You couldn't meet Hiro's eyes as he stared at you.
        "You got into a fight?" He finally spoke. You hung your head in shame, not being able to bring yourself to see the disappointed look on his face.   
        "With Clare... Yeah I did," you mumbled, staring at your feet. When he remained silent, you finally looked up -- and to your surprise... He was smiling. 
        "I've never seen you so jealous before (Y/N)," he said, looking slightly pleased with himself.
        "Y-you're... Not mad?" Hiro chuckled. 
        "Mad? We're even now, right?" You furrowed your brows in confusion. 
        "Even?" 
        "Yeah," Hiro said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "So, we're good now, right?" 
        You were so relieved, all you could do was wrap your arms around him in a tight hug. 
        "Yeah, we're good," you whispered, burying your face in his chest. "I'm sorry Hiro -- she's just, so irritating!" You said, sitting down at the table behind you. 
        "(Y/N)... I was thinking of resigning as her tutor," he told you, and you sat up straight. 
        "R-really?" You stuttered, taken aback. 
        "Yeah, I've decided tutoring isn't for me." He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. You didn't know what to say. 
        "I-I'm sorry Hiro," you said again.
        "I'm the one who should be sorry (Y/N). Because of me, our relationship was in jeopardy."
        "This is all very touching, but we'd like to eat now," GoGo grumbled. You blushed and nodded, pulling Hiro down to sit next to you.  


                                                                                                                         ~~~

        "What?" You couldn't help but crack a smile. Hiro had just gone to tell Clare about resigning, with you trailing behind. "But why?" She wailed. "You were helping me Hiro! I thought we were friends!" Hiro shook his head and glared at her. 
        "You attacked my girlfriend, and betrayed my trust Clare!" He spat. You couldn't help think how... hot... Hiro was when he got like this. 
        "This is all your fault!" Clare screamed, pointing at you. Hiro made a move to step in front of you, but you pushed him back. 
        "It's okay Hiro," you muttered, and he nodded, moving back. 
        "Clare, you did this to yourself." You said quietly. "He gave you a chance, and you took advantage of that." 
        "Don't you see how cute we'd be together Hiro?" She pleaded. "(Y/N) does nothing for you!" You clenched your teeth. 
        "He's taken Clare. And you know what? I love him more than you ever would!" Your face was burning up now, and you didn't dare look to see Hiro's smug expression.
        "You'll pay for this (Y/N)!" She yelled.  Then, speechless, she burst into tears, and ran off. You jumped when you felt a hand on your shoulder, and turned to see Hiro smiling at you. 
        "She'll get over it soon enough (Y/N)," he said. You looked at the ground, unsure. Because of this, you were positive Clare would try to make your every moment with her and miserable as possible. 

                                                                                                                     ~~~

        "I'm so tired," you muttered, plopping down onto your old bed. Hiro laid down on his, and after a moment, you heard soft snores. Smiling to yourself, you stood up and walked quietly out of the room, closing the door behind you. 
        You sipped your freshly made tea, sitting down at the window that towered over the busy streets below. 
        "Hey, (Y/N)," you heard Hiro greet. You turned around, seeing him walk over to you, rubbing his eyes sleepily. 
        "Hey sleepyhead-" You were cut off as you were thrown back painfully against the wall by an invisible force. Then, came the explosion. It sounded like a huge canon, echoing all the way down the street. "Hiro!" You screamed, standing up on shaky legs. Looking around, you saw nothing wrong with the apartment, except a few things shaken from their spots of various shelves. Hiro was still standing, wild-eyed and scared. You grabbed his hand, and pulled him down the stairs and outside. 
        "Are you guys alright?" Aunt Cass ran up to you, enveloping you both in a bone-crushing hug. You pulled back. 
        "W-what was that?" You gasped. Solemnly, she turned, and pointed to the house right next to yours, its roof blown off, and smoke leaking from its windows.
