This story isn't going to be super organized into anything with a specific plot, it's more of a series of little moments involving Baymax becoming way too invested in Hiro's love life. The girl Hiro has a crush on in this is an OC but she's not the focus at all, in fact I intend to involve her as little as possible so I don't get in the way of the canon characters. Anyway, enjoy!


Attraction


It started with a forkful of rice.

It was funny how a seemingly innocuous collection of white and somewhat tasteless food objects had the power to turn someone's life upside down. And had Hiro Hamada simply taken the time to blow on the rice to cool it, perhaps the resulting turns of events would have been avoided. But Hiro was paying very little attention to his food as he stared at his computer screen. He was completely engrossed in a conversation he was having and ordinary things like hot food didn't register as important enough to warrant his immediate attention.

In hindsight, he really should have paid more attention to what he was putting into his mouth.

"Ouch!" he exclaimed as the steaming rice burned his tongue. In a second, he had managed to coat his desk in rice and spit as he tried to extricate the hot objects from his mouth. "Owwww..."

The sounds of rapid inflation emanated from a spot behind him and soon a large, white, balloon-like object was waddling toward him as rapidly as it could.

"Hello, Hiro." came the familiar voice from a point just above the boy's head. "I was alerted to your need for medical attention when you said 'ouch.'"

"I'm fine." Hiro said dismissively. "Just burned my tongue."

"In the interest of making sure you receive the best care, I will perform a scan." Baymax looked the boy up and down, his eyes, for lack of a better word, narrowing. "Scan complete." there was a pause as the robot tilted his head to one side, almost as if he was curious.

The brief silence was enough to engage Hiro's curiosity. He spun around on his swivel chair to face his friend.

"Something wrong?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"My scan indicated that you are in good health. However, I am picking up an increased heart rate and elevated hormone levels. These are indications of attraction."

Oh no.

"Ah, thanks for your help but your scan must be malfunctioning." Hiro attempted to push the robot toward his power station. "I'm just fine."

Baymax remained where he was. "Might I inquire as to the object of your attraction?"

"No! Not necessary!" Hiro exclaimed, leaping up and attempting to cover the computer screen with his hands.

"I see that you are engaging in an online conversation with your new classmate." Baymax paused for a second. "Are you attracted to her?"

"No!" Hiro shouted far too quickly. "Not at all!"

"I detect a rise in blood pressure and increased heart rate. This seems to indicate embarrassment." Baymax said, tilting his head to the side. "There is no need to be embarrassed. Sexual attraction is a natural stage of puberty."

"That's not why I'm embarrassed!" Hiro ran his hands over his face before taking a deep breath and trying to be patient with his robotic buddy. "All right, you have done your scan and there are no medical emergencies. I am sat-"

"Would you like me to ascertain if she is also attracted to you?" Baymax continued, swiftly interrupting Hiro's attempt to deactivate him.

"No!"

"Scan complete. Results are inconclusive." Baymax said almost automatically. Hiro was beginning to regret not lowering his robot's scanning range. "Might I suggest a romantic gesture so that I can scan her as she responds accordingly?"

"Romantic gesture?" Hiro felt his face grow hot.

"I would recommend giving her flowers or chocolates." Baymax plowed on.

"No! I'm fine, Baymax! No need to get involved!" Hiro waved his hands in front of his face as if he was pushing the idea of his nosy robot interfering with his nonexistent love life as far away as possible. "I am satisfied with my care!"

Baymax stared at him for a second before waddling back to his power station and deactivating. Hiro breathed a sigh of relief. Finally that awkward conversation had come to an end.

Unfortunately for Hiro, that was just the beginning.


I know it's short but I don't intend to make these super long anyway. Special thanks to Miss Pookamonga for the idea and night-fury-baby for proofreading.

Don't forget to review! Knowing me, I'll probably forget I wrote this if I think no one is reading it.
