11 *TADASHI*

Ok you guys literally amaze me, this story has well over 2.4 k reads now. I really hope you are enjoying this story! I really do enjoy writing this one so I'm glad it has readers to gush over Tadasho like me lol! 

Quick question! What's your favourite character aside from Tadashi? I really like Wasabi because he's so organized and his personality is pretty funny 😅🥴

I apologize that this chapter is a bit shorter than usual! I wrote it in a hurry, but I did my best to move the story on! This is a simple lunch scene, setting up the next chapter! Be prepared for the next one cause oh my gosh

~~~~~~

Your POV

You didn't mind when Gogo and Fred came, you liked having lunch with everyone. It made you feel like you really became part of their group. Besides, no matter how you felt about Tadashi, it was best to put those feelings on pause. 

What would you do if the relationship failed? These friends would be there for Tadashi.
You ignored the little voice that asked but what if the relationship flourished?

Honey Lemon, Hiro and Wasabi joined the table. You smiled at them brightly and Honey Lemon sat on the opposite side of Tadashi. Hiro by Fred and Wasabi filled in the seat by Gogo and Honey Lemon. 

Where you sat you watched as everyone greeted each other and Fred kept the mood light with his jokes and people laughed.

You really liked being part of the group.

"Is it good?" you looked at Hiro who was clearly indulging himself and the joy on his face from eating fast food was adorable. He asked you this question through a mouthful of food.

"Hiro, I taught you manners didn't I?" Tadashi said, teasing his brother, he threw you an apologetic look. 

"Nah it's good, the food is delicious," you said while taking another forkful of taco salad, Hiro nodding while shaking his head. 

"He's only saying that because of you," Hiro whispered yet the whole table heard.

"I'm saying it because you are disgusting, opening your mouth when it's full of food?" You laughed listening to their conversation. You didn't want to notice but seeing Tadashi's ear red made your heart move a little faster.

"Anyways, you guys the afternoon is our time, I need some help on carrying some wheels and stuff, (y/n) wanna help?" you nodded at Gogo, happy to help. 

"I can help too," Tadashi offered his help but Gogo shook her head.

"If you are free can you help me? I need to talk to a professor on the other side of campus about my class but I need to bring my set for him to inspect," Honey Lemon asked Tadashi who hesitated before nodding. 

"I'm always willing to help a friend," Tadashi said. The set must be a bunch of random chemicals that need to be brought. 

"Thank you."

"Alright (Y/n), let's go after you are finished eating," you nod smiling at Gogo. Wasabi threw you a sympathetic look and you didn't understand why. 

"Alright, but after we are all done, I need to borrow Hiro, (Y/n) and Tadashi, I haven't shown you guys my lasers yet! Everyone else saw them this morning, and I want to prove to Tadashi how important my work is," you nodded at him, a smile on your face. Wasabi seemed the most honest and nice person. 

"Ha, I already told you that it's important, just not regarding me, all of our work is important in very different ways is all," Tadashi shrugged. 

"Yeah well, come see it, it's so cool!" You laughed, he was just so excited and proud. 

"I'm down," you said and he smiled at you. 

"Me too," Hiro agreed.

"Well obviously I'm going," Tadashi said, and then your face went red and he suddenly wrapped an arm around you. "You are taking my brother and the girl I introduced you all to, why wouldn't I go?"
