Tadashi made his way through the crowd while he kept a close eye on his younger brother. He was trying to have fun and let lose, but Hiro was so small... He could get swallowed up in the sea of nerds. When Fred suggested they all go to Comic con the oldest Hamada thought it was a great idea, completely forgetting that thousands of people would also be attending. Even though he was on the verge of a break down, Tadashi had to admit a lot of the costumes were cool. Fred and Honey demanded that everyone dressed up so they would blend in.
The chemist of the group decided to be Super Girl and Wasabi agreed to be Bat Man, cape and all. Fred went all out and wore a monster suit, while Gogo just wore cat ears. That left the Hamada brothers. Hiro dressed as Ash from Pokémon. His costume must have been spectacular because it was their first day there and already 60 people asked for his picture. Tadashi's Iron Man costume was more on the casual side. He wore a black shirt with an arch reactor in the middle of his chest, and he used his 3D printer to make one of the hands. People complemented him when they noticed the reactor actually light up, but other than that most of the attention went to Honey and Hiro.
Although the crowd raised Tadashi's blood pressure, amongst all the Batman's and Deadpools he could occasionally find his guilty pleasure. While the guys in his group would be staring at slutty Disney princesses, Tadashi would steal glances at a group of Madoka Magica cosplayers. No one really knew that Tadashi loved magical girl anime, except Hiro who teased him relentlessly. Yes he liked other types of anime, but there was something about super powered shojo girls that was appealing to him. Maybe it was because he grew up watching stuff like Sailor Moon and Power Puff Girls. His new favorite anime just so happened to be Madoka Magica.
Hiro looked up and noticed his older brother staring at the group of girls in ridiculous costumes. He knew which one Tadashi couldn't take his eyes off. The girl dressed as Madoka, Tadashi's favorite character, was actually quite cute from what he could see.
"Go talk to her." He shoved his brother forward.
"W-what?" Tadashi blushed at the thought of it. Normally he was more out going and confident, but the Madoka cosplayer had him weak in the knees.
"You've been checking her out for the past 10 minutes, just go talk to her." Hiro laughed and pointed to the girls.
"I have not been checking anyone out. I was just admiring how accurate their costumes were." He lied, he was totally checking her out. What if she saw? He thought. What if she thinks I'm a creeper?
"Who was he checking out?" Wasabi asked Hiro, ignoring Tadashi's death glare.
"The one dressed as Madoka. Pink pig tails." The teen pointed her out.
Wasabi took a moment to asses the girl in question. "She's cute. You should go talk to her."
"I was just looking at her costume." Tadashi hissed.
"What ever you say man." Wasabi could see right through him. "Let's get something to eat before Fred starts finding food on the floor."
The gang ended up at a Mcdonald full of people in costumes. Inside the restaurant was too crowded so the Hamada brothers volunteered to get the food while their friends found a spot to sit outside. It took a good half an hour just to place their order but after that the food came out quick. The boys were trying to push the door open without dropping everything when the door swung open and a sweet voice asked:
"Do you need help?"
Tadashi looked up from his arm full of food and saw the Madoka Magica girls standing in front of him. Madoka held open the door with a concerned look. She was so close now. Tadashi noticed that she wasn't wearing a wig, but actually dyed her hair pink. And she wore contacts that made her large eyes seem pink. On top of her impressive attention to detail the girl had a cute face.
Hiro couldn't tell if his brother was speechless because he met Madoka; or because there was a cute nerdy girl with long legs and a nice rack talking to him. After it became painfully obvious Tadashi wasn't going to answer Hiro decided to help his brother out. "Yeah, if you could just help us carry this to our friends that would be great."
"No problem." Madoka smiled before turning to her friends. "You guys get in line. I'll be right back." Madoka took a bag from each brother and walked next to Tadashi. "I love you guy's costumes by the way." She said with a little bounce in her step.
"You like my half asses Iron Man?" Tadashi laughed, slowly gaining his confidence.
"Well it's no Ash Ketchum," She giggled and gestured to the younger Hamada. "but the arm and arch reactor are pretty cool. And besides, if you wore his whole suit I wouldn't get to see your smile."
She's totally flirting! Don't screw this up! Tadashi screamed in his head. "I-I guess your right." He whimpered as his face turned red. Damn it Tadashi, why are you such a nerd?!
"Forgive my brother, he never learned how to talk to girls." Hiro teased, earning a dirty look from the older Hamada.
Madoka giggled. "He hasn't said anything wrong so far." As they approached the nerd squad Honey and Fred waved furiously to get their attention. "Which ones your girlfriend? Super Girl or cat-ears?"
"N-no their not my girlfriends! I mean their girls and their my friends, but I'm not dating them- Not that there's anything wrong with them." Tadashi was rambling but he couldn't stop himself. Thankfully Hiro saved the day.
"What he's trying to say is that he's single."
The magical girl smiled. "So am I. Looks like we have a lot in common."
Hiro rolled his eyes as his brother turned a shade darker. The only way this girl could get more obvious is if she wore a sign around her neck saying 'DO ME'. If this is how Tadashi acted around all women Hiro was never going to be an uncle.
Madoka stayed and helped pass out fries and sandwiches, still flirting with Tadashi every step of the way. His friends tried their best not to laugh at his shy behavior, but failed miserably. Just before she left Madoka rocked back on her heels and gave Tadashi a bubbly smile. "Me and my friends are going to be at Marco's later tonight. You should come if you're not doing anything."
Marco's... That's a bar not to far from here. The flirty cosplayer stared to leave when he called out. "Wait!" She stopped and turned to face him. "How will I find you?"
"Don't worry." She giggled. "I'll still be Madoka."
"Your going." Hiro told his brother. Tadashi was trying to convince Hiro that he wasn't interested in Madoka, but the younger Hamada could see through his lie. "She's practically begging you to bang her."
"Where did you learn to talk like that?" Tadashi chastised the teen.
"Never mind where I learned it, you need to get ready. Can't have her waiting on you."
A sigh escaped his lips. "Hiro I really don't think that it's a good idea."
"Of course it is! That Madoka chick was fine as can be!" Hiro couldn't wrap his mind around it. The chance to possibly go home with a hot anime geek seemed to good to be passed up by anyone, but here Tadashi is trying to get out of it. "What's the real issue here?"
Talking about his sex life with his little brother was not something Tadashi wanted to do but he didn't see a way around it. "It's just I've never done anything like this."
"You're a virgin?" Hiro crinkled his nose.
"No I'm not a virgin, I just never had a one night stand." Tadashi admitted. He wasn't the type of gut to hit it and quit it. He's been with a few girls, but they were always dating. This whole situation was new to him and he wasn't sure he wanted to be that kind of person.
"Well there's a first time for everything." Hiro said. "It's just sex."
Tadashi was starting to worry that Hiro would end up being one of the dads on Sixteen and Pregnant. "I don't see it that way."
"Look at it this way. You can go out have a nice time with a cute girl. If you bang her fine, if you don't fine; just don't leave her hanging."
"She did invite me... And it would be rude not to show up..." He sighed. "Alright. I'm going."
Hey guys! It's my first Tadashi story! I got this idea the other day while I was looking through tumbler and I just had to make it real. At first it was going to ne Hiro, but I thought Tadashi seemed more like the closeted Madoka fan. Anyways it will probably only have 2 parts, so it's gonna be pretty short. Hope you like it so far.
