A Helping Hand: Hiro Hamada/Older!Male!Reader

Summary:

Being an art student was a little costly, even with the scholarships, and you needed the extra cash to get by.

You just hope that things will work out for you. You started working at the Lucky Cat Cafe, it was a cute little bakery that you passed by each day when you went to school.

Notes:

This is set after the movie, and you are about 18, and you're an awesome artist.
I wrote this because there are literally no male reader fics with Hiro Hamada. Also I just saw the movie yesterday and I am an emotional wreck...So many feels.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: First Day of Work

Chapter Text

Looking at your reflection one last time in the bathroom mirror and smiled before leaving for your new job.

You had gotten up early to iron a white button down shirt, a black vest, and black slacks and topped it off with a red tie and plain dress shoes. Secretly hoping that you weren't too dressed up but you wanted to look nice for your first day on the job.

 

"You're gonna do great," You smiled widely as you rolled up your sleeves to your elbows and grabbed your school bag. "I might as well do homework during my lunch break."

 

~*~ Mimi Timeskip to the cafe~*~

Slowly walking into the baker and seeing your boss, her name was Cass, setting up the tables for the day.

 

"Good morning," You smiled at her before you started helping. "Sorry for running a little bit late."

"It's fine, I'm just glad you're here." Cass beamed before examining your clothes and laughed for a moment. "Don't you look all dapper."

"Is it too formal?" You nervously shift your weight around and set the last chair down. "I just wanted to look nice since it's my first day here."

"A little bit but it's fine, just wear jeans tomorrow." Cass laughed again and walked over to the staircase. "Hiro, breakfast is ready!"

"I'll remember that," You scratched your cheek and chuckled before blushing a little bit. "What do you need me to do this morning?"

"Have you eaten anything yet?" Cass asked as she tossed you a white apron. "It's pretty early after all."

"No, I didn't think about it." You admit with a weak smile and glanced at the staircase. "So who's Hiro?"

"Hiro is my nephew and I wish he would get down here and eat." Cass gave exasperated sigh and shook her head. "If it's not too much trouble could you please get Hiro up for me? I have to preheat the oven and run out to grab a few things before we open up for the day."

"No problem, I can do that." You tied the apron around your waist and headed up the stairs. "Be back before you know it."

 

 It took you a few minutes to find out where Hiro's room was and you lightly knocked on the door. A muffled groan from the other side was all you heard.

 

"I'm coming in," You warned before opening the bedroom door and stepped into Hiro's room. "Rise and shine, sleeping beauty."

"Five more minutes...aunt Cass." Hiro murmured in his sleep and pulled the covers over his head. "I'll be there in a sec."

"Nope," You smiled at the boy, pulling the blinds up, and opened all of the windows. "Your aunt sent me up here to get you up, so get a move on. My shift starts in thirty minutes."

 

Hiro shot up from his bed to see you with your arms crossed and a little smile on your lips. He vaguely remembered that aunt Cass mentioning that a guy was going to start working at the bakery.

After rubbing the sleep from his eyes Hiro took a moment to get a good look at you; a few years older than him, you sported a few piercings, slight five o'clock shadow, [e/c] eyes, and you seemed to be in generally good shape.

Overall you reminded him of one of those models for teen clothing.

 

"Good morning," You chuckled at the boy before ran a hand through your messy hair. "Your breakfast is done, come on you need the brain food."

"Ok...thanks uh..." Hiro slowly got out of bed as you raised a brow at him. "You're the new guy?"

"[Name], [Name] [Surname]." You offered a hand to him and smiled brightly. "Nice to meet you."

"Likewise, Mr [Surname]." Hiro shook your hand slowly before letting go. "So I'll be down in a sec, gotta go to the bathroom."

"Just call me [Name], no need to be formal." You laughed a little and shrugged. "Don't fight when nature calls, I'll be downstairs, see you in a few."

 

Hiro watched you leave, heart hammering against his chest, before hurrying to the bathroom. Once he was finished with his business, he ran into his room and quickly got changed into fresh clothes, then ran down the stairs and into the bakery to find Cass wasn't there.

 

"She was preheating the oven but had to run out and grab some last minute things," You munched on a muffin with a slight smirk. "She told me that you need to eat before you head out to class."

 

You were just sitting at one of the tables, munching away on your muffin, and gestured to a brown paper bag and a plate of food. Hiro took a seat across from you and started to dig in. He glanced at the paper bag then to you with a raised brow.

 

"I packed you a lunch, figured you'd be busy with school." You finished your muffin and licked finger tips clean before standing. "I'll see you later, tell me what you think about the lunch I made."

"You didn't have to do this." Hiro blushed a little before finishing up his breakfast. "Thanks though, I mean you didn't have to put yourself out for me."

"It's fine, I wanted to, sure I threw it together in about ten minutes but I think I did pretty good." You winked at the boy before dusting off your apron and smiled. "You should probably get going, I'll clean up."

 

Hiro blushed again before glancing at the clock and grabbed his backpack and brown paper bag before hurrying out the bakery door.

 

"See you later, have a nice day at school!" You called out from the doorway before going back to the table and grabbing Hiro's plate. "He seems like a sweetheart."

 

Heading into the kitchen with plate in hand, you placed it on the counter and ran water in the sink. Once the sink was done filling up with warm water, you turned the tap off, and began washing the dishes from breakfast. 

It didn't take long for you to finish washing the dishes and drying them before putting them all away. Just then you turned too quickly and ended up hitting your head on one of the open cabinet doors. 

 

"Ow!" You yelped and began rubbing the sore spot. "That really hurt. Ugh just when I thought I could go one day without getting hurt."

 

You winced as you left the kitchen and saw a marshmallowy thing in the cafe. It didn't look like it would be of any kind of threat to you.

 

"Hey there big guy." You gave a weak smile and went back to rubbing the sore spot on your head. "Can I help you?"

"Hello. I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion." He said in a calm and relaxed tone. "I heard a sound of distress. What seems to be the trouble?"

"Baymax, nice to meet you." You gave a genuine smile this time, the guy was just adorable. "I just bumped my head, that's all, nothing too serious."

"On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your pain?" Baymax asked as he blinked slowly. "I will scan you to see if there's any other injuries."

"It's fine, just a little bump." You reassured to Baymax and let a small chuckle out. "I'll be just fine."

"Scan complete. You have suffered a minor head injury," Baymax stated in a knowing tone. "Treatment being an ice pack and something to keep the swelling down."

"Wow...that's amazing!" You beamed to the robot. "I'll take something later, I have work to do right now."

"You are my patient, I will help you to feel better." Baymax waddled over to you and dispensed a white pill. "Take this right away and the swelling will go down."

 

You just laugh at him before heading to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water to take the pill. Not even there for two hours and you already loved working at the Lucky Cat Cafe.
