Yamaha Ch 7 (Tadashi x Reader insert)

He sat the table, mug in his hand, and eyes narrowed onto Tadashi who fidgeted from Wasabi’s glare at him.

He had just told Wasabi the whole story from his side.

How you and Tadashi were glued to the hip, that is till you had to move away to take care of your aunt. How it had broken his heart when you left him, and with the death of his parents in that crash on the way home it was even worse. And since he was so young his parents had set up the account to talk to you. He had no idea what any of the information to it was.

“A-And that's it, I’ve been wondering how she’s been doing, if she was ok. Everything! I even still have the truck she gave me back then...” He had trailed when he was done, looking down at the mug in his hand, waiting for Wasabi’s response.

And following that was about 5 minutes of tension filled glaring from Wasabi as he took in the information and tried to determine what to do. It all made sense. He remembered you mentioning Tadashi’s name at some point, but only really talked about how you two did everything together, and how you and your ‘bestest friend in the whole world’ and you would get back together and have so much fun.

But after the first few months of receiving nothing on that computer of yours.. you kinda gave up that idea and stopped talking about Tadashi. He knew you always thought about him, there would be this look in your eyes when something reminded you of him. A glint of happiness for a few seconds before they’d haze over. He knew Tadashi still had an affect on your life, some days back home you’d be silent for a while, even before your grandmother died.

Most importantly he knew that Tadashi still mattered to you, and that you secretly cared about him. Even if you would never admit it and try to block him away. He knew you.

And that's why he thought of the best way to handle this situation.

He sighed pushing the mug away and straightened himself in his seat making everyone at the table jump a bit. He folded his hands on the table and looked dead straight at Tadashi.
“ I believe you. And I will apologise for acting so rash and impulsive before,” there was a collective sigh from the group and a smile formed on Tadashi’s face.

“So I can go talk to (Y/N), right?” He asked his smile getting brighter as he said your name.

“No” Wasabi said bluntly his face serious and unwavering.
Tadashi blinked at him “W-What? Why not? I-I haven’t seen her in 14 years! And now she's here and knows I’m here and-”

“Thats exactly the reason why. She knows that Tadashi that she thinks abandoned her is here.” he pointed out jabbing his index finger at the table.

“And knowing the (Y/N) that is here with us now and not the one you use to know…” he sighed leaning back against his chair “She isn’t going to willingly forgive you or listen to reason right off the bat.”

“Ever since her grandmother died she wasn’t one to easily to forgive and forget…. She also started blocking people out when it came to her problems, she’ll talk to you but she’ll be more pulled back from everything, like her body is in auto pilot and she's just watching from above.

“It took her a while to get over what happened to her grandmother, and when she did it. We didn’t try to get her out of it, we were patient and helped her with somethings. But she has to get over it herself first.”

He looked around at everyone seeing that he had their undying attention, he sighed once more sitting up a bit. “ So with that being the case… you guys have to act like you don’t know any of this,” he looked between Honey, Fred and Gogo. “No asking about her past, no trying to get her to met Tadashi in secret, no prodding her with questions all the time.” They nodded at him.

“Of course!”
“Wouldn’t dream of it.”
“You got it.”

He then looked at Tadashi, “That also means you can’t go seeking out for her, as much as you might want to. If you want her to ever want to talk to you and possibly be comfortable around you, you better let her cool off.”

He was silent for a moment before he nodded looking down at his mug.

Wasabi nodded as well and stood up. “Well I’m going to go over and check on, (Y/N). I’m pretty sure she thinks that I’m the only one who saw her run off.”

They all looked up at him and smiled nodding before getting up to leave as well. Honey hugged him after Fred patted his shoulder whispering a goodbye and Gogo gave him a long tight hug.
“You’ll be able to help her, Harold. I know you will.” she whispered into his ear before kissing his cheek. He was taken back by the action but quickly recovered and smiled down at her before saying goodbye.

The three friends left the Café, leaving the kind giant and raven haired boy alone.

Wasabi looked over at his friend who was still looking down at his mug and sighed giving a sad smile to him. He walked up to Tadashi and rubbed his shoulder, “Tadashi, its fine. I understand why you couldn’t talk to her and it's been eating at you all this time.”

He smiled squeezing his friends shoulder gently “ I actually want you two to be friends again, it would make (Y/N) happier and like how she was when she was little.”

“Did I really hurt her?”

Wasabi blinked. “ Huh?”

Tadashi sighed leaning against the table on his forearms, head in his hands.
“I-I hurt her… I made her feel like she was abandoned.. She must hate me,”

Wasabi shook his head, “Tadashi no, she doesn't hate you. I know that when you two get back to talking, you’ll both be able to forgive each other and be like how you use to be,” he patted his shoulder. “Just give her some time,” he explained in a  reassuring tone.

Tadashi sighed once more and looked up at his friend with tear gleaming eyes.
“.. Thanks, Wasabi. Really, Thanks for everything” he says a small smile on his face.

Wasabi smiled back at his friend. “ I want to see my friends happy, even if it means beating the snot out of the other.”
Tadashi winced before he started to chuckle. “I really thought you were gonna send me into next week with that look on your face! Am I thankful Aunt Cass came out when she did.”
Wasabi chucked, taking his hand from the raven boys shoulder to rub the back of his neck. “Heh, yeah I got kinda reckless there didn’t I?” He chuckled as his friend stood up.

“It’s fine, i’m pretty sure I would have done the same,” Tadashi sighed looking over at his friend.

“... I’m happy you were there when I wasn’t. She needed a friend to count on and I w-”
“Tadashi, don’t say that, she talked nonstop about how you were always there for her and how much she thought you were the greatest. I got jealous of you sometimes.” He admitted chuckling a bit when he saw the look on Tadashi’s face.

“She-... she was my everything when we were little..” he confessed rubbing his shoulder.

Wasabi gave another smile to Tadashi this one kind and warm as he wrapped his arm around Tadashi’s shoulders giving him a sight quick squeeze.

“And that's why we are going to fix this, Tadashi. Don’t worry” he repeated himself over reassuring his friend it would be alright.

Tadashi hoped so. He wanted his mother's promise to be true.  

But in life, fate had other plans.
