I'm Still Here (Hiro x Reader)

| Your POV |

You hoist the last box onto Hiro's new desk. You let out a long breath and rub your hands together. "That's the last of it," you announce.

Hiro raises his eyebrows as he examines the amount of boxes. "I guess I should start unpacking, then."

You immediately open up a box. "You're going to have to tell me where you want everything." You pull out a desk lamp.

"On the right side of the desk," Hiro orders. You place it there and plug it in. After that, you take out his cup, his packages of pencils and pens, his notebook, and his laptop. You organize them neatly and step back.

"There. Is that okay?"

Hiro finishes putting his textbooks on the shelf and stands up. He walks over to you and places his hand on the small of your back. "It's nice, but it's missing something." He reaches into the pocket of his hoodie and pulls out Tadashi's hat and a framed picture. He hangs the hat on the top of the lamp and places the picture frame next to his laptop. The picture is of you and Hiro. The one from his journal. You smile and slowly wrap an arm around his waist.

"That looks pretty good," you say. Hiro leans his head against yours.

Hiro sighs and pulls away. He goes to the largest box in the lab and opens it. You remain silent as he lifts Baymax's rocket fist out of it. He hoists it up on his bookshelf and gently hits his fist on it. "Baha-la-la-la-la," he says softly. You smile sadly and walk over to him.

After a few moments, you say, "Hiro, I know that you don't like to get lectured, but I'm just going to say one more thing. You're still hurting, and I can see it. I just want you to know that things don't always go the way you planned. Everything's confusing, but I want you to know that it's okay. Know that your friends are here, they love you, Aunt Cass loves you, and I love you."

Hiro's hand finds yours. "I love you, too. Don't worry about me, ___. I'm going to be just fine as long as you're here." He leans in to kiss you. Your heart thuds against your ribcage as you lean forward. It seems a little awkward, but you go with it. Something catches your eye just before Hiro's lips meet yours. "Wait." You pull back.

Hiro's face heats up. "What? I'm sorry. I-I-"

"No," you say with a shake of your head. You reach around him and pry Baymax's fingers open. Your heart sinks when you see Baymax's healthcare chip on the palm. "H-Hiro. . ."

Hiro's face displays pure shock. He picks it up and shakes his head. "I don't understand. . ." He grins and runs a hand through his hair. "___, do you know what this means?"

"We can bring him back," you realize. "Hiro, we can bring him back!"

"We can bring him back!" He echoes. Hiro grabs your face gently and his lips quickly find yours. Your hands lock around his wrists in surprise. Hiro's eyes open when he realizes that you're not responding. He pulls back. "Um, I'm sorry."

You smile as the surprise melts away. "Don't be," you reply. You wrap your arms around his neck and pull him forward until his lips meet yours. It doesn't feel awkward this time. You pull yourself tighter against him and close your eyes. For the first time in a long time, everything is perfect.
