A/N: The last paragraph is kinda smutty. So if you think that would ruin the fic for you then maybe don't read it aha.

A year later, Hiro had just turned 17 and passed his driving test. He was always a quick learner and pretty much aced it in no time at all. Shortly after passing, he got the keys to his first car from Cass as a late birthday present. A couple weeks later, he now found himself driving on a lovely Saturday afternoon, with the love of his life in the passenger seat and her whole life packed in bags at the back of the car. Hiro put the radio on and switched it over to the music channel. They started singing along to the song playing.

Yeah, you and me we can ride on a star

If you stay with me, girl, we can rule the world

Yeah, you and me we can light up the sky

If you stay by my side, we can rule the world

Hiro looked over at Karmi and squeezed her hand tight. They were stronger than ever and at the peak of their lives. And today was a massive milestone in their journey. They reached their destination and pulled up in a car park. Karmi breathed in and out and looked over excitedly at Hiro.

'Well! This is it! It's really happening!' Hiro rubbed his thumb on Karmi's hand and looked just as excited for Karmi.

'Yeah it's really happening babe! I'm so proud of you.'

'Thanks, babe. You've really been there for me every step of the way, just like you said you would be.'

'Of course I have. And I'll be there for every other step. Everything is finally clicking into place for both of us. This is the beginning of bigger and better things. The future is now. And I just know you're going to be an absolute star here. Now, let me help you with the bags!'

Hiro rubbed her leg and then got out and grabbed as many bags as he could. Karmi carried a few with her too. They walked up to the entrance of a tall block building. The front sign read: San Fransokyo Medical School Student Dorms. Of course this meant Karmi had accepted her place at the institution.

'I just can't believe I'm back here in San Fran with you and about to study the course of my dreams.'

'Well, it's a good thing you managed to convince your parents to let you come.'

'And I owe that to you and the guys, Hiro. They were a lot happier when they knew I'd be under the personal protection of Big Hero 6. If only they knew the half of it.' Hiro laughed.

'Well, best not to tell them, eh? Plus this side of town hardly gets much trouble. And since we took down The Eliminator, there's not been much of a threat anyway.' Karmi smiled at him.

'Well, regardless. I'm under the protection of the great Captain Cutie himself, so I think I'll be just fine. Now, help me take these up to my room.'

Hiro nodded and then they climbed a few flights of steps until they reached Karmi's room. She turned the key in the lock and they dropped the bags down inside. It was quite a nice little pad she had, with a very modern en-suite bathroom and plenty of room.

'Well, this is home for the foreseeable future…'

'Well, here and the Lucky Cat of course. There's always room for you there. You have two homes now, babe. We can take it in turns staying round each other's places. I'll stay the night with you here, if you want.'

Karmi shook her head and couldn't stop herself from smiling as wide as she could.

'That just sounds ridiculous after the last 2 years. But God is this going to be great! You're welcome here anytime too babe, of course. I'm gonna need you here a lot actually...' She winked at him.

'Oh, really? You're gonna need me, huh? Well, I'm right here right now.'

Hiro picked Karmi up and lowered her on the bed and kissed her. Karmi kissed him back and almost got carried away. She pushed him to the side.

'Hehe, that's enough. Get the rest of my bags and help me settle in first, then maybe you'll get more.' Hiro whined and pouted.

'Ugh, fine. I'll be back in a minute.' Hiro rolled his eyes playfully and winked at Karmi as he left. Karmi just gave him sass back and stuck her tongue out.

Five minutes later, Hiro returned with the rest of the bags and unpacked everything. After everything was put in its right place, Hiro and Karmi crashed out on the bed out of breath.

'That took the life out of me,' said Hiro.

'Me too,' agreed Karmi.

Their eyes shifted over to each other. Karmi giggled mischievously and rolled on top of Hiro. She gave him a cheeky look and then round 2 kicked off explosively. Limbs fumbled about and their lips smacked together rapidly. Once they had got it all out of their system, they laid back on the bed, holding hands and watching the TV they just set up. Then they heard people talking outside. Some of Karmi's flatmates had arrived. They went out to meet them and introduced themselves. Once they had become acquainted, Hiro and Karmi walked into the shared kitchen and caught a glimpse of their surroundings. They had a perfect view of the Golden Gate and watched as the sun set over it. It was a sign of good things to come…

Two months later, Karmi was settling in amazingly well to life at Medical School. She still wasn't entirely sure what specific path she wanted to go down, but she was just happy to be where she really wanted to be and where her heart had always been. In San Fran. Meanwhile, Hiro was undergoing his final year at SFIT and had already started planning for life post-SFIT. His internship with Krei Tech Industries was proving to be worthwhile, as Krei himself promised Hiro a high position in the company, that he would be welcome to take whenever he was ready. Like Karmi, Hiro wasn't entirely sure yet if he was going to take it or follow Karmi to university, but he had a lot of time to think about it.

Christmas was approaching fast now, a very fond time of year for Hiro and Karmi indeed. Despite their brief breakup last year, they still considered Christmas to be their anniversary, which was now their 2nd year together. It was a special enough time of year in itself, but it was so much more to them. A lot had changed in those 2 years. Hiro and Karmi definitely hadn't had the easiest time of it at points, but was love ever easy? Certainly not. And it was even harder for Karmi when your other half was a superhero, which brought trials and tribulations for them like last Halloween. But it was definitely worth it. That Halloween night was a long time ago now… And what of The Eliminator you might ask? Nobody had heard a peep from him in the last year. Some say he's completely lost his mind in solitary confinement, in the most secure prison in the world, with not a soul to speak to. Others say he's just biding his time and patiently waiting to exact his revenge and mould the world into his metal paradise. Nobody really knew, but everyone was safe for now under the careful watch of Big Hero 6.

As far as Hiro and Karmi were concerned, they were only focused on building a life together now and their relationship never stopped taking new twists and turns. They were only a fifteen minute drive away from each other now, so they had a lot more quality time together. Naturally, this allowed them to explore new dimensions to their relationship. As they stayed with one another, they slowly began to experiment and indulge in other forms of intimacy. Eventually, this led to them consummating their relationship one day and they continued to make love whenever they could. In what ways you may wonder? Sometimes, Hiro played out Karmi's favourite fantasy and wore his super suit to bed and roleplayed as Captain Cutie for the night. One word in his Captain Cutie voice turned her to goo every single time. The bed would be creaking in no time. On one occasion, Karmi surprised Hiro and came out of the bathroom wearing nothing but her lab coat. Hiro immediately stopped what he was doing and stared at her in blissful awe. Karmi smirked seductively and the lab coat fell to the floor. Within seconds, Hiro had his trademark goofy grin plastered across his face and then looked down at a growing bulge in his pants. Karmi giggled excitedly and made her way over to the bed. Hiro watched Karmi's hand trail teasingly over his pants. After several gentle strokes, Karmi slowly wriggled her hand down his pants. Hiro flung his head back and closed his eyes in pleasure. Then Karmi started to rub Hiro's… Well. The rest is best left to the imagination…
