Honey yawns. She's half sitting, half sleeping in her booth at the Lucky Cat Cafe. It's a shame they have school today: she's not prepared at all. Forget homework–she's going to be lucky if she manages to stay awake in class. Honey's so tired, she doesn't even notice when Tadashi grabs a chair and pulls it over.

"Honey!"

He shakes her, and she rubs tired eyes. She's awake, however, and listening. Sort of.

"How many hours of sleep did you get last night?" Tadashi asks.

"Oh, two, maybe three." It's the first time she's ever stayed up that late, and her brain doesn't like this lack of sleep much. Honey puts her head down on the table. "Wake me up when they call my name, OK?"

Tadashi takes a breath, about to protest, but she speaks first.

"Please?"

"Oh, alright."

Honey's eyes close almost instantly, and she doesn't know anything else until Tadashi shakes her awake again.

"Honey. Honey. Honey, your breakfast's here."

"Hmm? Oh, you got it for me. Thanks."

She reaches for her chocolate croissant and takes a bite. It's delicious, as always.

"Oh, and one more thing."

Honey looks at Tadashi, confused.

"But I didn't order anything else. I just got this."

"I know."

Honey hasn't noticed it, but two steaming cups sit in front of Tadashi. He grins and slides one of them toward her. Honey glances at the white heart design – coffee art, she thinks.

"Coffee, on me."

"Tadashi, you're too nice."

"I figured you could use a pick-me-up after two hours of sleep. You do know nights like that are really not the best idea, right?"

Honey laughs and takes a sip. She's never actually had coffee before, only tea. For all she's heard about coffee's taste, it's surprisingly sweet.

"I always thought coffee was bitter."

"Oh, it is," says Tadashi, "but I thought you would want it sweet, so I added lots of sugar and cream. Is it bad?"

"No, not at all. It's really good."

"Oh! Glad you like it."

She drinks the entire cup, and, once she's finished, she feels surprisingly refreshed. Her sleepiness is still there, but at least she can keep her eyes open.

"Thanks, Tadashi."

"Anything for you." Tadashi smiles, and Honey doesn't know if he's joking. He probably is, but she chooses to believe he's not.

About two weeks later, Honey gets up one hour earlier, and she goes to the Lucky Cat Cafe one hour earlier too. She still remembers that she owes Tadashi one, for her first cup of coffee after her first 3-hours-of-sleep night, so she figures she'll just buy an extra cup and leave it in his lab. However, she hadn't expected that Tadashi, not Aunt Cass, would be working the counter at the cafe.

"Well, you're early." Tadashi smiles. "You usually come at 6:30-ish, and it's what," he glances at the clock behind him, "5:30?"

"Um . . ." Flustered, she tries to come up with something, anything to say. "I've never seen you working here before. I mean, maybe I just haven't seen you, or I haven't come on the right days, or, well, I mean, do you usually do this?" Honey asks.

"Well, I usually do on the weekends. But this weekend, there's a science convention in Los Anosaka, so I decided to help during the the week. It's not very busy right now, but in an hour, it'll be chaos."

Just my luck, thinks Honey. She had to choose the day Tadashi was working, of all days. But it doesn't matter now. Might as well go through with what she was originally planning, although she'll have to make a few changes to her idea now.

"Can I have two cups of coffee and a chocolate croissant, please?"

"Two cups?" he says, incredulous, "You didn't pull another all-nighter, did you?"

"No, and I didn't pull a near all-nighter either. If I did, you would know. Believe me, I got more than enough sleep last night."

"Well, you don't look tired," he says, turning around to start the coffee maker. "Would you like a specific kind of coffee or just anything I can whip up? You're really the only one in here, so I have time. Oh, and would you like your croissant warm?

"Oh, I don't really mind, anything you can whip up is fine with me. And yes, can it be warm? If that's alright with you."

"Sure it is. Do you mind if I play with latte art?"

"Not at all!"

Tadashi starts the coffee maker and places her croissant in the oven. As they wait, she begins a conversation over the quiet whir.

"So, how is Baymax?"

"Ugh. Everything on him works. The video is fine, the recording is fine, his exoskeleton and vinyl covering are fine. It's what's in him - the programming- that's got me stumped. Maybe I'm overloading the chip or something."

