CHAPTER 3

Days were getting longer and longer, and Hiro was getting tired of filming so much, but he couldn't lie, it was rather enjoyable to act with the rest of them. Though he couldn't tell whether that outweighed the amount of sleep he gets every day, which by the way, isn't enough. Hiro had barely any time to hang out with Tadashi off set, which to his dismay, really didn't seem to bother Tadashi all that much. Though the shorter male was told, that they would have a day off, to let the actors "recharge" and relax. Thankfully, that day was coming up, (it was tomorrow, if you wanted to be specific)and Hiro knew exactly what he would do. Absolutely nothing.

Tadashi had a smile on his face; it was the greatest idea for the day off! He would take Hiro to an amusement park and they would ride roller coasters and Ferris wheel and he would buy him candy floss, and ice cream, it would be the best day! He could pay for the expenses and everything, now he just has to get Hiro to go with him. I mean, of course all it is, is a full day devoted to them hanging out, and being together, not a date, just us hanging out, He did offer to take me to a restaurant and that turned out very well… the older actor thought to himself, then again It's been months since the two actually hung out. Tadashi slowly approached Hiro, who was leaning against a wall, his phone in hand, supposedly playing a game.

"Hey, Hiro!" Tadashi called out to the other with a smile on his face, his hands slightly fixing his blazer and patting down his pants a little.

Hiro let out a small sigh as his gaze moved from his phone to Tadashi "Hey, what's up, nerd?" he asked.

He pulled his hands away and crossed his arms, rolling his eyes "One, don't call me nerd, you knucklehead, and two, I was wondering what you were going to do for the day off?" Tadashi asked.

"Well, ta-dork-shi, I was planning on doing basically nothing, why do you ask?" he questioned his head cocked to the side slightly; maybe he wanted to spend some time with him? Oh that would be the best news to the smaller actor.

"Well, I was already planning to go to an amusement park"— Lie no. 1—"And I didn't really want to go alone, and I already asked the others"—Lie no. 2—"And since you're available, maybe we could hang out? I have all the expenses covered," Well, that one was true. Tadashi was shifting from foot to foot as he waited for an answer from Hiro.

"Weelllllllll I guess I can," Hiro teased as he looked at him "No, but seriously that sounds super cool," Hiro said as he smiled "How would transportation work? Can you pick me up?" he asked.

"Yeah, I can do that, or y'know, you could drive there yourself," Tadashi answered, with a slight shrug.

"Yeah, but you owe me, cause I drove you back home the first time we went out," Hiro responded with a huff.

"You still remember that?" Tadashi asked, as did Tadashi but he hadn't expected him to think of it either,

Hiro sighed; of course he remembered it, unless Tadashi thought it was so irrelevant it wasn't important enough to remember "… Yeah, I guess so," he said shrugging, trying to seem rather apathetic about it.

"Ah, I thought I only remembered it, and the fact you got mac 'n' cheese at a fancy Italian restaurant…" Tadashi said as he shook his head, as if he, to which Hiro let out a "Ha," and punched him in the side; Tadashi would be lying if he said that it didn't hurt.

"Regardless of what food you got, I remembered the date," Tadashi said as he shrugged.

"Oh, well that's good, 'cause I would feel weird if I only remembered it…" Hiro said, his voice trailing off as an awkward air settled around them. Tadashi let out a soft breath as he ran a hand through his hair.

"Well, I need you to give me your address so I can pick you up tomorrow," The taller male said, to which Hiro just handed him his phone.

"Put your number, ill text you it!" He explained as the other nodded, fumbling a little with it as he put in his number and his name (though it would be changed to "Nerd" as soon as Hiro got it back.)

The two parted their ways as the day of filming slowly ended, and once again Hiro was exhausted, the only thing that was currently holding his life was being able to hang out with Tadashi for a full day tomorrow. Hiro went home, texted Tadashi his address and flopped down onto his bed and smiled a little, rather excited for tomorrow, which was definitely mutual on Tadashi's side. Who, by the way, was finding it hard to fall asleep.

As the morning came, Tadashi already knew what time he was going to pick up Hiro, how he was going to get there, what he was going to say, and how he will escort Hiro to his car. Tadashi really wanted this to be perfect.

