BE MY NIGHTINGALE
Sypnosis : The first time they met wasn't exactly the most romantic. It wasn't something where you'd think sparks flew or red ties of fate tightened or butterflies squirmed in one's stomach or something like that. It was the time where both of them were riding the train wreck of emotions and panic as the 'incident' occurred. It was the time where one would not think about romantic relationship with each other. It was the time where both their siblings got eaten to death in the raging fire of the building at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology.
Chapter 1 : Smoking Hot
When the child prodigy, Hiro Hamada, first saw her, she was smoking hot. Literally smoking hot. A part of her hair was singed and a bloody cut lacerated her pale skin on the side of her head. She seemed to be pushed off from the building – perhaps a millisecond before the big explosion. The girl was sprawled halfway into the stairs
Hiro was confused in what to do. A part of him wanted to leave her to be found by the emergency kit and ran inside the still-burning to find Tadashi as he refused to accept the fact that he must've died from the big outburst. Another part of him just wanted to lie down beside the girl and pretend to be dead.
The raven-haired boy was numb to the bones; the hot and cold breeze didn't made him shiver even the slightest bit. Hiro just wanted to hear Tadashi's voice again. He just wanted his brother to pat his shoulder and tell him that it's alright. He just wanted him here, beside him. As selfish as that might've sounded in the thoughts of others, he just wanted his onii-san back. One minute he's there, and then he's gone.
"Hiro! Oh my goodness, are you alright?" He heard a familiar voice yell and foosteps rushed towards his general direction. His throat became tight as if his heart was threatening him to jump away from his system. He didn't know what to say to her. He didn't even know what to think!
The boy-genius looked up at his aunt, eyes teary and panicked. He was glad that it was a bit dark because it would be embarrassing to break down now. "I-I'm al-alright, Aunt Ca-Cass." He stuttered, the lump of his throat getting worse and worse by the second. He hugged the woman in effort to hide his face as the tears fell down. He can't be gone, Hiro thought to himself. Surely, he would've saved the professor and his self before the blast! Tadashi is the best in getting people out of trouble!
"Where's your brother?" His guardian asked the dreaded question, her voice calm but shaky. She caressed Hiro's messy locks in attempt to serene the thoughts of the seemingly muddled teen. The boy sniffled and shook his head, murmuring something under her embrace. The woman frowned and looked at the fiery inferno infront of them then back at the raven haired teen, "Did he. . . went in the building?" Cass gulped, expecting for the worse as Hiro's actions makes no sense if Tadashi was okay. The boy nodded his head painfully slow and the older woman tightened her hug, joining Hiro's grief and lament.
"GUUUYS!" Fred shouted as he and the others ran towards the two. "ARE YOU AL. . . right?" He faltered, seeing Hiro and Cass in an aura of misery.
"Where's. . .?" Honey Lemon started but stopped abruptly as realization clicked. She's looking for the reason why Hiro and his aunt were crying.
Tadashi's gone.
It all processed in their heads slower than solving a complex scientific problem for the fact that they all didn't expected it. Tadashi was a good person. Perhaps too good for his own sake.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Cass, Hiro." Wasabi spoke up after a moment of silence, sharing his condolences to the two.
"It's-It's not your f-fault, Wasabi. No-nor a-anybody's fault." Cass said, hiccupping as she tried to stop herself from crying further. Hiro needed someone strong and on Cass' perspective, she is the only one he can depend on as a parent.
GoGo stared at the fiery building, not really trying to accept Tadashi's demise. "You are really stupid, Hamada." She spat in venom as she knew what would've triggered him in running up the dangerous scorching structure. Then that's when she found an unconscious bloody girl. The short –haired girl blinked and thought to herself, she's one lucky girl to not get burned to death. "Honey, Wasabi, Fred, call the medics! We've got someone injured here!"
