Well, we have all loved the cutesy one-shots…but now, a little drama…this idea was suggested by Zoe-Hirogo-fan. So if you hate this story-blame her! Ha ha…I'm just kidding…so on to the story!
I also had a scene that would have been-explicit, but I left it out to keep it PG. You can still see the ramifications of the act, however...
After moving out of his aunt's place, Hiro Hamada moved in with his girlfriend, Go Go Tomago. And it was a perfect arrangement-they were both working to bring their concepts to market. Hiro was refining his microbot project, and Go Go had spent the last few years developing magnetic levitation.
But despite being in a relationship-something was missing. There was no affection, no romance…Hiro would come home before Go Go, and start dinner. He'd eat, leave her a plate, and fall asleep in front of the TV. She'd come home later, reheat the dinner, eat, nudge Hiro awake, and they'd retire to bed. And the weekend was no help-she'd spend Saturdays with her girlfriends, and he'd spend Sunday either at Aunt Cass's restaurant, or with Fred and Wasabi.
And this went on for several months…and they were both unhappy. Until one day…Go Go was working on her prototype mag-lev discs. She heard someone behind her-"Excuse me…I'm looking for a Miss Tanaka."
Go Go turned, and said, "I'm Miss Tanaka. How can I help you?" She stopped when she saw the gentleman. He was a little over 6 feet tall, well-built, with sandy-blonde hair. And when Go Go saw him, she thought, Wow…what a hunk!
He replied, "I was told I could find something that would change the world."
Go Go replied, "You were told right. This facility is where I'm refining my magnetic levitation technology. I'm sorry-I haven't gotten your name."
The man replied, "It's Robert Murphy."
Go Go extended her hand, and said, "Ethel."
She turned back to her project, and Robert said, "Quite a fascinating concept."
Go Go replied, "Yeah…I'm looking to adapt it to larger wheels. If I can do that, I will change the way we travel."
Go Go and Robert continued to talk about her wheels and her designs…and she felt herself connecting with this stranger. And over the next few weeks…they get even closer. Robert told her about his project-designing a new type of lightweight body armor. And he took her to his area to show her what he had.
And Go Go was impressed- his knowledge on what polymers to combine to create armor that was light, yet still offered maximum protection was incredible. But while she and Robert were connecting…Hiro and she were still drifting apart. In fact, it was as though she only saw Hiro right before she collapsed on the bed they shared.
And then…a crisis happened…Go Go was working-and it was late. She thought she was alone…until she heard a familiar voice. "Burning the midnight oil, Ethel?"
She turned-to see Robert there. She said, "Well…not really. Trying to put the finishing touch on today's work."
Robert crossed the room-and was only inches from Go Go. She had turned back to her project-only to feel a pair of hands squeeze her shoulders. She stiffened-but soon relaxed as he gently rubbed her shoulders. She also exhaled, and softly moaned.
Robert said, "Wow…you are carrying a lot of tension…" The massage felt so good…she hadn't noticed he was leaning her forward. She did notice when he kissed her neck…and softly moaned, "What…are you doing?"
He said, "C'mon, Ethel…" His hand gripped her breast…and she didn't protest…she had missed the physical affection from her boyfriend…and she didn't protest when Robert began to lift her skirt…
….and like that-it was over. It was the best she had felt- having been deprived of physical affection for so long. She hadn't even noticed when Robert left. She headed to the bathroom…and quickly fixed herself up. She saw her blouse had a button gone. She calmed herself-before checking out and heading home.
And once home-she found a surprise. Hiro was still awake=and watching something on TV. She had put her purse on the table, and said, "Hiro! You're still up!"
Hiro said, "Yeah…I had thought about the last few weeks…and how I've treated you. So this weekend is just us."
Go Go said, "Really? Something planned for just us?" Oh crap…now I feel horrible for going behind Hiro's back…but he doesn't have to find out. Go Go then said, "That's great! I wanna hit the shower…it's been a long day."
She headed towards the bathroom-when Hiro heard a chime. He looked towards Go Go's purse…and heard the chime. He saw the phone say-missed message. He thought, I'd feel like a schmuck for doing this…
He saw the message-Hey Ethel-hope I gave you what you wanted and needed. Rob
Hiro wondered, Rob? The phone chimed, and he saw another message-Let me know if you're up for it again.
Hiro now was curious…up for what again? The phone chimed again-Sorry bout the blouse…hope I wasn't too rough on your girls- ;D.
Hiro wasn't curious anymore-now he was upset. He didn't notice Go Go come into the room-until she said, "What are you doing with my phone?"
Hiro said, "And who is this 'Rob'?"
Go Go gulped, and said, "He's some guy at work."
Hiro replied, "He's more than that." He gave Go Go her phone-and she looked at the messages. Go Go said, "Hiro…please…it…it didn't mean anything…"
Hiro then said, "Oh? I guess we have a different meaning of the word 'anything'."
Go Go said, "Please, Hiro! I didn't know that was going to happen.."
Hiro said, "Did you try to stop him? Did you tell him no? Or that you were in a relationship?"
Now it was Go Go's time to fire back. She said, "A relationship? What have we done in this relationship? When was the last time you showed me any physical affection? A kiss? An embrace? Anything?"
Hiro said, "Wait, Go…"
Go Go said, "I'm sorry…I have needs, Hiro. I need affection. And when you turned yourself off to me…I hoped we could find that spark again…but we just kept drifting further and further apart…and tonight…I just had a moment of weakness…"
Hiro said, "I have needs too, Go Go…but I'm sorry I can't give you what you wanted. When you come home late like you do, and I'm tired as well, it's hard to show you that affection. But we could have worked something out…but now…"
Go Go-realizing what was transpiring, began to cry. She said, "Hiro…please. We can work something out…"
Hiro said, "I can't even be around you…Ethel." Go Go noted that when he called her by her real name, the situation was critical. Go Go sighed, and went into the bedroom. She grabbed a duffel bag, put a few days' worth of clothes inside, and came out. She opened the door, and slammed it. She grabbed her phone, and dialed a number.
After a few seconds, a sleepy voice said, "iHola!"
Go Go said, "Honey? It's Go. Look, I need sanctuary for a few days."
Honey said, "What did you do?"
Go Go said, "I've done…something terrible…"
And that's where the first of this two parter ends! And next time-can Go Go reconcile with Hiro? (Spoiler-duh!)
Also-what are you feelings about stories centering on Wasabi and the OC that's his girlfriend, Allison? (She was introduced in The Trans-Human saga)
Until the next time-you know what to dooooo! Read, comment, fave, and follow!
