Love Justice (Male!Reader x Hiro Hamada) - Part 3

Immortal Love, (Im)Mortal Justice (Male!Reader x Hiro Hamada) - Part 3

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! You've been warned.

(M/n), having recognized the man nobody else than Robert Callaghan, began to feel his heart beating faster and adrenaline rising in his body, as he continued to walk in (M/n)'s direction. (M/n) was about to stand up and confront him, but then a thought popped into his head, stopping him:

"No, this is a bad idea to do it here in the park with all the people around. I'll just follow him where he's going and then we'll see what happens next."

Deciding to go with this thought, he remained seated on the bench while trying to relax and act like a normal citizen. Callaghan just walked by, not even bothering to look at him, and carried on with his stroll.

"Well, it's now or never." said (M/n) to himself, standing up from the bench and beginning to walk slowly after him at a careful distance, so he wouldn't spot him.

-------------------------------------------------------

After what seemed like eternity of trailing after him, while in reality it was only a few minutes, (M/n) finally saw him entering a house. After Callaghan entered his home, (M/n) quickly walked over to the house to look at it.

It was a typical Victorian house, the one that was everywhere in every street of San Fransokyo, but this house also had a small front porch, which was a bit strange to (M/n).

After looking around and seeing nobody nearby, (M/n) then carefully and quietly as he could walked up the stairs. Once he reached the top, he looked around for any sight of pedestrians again, so he wouldn't raise suspicion from them of an unknown boy trespassing to an owner's property. Luckily for (M/n), the coast was clear.

(M/n) was about to press the doorbell, when suddenly another thought popped into his mind:

"What the heck are you doing, (M/n)?! You've just found out where he lives, and now you're about to confront the man who was released on parole and can still be dangerous! You should better remember his address and confront him later, when you're ready. For now, you should leave him alone."

(M/n) decided to go with the thought, but he still decided to spy on him through a window for a while.

(M/n) walked over to the window and, after looking around one more time to make sure no one was watching him, he carefully peered through it. His eyes widened at what he saw inside.

He saw Abigail sleeping in a bed, while beside her was Callaghan sitting on a chair. He was looking at her with a sad look on his face. He then stood up, kissed her on her forehead and left the room.

(M/n), witnessing it all, turned away from the window.

"So that's why he was released on parole: it's because his daughter Abigail was released from the hospital, and she's now in domestic care. And since Callaghan is the only family member of her, he was released so he could take care of her..." hypothesized (M/n) in his mind.

After standing on the porch for a while, thinking about it all, he decided it was time to leave and return back to the Lucky Cat Café.

He looked at his watch, which read 9:45 AM time. He had 15 minutes left to return.

"Well, time to go back." said (M/n) quietly to himself while descending down the stairs carefully, and began walking back to the direction of the café.

"But first, I need to remember his address. Otherwise how am I going to confront him after seeing him only once and not knowing where he lives?" said (M/n) to himself, nearly forgetting the most important detail.

After quickly walking back to the front of Callaghan's house, (M/n) then pulled out his smartphone, opened the Memo app and typed down into it Callaghan's house number and the name of his street. After he was done, he put it back into his pocket, and then began walking back to the café, using the easily remembered parts of the streets to go back the same way he came while following Callaghan.

"Good thing I did that, otherwise I would be SO lost in this city." said (M/n) to himself, while continuing walking.

-------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Hiro was walking through the streets, thinking about where could have (M/n) gone. And more importantly, about what (M/n) told him the previous night.

(M/n)'s confession about wanting to track down Callaghan and demanding his apology got Hiro quite surprised and worried about him. Even though (M/n) told him that he wanted ONLY an apology from him, Hiro was concerned that (M/n) would still cause harm to Callaghan.

Robert Callaghan only wanted his daughter back, but also made Tadashi die, nearly killed Hiro and his friends and endangered many people's lives in the city, including entrepreneur and tech guru Alistair Krei, who unintentionally made his daughter Abigail to disappear in the portal. But after she was saved by Hiro and his team, the San Fransokyo police arrested him. And now, according to (M/n)'s news, he's free now, wandering God-knows-where in San Fransokyo.

And one thing also circled in Hiro's mind: if the news about his release were everywhere, how come Hiro didn't even hear about them?

"I should watch the news more often." he thought in his mind, but at that moment, he suddenly bumped into someone.

"Oof! Oh, I'm so sorry-" Hiro immediately began apologizing, but stopped when he looked up and saw who the person was.

"Hiro!" exclaimed (M/n), when he realized it was his best friend Hiro that he just walked into.

"(M/n)!" said Hiro cheerfully, before leaping at him, squeezing him in a hug.

"Oh (M/n), I was so worried about you! Where have you gone?"

"I'll explain it all to you, if you stop hugging me to death, Hiro." said (M/n), his voice slightly hoarse from Hiro's hug.

"Oh, sorry." said Hiro, letting go of (M/n), while slightly blushing.

(M/n) chuckled from Hiro's overreaction.

"Let's go back to the café, shall we? Aunt Cass will be worried about you." said (M/n).

"Okay, (M/n)." said Hiro.

And with that, (M/n) grabbed Hiro's hand, and they both began walking back, hand-in-hand, to the Lucky Cat Café.

-------------------------------------------------------

As soon as (M/n) and Hiro entered the café, (M/n) was greeted by a big hug from Cass. Probably much more death-crushing than that from Hiro before.

"(M/n)! Finally you're back! I was beginning to worry about you! Where in the world were you?"

"I was out for a walk, and then I bumped into Hiro here, so we decided to go back home together."

"But why did you leave so early this morning?" asked Cass.

"I just felt like going early, that's all. Didn't I tell you that I'll return at 10 o'clock?"

"Oh, right! I must have forgotten about that while working here. Sorry if I overreacted back there."

"It's alright, Cass. Now if you excuse us, me and Hiro would like to go upstairs now."

"Sure thing! See you later!" said Cass happily, allowing (M/n) and Hiro to go upstairs to Hiro's room.

As they began walking up the stairs, Cass continued to look at them.

"They look so cute together." she said to herself, smiling, before turning back to her work.

-------------------------------------------------------

After they both entered Hiro's room and (M/n) closed the door, he walked over to Hiro, grabbed him by his shoulders and said in an enthusiastic tone:

"Hiro, you're never going to believe who I just met today."
