When he opens his eyes and wipes away the tears, his breath comes out in a puff of cold air. There are icicles on the buildings and garland around the lampposts. All the storefronts have holiday themed décor. But Hiro only has eyes for Comics Straight to You.
With a one track mind, he walks up the steps and inside. At the sound of the bell going on, Jamie glanced up from the computer in front of her, smiling a hostess smile. "Hello, and welcome to Comics Straight to You!"
"H-hello…"
She doesn't seem to notice his red eyes, his tremulous expression. "What can I help you with, sir?"
"I – " He clears his throat. What had he said about their first meeting? How adamant he was to get a copy of Word's Heroes, right? "I'm looking for Worlds Heroes!"
She blinks. "Well, I'm sorry to tell you, buddy, but it doesn't come out until the New Year."
He fakes a frown, before grinning at her. "Then I will wait until then!" And he sits dramatically on the floor in front of the counter.
For a moment, there is silence, but then she breaks into uncontrollable laughter and comes around to stand in front of him. She still laughing when she sticks her hand out for him to shake. "I'm Jamie Peterson. It's nice to meet you."
He grins. "Hiro Nakamura. It's nice to meet you, too." His smile widens. "I think we're going to be good friends, Jamie-san."
