The Nerd and the Know-it-all (Hiro x reader)

Chapter 18- Waitin' For You

To say you were mad would've been an understatement. You were downright pissed, infuriated, enraged, and more words synonymous with anger. It was like being stabbed in the back when you saw your sister back there helping. She was tightening the restraints on your dad's wrists and ankles when you marched into the room, your eyes wide open, and stated that you were going to come out victorious.

There was no such thing as losing anymore. You walk up to your sister and grab her wrist. "What are you doing?" You ask.

"He's the reason why mom is dead. How can you not hate him?" She plays a smirk on her lips and jealousy laced in her tone.

"You don't get to do that. You don't get to pretend like you knew mom like I did. I stayed with her, I helped her, you... you ran." You reply, you had now been engulfed in your inner rage.

"(Y/N), we can have the entire country in our control. With your master coding, we can have everyone begging for us not to kill them. Don't you want that? Do you not want to rule the country with me?"

She pulled that card. "I wouldn't want to spend another second with you."

Her eyes widen and eyebrows furrow. "Excuse me?"

"You heard me." You whisper, walk closer to her and tightening your grip on her wrist. "Now let him go."

When she doesn't budge, you twist her arm around: "I'm sorry, do I have to repeat myself? Let him go!" You shout after seeing her wince in pain. Emila immediately went to undo the restraints.

"Do you think we should call the cops?" Hiro asks.

Wasabi looked at him and smiled nervously, "Yes! Calling the cops seems like a great idea!" He agrees.

"I'm calling them." Honey Lemon announces, pulling out her phone and dialing the three numbers that link her to the closest police station.

"Come on, (Y/N). I believe in you." Hiro whispers to himself.

"I never really liked you." Emila admits, her sneer growing.

You stare at her and ask, "Why?"

"Um, lets see... you took Hiro from me, you get all of dad's attention, you got mom, and you're so smart with your precious coding. You got all the attention! All their pride was thrown at you while I was left in the shadows."

You tighten your grip on her wrist, the tips of your fingers tinting to a pale tone. "You don't understand anything, do you? You can have Hiro, I don't care anymore. I learned coding to help mom and dad while you were out making friends. You can't blame me for being a fast learner. You left... you chose to leave. You are talking about things you do not understand." Without hesitation, you twist her arm around, making her back against your front.

She winces in pain as you flip her and bring her down. "Shut. it. down." You demand. You let go of her and watch her scurry away to the control panel. You run over to her to check what she was doing, but you were too late.

"Bomb detonation in one hundred- twenty seconds."

Just like that you put your hands on the panel, trying to undo the mess that you were put in. "Help!" You cry.

I don't want to die.

"Help!" Hiro hears you cry.

"Did you hear that? She's calling for us, guys come on." He snaps.

"Hiro, this is her fight. Not ours, and we've called the cops. They're on their way." Honey Lemon tries to calm him down.

He takes a deep breath in and out and closes his eyes. "Okay. Come on (Y/N). You can't die, you have to remember me, I have to tell you I love you so many more times, and we have to grow old together." He whispers.

Sirens blare through the streets and red, white, and blue flashing lights appeared. Men in uniform came out of the car and ran all the way up the stairs.

You try your best to code the bomb, but the system is out of control. There's nothing you can do. You take a step back away from the panel and turn around to see your father. "Dad? You have to get out of here!" You call. He looks over at you and you run to him. You wrap your arms around him, enveloping him into a warm embrace for the first time in a long time. "Dad, please." You whimper.

"(Y/N), I'm going to stay. Get out, now." He says to you. Without debate, you let him go. "I love you, you know that right?"

"I love you too, dad." You smile, tears falling off your cheeks.

He smiles, it was as if he was waiting to hear those words forever. Now that he's heard them, his life was set and done.

You run out of the building and when you see Hiro, something in you melted. You embraced him immediately an whispered, "We need to go."

The group and you all run as far as you could. You turned around and watched the bomb go off. The force so powerful it knocked you all to the ground, and you unconscious.

"Breaking news! The SunTrust building in Bloomside was blown up by a C4-T bomb, killing six police officers and one man, as well as injuring four. The bomb was set off by a fourteen year old girl, she's been identified as Emila (Your Last Name) and will be taken to Juvenile Detention until she's old enough to be jailed for terrorism." You watch the news reporter talk more about the subject. When you were conscious again, the group took you to a diner to get something to eat—you hadn't touched food in a couple of days.

You had remembered everything. When you woke up everything had been clear to you again.

"You ready?" Hiro asks.

"For what?" You ask in reply.

"For everything." He smiles, taking your hand and racing you to the mini van Wasabi and got ready so you could return to San Fransokyo.

Once in the mini van, you looked over at Hiro. "I love you." He smiles at you.

"I love you, too."
