Memories Pt. 2 (Two-Part OneShot)
Part Two! (Unedited)
You grabbed your robot gloomily and stared at it. For years, you always felt there was a missing piece in your life. Time to go, you thought. You shoved your feet into your (F/C) sneakers and grabbed your jacket and money. Then you slipped out of the house and sprinted towards the alleys.
In the dimly lit alley, people were gathered around the ring, staring at the competitors. Shortly after you arrived, the current game ended. "Who's up?" a lady called.
"Me," you shoved two bills from your collection at her and sat down with your robot. You glanced at your opponent, but his face was lost in the shadow of his dark blue hood.
You started up your bot. Your opponent's bot walked towards you, and you both started slashing at each other. Your grip tightened around the controller. The other bot backed yours towards the edge of the ring. It tore your robot right in half, and your eyes widened. Your opponent raised a little blade over your bot. You let out your breath. It was over.
Suddenly, the little bot dropped the blade, frozen. Surprised, you looked up at your enemy. Big brown eyes stared out at you under the hood. Shock filled the eyes. Then, a hand reached up and tugged off the hood. You almost dropped the controller.
It was Hiro Hamada.
He got up abruptly, the hood falling off his head. He stepped forward and grabbed your arm, then dragged you away from the crowd.
"(Y/N)!" he said once you both were hidden away in a dark corner. "What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here?" you echoed. You were just as surprised. Hiro was taller and skinnier, and his hair was less poofy.
"It's really you," he gaped. "But why are you botfighting?"
"It gets my mind off Tadashi's death," you mumbled, suddenly embarrassed. "And it's a nice way to earn money."
Suddenly, Hiro pulled you into a hug. "I'm sorry," he whispered into your hair. "About everything."
"Like what?" you asked, blushing. It had been too long since you interacted with a Hamada brother.
"About teasing you and stuff," Hiro replied. "And how I left you after Tadashi died." He paused. "You really like him, didn't you?"
You nodded, trying to stop the tears threatening to spill over.
"(Y/N), can I tell you something?" Hiro sighed, plopping down in a sitting position. He leaned against the brick wall, tugging you down next to you.
You raised your eyebrows questioningly.
"Tadashi didn't approve of my botfighting before he died," Hiro said quietly. "He always yelled at me for doing something illegal."
"Well, why were you doing it a few minutes ago?" you smirked in spite of the tears.
"Same as you," Hiro said, his eyes glistening.
"If he was still alive, do you think he would disapprove of what we're doing right now?" you asked, pulled your legs up to your chest. You wrapped your arms around your legs and sniffed at the thought of Tadashi.
"Probably," Hiro said, biting his lip. There was an awkward silence. "Hey, (Y/N)," he said again. "Can I tell you something else?"
"Go ahead," you replied, staring at your knees.
"You know why I teased you and stuff?" Hiro asked, his voice suddenly full of embarrassment. "I really liked you."
You froze. "What?"
Hiro cleared his throat. "Nothing."
You looked up at him. "You said something."
"No, I didn't," Hiro answered, looking away.
You punched him in the arm. "Yes, you did."
"Then what did I say?" Hiro glanced at you, his ears red.
"You said that you. . . " you trailed off, tentative to answer. Hiro turned to face you, then took your face gently with one hand. He leaned forward and kissed you, then quickly pulled away, covering his mouth. "Sorry," he muttered.
But you, on the other hand, was ecstatic. You pulled Hiro into a huge hug. "It's okay," you said. You finally understood. The missing piece in your life was Hiro the whole time.

Finally finished :D That took a long time. It is pretty short and/or cheesy, so sorry.
A new chapter of Two Hamada Brothers is out!
