Different Angles
It's Called Sharing
The many things the Hamada brothers have shared.
Hiro wrapped his thin arms around himself as an attempt to warm himself from the bitter cold. He and Tadashi were walking back home after picking up some groceries for Aunt Cass. Tadashi carried both bags with one hand, while the other one was tucked neatly in his pocket.
"I h-h-hate winter," the younger Hamada shivered. "S-so cold."
"You can have my mittens," Tadashi smiled as he took off his gloves and handed them to his brother. Hiro took his hands out of his pockets, took Tadashi's mittens gratefully and put them on despite already wearing a pair. "Wait, you're already wearing some!"
"Double the comfort and double the warmth," he replied matter-of-factly. A gust of wind suddenly flew by and made Hiro chill to the bone. "Nope. I was wrong. Still cold. Still so very, very cold."
Hiro suddenly felt warmth envelop him. When he looked up, he found Tadashi wrapping his red scarf around him.
"Do you feel warmer now?" he asked, smiling.
Hiro felt bad that Tadashi had to give up his mittens and scarf all to keep him warm. He didn't want Tadashi to get sick because of him. So, Hiro took the red scarf off and wrapped it around both of their necks.
"Now I do," he grinned.
They walked the rest of the way home sharing a scarf.
Tadashi ate his homemade lunch, savoring every bite of Aunt Cass' delicious food. Tadashi noticed the sparkle in his brother's eyes whenever he picked up a piece, and watched as it vanished the moment the food entered his mouth.
"You're staring at my food like you wanna marry it," Tadashi said.
Hiro stared right into his soul, "I do."
Tadashi put his chopsticks down and crossed his arms. He concluded, "You forgot again."
"Yeah… But I was in a rush, so…" he smiled sheepishly.
"Look, I don't have any money to pass to you today," Tadashi took out an extra pair of chopsticks. Hiro's face brightened the moment he saw them. "So we're gonna have to share."
"Fine by me!" Hiro exclaimed, grabbing the chopsticks and shoving the food in his mouth hastily. "Thanks, Tadashi, you're the best!" he exclaimed with mouth full. Tadashi laughed as he watched his brother wolf down his lunch, and took bites of his own here and there.
Tadashi stayed up until four in the morning to finish up a project. He got up at seven, attended his eight o' clock classes, up until four in the afternoon. He got home at five, did his homework and ate dinner, and it was now nine in the evening, and he desperately wanted to go to sleep.
Unfortunately, Mochi chose today of all days to rip up his mattress, so bed was on the floor tonight.
He glared at the ceiling, "Today is the worst day of my life."
"Yeah, no kidding," Hiro answered while fixing up Megabot in his bed. It suddenly grew silent. Hiro looked down to find his brother's face buried in his pillow. He frowned, feeling really bad. He scratched the back of his head, "Um… Tadashi…"
"Hm?" he answered, his face still buried in his pillow. When he received no answer, his head shot up and he glared daggers at his younger brother, who displayed a look of terror. Hiro had never seen his brother like this before. Tadashi was usually calm and gentle. This was a completely different person. "Look, Hiro, I've had a long day, and if you're not gonna say anything, please keep quiet," Tadashi said crankily, throwing his covers over himself.
Hiro looked at his bed thoughtfully. He was positive that it was big enough for two people to fit in it.
Tadashi had always been there, sharing his things with him even when Hiro didn't ask for them. Maybe it was time he returned the favor.
"We can share my bed," Hiro said.
Tadashi threw off his covers and looked up at him. "Are you sure? I don't mind sleeping on the floor."
"Yeah, I don't mind," Hiro said, giving him a small smile. Tadashi quickly got up from the floor and threw himself on the bed, crushing Hiro in the process. "Ow! Hey! Get off, Tadashi! You're heavy!" Hiro tried to wiggle his way out, but to no avail. "Tadashi! I mean it, you're-"
He was interrupted by the sound of heavy breathing. He looked down to find his big brother sleeping peacefully. Hiro slowly and gingerly squirmed out from underneath the fat lump, who was Tadashi.
"He's taking up all the room," Hiro facepalmed. "Guess this leaves me no choice."
He snuggled up into his brother's chest, and let himself drift off into a peaceful sleep.
A/N: You knew that sharing a bed scene was coming LOL.
Headcanon: Hiro and Tadashi are huge brocons. Hah.
