Big Hero 7

Nerd School

(Y/N)'s P.O.V

I swing my legs slowly forward and back, the metal bench beneath my hands cool to the touch.

Hiro sets his hand down, his hand overlapping mine for a moment before he jerks away with a startled gasp.

"This place must have you on edge," I whisper in amusement, raising a brow with a grin.

"S-Sure. Totally. The place, yeah. Totally." Hiro stammers before looking ahead.

He laughs awkwardly, waving to Tadashi in the other cell packed full of the people from the bot fight.

Tadashi silently glares at us, his hands clenched around the bars and the others murmuring.

...

The police man held the door open for me, sighing softly as I walk past him.

"Cass!" I nervously greet, watching her pace and bite her thumbnail.

"Hi, Aunt Cass." Both Hiro and Tadashi say, their voices meek.

"Are you guys okay?!" she gasps, quicky turning to us.

Cass grabs my arm, lifting it up and looking around my body for wounds.

"Tell me you're all okay!"

"My elbow is scraped, but that's it," I reply, grunting as she squeezes me in a tight hug.

"We're fine," Hiro nods, sighing as Cass hugs him and Tadashi.

"We're okay." Tadashi agrees, Cass pulling away and setting her hand on their cheeks.

"Good."

Her gaze hardens, making me wince as she pinches their ears and starts to drag them.

"Then what were you three knuckleheads thinking?!"

...

The car ride was silent, Tadashi sitting by the window and Hiro next to him, me squeezed in next to him and Cass.

"(S/N) called me and said she'd talk to you at our place," Cass sighs heavily, her hands tense around the wheel as she informs me she contacted my older sister.

"O--Okay," I nod, anxiously glancing at Hiro.

He offers a small reassuring smile before his hand returns to his bright red ear, rubbing it soothingly as Tadashi does the same.

"For ten years!" Cass huffs, breaking the silence. "I have done the best I could to raise you boys."

...

"Have I been perfect? No!" she continues ranting, parking at her place.

(S/N)'s car was already parked, and she was no doubt inside waiting.

"Should I have picked up a book on parenting?!" Cass sticks her keys in the door, pausing. "Probably! Where was I going with this? I had a point."

"Sorry..."

"I'm really sorry, too," I apologize, bowing slightly.

"We love you, Aunt Cass." Hiro nervously smiles.

"Well," Cass shouts, firmly pointing down. "I love you too!"

(S/N) rises from her spot, her gaze fixated on me as we enter the shop. She rushes over, slightly bending down to my height as she looks me over.

"Are you okay? You're okay, right?"

I nod, looking down as she sighs and places her hand on my head. Hiro looks between us with some concern, no doubt sensing the awkwardness.
