First Dates
Hiro woke up still snuggled up to Baymax, he looked up and smiled, pulling Baymax closer to him. There was a comfortable silence between them. Until Hiro saw the clock, 11:30am it read.
"Shit I'm going to be late." Hiro panicked, jumping out of bed and reaching for his clothes.
Baymax sat up on the bed confused, watching charge panicked state.
"Hiro what's wrong?" Baymax on confused.
"Um Baymax, can we talk about this later? Because I've got to go."
"Go, where?"
"To meet a friend." Hiro panicked.
Hiro ran fully dressed down the stairs, with Baymax slowly squeaking behind.
"Oh good morning Hiro, what's the rush?"
"Can't talk now Aunt Cass I've got to go."
"Go where?"
"To meet a friend, no time to talk, love you Aunt Cass, see you later, bye."
"Wait, hold it there mister, you haven't had any breakfast yet."
"Ugh, Aunt Cass I don't have the time." Hiro started panicking again.
"Your Aunt is right, a proper nutritious breakfast, is the right start to the day, let me make you breakfast."
"You too, Look I don't have the time, can I just grab a muffin from the cafe and go please?"
"Fine, just grab and go, but you owe me mister."
"Love you Aunt Cass."
"Love you too sweetie"
"ugh boys." Aunt Cass sighed.
Hiro quickly ran down to the closed cafe, grabbed a muffin and ran for the front door, when he felt a hand on his shoulder, he quickly turned around and came face to face with Baymax and blushed.
"Hey big guy, urm I was thinking, why don't you stay home and help out Aunt Cass today in the cafe. I'm sure she could do with another pair of hands."
"But I go everywhere with you."
"Hiro felt something break inside, I know buddy I know, but not this time."
And for the first time Baymax honestly looked broken and confused.
Hiro reached for him and Baymax lifted him up, bringing him closer, so Hiro could throw his arms around him to give him a quick peck.
"I love you buddy I really do, please take care of Aunt Cass for me, Hiro smiled.
Baymax held him tight, not wanting to let go.
"I will do, love you too."
Baymax put Hiro down, fist bump, "balalala"
"Bye Maxi"
Baymax waved as the door clicked shut.
Baymax deflated a little, as he made his way upstairs without Hiro.
Hiro was running late, so he had to run part of the way across town to Karmi's house.
Where she seemed to be waiting outside for him not looking impressed.
Hiro stopped to catch his breath
"Your Late!" Karmi spat impatiently
"Just by 5 minutes and I ran most of the way to get here."
"Fine then." Karmi huffed.
"Urm, So where are we going then?"
"The Cinema, then your taking me out for dinner okay."
"Oh what?, Fine." Hiro sulked.
"Come on let's get going then."
Hiro and Karmi made there way into the city and towards the cinema.
"So where's is the thing today then?"
"The thing! has a name, and Baymax is helping Aunt Cass today in the cafe."
Hiro could feel himself starting to bubble with anger. No one disrespects his Maxi.
"Woah, okay, no need to bite my head off. You must really love him?"
"I do Karmi, I really do, I really believe our love is real."
"But he's a machine, he can't feel can he?"
"He couldn't really before, all he had was the green healthcare chip, which gave him lots of the knowledge, but his caring was limited. It wasn't me who created Baymax it was my brother Tadashi."
Hiro gasped and stopped for a second at the sound of that name.
"It's okay Hiro, I herd what happened and I am here for you."
Hiro breathed.
"Anyway as I was saying, when I rebuilt Baymax, i managed to create a chip that could resemble and even mimic most human emotions, so as well as he usual green healthcare chip, he has this new emotions chip as well. So yes I believe he has evolved more into a AI now and he can even think and even feel for himself, but he's still learning."
"Fascinating, Honey lemon told me about the red chip. It made him go crazy when you removed the green chip and Honey had to stop him."
Hiro froze.
"That was safely destryoed." Hiro lied.
They had now arrived outside of the cinema.
"So what shall we see?"
"50 Shades of grey of course." Karmi said with a small smirk
"Ugh, chick flick, typical." Hiro scoffed as they went inside and Karmi turned to him
"Oh by the way your paying, your the man and it's the gentleman's thing you have to do."
"Okay Fine!" Hiro huffed again.
Back at the lucky cat cafe, Baymax was hard at work helping Aunt Cass with the orders, the cafe seemed busier than usual. That was mainly down to the attention Baymax was creating. Many of the customers were commenting and taking photos of him.
"Aww It's so cute"
"Where did you get if from? I want one."
"How much do you want for it?"
"I'm sorry he's not for sale."
Even though Baymax was hard at work, he did seem a little distracted more than usual and even seemed a little sad, he didn't seem to want to interact with the customers. Usually he was waddling all over the cafe, giving customers healthcare advice, giving children balloons and even giving a customer the odd hug or two. But today Baymax just wanted to spend all his time out the back, in the kitchen, cooking the food, cleaning and sorting out the stock.
So when the Cafe seemed to quiet down after the lunch time rush, Aunt Cass decided on herself to confront him.
"Baymax is everything alright?"
