I've uploaded this chapter and I'm still reluctant over the last scene but I think it'll make a mark, so yeah.
I don't own anything~
The following Monday was even more awkward for Hiro. With their little revelation about their 'relationship', their friends should see that they would act like they were in a relationship. GoGo insisted that they should keep up the cover so that they could spy more easily on their cases and check if someone was getting suspicious.
"Hey Honey Lemon," GoGo started
The girl called looked up from her textbook and turned to her friend beside her.
"Yes?" Honey Lemon asked
"What do you think of Hiro?" He continued
"Oh, I see how this is going." Honey Lemon grinned, "Hiro's kind and adorable, beautiful, of course."
"Okay." GoGo murmured, nodding
"Well, what do you think of her?" Honey Lemon questioned
"Hm," GoGo paused for a bit, "well she's beautiful, but then again, of course she should be beautiful, she's the daughter of a former model. She's a bit short but can I really judge with my height?" GoGo smiled, "And, well she's pretty nice, I guess and, even how much I hate it, strong and witty."
"I just hope you'll take care of her, GoGo, I mean, she is the kind of girl who doesn't deserve wrong treatment." Honey Lemon stated
"Oh, yeah, sure."
"One tip though, since she's still a minor, take care of her like you would a sister. She's still a kid, GoGo, she needs the help." Honey Lemon added
GoGo nodded then they both continued reading their books.
"Jack?" Hiro called as she laid down on her stomach on her bed
It had been approximately one and a half months since she and GoGo had their little 'incident'. Ever since then, she and GoGo had to stick with each other and endure the annoyance they felt extremely for one another. Hiro thought that GoGo did not change a bit since the microbot incident. He was still the same annoying little brat who wanted his way and goes with it even if everybody says so otherwise. But during the course of nearly two months, she realized that she could live with him without getting mad for about an hour or two.
"Hiro! It's the weekend!" Jack responded giddily from the other end of the line
"Yes." Hiro smiled, "You're coming over, right?"
"Oh, right, that." Jack cleared his throat, "Hiro, you see Hiccup and I can't go over there because it's been really busy here in the headquarters."
"But you've been telling me that for three weeks now." Hiro responded
"Yeah but the placement is still not official. The agents are almost rioting right now. You should've seen their faces when the bosses said that they're lessening." Jack announced
"Whoa, what? So who's gonna be removed?" Hiro asked
"Mostly the agents but I heard some news that you're not doing so well on the records. You need to step it up a notch if you want a follow up mission after this." Jack responded
"Don't worry, I'm going to finish this thing. And besides, how are they going to remove the precious darling of the society?" Hiro smirked
"Haha, very funny." Jack rolled his eyes, "But seriously, I just don't want you to get removed."
"I won't. I'm gonna do my job perfectly that they would ever regret thinking about removing me." Hiro stated
"Good then." Jack said, "Oh hey, can you go back here in a few weeks or so?"
"Yeah, sure. Why so?"
"Well the place has been missing you. You've been away for quite a long time now." Jack answered
"I'm gonna be home for Christmas, don't worry. I'll tell my friends here that I'm going to somewhere with my uncles and cousins." Hiro laughed
"Goodie." Jack smiled, "North's been planning extra stuff this year. He's been trying to contact all agents who are on duty and the retired ones. It's gonna be great!"
"Huh, so I've got the whole family for Christmas then. Nice. Tell North I'll be attending." Hiro nodded, "Well I gotta go now. My friends are waiting for me to have an online chat with them tonight."
"Okay. Don't stay up too late." Jack reprimanded
"Uh, hey Jack?"
"Yeah?"
Hiro bit her lip then sheepishly asked, "Can you be offline until tomorrow morning on my line?"
"Why?" Jack raised a brow, "Are you planning something?"
"Well, technically, yes. I'm gonna ask my friends what good gifts are for Christmas." Hiro answered
"Fine." Jack nodded
"I can check if you're really offline. You know that, right?" Hiro asked
Jack sighed, "Alright, fine. Offline for the night so it's all yours. Feel free to feel like a real teenage girl."
Hiro removed her earpiece and wiped it with a damp cloth, removing the invisible spray on it. She looked at the small light bulb and saw that it was not lit. She pulled out her laptop and connected to the Internet.
"Well finally." The person on the screen said, crossing his arms
Hiro rolled her eyes, "Stop it, Rider. I was talking to the headquarters."
"And you've been chatty." GoGo grumbled, "So what's the plan?"