Hiro was panicking, I mean, what does someone wear to a day at the amusement park!? Does he go casual? Or maybe he tries to fancy it up? No, no, no… and it didn't help that his cat was walking all over his clothes, dammit who knew it would be so difficult to dress for this?

After basically an hour of choosing he decided to wear a regular stripped shirt and some skinny jeans, something he couldn't seem to figure out with so much time. Sadly, his hair was a lost cause, so he didn't even bother expect running his fingers through it for a little. Tadashi got into his car and went to drive to Hiro's place, his fingers nervously drumming the wheel.

Hiro was rather worried as he knew Tadashi was very punctual and the time was slowly creeping closer to the time he was meant to be picked up. Hiro was pacing up and down, right, maybe he was a little nervous; 'I mean what if I do something stupid?' As these thoughts slowly consumed Hiro, there was a knock at his door and a soft voicing saying "It's Tadashi!"

Hiro's heart leapt as he went to get the door, he opened it up and Tadashi, as usual, was looking amazing, and like Hiro: nothing too fancy, thankfully. Hiro smiled looking up at Tadashi "So we ready to go Kuncklehead?" The taller one asked.

"As long as you are, dork," Hiro replied smiling at him, ignoring the stupid nickname the other had given him. Hiro was gently pulled out of his house, he locked it since his mother was out, and followed Tadashi out. Tadashi took the smaller one with him, opening the side door for him "After you," He said, his voice sort of light and it almost sounded sing-song like. Hiro sat down a slight blush dusting his cheeks. Tadashi sat down and looked at Hiro "Seatbelt." He directed as he did the same and started the car up "The park isn't too far from here, so we'll get there relatively quickly, is that cool with you Hiro?" He asked.

Hiro nodded and smiled "Yeah, I guess we can do more stuff since we can get there quickly, right?"

"Suppose so," And with that, Tadashi started to drive from the driveway of the home and onto the road.

"Hey, Tadashi, what music do you like?" Hiro asked as he put on the radio, surprisingly the music that started to play was soft and sort of indie

"I like anything soft and sweet, it's easier to concentrate with, I guess," Tadashi said, not taking his eyes off the road, but had a soft smile on his face.

"Hmm…" Hiro said as he clicked through stations with a studying look on his face, landing on something familiar Hiro kept it on an alternative station; he lowered the volume a little as it played a song, "…'Cause we could be immortals, immortals, Just not for long, for long…."

A soft hum came from Hiro as he listened, Tadashi wasn't too fond of it, but he did admit it was a nice song, his fingers tapping the tune against the wheel. Hiro laughed a little once the song ended and something much louder and a little more aggressive came on and Tadashi cringed.

"Hiro maybe we should change the station…" he said as he tried not to look too disgusted "We're almost there anyway," He added as he pulled up to the parking lot. The park was much bigger than Hiro anticipated, and there were a lot of people, at least from what Hiro could assume from the couples and families walking out of their cars to the entrance. Hiro was a little worried, he doesn't like crowds all that much, he can handle them, but it isn't ideal for him.

Tadashi parked the car and smiled but slightly frowned when he saw Hiro's worrying face "Are you okay?" He asked him.

"Yeah! I'm good, thanks Tadashi," He said as he got out of the car and smiled a little, Tadashi let out a sigh as he slightly crouched to the others level.

"Hiro," he said, in a voice Hiro can only describe as motherly, Tadashi ruffled up Hiro's hair and smiled "If you don't wanna tell me, that's fine, just know I'm by you side alright? Now lets have some fun!" He said in a reassuring voice.

Hiro smiled genuinely after that "Thanks," he said as the two walked to the entrance together. Hiro was excited once again, he hasn't really gone to one of these in a while, and not to add on that he's going with his super attractive and super nice co-star. He was definitely going to have fun. Until he saw everyone's eyes land on Tadashi. Oh hell no. Hiro's hands automatically latched onto Tadashi and mumbling a "I don't like crowds," to make up for his actions.

Tadashi wasn't one to complain though, the way the boy clung to him, almost possessively, made him smile "That's fine," he replied as he let him continue his hold.

The two approached the entrance, got their tickets and went in. Hiro, still was holding on to Tadashi, which was accompanied by a slight pout on his face. This was going to be a fun day, for both of them.
