Hey guys! I'm so so so sorry about my long leave of absence. I just graduated high school and my life has been pretty crazy honestly. But I'm not giving up on this story or my other one. The next chapter for he's the woman will be out in the next week hopefully, keep your eye out for it! Sorry it's so short, but again this is a filler chapter. We're heading into the action stuff soon, I'm a little worried about writing those scenes . . . wish me luck! Don't forget to review, it really does keep me writing! See you all again shortly!


It started to become harder for Gogo to ignore. Everyday seemed longer because of it. She chanted to herself that it wasn't any of her business, that it really didn't matter. The soft looks the Hamada brothers tossed to each other were, frankly, distasteful. The worst part was that they seemed to be oblivious to the way the other felt. Neither of the Hamada's ever caught the other's longing gaze. Gogo felt like she was alone; she was the only one taking notice and it made the nerd lab feel small and hot. There wasn't enough space anymore. Gogo might be small, but she was nearly suffocating in the large lab. In fact, the only reason Gogo came in was because of Honey Lemon. If it weren't for Honey's bright smile and happiness, Gogo would just work at night by herself.

If she were honest with herself, Gogo knew Honey was her reason for a lot of things. She was her reason for coming into the lab. She was her reason for trying her hardest. She was her reason for wanting to keep the Hamada's secret a secret. Honey was her reason for getting up in the mornings. Gogo was more sick with herself then even Tadashi or Hiro. Gogo really wished she could ignore the way her stomach dropped whenever Honey smiled. It made her feel wrong, or at the very least uncomfortable. This feeling had been growing in the pit of Gogo's stomach for a long time now and it was practically unbearable now. It was all Gogo could do to keep her face away from Honey's.

"Gogo — " Honey calls suddenly, opening the door to the nerd lab early one morning. "Good morning!" She smiled brilliantly at the shorter girl, "Are the others here yet?"

Gogo managed to shake her head no.

"Oh — Oh well!" The blonde approached the short girl, high heels clicking with each step. "What are you working on?" Honey leered over Gogo to get a better look at what was going on.

The short girl tried to steel her heart, but to no avail. She could feel her blood rushing under skin, breath suddenly erratic. "Nothing yet, just jotting down ideas." Gogo spoke quietly, the usual hardness to her voice no longer present. All of her thoughts flew out the window and were replaced with Honey Lemon totally and completely. Gogo felt like she was going to be sick.

"I really like that idea!" Honey says, pointing to one of the main things listed on the paper. Gogo nods, looking, but not seeing the words written down in front of her. Finally, Honey moves away from the other girl and begins walking over to her own colorful work area. "I'm sure you'll find one to work on soon," The blonde chirped encouragingly, back now facing Gogo.

A small smile spreads itself across the dark haired girl's face. "Yeah . . . I'm sure I will."

And suddenly the best idea popped into Gogo's mind.

Gogo worked furiously on the project that afternoon, sweat building on the back of her neck from the exertion. Honey smiled over at her every once in a while, but it was quiet in the workshop. The only noise was the sound of tools and the hum of a radio playing the top 100 hits. It was a productive afternoon albeit, a bit quiet. It was only the two girls in the lab for some reason. Gogo didn't bother thinking about where the boys could be. She was actually grateful that they were gone for once. It was comfortable working like this; it was comfortable being only with Honey. The short girl tried to ignore the warm happiness flitting through her.

After a long morning, both of the girls feel exhausted and tired beyond belief. The blonde saunters over to her friend and smiles broadly once again. "I think we deserve a break! What do you think?" She tilts her head to the side, hands folding together against her cheek. Gogo blushes at the overall cuteness that is Honey Lemon.

"What do you have in mind?" Gogo asks a smile of her own spreading across her face. As if on cue the blonde's stomach growls lightly, indicating it's lunch time. This time it's Honey's turn to blush.

"How do you feel about going out to lunch?" The blonde offers, face rosy from embarrassment. The short girl grins happily at the idea, more than a little excited. It was almost like a date, almost. Still, it was enough for Gogo.

"Sounds like a plan."

The sound of the lab door opening interrupts their conversation. Both of the girls look to the door, meeting an awkward looking Hiro Hamada. The young Hamada grinned sheepishly and walked in by himself. His eyes scanned the area, looking for something or someone. Gogo knew instantly who he was looking for.

Hiro finally stops looking around and rests his eyes on the two girls. "Hey ladies! Working hard or hardly working?" He asks with a grin. The girls look back at each other and smile.

"We are actually about to go on break." Honey smiles, clasping her hands together again. "The lab is all yours!"

Once again his eyes roam around the lab. "Thanks . . . have you two been alone all morning?" A hot blush creeps up Gogo's neck and she tries to fight it off. Hiro gives her a strange look. She worried that her facial expression gave something away.

"We sure have, were you looking for someone?" Honey asks while grabbing her purse. She hands Gogo her jacket and shoulder bag. Hiro shakes his head in return and begin rummaging around the lab. "Well . . . have fun! We'll see you around. Call if you need anything!"

The blonde waves to Hiro with some finality before grabbing Gogo's hand and leading her out of the lab. Gogo follows, biting back a smile.

The second the door closes behind the girls Hiro sighs loudly, falling back into a chair. Absentmindly, he pulls out his phone and looks up Tadashi's number. He debated calling before tucking it back inside it pocket. He decided he didn't need to know where Tadashi was all the time.

Even though he'd like to.


Hope you guys liked it! Sorry about the lack of hiroxtadashi i'll make up for it in later chapters!
