Life as a Game ~Hiro x Reader~

~Chapter 1~

"Well, Tadashi is bigger than us and would take most of the room." (Y/n) reasoned. Hiro only nodded in agreement.

"I wonder when Aunt Cass and Tadashi will notice our absence." He thought out allowed. Little did the two of them know, Aunt Cass and Tadashi HAD realised they were missing and they were worrying a lot.

Every second, Aunt Cass scoffed a doughnut down her throat, having closed the café early once Tadashi discovered them missing. Tadashi was running around the house, double checking every nook and cranny in case he missed something but he found nothing.

"I think they ran off outside! They aren't here!" Tadashi worried, grabbing his black cap and his aunt's hand, dragging her out the café door.

"They could get hurt!" she fretted, finishing her cinnamon scroll.

"That's why we need to find them! I KNEW I shouldn't have told them to go to our room!" Tadashi scolded.

"Where could they have gone? Not very far by foot and we both know Hiro hates walking for too long." The young woman responded. "If only we could track them down!" Tadashi's eyes widened at her words, realizing something important.

"That's it!" He exclaimed.

"What's it Tadashi?" Aunt Cass asked. Tadashi hastily opened his phone and opened a GPS app up.

"I installed a GPS tracker in all of Hiro's clothes since last month when he said he wanted to build robots to take over the school... I wanted to be sure he wasn't doing anything weird so I sewed tracking devices in!" he beamed at his genius idea.

"Well hurry up and find them!" Aunt Cass urged. Tadashi nodded and waited for the screen to load, shaking his head in disapproval.

"I should have known they would be there... they are at the park... you go back to the café, I'll bring them home." Tadashi sighed.

"Are you sure?" Aunt Cass asked, almost not certain if she should trust her eldest nephews.

"I'll be okay, promise. We will be back home before you eat all the pastries in the café." He smirked. Aunt Cass nodded and patted Tadashi's back.

"You're such a kind older brother, you know that Tadashi?" His aunt asked. Tadashi smiled proudly.

"It's my job, if I don't look out for them, who would?" and with his words, the two split ways. Tadashi sprinted as fast as he could to the park, diving through the bushes and walking as quietly as possible towards the hideout. Sure enough, the two children were inside, talking to each other.

"At least they are socializing... I remember when I struggled to get them to come out of the bedroom to eat!" the older brother thought to himself. Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.

Slowly, he inched towards the entrance of the little cubby, trying his best not to make too much noise. And with a count down from ten, he jumped out and yelled loudly, scaring the two youngsters inside.

Each child screamed for their life, grasping each other as tightly as possible, fearing that if they let go, the 'monster' that came to attack them would hurt them. However, once Hiro and (Y/n) spotted the eldest Hamada, they recoiled from each other, glaring up angrily at the laughing boy.

"TADASHI!" they both yelled, arms crossed. This only made the boy laugh harder. "That wasn't funny!"

"Well that's what you get for running away." Tadashi pointed out, calming himself down. "Speaking of which, we need to get home, Aunt Cass might have eaten the entire food supply for the café!" (Y/n) giggled slightly at the thought of Aunt Cass committing such thing.

Tadashi stepped aside to let the two youngsters out, grabbing each one of their tiny hands and leading them towards the Hamada household. "Will Aunt Cass hate us?" Hiro asked, looking up at his brother with fearful eyes.

"I hope not..." (Y/n) mumbled. Tadashi watched as the two worried more and more.

"She might never forgive us..." Hiro said.

"She won't let us play together again..." (Y/n) continued. Hiro's doe brown eyes widened.

"But... if we can't see each other again... we can't go to the convention tomorrow!!!" Hiro gasped. Tadashi widened his eyes as the two started to cry. "Please don't make her do that Tadashi!" Hiro sobbed as (Y/n) wiped her nose with the hem of his shirt. Tadashi pulled his now snotty shirt away and stopped in his tracks. They were merely a block from the Café by now and it was getting quite late, almost time for (Y/n) to go home.

The boy bent down so that Hiro and (Y/n) were just a little taller than himself. He outstretched his arms as the two ran to hug him. "Shh... she won't do such a thing, I'll make sure you guys never separate, no matter what." He promised. The three of them separated as (Y/n) held out her small pinky finger.

"Pinky swear?" she asked. Tadashi stared at her little finger. As much as the boy wanted to keep his promise, he knew it would never last, somethings just happen... But alas, the boy wrapped his own pinky around the little girls, staring carefully into her (e/c) eyes. He could see his own reflection in them, he could see the lies he was hiding from the two.

"I pinky swear (n/n)." he whispered, almost inaudible.
