Tadashi felt euphoric, he shook his head trying to clear his thoughts. He better not start screaming in the middle of the street. He stared dazedly at the door and then started walking slowly back to the cafe.

If someone heard an excited 'whoo', it wasn't him. No, sir.

"Sooo," Hiro began with a teasing grin. "Haru, eh?"

Tadashi tried to ignore him.

"Hm, I like him." Hiro said.

Tadashi did a double take. "Wha?"

"I said I like him." Hiro said shrugging nonchalantly. "He seems nice."

"You..."

"I approve." Hiro said tinkering one of his robots.

"Me too!" Aunt Cass voice sounded from downstairs followed by an excited meow from Mochi.

Tadashi covered his face and groaned.


*The next day 6:20*

"Try to be nice ok?" Haru said to Sirius. "For me?" He gave him the puppy eyes.

"Ugh, okay. I'll try to be nice."

"Thanks."

"At what time did he said he was going to come?" Sirius asked.

"Umm, 6:30." The doorbell resonated in the apartment.

"Oh, he is here!"

Sirius grumbled in the background.

Haru opened the door and greeted Tadashi. "Hi."

"Umm, hey."

Sirius appeared behind Haru and glowered at Tadashi. "Hello."

"H-hello, sir."

"Sirius!" Haru whispered.

"Umm, I brought this. Aunt Cass wanted me to give it to you." Said Tadashi showing the box.

"Thanks." Haru made a move to grab it but Sirius took it before he could.

"What is this?" He asked without looking up from the box. He opened it and took one of the little scones.

"It's a gift from Cass. She saw you liked them and made these especially for you."

"Thank her for me." Haru smiled.

"Ohmph, those are good!" Sirius exclaimed with a full mouth.

"Sirius! Don't you dare eat them all!" Haru warned.

"Yeah, yeah," He said distractedly taking another scone. "You go to your date before it gets late. And I want you back before 10, you heard me?"

'Wow, he agreed easily.' 'Why didn't it occurred to me to bribe him with food.'

"We should get going." 'Before he changes his mind.'

"Alright."

"Were are we going?"

"You asked me to show you around and I will."

"But it probably will take days." Haru protested.

"Well, if you see the city today then maybe we could continue another day." Tadashi said grinning.

"So that was your plan." Haru smiled.

"Yep, evil mastermind over there." Tadashi grinned.


The first stop was going to the plaza, the one where they meet.

Then the cinema. They talked about their likes in movies and shows.

And lastly, Tadashi showed him the San Fransokyo Institute.

"Are you sure you can show me the Institute?" Haru asked. "I don't wanna get you in trouble."

"It's alright. No one would mind."

"If you are sure."

"Come on." Tadashi made a gesture with his head to follow before he opened the door.

They walked into a big hall while Haru was looking everything with wide eyes.

"In there." Tadashi signaled another door.

"What exactly do you want to show me?" Haru said entering.

"You will see."

Inside were the student testing their inventions.

"Oi, Tadashi!" A female voice called.

"You are back already?" Another called.

Four students approached them. Two females and two males.

"Hey, guys." Tadashi greeted. "I'm showing Haru around the Institute."

"Hello." Haru waved.

All of them waved back.

"So you are the reason Tadashi was distracted lately?" A girl with short black hair with violet streaks said popping a bubble gum.

"Umm."

"Oh, it's amazing!" Another girl with long blonde hair exclaimed. "Tadashi got a boyfriend!"

Both Haru and Tadashi looked embarrassed. "Guys..."

"I don't know, I think they look perfect together." A slender guy said.

"Why didn't you tell us?" A dark skinned guy asked Tadashi.

"We aren't together okay!" Tadashi exploded.

Everyone fell silent.

"He's lying." The first girl said nonchalantly.

"No, I'm not." Tadashi persuaded. "We just met yesterday."

"But you want to." She said popping another bubble.

Tadashi fell silent. Haru looked at him surprised.

"You want to?" He asked. "To actually be..."

"Alright, see ya." Everyone left them alone.

"Yeah, I do." Tadashi said softly looking away.

"I would like that."

Tadashi smiled. "So, what I wanted to show you, is on this way."

They entered a room separated from the other. "Every student has their own work study. This is mine."

It was a spacious room with a window the size of the wall. There were graphics on the walls with sketches that looked to be drawn by Tadashi.

"Wow, those are yours?" Haru said pointing the drawings.

"Yeah, every idea is either written on my journal or drawn."

"And do yo-" Haru was cut off by a beeping sound.

"Ah, sorry. I still have to work that one." Tadashi said pointing to a little robot on a desk.

"Hiro is obsessed with bot-fighting, and I try everything I can to make him stop, just for him to ignore me and going anyways."

"He is young, he needs something to distract him." Haru reasoned.

"Have you showed him the Institute?" He asked.

"No, I was planning to when he graduates." Tadashi said, "If he ever does." He sighed.

"I'm sure he will, you will just have to be persuasive," Haru said looking thoughtful.

"I think I got an idea." He said looking at Tadashi.