"Well, I don't know much about robotics, so I probably won't be much help. Maybe you could make a bigger chip? Although, if that doesn't work, you could potentially have multiple chip slots, and just give Baymax two chips to hold all that coding."

"Those are actually really good ideas. For someone who doesn't know much about robotics, you're good at this."

"Really? Oh, well, thank you."

"Did you figure out your chemical metal embrittlement?"

"Actually I did! It's a dash of perchloric acid, a smidge of cobalt, and a hint - just a hint, or else the compound will explode - of hydrogen peroxide. Superheat it to 500 Kelvin and there's your formula. And the best thing? It turns out to be pink!"

The coffee maker stops. Tadashi grabs a pitcher of milk and make two quick sloppy hearts, then hands over her coffee, along with her croissant.

"Here you go. Sorry the art's bad, I'm still new to this whole thing."

"I think it looks amazing."

"You do?"

"Absolutely."

Honey takes one of the cups and her croissant, heading towards the door. As she pulls it open, she hears Tadashi behind her.

"You forgot one of your cups!"

She stops for a moment, just long enough to look at him, grin, and say "It's for you!"

"Honey?" She looks up and sees Tadashi, standing in the door to her lab, holding a tray with four cups. "Are you pulling an all-nighter?"

"You noticed? I thought I was being quiet."

Honey glances down at the vial she's holding. Tadashi, however, smiles.

"Honey, everything you make is meant to explode, in some way, shape, or form. Plus you use a blowtorch to heat things up fast, and those are loud. Quiet isn't your style." Honey laughs. Tadashi seems to be really good at making her do that, for some reason.

"Anyway, it's a good thing I am too."

"Why?" Honey asks.

"Because I brought you this."

Honey looks down at the cups and realizes Tadashi's gotten coffee for them. Two have the same white heart design she told him she liked, and the others have tulips.

"Wait, why are there four cups? Are other people here?"

"No," Tadashi says, "I just wanted some extra coffee. After all, Cass added something new this time. Said she was 'trying a new recipe' and wanted me to be her guinea pig."

"Well," Honey's heard of some of Cass's new recipes that ended in disaster. Then again, the coffee is a gift, and how bad can it be anyway? "Maybe it'll be good."

Tadashi grins and hands her a cup as he takes one for himself. They both take a sip. It tastes horrible, but Honey swallows it anyway. After all, she doesn't want to be rude.

"This is terrible. Did Aunt Cass switch sugar with salt or something?" Tadashi wonders.

Honey shrugs. "Now I see why you got two extra cups."

"Yeah, Completely random, but there's a sink over here."

Honey and Tadashi pour their cups down the sink and take the remaining two. They spend half an hour like that, just sitting in her lab, sipping coffee, and talking, or, in Honey's case, speed-talking, about projects. Eventually, of course, Tadashi goes back to his lab to work on Baymax and Honey stays in hers. She doesn't get much work done that night, however - she adds hydrogen to a mixture instead of helium, and the bright orange combination that was supposed to be blue explodes in her face. Still, she thinks as she wipes off the last remnants of her failed experiment, it was worth it.

Honey wanders into the Lucky Cat Cafe, feeling lost and confused and, more than anything, broken. It's been mere days since Tadashi's funeral, and grief is tearing her apart, ripping at her from the inside. Every moment, she prays that Tadashi will pop up out of nowhere and say "Fooled you!" and grin and make her laugh the way he always does - no, did. Because he's not there to do it anymore. Honey collapses into a chair as she looks at nothing, lost in her thoughts.

"Honey?" Aunt Cass walks up to her, holding a tray with a steaming cup, "Honey, I . . ." She trails off, because there are no words for this kind of pain. 'I brought you some coffee. It has the coffee art design you said you liked." Cass places the cup in front of Honey. Memories come rushing to the forefront of her mind, of Tadashi giving her her first cup of coffee, of her buying Tadashi coffee, of her spending the night drinking coffee with Tadashi. Honey stares at the cup, and pretends not to notice when a single drop falls into it, marring the perfect white heart.

Hello! I'm back, and I decided to write more Tadahoney (and feels). Basically, this is the canon one-shot. If I can, I'll write two more, the next one being a present-day one-shot, and the last one being a barista one-shot. I really hope you enjoyed reading this! (By the way, good criticism is completely welcome. Tell me what I'm doing wrong. Also, please review!)