"That's the thing. I'm still blank. I came here on September and it's late November and I've got nothing! I'm done! I'm never finishing it! Useless, empty brain!" Hiro yelled
"At least you finally admitted it." GoGo stated nonchalantly, "Look if you really wanna finish this early then you should've just skipped to the point and got it over with."
"But that's the thing. If I had a say on recruitment, I'm gonna go get him. He'll never fail me, I just know it." Hiro replied
"That's what you think. I don't suppose you've been in his laboratory, huh? He's been working on this medical robot for months and it's been eighty tries and he still hasn't finished it." GoGo said, "Like what I said, get it over with."
Hiro placed her face in her hands, "Rider, you don't understand. Tadashi's a nice guy and I'd hate to see him know something about the spy society."
"Don't tell me you like him!" GoGo exclaimed, "That is against the rules. You know that."
"I know that and I don't like him, for your information. I'm just afraid that if he knows about spies a little too early, I'd go against regulations and have him as a captive until he dies." Hiro looked at the boy, "You know what happened last year, remember?"
"I know, I know," GoGo grumbled, "you got someone locked up because they blew your cover. But that's not the point here, Takachiho. Until when are you going to wait for the right time? Until the time you get ultimately attached to him? Takachiho, you know your boundaries between civilians. They can never be trusted."
"But you trusted Honey Lemon. I think that proves something." Hiro pointed out
"That's cause I need to trust her. It's not my intention but she's for recruitment. If I'm not careful enough, she might be held captive, or worse, killed." GoGo stated
"So when am I gonna go strike again?"
"Now."
Hiro sighed and slumped. She cannot believe that she should finish the job already. Of course she was feeling a little bit homesick and she had to prove that she was to stay as a spy but with her current attachment with the older boy, could she still do it and reveal to him that she was a spy? She could not even harm one strand of his hair, let alone tell him about the whole secret spy society.
Oh what am I gonna do?
"Uh, Takachiho?"
Hiro snapped out of her train of thought then looked back at the boy she was video chatting with.
"If it makes you feel any better, your spying progress is quite faster than any I've ever seen." GoGo smiled ever-so-slightly, "You're not too bad yourself, Hiro."
Hiro furrowed her brows, "Is this video chat recorded or something?"
"What?"
"There's someone listening to me right now, huh?" Hiro asked
"What are you talking about, Hiro?"
"There!" Hiro pointed at him, "There it is again! You're saying my name and no one's around to hear this! You never call me by my first name when we're alone." She glared at him, "Who are you and what have you done to Agent Rider?!"
GoGo looked at Hiro incredulously, "Hiro, it's me, Agent Rider. No this is not recorded and no, I am all alone here. And what are you talking about?!"
"Well it's just surprising, really. I think it's really surprising that you know my name and address me by my name in private." Hiro answered
The doorbell rang and Hiro jumped up from her seat, holding the laptop in her arms.
"Dinner's here." She announced, "I think it's about time I give you a tour of my house."
Hiro went to the front door and paid the pizza and brought it over to her kitchen. She went around the house and showed the person on the other line her house.
"And this is my gadget closet." Hiro said then opened the third closet and unraveling the wonderful glory of the technology it held
Hiro went back to the kitchen and started to eat, the laptop in front of her.
"Whoa, why do you get all this stuff while I get a simple apartment?" GoGo asked
"They love the sweetheart." Hiro smirked, "Oh hey, keep me company, would you? Jack and Hiccup are supposed to be here right now but they can't so I guess I'm spending the weekend alone."
"I could say the same thing." GoGo inputted
"Have you eaten yet?" Hiro asked then took a bite from her food
"Not yet. I had to finish talking to you before I prepare my food." GoGo answered
"Well go ahead and do it while I'm online. I need someone to talk to." Hiro replied and GoGo obliged, "You know, for a non-talkative person, you talk alot at night."
"Yeah well you have to open up your thoughts every once in a while, right?" GoGo asked as he went around his tiny kitchen
"We should do this more often." Hiro suggested
GoGo placed the laptop and a plate of a ham sandwich and a tuna sandwich down on the table.
"Are you telling me that I should go talk to you more often?" GoGo asked
"Mhm." Hiro nodded then gulped down the bite she was chewing, "It should be cool, you know, spy to spy since we don't see much spies around the area?"
"Good thinking." GoGo agreed, "But I'd rather go make my bike faster than talk."
"If we're gonna pretend to be lovers, then pay attention to me." Hiro smiled at him playfully, "And besides, happy wife, happy life."
