Aunt Cass slowly drifted from her slumber as she heard the alarm clock rung from her cell phone. Annoyed by its cheerful sounds, she set the phone on the snooze button for a few minutes. The sounds of birds chirping their melody filled the room beside her bedroom window. The rays of sunshine beamed its rays into the room, bouncing into the eyes of Aunt Cass. Blinded by its rays, she grabbed her pillow and shifted herself away from the rays. As she turned, she was at nose length with the sleeping Hiro.
Hiro was sleeping soundly beside Aunt Cass. She had forgotten that he spent the night with her on her bed. Aunt Cass watched his shallow breaths. She could tell he was in deep sleep. She observed on how mature he has become. He is no longer a little boy, she thought to herself. She began stroking his black hair, noticing how soft it was. She frowned upon seeing the sight of the black eye around his eye. It was healing, but it still was not a pretty sight. The other marks were fading away and that made her happy. She prayed that Hiro would not get caught up in another predicament like that again. Then, she placed her around and caressed his cheek. The feeling on her soft, gentle hands caused Hiro to nudge against it, as if he was familiar to the hands on the other side of his eyelids.
Aunt Cass sat up against the bedpost and stretched her arms to begin the day. Making her peace with nephew and her nightmares were passed away. This was going to be a great new day for Aunt Cass as she proclaimed in her mind. Knowing it was not long before opening the café, she nudged the sleeping Hiro from his slumber.
"Five more minutes," said Hiro as he was talking in sleep. He grabbed the covers and turned away from Aunt Cass. Looking at this an opportunity, Aunt Cass decided to play a game with Hiro. She crept slowly beside him. Careful to not wake the sleeping giant, she slowly placed her hand inside of his shirt. She knew that Hiro was very sensitive and ticklish to the touch. It was no surprise when he quickly jolted by the feeling of Aunt Cass's hand rubbing and tickling his chest and his hips. He fell out of bed and on to the ground. Confused and disoriented, he looked around to check his surroundings. He gazed over to see the smiling Aunt Cass on her knees from the bed.
"Good morning, sleepy head," Aunt Cass said in a glee. "Good morning, Auntie," said Hiro. Hiro, still in the state of shock of that wake-up call trying to adjust himself. He felt a sharp pain coming from his butt, but tried overlook it. Suddenly, Aunt Cass jumped from bed and walked to Hiro. She got on her knees and perched over Hiro.
"Are you ready to begin your punishment," asked Aunt Cass. "Punishment," questioned Hiro in the state of confusion. "I will remind you, my dear nephew," Aunt Cass said as she walked away from Hiro and walked into the bathroom. She opened the door, making sure that Hiro was listening to her.
"Remember last night when I told you all was forgiven," said Aunt Cass, reminding Hiro of last night's conversation. She took off her nightgown and placed it in the hamper. She was wearing a plain cotton white bra and plain cotton panties. They were not for sex appeal, but her beauty would question the subtlety of its undergarments. "Yeah, I…" Hiro said before being interrupted by the sight of seeing his aunt in her undergarments. His flushed by the sight of seeing his aunt like that. In the many years he had lived with his aunt, never in his life had he seen her in her bra and panties. Not even once he had tried to see her naked. When Aunt Cass caught sight of the blushing Hiro and realized that he was there, she blushed. "Cover your eyes, you pervert," shouted Aunt Cass while blushing. Hiro did what he was told.
"Anyway," said Aunt Cass, "I told you that you are to be grounded for two weeks." She turned to make sure that Hiro averted his eyes away from her. She went into her drawer to get a chance of clothing. As she was putting her clothes on, she continued to talk. "Since you are grounded, you can't hang out with your friends. No television, no computer, and that even mean no Baymax." Once she put on clothes, she told Hiro that he can open his eyes. "I want you straight home after school. You are to call me when you are leaving school to make sure that you are coming home. Another thing, I will have your phone." "Really Aunt Cass," asked Hiro surprisingly as he made a disapproving face. Aunt Cass furrowed her brow at Hiro for his facial expression. He quickly changed his look. "Yeah, your phone. And last time, I had checked, Hiro Hamada's name is not on the phone bill," Aunt Cass said very sternly.
In her mind, Aunt Cass felt very peculiar with this decision. It was coming back from the books that her therapist gave her. She wanted control of her life and that included disciplining Hiro. You may not like it now, but you will thank me later, she thought to herself. "Oh, one more thing. You are to help me out in the restaurant when you come home from school.
Instead of further protesting, Hiro thought it will be easier to give in to her demands. He had two options: either argue with Aunt Cass and face serious trouble or serve out his two weeks. He chose the latter, the lesser of two evils. "Yes, ma'am. Got it. No phone, no computer, no Baymax, straight home after school, and work at the restaurant."
"Good, I am glad that you are making a smart decision. I am proud of you," said Aunt Cass as she picked up Hiro from the floor. "Now, get dressed," she told Hiro, "Because your punishment begins now." Hiro was stunned on how excited his aunt was. For whatever reason, he could not help but to smile. "Got it," said Hiro as he left the bedroom to prepare for his punishment (for his day).
