Happy Holidays :) (Hiro Hamada x Reader)

Chapter 14

"Alright, I need a break before I end up falling asleep..." you stated after watching the fourth movie of the night.

"Yeah good idea," Hiro agreed looking at you with drowsy eyes.

You took a quick glance at the clock, "2:43am!" you exclaimed. "No wonder we're so tired."

"Holy crud, that is not gonna feel good tomorrow," he laughed.

"Yeahhh... But it's worth it! Since Ill be skiing for the next four days..." you frowned.

"I forgot about that..." he groaned.

"But I'll be back for New Years Eve!" you winked.

"Yes!" he fist pumped excitedly. "I mean... sweet," he calmly said trying to cover up his enthusiasm, his face flushing a dark pink.

You giggled and ruffled his hair, causing him to smile.

"So what shall we do to wake us up a bit?" you questioned.

"Well... Playing a round of Smash Bros would do it... Or possibly running outside in the cold for a couple of minutes..." Hiro thought out loud, a determined look on his face. His eyes suddenly widened, sparkling with eagerness, "I have an idea!" he yelled thrusting his index finger in the air, pointing at the ceiling.

You chuckled, "and what is that?"

He grinned widely, "put on your winter gear."

"Ok?" you nervously asked, wondering what Hiro's idea was.

"Just do it, meet you in the garage in five!" he quietly exclaimed, regarding that Aunt Cass and Tadashi were asleep upstairs.

He ran up the steps as you softly strolled to the entryway and began to bundle yourself up once again. Just as you pulled your boots on, Hiro came running back down the stairs and into the garage. You followed in suit and cautiously entered the cold lair.

"So Hiro... What exactly is the plan?" you watched as he went over to a stack of shelves on the side of the garage next to Tadashi's scooter.

"We..." he pulled down two sleds from the third shelf up, "... are going sledding."

"This early?!"

Hiro smirked and handed you a blue foam sled with a plastic bottom. He then walked back to the set of shelves and retrieved a bottle of vegetable oil. "Its never too early to sled," he said with a smile.

"Vegetable oil??"

"Well, if we are going sledding at 3am, we might as well make it worthwhile!" he claimed.

"But what if your Aunt Cass notices we are gone? Or Tadashi? Won't they hear the garage opening?"

"Nah, they both sleep like rocks. I usually get up around this hour, don't worry," he looked at you with a reassuring smile.

"Alright... If you say so," you said, trusting that Hiro wasn't completely insane.

Hiro pressed the lit up button by the door, causing the garage to open, revealing heaps of snow illuminated by the city lights of San Fransokyo. The heavy snowfall had dramatically slowed down; snowflakes just barely fell, creating a calm winter scene. You both silently exited the garage and Hiro closed the door behind you. Hiro led you through the city and to the hills near the outskirts of San Fransokyo.

"Are you sure this is safe?" you asked, slightly intimidated by the dark, quiet hills.

"Positive, Tadashi used to bring me here every winter when I was a kid." he smiled.

You relaxed a little, "ok, I trust Tadashi's judgement."

"You don't trust mine??" he gave you a pouty face.

"Oh I do! But Tadashi seems to be less of a knucklehead," you giggled as Hiro crossed his arms and continued to give you a pouty face. He soon joined you in laughter.

Hiro picked up his red sled and stood at the edge of the highest part of the hill. You grabbed yours and stood next to him.

"On the count of three..." Hiro started counting down. "One..."

"Two..."

"Three!" You both jumped onto your sleds and raced down the hill.

You gleefully yelled on your way down the slope, surprised at how steep it was. Your speed decreased as you reached the flatland on the bottom, stopping next to a smiling Hiro. You quickly got on your feet and began the trek back up the hill. Once you returned to the top, you repositioned yourself to race again, waiting for Hiro to join you.

"Ready to try the vegetable oil?" he smirked, an excited glint in his eyes.

"Uh... I don't know, it was pretty scary that first round..." you nervously replied.

"Well, lucky for you, these sleds hold two people," he said as he started to lather the bottom of his sled with vegetable oil, "so, you can ride with me, and if we crash, which we won't, I'll be there as a cushion to protect you."

You nodded, unnoticably blushing in the dark. Hiro layed the sled down and plopped down on the front of it, digging his feet into the snow and grabbing the handles at his sides to stabilize it. You sat behind him and wrapped your arms around his waist, knowing that it was going to be a speedy ride.

You each yelled in unison, "one... two... three!" Hiro lifted up his feet and placed them on the sled. You immediately started squealing as you rocketed down the slope, your grip tightening around Hiro's waist. Hiro joyously yelled until you slowed to a stop. You ended up going twenty feet furthur than you originally did the first run. You slowed to a stop and burst out laughing, leaning forward into Hiro's back with relief. He laughed along with you and slowly picked himself up off the sled. He offered you a hand and helped you up.

"Your right, that was a great idea," you stated, still giggling.

"Told ya," he grinned and picked up the sled, ready for another run.

Both of you continued to repeatedly sled down the steep hill until your hands were numb and your energy was almost depleted. You drowsily followed Hiro back to his house and placed the sled back in its place on the shelf. Half asleep, you returned your winter attire to the rack hanging by the door and dragged yourself back to the family room, taking a seat by the fireplace to warm up.

By the time Hiro entered the room, your eyes were closed and you were slumped over, asleep. He turned on another movie and sat next to you on the floor. He lightly place a hand on your arm and gently leaned you into his shoulder, allowing you to rest on something more solid. A tired smile swept across his face as he grabbed the blanket next to him, wrapping you both in it to keep you warm. He stayed up for about half the movie before slowly dozing off and lying his head above yours.