GoGo shook his head no, "You're not my wife." He ate down the remnants of the ham sandwich in his fingers
"Well that's how I feel." Hiro smirked, "You think I wouldn't notice the looks you'll give me when the others are around." Hiro laughed, "Agent Rider, this is blackmail, sweet, sweet blackmail."
GoGo pointed at Hiro, "I'm doing this for you, you know."
Hiro shrugged, "Hey, North's hosting the Christmas party this year and he's been inviting everybody, even the retired ones!"
"Wow, big blowout this year. Why didn't Bunny tell me this?" GoGo asked
"Maybe he was." Hiro responded, "Have you studied for Chemistry yet?"
GoGo raised a brow at her, "It's Friday. I've got two days to do so."
"Yeah but Chemistry's hard." Hiro frowned
"It's not." GoGo responded, "It's simple. All you have to do is listen to the professor."
Hiro rolled her eyes then repeated, "Chemistry is hard. It really is. I wish it was just as simple as Calculus but it's not."
The boy rolled his eyes, "Of course. You'll see Calculus as easier than Chemistry."
GoGo sighed, "Okay so now I've noticed how it's getting kinda lonely here."
Hiro nearly laughed, "That's our life for you."
"Wanna go to the Lucky Cat?" GoGo asked
"But I thought Tadashi lived at the Lucky Cat." Hiro answered
"Exactly. You get to have your spying done and you get great treats from his aunt. Isn't that great?" GoGo tilted his head to the right
"Alright, you got me. I'll see out outside the Lucky Cat in ten then." Hiro replied then closed off their chat
She went to her closet and pulled out her regular blue hoodie. The cloth was starting to get worn out with the constant and one too many washes it had. The hoodie had been Hiro's companion since she was sent to the orphanage. It was her father's hoodie before he gave it to her the night of the accident. The hoodie held so many memories to her and it never left her side whenever she needed it the most. She stepped out of the room then closed the door. She grabbed her phone which was next to her laptop and walked out the front door, only to stop to see a white box with a red ribbon wrapped around it. Hiro looked left and right for a clue on who placed the gift on her front porch. She crouched down on the ground then removed the ribbon. She cautiously opened the lid then she threw the lid of the box then gasped at the sight. Her hands racked nervously as she reached for the phone in her hoodie pocket. She quickly dialed the one person she knew could help her that moment.
"Yes, Takachiho? I thought we're meeting at the Lucky Cat?" GoGo asked
"R-Rider, I, fetch me. Now. I-I-I, go here. Now, p-p-plea-ase." Hiro stuttered, backing away from the door
Her back hit something and she almost yelped and quickly kicked whatever it was.
"What was that?" GoGo questioned
"Nothing. Nothing. Please, I need someone here." Hiro said then slammed the door shut
GoGo arrived at her house in fifteen minutes with the directions she sent to her. She opened the door, teary eyed, then quickly hugged the boy, letting her tears fall from her eyes. GoGo looked at the contents of the box then saw that it was a picture of Hiro opening the door, just that night, as she was paying and getting the pizza for her dinner. The photo was encased in a golden frame and the glass of the frame was shattered, the shards scattered in the box and blood was splattered on the picture. GoGo brought Hiro inside the house and sat her down on the couch.
"Is there someone who would probably do this to you?" GoGo asked the girl, holding her upper arms
"I don't, I don't know." Hiro tried to breathe properly, "S-Someone's out to get me. I have a feeling that the chandelier was for me. It was never for Tadashi!"
"Hiro, Hiro, look, it's not for you. It was plotted by Yama for Tadashi. Nobody is out to get you." GoGo stated
"You don't know that!" Hiro yelled as another batch of tears flowed down her face, "Someone is going to get me because I got them in trouble in some way! I hate it! I want this done! I want to stop this!"
"Hiro stop this." GoGo aid
"No! Rider, don't you see? I'm in danger out here and if I don't finish my job, I'm gonna be killed."
"Hiro!"
"Rider I'm serious, I-."
Hiro's eyes went wide as she stopped speaking because of the pair of lips pressed against hers. GoGo pulled away then looked at the girl.
"I did that to shut you up the last time. Hopefully it went well this time too." He stated, "Now Hiro, just breathe in deeply. I, I know that someone's out to get you now, I understand, but I won't let anything happen to you, understand?"
Hiro gulped then nodded.
"You're not going to be in any trouble. You'll make it out of this alive, I promise." GoGo continued, "We'll try to get you out of this okay?" He paused, "…Partners?"
Hiro nodded again then hugged him tight.
"Partners."
Yep, still doubting about that ending. But uh oh, who's threatening our dear little Hiro now? That's all for now. Review?
