Chapter 12

Aunt Cass had caught wind of the group's participation in the steel bot fight and had fresh pastries and coffee ready for them. Everyone was excited to see the treats she had prepared for them. Fred, who couldn't contain his happiness, gave Cass a tight hug. Cass laughed and encouraged everyone to dig in.

First thing Hiro did before joining his friends when he got home, was to take apart Baymax's armor. He trashed the unrepairable pieces and set the other pieces aside for a later inspection. Baymax had a tear in his side that needed a quick patch, then he put Baymax on his charging station and returned to his friends.

Hiro slipped his arm around Gogo's waist and pulled her close to him. They waited at the back of the food line that formed in the kitchen. She smiled at him as she looked up. They were both relieved that nothing more happened because of Yama or Jiro.

Hiro reached over her and pulled two mugs from the cupboard and poured coffee into both cups. He fixed Gogo's coffee first, then tended to his own. They clinked their mugs together in a silent victory toast and took a sip. At least Hiro considered tonight a victory. He did what he set out to do, get the attention of the Inagura clan.

Hiro noticed Fred from the corner of his eye. Fred was holding two plates of pastries and Honey Lemon was holding their cups. He leaned in for a quick kiss from Honey Lemon, then they retreated to the couch.

Wasabi was deep in a conversation with Abigail about his invention. Hiro knew Abigail wasn't interested in him, but she laughed at his jokes anyways.

Hiro's mind wandered back to that look he had seen on Abigail's face earlier. His brow furrowed as his mind wandered. He wasn't sure he trusted her. Gogo was right. She was convenient. That one word lingered in his mind.

Gogo's hand brushing against his cheek pulled him from his thoughts.

"Let's go somewhere quieter," she whispered.

Hiro nodded. He was glad she had made that suggestion and let her pull him up to his room. They had spent a lot of time at his house and in his room, but he was suddenly embarrassed to be alone with her. In his room.

"What is it?" Gogo asked clearly sensing his embarrassment.

"Nothing!" Hiro croaked covering his mouth and tucking his other arm under his elbow.

"Huh," she turned around. Gogo's eyes traveled over the divider that once divided Hiro's side of the room from Tadashi's. She shook her head. He should have moved Tadashi's stuff out long ago. She let out what she thought was a silent sigh.

"Gogo?" Hiro asked behind her. She didn't turn around so Hiro pulled her against him from behind. "Thank you."

"For what?" she asked.

"For being with me," Hiro simply said.

She spun around and raised an eyebrow at him. "You mean as a team? Or something more?"

Hiro smiled. "Both. But I'm glad you are here with me."

"Me too," she said, stepping closer to him.

They were inches away from each other now. He cupped her cheek, inviting her into him as he leaned down and captured her lips with his. He felt her body inhale, then she grasped both of his arms. Their lips parted and moved against each other, both enjoying the taste of the other. Gogo's tongue pushed through his lips and he twitched with desire to continue to kiss her. He was pushing her back toward his bed. Her knees hit his mattress and she sat down on the bed, Hiro not missing a beat and following her down, still kissing her.

She leaned back onto her elbows and invited Hiro to fall on top of her. He placed both hands on either side of her and leaned down to kiss her neck. She gasped and felt a tingling sensation wash over her body. She closed her eyes and leaned her head back giving Hiro room to travel to the other side of her neck. His lips brushed on her collar bone and traveled slowly to the crevice of her breasts. He could feel her chest rise and fall with her breath and it stirred a fire in his stomach. He glanced up at Gogo and saw her beautiful face flushed red. He knew what his movements were doing to her just as they were doing to him.

His hand brushed the bangs from her face and captured her lips again. Hiro felt a pressure in his pants, he knew she felt it too, and moaned quietly against her before he pulled away.

"What's wrong?" Gogo breathed as his lips left hers.

"I…I don't want to…no, that's not true…I care about you so much…I…let's just take this slow," he panted.

Gogo smiled her biggest smile at him and felt her heart leap with joy in her chest at how respectable he was being. They both knew they wanted this, but this was not the time with all their friends down stairs. Gogo pulled him into a hug and he let his body rest on top of her.

"Come on, let's just sleep here," Gogo said as she pushed herself reluctantly away from Hiro. She situated herself on one side of Hiro's bed and climbed under his covers. She could smell all of him and she inhaled deeply, memorizing his scent.

He pulled the covers on the other side and climbed in next to her. She softly kissed him, then turned her back to him and curled into his embrace. They stayed this way the rest of the night.

"Hiro!"

His name being call by Aunt Cass is what woke him and Gogo from their sleep.

"Wake up right now Hiro!" Aunt Cass called behind his door.

Hiro rubbed his eyes and kissed Gogo's hair before he crawled out of bed.

"What is it Aunt Cass?" he asked through half open eyes.

"Get suited up! There's several explosions that happened this morning and now half the warehouses on the coast are on fire! You need to get out there and help save as many people as you can. The fire department called in back up but there's still not enough people to help!"

Hiro's mind registered what Cass was finally saying and he turned to his bed and saw that Gogo had sat up when she heard the news as well.

"Go get Baymax. I'll inform the others," Gogo said.

He nodded and moved through the door, past Aunt Cass and headed down to his garage.

He pushed open the door and grabbed the armor parts he had left determining what he could use on Baymax. He turned to the charging station and everything fell from his hands, clattering onto the floor.

Baymax was gone.
