Inspired by: Tadashi and Honey meet when Tadashi finds Honey's lost pet.
Honey just couldn't believe it. One moment, she'd been standing there looking at a flower, dog leash in hand, and the next- it was gone. She'd tried to chase after her sweet little hyperactive puppy, but he was just too fast for her. She'd been searching for two hours now, and it was almost dark. Honey wiped away yet another tear that slipped from her eyes. She knew that she should go home at this hour, but she didn't want to just give up. Maybe she could go home and then search again in the morning…make some flyers and post them around town…
"Hey, buddy, are you lost? Come here, it's okay…err…Finn? Is that your name, Finn?" Honey came around the corner and saw a boy about her age bent over and trying to read her puppy's name tag.
"Finny! Come here, Finny!" she called. The puppy ran into Honey's arms immediately, barking with glee. She sighed in relief, cuddling Finn in her arms. "Don't you run off like that again, okay? You had mommy worried."
"I guess you're the owner?" the boy asked, looking just as relieved as she did. Honey nodded, feeling a bit shy around this stranger. He held out his hand, "Tadashi."
"Honey Lemon," she replied softly, shaking his hand. "Thanks for finding him- I've been out here for hours and was just about to give up."
"Glad I found him then…" Tadashi trailed off, giving her a scrutinizing look. "Sorry, this might sound weird, but…have I seen you somewhere before? You don't happen to go to SFIT, do you?"
Honey's eyes widened in shock. "U-Uh, yeah, actually, I do. I'm mostly in the chem labs," she added on. "What about you?"
"Inventing," he said, smile growing wider. "I guess I'll see you around, then?"
"Y-Yeah, sure," she stuttered.
Tadashi started to turn away, but stopped himself. "If you ever need any help studying, just swing by the invention labs. Room 24A." He gave a friendly wave before he stuck his hands in his pockets and strolled away.
Honey blushed, standing there feeling just a bit flustered.
