Chapter 1 - It is Written
.
It was just about 2 hours before that day end. A fifteen-year old boy was busy doing things within his "Nerd Lab" at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. The place used to belong to his older brother, but time sure ticked away and the legacy was passed to him. Sitting on his desk, the boy was busy drabbling something on his journal. It was something beyond the scope of technicalities his microbots could even offer.
Plus Points:
- We're friends.
- We're teammates, so we could meet very often.
- She appreciated the supersuit I made her.
- We're both NERDS.
- We're in the same school.
- SHE HUGGED ME ABOUT A YEAR AGO!
Thumbs Down:
- She's cool and I'm not.
- She's a tomboy… or perhaps she's like one.
- She's a year head of me. AND she's even older than me.
- I have no idea what her faves, likes, etc. are.
- A LOT of potential rivals out there. There could be this and that and this and that… there could be in the team or not… I couldn't really tell!
- I'm beginning to feel weird when she's around. I can't talk or move!
- She treats me like a little brother.
Being a normal genius and a superhero wasn't easy for a pubescent boy. In a good point, there was peace, with low-level threats, for the past year. The last time that they've got trouble was with Yokai, and they handled him pretty well. In a side note of interest, his daughter now taught at the Institute, and she's fond of visiting her father in the confinement. As for Big Hero 6, they continued their life as normal nerds seeking knowledge within the Institute. There were instances that they're prompted to wear those suits, but those were not-so-big deals.

With regards to the boy, almost everyone in SFIT knew him. His name was Hiro Hamada, the boy who invented the Neuro-Cranial Transmitter-controlled Microbots that almost succeeded in wrecking Krei Tech to oblivion. Back to his drabblings, he stopped as he pondered the last sentence he wrote. Puberty did strike firmly, and there's a lot of changes that happened to him. What caught his attention was his growing admiration to a special someone. Guess what, he got a crush on a girl who was so unlikely for that matter, and there went despair. With a sigh, he took out two pictures and was about to put them on that page of the journal.
.
Unknown to him, somebody managed to sneak behind him. Being 6'2" on that heels, the person got a good view of what was written on his journal, but save the pictures.
"What are you doing, Hiro?", a voice asked in somewhat a Spanish tone.
"Huh?!", Hiro replied in a surprised, panicky tone. Reflexively, he closed the journal and hid it in his backpack. On his back was Honey Lemon.
"I'm just doing… stuff.", he added, though it's quite understandable that it wasn't true.
"What kind of stuff? It's like you're comparing something or someone?"
"I-I'm just drabbling about things… eh."
"Wait a minute… ", she whispered and reached for something on the floor. It was the pictures he's about to put on the journal. One of them was the girl's ID picture, while the other was a picture taken on a train. The latter showed Hiro and the girl sleeping on each other's shoulder. Sweet indeed.
"Oh my god…", Honey continued.
"What?"
"You like GoGo!"
"W-wait, no!"
"Yes, you did!", and she showed him the pictures.
"How did you get that?"
"It's on the floor."
"Unbelievable. How could I ever misplace…"
"You like GoGo! You like GoGo!", she teased. Hiro tried his best to make her settle down but in vain.
"I-I don't like her."
"Why are you blushing then? And, why would you write that you feel weird when she's around?", Honey pointed to his cheeks.
"Eh… I do have some admiration…"
"My gosh, Hiro, you're really growing up! And now you're in-love with a very attractive girl!", she interrupted, and playfully hugged him.
"Whoa! That's not like that. I-I'm not in-love with her."
"Not in-love, huh? Then, what's it? A crush?"
"Yeah. I mean, no.", and he covered his mouth in regret.
"Gotcha! A fish is always caught in the mouth!"
"Okay, fine. You got me. I got a huge crush on her…", he said in an annoyed tone and facepalmed. With that, Honey Lemon settled down for real.
"I'm sorry for the noise, Hiro. I just got excited for the two of you. Anyway, it's getting late, better pack up.", she apologized and handed the pictures to him.
Hand in hand, the two cleaned the lab and was good to go. Lesson learned, Honey shouldn't get so hyped or she'd give you a backfire.
.
As they use in the corridor, Hiro couldn't help but to be sad. He's totally hopeless in terms of liking GoGo, and now Honey Lemon figured out his crush on the adrenaline junkie. Not that he didn't trust Honey, but how long could she keep the idea secret? The eyeglassed girl noticed his melancholy, and decided to drag him to a talking.
"What's the matter, Hiro?"
"Nothing."
"You're sad. I know there's something… Is it about your feelings for GoGo? Don't worry, your secret is safe with me.", she said and tapped his shoulder.
"It's not that. I just don't know what to do."
"Just have fun and enjoy the times you have with her."
"Well, I guess so…", he replied in a not-so-sure tone.
"Good luck with your endeavors with GoGo. I know you can do it. If you ever need help, I'll be here to support you, okay?", she assured.
"Thanks, Honey."
It was a good uplift. Honey really was as sweet as her name.
.
At home, Hiro reviewed what he had written before going to bed. As he saw Baymax, he remembered Tadashi's advice to see things in a different angle. He did what the advice wanted him to do. As he's in deep thought, his smartphone rang and he found out that he got a voice message. His heart might have skipped a beat or two, but he felt happy. What he heard was GoGo's voice…
"Hey, Honey told me that you burned the midnight oil. Don't push yourself too hard. Get some sleep, okay? Good night, Hiro."

Notes:
.
I have watched the movie last 11/15 and this is one awesome and fun treat. It deserved all the praises it could possibly get. 4.999 out of 5. :)
However, this movie lacked an official pairing. Pairs could be this and that and this and that, so... LET THE SHIPPING WAR COMMENCE!
(Well Nah! Just ship who you like to ship and I'll ship mine.)
.
Obviously, this is a Hiro x GoGo fanfic. Deal with it. I have my reasons why I consider this pairing, and it's like they're perfect together.
Welcome aboard the HiroGo ship! :D

(BTW, this is a part of a double update. The other on was at Mr. Peabody and Sherman; "Ties that Bind - Sherman & Penny")
