I don't own Big Hero 6
Chapter 2
Tadashi felt as if Hiro slashed his heart with a really sharp razor. He was stung with his little brother's terrible words.
But I deserved it, he thought sadly, as he watched his little brother walk away. I was the one who hurt him first.
He tried again. "Hiro, please wait!" he called to his little brother, who was stomping, as he quickly rushed to catch up with him.
Tadashi held his little brother by his shoulder- gently. "Hiro, please, listen to me," Tadashi begged. "I'm very sorry-"
"Sorry doesn't do anything!" Hiro interrupted coldly. He didn't care how his big brother was feeling. He hated him.
"You didn't hear what else I had to say," Tadashi protested. "Listen to me, I love you, and I really didn't mean what I said. Please, forgive me, little brother." Tears were streaming down his cheeks. "You're the only family I have besides Aunt Cass, and I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost you."
He reached out to hug his little brother, but Hiro was quick to pull away.
"All my life, I always looked up to you. I always loved and trusted you. You were my hero, and my only best friend." Hiro sounded as though he may breakdown any second. "But you have your friends, so I guess you don't need me." That did it for the younger Hamada. As soon as he said it, he instantly started sobbing, which made Tadashi's heart break. He never saw his little brother this upset. How he hated himself at the moment!
His big brother instinct kicking in, he kneeled down and tried hugging his little brother, hoping to be able to fix with him- but it was no use.
Hiro was quick to pull away again, as he stormed out of their shared-bedroom, with a lot of tears streaming down his cheeks.
"Oh, no," Tadashi muttered to himself sadly, as he went to his side of the room, and sat on his bed. He put his hands on his face. He was hopeless. It was all his fault that their bond was broken. "What have I done?" he murmured to himself.

"Are you boys alright?" Aunt Cass asked, with a hint of concern in her voice. It was during dinnertime, and ever since the Hamada brothers came down for dinner, Aunt Cass has been noticing a strange silence between them. Hiro was eating his aunt's saucy face-melting chicken wings slowly, with no interest. And Tadashi hasn't touched any of his dinner since he came down.
The older Hamada forced a smile as he tried to eat his chicken wings.
"Oh, we're fine, Aunt Cass," he said with a fake smile. He noticed Hiro giving him a cold look, which made him feel even more awful. Ever since their little fight, Hiro hasn't been himself. He has ignored his big brother the whole day.
"Did I make the wings too spicy?" she asked. "If I did, I could…"
"Oh, no, no," Tadashi interrupted. "Your chicken wings are amazing. As usual." He forced another smile as he picked one of his wings, and pretended to eat it with interest when all he wanted to do was retire early.

Tadashi entered their shared-bedroom to find Hiro on his way out, with a blanket and a bunch of pillows.
"Where are you going, Hiro?" he asked.
"To sleep down in the couch," the younger Hamada answered quietly, without looking at his brother.
"Why?" Tadashi asked, as he crouched down in his brother's level.
"You know why!" Hiro snapped. "So I could be out of your hair, like you wanted me to be all that time. There! Your dream is coming true! You happy now?"
"No, no, Hiro. Don't think like that! That's not true!" Tadashi pleaded as he managed to tilt his little brother's chin up so he could look at him. "Hiro, listen to me," he began, gently. "You know that I always enjoyed your company ever since we moved here, and started sharing a room. You're my little brother, and I love you more than anything. You're even not just my little brother but best friend, too. Please stay, it wouldn't be fun without you. And no, I'm not happy you're leaving. Honest." He reached out, and gave his small hand a light squeeze.
The brothers were silent for a moment. "Or you want me to sleep in the cold floor tonight?" Tadashi finally added, joking slightly. Hoping to persuade his brother to stay.
Hiro shook his head, and pushed past his brother. "After what happened, I don't care if we're brothers, but we're not best friends anymore!"
Tadashi was so horrified at what his brother said, that he didn't know what else to say. He sighed. "Do you need help carrying your things?" he asked, thinking that the least he could was to be nice.
Hiro shook his head. "Thank you very much, but I don't need you," he said snootily, as he went downstairs with his sleeping gears.
Tadashi sighed again, as he went to his side of the room and got ready for bed. Now he was alone in their shared-bedroom, without his beloved baby brother. He sighed for what seemed like the millionth time. He was so upset. If only he had never been in a bad mood. If only he never talked to his little brother while he was in this mood. If only he calmed himself down before he spoke. If only-
The older Hamada's thoughts were over-flooding, as he felt like beating himself up. He tossed and turned all night, his thoughts on his little brother. Will Hiro ever forgive him? Will they ever bond again?
Tadashi sighed as memories of his little brother flooded back to him. He remembered when he would lift up his cover for seven-year old Hiro to climb in beside him when he had a nightmare, and the days when he rescued him from bullies. He was proud to be someone, who could protect his baby brother.
He also remembered their fun nights together alone, when Aunt Cass went out. They would play video games, or go out for a walk. He wondered if he would ever have those moments with his little brother again. After staying up for a long time, he finally drifted off into a restless sleep.
Hiro lay on his makeshift bed on the couch, which was honestly a bit uncomfortable compared to his real bed back at their shared bedroom. He tossed and turned restlessly. Part of him wanted to go back to his and Tadashi's bedroom but at the same time, he didn't want to give his brother the satisfaction that he was coming back. How he hated him at the moment!
He sighed as he thought of Tadashi. Admittedly, a tiny part of him missed his big brother a little. He missed his soft smile and his warm hugs. Also, he missed the days when Tadashi tucked him in at bedtime. Yes, he even tucked him in at 14.
For a moment, just for a moment, he thought of accepting his apology but then he thought, No way! He had hurt me first, and he's got to pay the price. So no, I will never forgive him!
Tadashi was so soft and kind-hearted that he thought he would never ever say such a thing, until this day.
Unlike you, I have friends who I could hang out with when I don't have anything to do.
A tear slid down Hiro's cheek as he remembered his brother's hurtful words.
Tadashi always said that he'd be there for him every step of the way. He remembered Tadashi's gleaming smile, and the hands that had taken care of him since he was really little.
Yes, he apologized and saw how desperate he was to fix with him, but still. He felt so stung that he just couldn't bring himself to accept his apology.
Like Tadashi, he stayed up for a long time until he, too, finally drifted off in a restless sleep.
I apologize for the boys OOCness, but I just had write this story.
I'm open to all reviews and criticisms, but no flames and insults, please!