"Everything is fine Aunt Cass," Baymax sighed. "Go back to the customers they need you."
"Actually I think you may need me."
"What do you mean?"
"Its obvious, you miss Hiro don't you?"
Baymax blushed.
"Come on ive seen you two together I'm not daft, you really love and care for him, probably as much as I do."
Baymax sighed in relief and nodded.
"I really do, Hiro is so precious to me, I would do anything to keep him safe, happy and healthy."
Aunt Cass, gasped and broke down, Baymax got up.
"Oh no."
"No no, I'm fine, just it's so sweet to hear, that someone feels the same way as I do."
"I know you don't quite understand, but what you just said means so much to me. You see Hiro was bullied as a child and didn't have any friends apart from his brother. Tadashi used to help out and be there for him. But apart from me, he was the last person to care about Hiro as much as I did and when he died I thought there wouldn't be anyone else. But I guess we have you now."
Aunt Cass tearly smiled.
Baymax nodded, "There, there." Baymax soothed wrapping his arms around Hiro's Aunt and bringing her close.
"He, He, look at me, silly old woman getting emotional over this. You know sometimes I forget your actually a robot you know, I think your too smart for your own good."
Baymax smiled, "I am here for you too."
I know, let's get back to work.
Back at the cinema, a very bored Hiro was nearly falling asleep. Karmi seemed really engrossed with the film, that she didn't notice, Hiro had fallen asleep next to her. It came to the part where Christian was tying Ana up and her screams woke Hiro up.
"what the? What is this? I thought this was ment to be a romance?"
"Why? Are we getting ideas, for later are we?" Karmi winked and nudged Hiro.
If Hiro could run right now, he would had run far away from Karmi and this whole movie. Hiro had seen plenty of romantic movies before with Aunt Cass, but this was something something completely different. The more he watched, the more disturbed he felt, suddenly starting to feel more like Ana, than Hiro Hamada.
After what felt like many hours, both Karmi and Hiro left the movie theatre. It was late afternoon/early evening and it was starting to get dark.
"Okay Karmi, it's time I take you home."
"Ugh no way, We agreed after the cinema, you would take me out for a romantic dinner, just the two of us."
"Do we really have to do this today? It's kind of getting late and I'm getting tired."
"Your tired? You slept through most of that film. Look I will make easier, why don't we go somewhere you want, as I picked the movie."
"hmmm, I've got the perfect place then." Hiro grinned
They walked around the city, until they stood outside this huge building. Rocket gaming centre and pizza emporium.
"You took me to a freaking arcade!" Karmi spat.
"yeah, it's my favourite place to eat." Hiro excitingly said.
The place was huge, two floors of arcade machines, with a huge pizza restaurant underneath.
As they went in though, Hiro spotted the rest of the gang sitting at a table.
"great that's all we need." Karmi thought bitterly to herself.
"Hiro!" Fred jumped up and came running over.
"Hey Karmi" Honey lemon smiled, as they now both approached there table.
"Hey guys," Karmi smiled through gritted teeth.
"Sup," Go Go said, popping her gum.
"So what brings you two here." Wasabi calmly taking a sip out of his coffee.
"Were on a date" Karmi happily announced.
The group went deathly silent.
"Oh, I thought Hiro was dating B.., arrrgh" Fred coughed, as Go Go quickly grabbed Fred from behind.
"Order 246, is ready."
"Ooh, ooh that's us." Fred jumped up and down, happily waving the receipt
"Oh I better order ours" Hiro panicked.
"Relax little man, we got more than enough." Wasabi smiled.
After they had all stuffed themselves with pizza.
"Ooh, who wants to go and check out the arcade, I got lots of coins for everyone." As Fred enthusiastically ran towards the arcade.
"Be there in a minute Freddy." Go Go huffed, full of pizza.
"Oh I herd this was the place that had the new purikura booth, come on Karmi, lets go and check it out."
"Okay Honey," karmi smiled, being dragged behind Honey.
"Okay guys, suppose the rest of us, should go and check it out too." Wasabi suggested.
Thats how they spent the rest of the afternoon, playing games. Go Go beating the highest score on death race 5, Hiro, getting the highest score on super bot fight 3. Wasabi playing pretty gardener, Fred trying to win every prize out of the crane machines. Karmi and honey taking there photo in pretty purikua and playing princess star dance revenge.
It was starting to get late, Hiro looked at his watch 7pm it read.
"Urm Karmi, I think it's best we start heading off, as I got to take you home."
"Oh, okay Hiro", Karmi sighed.
"Okay see you guys."
"Oh your leaving? Okay bye Hiro, bye Karmi." Everyone said as they left.
The weather had really really started to change and get colder and darker earlier.
"Brrr it's cold."
"Here karmi, take my jacket."
"Are you sure Hiro?"
"Yeah it's fine."
"Thank you, mmm smells like you."
Hiro blushed, as they made there way back to Karmi's home.
It looked like it was going to rain, so Hiro took the quickest route he knew back to Karmi's house.
They finally had arrived just outside.
"Are you sure you don't want to come in Hiro?"
