Hey everyone! So I finally saw Big Hero 6 recently, and I loved it to pieces. So what do I do when I love something to pieces?

I produce fanworks, of course!

I got this little plot bunny the other day while I was thinking about how Hiro would act if he were to ever get a crush on someone. This was originally supposed to just be a little oneshot, but who knows? Maybe I'll expand on it.

Hope you like!

Disclaimer: I do not own Big Hero 6.

Something was definitely wrong with Hiro.

Well, maybe not wrong per se, but the rest of the team certainly noticed a change come over him as the school semester passed. It wasn't just the physical kind, everyone already knew about those. Having just turned fifteen during the past year, Hiro was well on his way into what Baymax had previously diagnosed as "puberty."

He had grown taller – shot up a full five inches – and his voice had gotten slightly deeper as well. Although he retained the scrawny frame from his youth, he had filled out quite nicely. And, true to Baymax's prediction, he had hair. Everywhere.

That being said, no one on the team was concerned about Hiro's physical changes. The emotional changes, however? Those were something else.

His normally friendly demeanor had heightened considerably – he was always smiling as of late – and he seemed to walk with a spring in his step. He was also spending a lot more time in front of the bathroom mirror. Actually, whenever he passed any reflective surface at all, he would quickly glance over, run his fingers through his hair, and continue on his way like nothing had happened. For a boy who previously didn't give a damn about the way he looked, it was highly suspicious.

After much debate amongst themselves, a few scans by Baymax, and several top-secret missions carried out by both Fred and Wasabi, they had their answer.

Hiro was in love.

Now the only question was:

With whom?

After several more weeks consisting of more debates amongst themselves, more secret missions by Fred, and interrogating Hiro until he was red in the face, they finally got their answer on a simple trip to the hardware store.

Wasabi needed some new parts for his tool kit (they mysteriously kept disappearing), while Gogo wanted some new upgrades for her bike. As the group walked towards the store, none of them noticed Hiro subconsciously glance at his reflection in the window and smooth his hair into place. Standing up a little straighter, he followed the others through the front door.

Behind the register, there stood a teenage girl with long red hair that was held back in a high ponytail. When she saw the group enter, she gave them a smile.

"How're you guys doing today?"

Everyone responded accordingly, but when Hiro spoke up, the girl gave a small laugh.

"You again?"

"Yeah," he shrugged nonchalantly. "Just needed to pick up a few things."

"That you didn't remember last time?" The girl raised her eyebrow in response, but the smile never left her face.

"What can I say?" Hiro said sheepishly. "I'm a little scatterbrained."

"I would agree," said the girl. "But I'm not allowed to insult customers directly."

"What about your lab partner?" Hiro grinned.

"He can come talk to me when he emails those plans he promised last week." The girl crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow.

"I'm working on it!" Hiro raised his hands in defense. "I've just been very busy lately, that's all."

"Sure you have," the girl rolled her eyes. "Buying up the entire store!"

"I-!" Hiro sputtered. "I need a lot of parts!"

"Mhmm," said the girl. "Would any of those parts happen to be for our semester project? Because if so, I'll gladly give you my employee discount."

"No, that's okay." Hiro blushed. "You don't have to do that."

The girl shrugged. "Suit yourself." Gesturing her head towards the aisles, she said, "I assume you know where you're going by this point?"

"Yeah, I'm good."

"Alrighty then," she leaned against the wall behind the counter. "Just yell if you need anything."

"Will do!" Hiro scampered off to his desired aisle, while the others, who had been secretly watching the conversation unfold, exchanged knowing smiles.

Jackpot.

Once everyone had gotten what they needed, they formed a line at the front of the register to pay. When it was Hiro's turn, he set his things down and waited for the girl to scan them in.

"That'll be $21.80." she said.

"What?" Hiro was confused. "I thought it was-"

"I gave you my employee discount." The girl smiled. "No need for you to go broke while you get what you need."

Hiro felt his heart flutter as he smiled back and paid for his items. "Thank you."

"No problem. But I expect that email in my inbox!"

"I'll get it to you, I promise." Hiro waved to the girl. "See you tomorrow!"

"Bye!" she waved back, before Hiro turned around and exited the store. Once he got outside, he found the others waiting expectantly for him, all wearing that knowing look from inside the store.

Noticing all their stares, Hiro raised an eyebrow. "What?"

Wasabi cocked his head towards the store. "You know that girl?"

"Uh, yeah." Hiro shifted nervously. "She's my lab partner."

"Oh," Wasabi raised a knowing eyebrow. "Is that all?"

"Yes?"

Gogo smirked. "Not for long."

"What?!"

"C'mon Hiro," said Fred. "We saw you talking to her."

"How many times have you been in that place?" asked Honey.

"Just a few!" cried Hiro. "Really!"

"Suuuuure," Gogo rolled her eyes. "That's why you've bought up the entire store, right?"

"Admit it, Hiro." said Wasabi. "You've got it bad."

"No I don't!"

"Yes you do."

"No I don't!"

"Actually, it kinda seems like you do." Fred interjected.

"Aww, leave him alone guys." said Honey. "He's turning red."

Horrified, Hiro brought a hand up to his face. Sure enough, the skin there was flushed a deep crimson color and emitting an intense amount of heat.

"Sorry, bud." Fred apologized. "But seriously, you should totally ask her out sometime."

"No." Hiro said firmly.

"But you'd make such a great couple!" He insisted. "'Cause you know, she's so tall, and you're so, um… not as tall but still tall enough, know what I mean?"

"What Fred is trying to say," interposed Honey. "Is that you shouldn't be scared to ask her out. From what I can tell, I think she really likes you too."

Her words definitely made Hiro feel better, but at the moment, he was too embarrassed to dwell any more on it.

"Thanks, guys." he muttered.

I may add more parts to this later, but it probably won't be as organized as my chapter stories lol.

Have a merry Christmas (if you celebrate it), and a wonderful holiday season! I hope you get lots of presents and time with the people you love :)

Love,

Liz
