Chapter Text
The rest of the week had gone by without any problems. School was fine, though you were having a little bit of trouble finding enough references, but nothing to complain about.
You and Hiro got to know each other a little better and you considered him a good friend. Hiro's friends were fun to talk with, you got along pretty good, and you considered them as good friends like Hiro.
Baymax was a sweetheart, always checking on you and making sure that you were healthy. You had a weird but delightful friendship with the marshmallow robot, he knew just how to make you smile.
Aunt Cass treated you like family, she was kinda like the aunt you never had, and invited you over for dinner sometime next week. You had given her your number so if she needed to contact you.
But it was now the end of the school and work week. You were a little exhausted from staying up the night before budgeting for the month on top of schoolwork. But all your bills were paid on time and you had a lot of concept art for your project.
Now you were just waiting for Hiro to come home from school, working on even more concept art of the San Fransokyo heroes, and sipped on some coffee.
The cafe door opened, the little bell jingled, and Hiro sluggishly walked into the building. You could already tell from his footsteps it had been one of those days.
"Hello Hiro," You looked up from your drawing, stifling a yawn, and gave a little smile. "Long day I'm guessing?"
"That's an understatement." Hiro took a seat across from you and groaned loudly. "I'm close to finishing my latest project but I don't know why it's not working."
"Take a little break from it," You suggested as you sipped on your coffee. "Come back to it once you've cleared your head."
"I can't just leave it alone when I'm close to finishing it." Hiro whined a little bit as he ran a hand through his hair. "I need to know where I went wrong."
"Hiro, you're not gonna find the problem when you're not thinking clearly." You gave a little shrug and finished your coffee, it was rather endearing to see him act a bit childish. "As an artist I can tell you sometimes it's just better to take a little break from your projects."
"But I am thinking clearly," Hiro protested as you packed up your belongings, running a hand through his hair. "I'm just stumped right now."
You rolled your eyes at how childish Hiro was being, found it rather cute, and resisted the urge to pinch his cheek and call him adorable. Sometimes you forgot he was still teenager, what with him in college and all.
"Then you're not thinking clearly," You poked his forehead, eyes sparkling with determination, and laughed. "Take a few days off from it, do other things and I promise you that you'll be able to find out the problem."
"...fine I'll take your advice." Hiro pouted childishly as you cleaned up after yourself. "What should I do then?"
"Well whenever I'm stumped on something I try and relax," You began with a slight smile and laughed. "I usually go on walks, talk with friends, work on something else, watch a movie, or something I like."
"So I try and relax?" Hiro raised a brow at you. "But what if I can't?"
"Then give me a call and I'll help you out," You wrote down your number and gave it to him. "So spend this weekend relaxing."
"I'll keep that in mind." Hiro looked at the number with a slight smile and nodded, you just shrugged before ruffling his hair. "Goodnight...see you Monday?"
"Or if you wanna hang out for a little bit," You smirked a little before clearing your throat. "I don't have any plans during the weekend, so call me if you're bored. Goodnight, Hiro."
You gave him one last smile before walking out of the cafe, humming a random song as you walked down the street, and enjoyed the small breeze.
It took a half hour to get home to your simple apartment, unlocked the door and let yourself in. You kicked off your shoes, locked the door behind you, and tossed your backpack onto the couch.
Going straight to your room, plugging your phone in to charge, and slipped out of your jeans before flopping onto your bed. You were too exhausted to change into pajamas, so t-shirt and boxers would have to do.
Eventually you fell asleep, dreaming of nothing incredibly exciting, and smiled softly in your sleep.
You woke up, rubbing the sleep from your eyes, and looked at your phone; it was ten in the morning.
The faint sound of rainfall lightly lulling you back to sleep but you sat up and smiled softly to yourself. You adored the sound of rainfall, it was so peaceful and relaxing, making you wanna curl up in cozy blanket and sleep all day while you listened to the pitter patter.
Reluctantly you got out of bed, shuffling to the bathroom, and did your morning routine. Deciding to shave your scruff since it had been a few days.
Once you were clean and fully awake you heated up some poptarts and made some coffee to keep yourself awake. Putting on music as you went about your morning, feeling an overall calmness.
It was around noon that your phone had gone off, you looked up from your sketchbook, and checked to see it was Cass asking if you wanted to join her and Hiro for lunch.
You smiled widely before texting that you would be more than happy to come over. Deciding that it was a sweatpants and hoodie (aka wear pajamas instead of actually getting dressed) day you slipped on your sneakers, pulled your hood up.
Locking up the door behind you and smiled softly as the rain fell in a soft pitter patter sound.
How the rainy afternoon filled all of your senses, it caused you to smile wider, you walked down the practically empty streets, whistling a random tune.