"Sorry Karmi but I have to get back."
"It's okay I understand, thank you for today, it's been nice."
"Yeah, it's been good." Hiro smiled.
"well here's you jacket back."
"Oh thanks."
"Well bye."
Hiro went to leave, when Karmi grabbed his arm.
"You owe me something, mister." Karmi huffed.
"Oh yes."
Hiro grabbed Karmi and reached in, Karmi closed her eyes expectingly. Hiro reached in and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"There, see you on Monday." Hiro chuckled and ran off.
"That's not if your dead first! Mr Hamada." Karmi huffed, turning on her heels and stomping inside.
Hiro ran as fast as he could through the city in the pouring rain and on the way to the lucky cat cafe. But he finally made it to his Aunts cafe, fiddling with his keys and finally making it through his front door.
"Aunt Cass, Baymax, I'm home." Hiro panted, dripping wet. Taking off his sodden jacket and shoes and tossing them to the side.
He noticed the place was very silent and dark, apart from a eery glow coming from the top of the stairs.
"Ok, is anyone home?" Hiro called again, making his way upstairs.
The whole place was now in darkness, apart from the dinner table, which was made up for two people and had a candle glowing in the middle.
"Hello Hiro."
"Hey buddy," Hiro looked confused.
Baymax stood there with a pink frilly apron on.
Hiro smiled, "What's this all about?"
"I made you dinner." Baymax smiled.
"Hiro, suddenly feeling guilty about his date with Karmi, lost it and ran into Baymax's arms.
"I'm sorry I wasn't here today, buddy I really am."
"Hiro? Your all wet and your body temperature is low."
Baymax turned on his internal heating bringing him closer.
"Baymax? You know I love you right."
"Of course I do Hiro, I trust you."
When Hiro finally has dried off, he let go and smiled.
"Hey, where's Aunt Cass?"
"I believe she's gone on a date and will be back much later."
"Unbelievable," Hiro scoffed.
Hiro sat down at the table.
"You done this all yourself."
"Of course Hiro, I asked Aunt Cass what a date was and she said it was you go out to dinner and talk. I made your favourite."
Hiro sniffed, "Hot wings?"
"No, your second favourite."
"Oh you didn't."
"I did."
"Sukiyaki, with dumplings." Hiro drooled.
Hiro felt a pang of guilt, as he had eaten pizza earlier, he wasn't as hungry as usual and Baymax had gone to all this trouble for him.
Baymax dished his plate up and sat in the chair opposite.
"So Hiro, how was your date?"
Hiro gulped, almost choking on a dumpling. "Date?"
"Yes, a date with your friends?"
"Oh that, Maxi that's not a date, this is a date, it's with someone you love."
"Oh," Baymax blushed.
"It's okay, I was just meeting up and hanging out with my friends. It was okay."
"How was your day, buddy? Did you help out Aunt Cass okay?"
"Yes I did, I did most of the cooking and she did the serving."
Hiro struggled, but managed to force down his meal.
"Finished, thank you, that was really nice."
"It was my pleasure, please sit, I will do the dishes."
"Okay Maxi." Hiro sleepily yawned.
"Owch!" Hiro groaned, holding his tummy.
Baymax who had just finished the washing up, turned around to face Hiro. "Scanning, scan complete. Diagnosis, a stomach ache. Result, overeating. Solution, Rest and sleep should cure that."
"I was getting to that buddy." Hiro sleepily smiled.
"Let me help you." Maxi smiled, picking up a now sleepy Hiro.
Hiro didn't even complain, curling up closer.
They reached there room.
"What the?" Hiro remarked, looking around.
Baymax had adorned Hiro's room with the cafe's valentines decorations and fake rose petals on the bed.
Hiro slid down. "Baymax! What is all this?" Hiro stood there with his hands on his hips.
"I read somewhere, that giving gifts like chocolate, jewellery, drinks like wine and champagne and decorating the one you love's bedroom, with hearts and petals, is a sign of a affection. I can see I've got it wrong again." Baymax said, standing there, looking down with his hands behind his back.
"Baymax!" Hiro chuckled. "What am I going to do with you"
Hiro smiled, hugging Baymax again.
"I love you too much, to be angry at you, you big dope."
Tiptoeing, to give Baymax a kiss.
"Would you like a bath? I got candles, bath oils and petals."
Hiro laughed. "No, no, it's okay. Can we just go to bed please."
Baymax smiled, "Okay Hiro."
Hiro took him by the hand to bed, undressed and climbed in. Baymax went and tuned the light off and climbed in with him.
"Your temperature is still a little low." Baymax started to glow again. Hiro rolled over, but felt something.
"uh, Max are you still wearing that frilly apron?"
Baymax looked down "Urm, yes I am, should I take it off?"
"You think?"
Hiro rolled over smiling. "You dork."
Baymax rolled over, pulling Hiro closer. Hiro squished his back into maxi, pulling his arm over him and relishing the heat and squish.
"Love you Maxi."
Baymax rubbed his face into Hiro's hair, in a kiss. "Love you too Hiro, goodnight."
