Hiro's POV:

I still remember that moment. That moment when all our worries faded in thin air. That moment that felt like I had someone there with me all this time.

That moment I realized someone had my back these years. That moment that I realized my sibling was actually my best bud who stayed with me for my whole

life. We both saw each other in a new light and it was great however... That wasn't exactly how it began.

"TADASHI! GIVE IT BACK!" The four year old boy (that was once was me) chased after his eight year old brother Tadashi upstairs. He grasped the miniature

robot tightly in his right hand as he avoided making contact with his poor younger brother. I chased him until Tadashi stopped. He held the metallic blue and red

robot high above his head. I tried to reach for the toy but it was no use. He was too tall for me.

"NA,NA,NA,NA! YOU CAN'T GET ME!" Tadashi sang. He always made fun of my height. I didn't know why but it didn't bother me that much though. I was used to

that type of criticism at school. Everyone in my grade one class was taller than me since they were already 5 or 6 years old. It wasn't my fault my parents put me in

pre-school when I was two!

"TADASHI! STOP IT!" I cried. I felt like a helpless fish out of water.

"YOU'RE SO SMALL HIRO! NORMAL KIDS IN GRADE ONE COULD EVEN REACH THIS HIGH!" Tadashi teased.

That...was... IT! My face was burning. He made fun of me since I was born but this time, it really stung at me. That sentance meant more than he thought

it was. Normal? I was normal! I was just underage and shorter than the others but that could still mean I'm NORMAL!

I was so steamed at Tadashi, I plopped on his foot and bit his leg with all my might. My face felt hot and all my energy drained into this single bite.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!" Tadashi screamed at the top of his lungs while he lowered to hold his leg. Hot tears rolled down his cheek as he gave a wail

of pain. He sobbed so loud, all of the customers downstairs wondered what that racket was.

Footsteps quickly pattered up the stairs as I tried to get the robot out of my brother's hands. His hands clenched around the robot as I tried to pry one finger

at a time. It was still too hard. I was still too weak.

Aunt Cass came up as soon as she heard the crying.

"You guys are making my customers leave!" She said sternly. Once she saw the sobbing Tadashi, she quickly got a tissue and ran over to him.

"What happened sweetie?" She gave him a big hug.

"HIRO BIT MY LEG ON PURPOSE! HE HAD NO RIGHT TO DO THAT!" The older brother snatched the tissue from Aunt Cass' hand and blew his runny nose.

"HIRO! Biting's not nice! You should have known that by now!" Aunt Cass was steamed.

"BUT..BUT...HE STOLE MY PRIZED ROBOT! I...I...I..." I stammered.

"That is still unacceptable Hiro. I expect higher from you little man!" Aunt Cass felt like a very different person when she was mad.

Tadashi forced to cry even harder now. You would think a loving hug would help resolve pain. It doesn't apply to Tadashi however. He just wanted more attention.

"Come on now Tadashi, lets clean you up." She lightly patted Tadashi's head and headed straight to the bathroom.

The eight year old stuck his tongue at me once he got up. He started to walk to the bathroom but a voice made him stop.

"Oh, and give Hiro's robot back too." A loud voice came from the bathroom.

Tadashi was shocked that she saw the robot. "Fine then!" Tadashi pouted, "You better catch it Hiro!"

At first, I had no idea what he meant. But then, I saw Tadashi raise the robot high above his head again. His fingers around the robot loosened slowly as he passed

it towards gravity. The robot quickly slid out of his clammy hands and made contact with the floor.

THUD! The robot hit the ground hard so hard, its limbs and inners scattered around the ground.

NOOOO! This couldn't have happened! My favourite blue and red robot just got smashed to the ground! It's going to take so much time to rebuild it!

I ran all the way over to the place where Tadashi dropped it and started picking up nails, body parts and batteries. I don't regret that leg bite now. My face started

build up with tears as I picked up each little screw.

"TADASHI! YOU'RE THE MEANEST BROTHER IN THE WHOLE WORLD!" I screamed. I didn't care if I was driving customers away. I didn't care if Aunt Cass

comes out and gets mad at us. I just wanted a new brother and my robot back.

"WHAT 'S GOING ON! YOU TWO ARE A MESS!" Aunt Cass angrily dragged Tadashi the cry baby out of the bathroom, into the kitchen where I was.

"CAN'T YOU GUYS GET ALONG FOR JUST ONE SECOND!? I AM SICK AND TIRED OF ALL OF THIS FIGHTING EVER SINCE I TOOK CARE OF YOU TWO." Aunt Cass

really had her temper up now. Her face was as hot as a chili pepper.

"WHY? WHY? I really thought brothers had their backs all the way through this puzzle called life. YOU GUYS ARE PROVING ME WRONG! GET YOUR ACTS TOGETHER

AND QUIT WHINING! YOU ARE LUCKY YOU EVEN HAVE EACH OTHER! I BET MANY ONLY CHILDREN WANTED TO HAVE A SIBLING!"

"I was close to being one..." Tadashi rolled his eyes as he muttered to himself out loud.

"TADASHI! GO TO YOUR ROOM!"

Reluctantly, the eight year old moped all the way to his room. Technically, it was our room.

"HIRO! STAY HERE!"

"But..But.."

"LISTEN TO ME HIRO!" Her booming voice startled me.

She pulled a chair out for me to sit in. I hopped into it as she pushed it back in into the table.

Arms crossed, she stared at me with dark eyes. I really hoped she would go downstairs now. It felt like she was staring into my soul and I didn't like that. Putting

my head in between my crossed arms on the table, I was sure that she would get out of the room now. It didn't happen. When I peaked through my arms, she

stood strong like a soldier.

"Please, please, just go. I need alone time as much as you need good brothers." I whispered to myself, " Just a few minutes, that's all. Then you are free to hang

out with me. Or just do whatever you're doing right now."

It took about 5 minutes before she realized that hungry customers were still waiting for food.

"OH NO! I have to go! Mad rush coming!" Aunt Cass ran downstairs as quick as she could.

Alone time at last! I just needed to reflect on my life. My anger was still lying on top of Tadashi but it was also on top of myself too. Why did I have to be so

obsessed with mechanics? Why did Mom and Dad have to put me in school so early? Why am I so short? How come I'm notnormal?

All of these thoughts floated around but I immediately thought of Tadashi. Maybe he is right. Maybe I'm not normal. You could just put me in a circus act and call

me 'Hiro the Abnormal'. I felt lost. I felt cold. I felt like a loser.

This story isn't going to be as long as my Big Hero 7 story but I thought since I was doing an after Big Hero 6 fanfic, why not do a before? Even though I was

for this story to be just 2-3 chapters, I hoped you liked it so far. :)

Comment, Review? I love to hear your opinions. ;)
