ready for bed," your mom said.

"Sweet! I have a quick question," you said. Your mom looked at you silently, waiting for you to continue. "Is it cool if I go to Hiro's tomorrow night for Christmas Eve? I don't usually end up doing much here. Plus his Aunt Cass offered."

"Sounds fine to me!" you heard your dad shout in the background. You laughed.

Your mom stood for a minute or two contemplating if she should let you out of the house on Christmas Eve night. "Well I suppose that fine, just as long as we still make our holiday cookies!" She smiled.

"Of course! Wouldn't miss it for the world." you gave your mom a quick hug. "Goodnight!"

"Goodnight (Y/N)!" your parents said in unison as you exited the master bedroom.

You moseyed down the hallway and into your room. You threw off your winter garments and changed in to your pajamas. Tiredness overtook you from the long and exciting day and you fell back on to your comfortable, welcoming bed. You raised enough willpower to get out of bed and take off your makeup and brush your teeth. You returned and slid under the cozy mound of blankets. Just before falling asleep, you texted Hiro:

(Y/N): Hey Hiro! My parents are cool with me coming over tomorrow night! :D See ya then! Hiro: Awesome! Can't wait! :) and I promise I'm in bed!

You giggled at his response.

(Y/N): Good! :) Night Hiro!
Hiro: Night!

You drifted off to sleep with a smile plastered on your face, excited for the next day ahead of you.
