It was one of those nights again. Tadashi was always saddened when they happened but he knew there wasn't much he could do about it. He held his brother close to him, trying to calm him down. It had already been a bad enough week as it were for him. First, stress with school and now just more of his PTSD flaring up.
"Shh…" Tadashi stroked Hiro's hair, trying to calm him down. "You're okay… you're okay… I'm here… I'm here…" he whispered.
"S-Sorry…" Hiro sniffled. "I… just last week really scared me… I almost lost you again… I had to almost watch you disappear… I… I just don't know if I could bear for that to happen again… it already hurt enough the first time it happened!"
"Shhh…" Tadashi nuzzled him a little. "I know… I was scared too… I didn't want to leave you again…"
That Unsettled was quite the doozy though… poor Hiro… He didn't need to go through that…
"I-I already lost enough… I hate it!"
"I know… I know…" Tadashi hummed softly, trying to get him to calm down again. "Oh Hiro…"
Hiro buried his face in Tadashi's shoulder, sniffling.
"Sorry…"
Gotta be a way to cheer him up… Something to clear his head…
"When I get through this I am SO bringing Hiro up here with me. He'd LOVE flying."
… It's worth a shot… Sure… he does it all the time with Baymax… but I haven't gotten a chance to let it just be him and me…
"Hiro… Hold on."
"H-Huh?"
"Just hold on."
Without another thought, he made himself and Hiro intangible before flying out of the room and up into the sky.
"WHOA!" Hiro hung on tightly as Tadashi soared on above the city lights of San Fransokyo.
Tadashi closed his eyes, focusing, his armor coming on as his gears appeared around him. He let them take hold of Hiro, letting the boy fly on his own.
"Come on, we're playing tag." Tadashi grinned, touching his brother's shoulder. "And you're it!"
Tadashi dived down, zooming away from his brother.
Hiro blinked a few times before smirking, chasing after his brother.
"GET BACK HERE!"
"NEVAH!"
The two chased each other around buildings, diving through clouds to lose one another, only for the other to find them again. Soon… Hiro caught Tadashi off guard, landing them both on a wind turbine.
"GOT YA!"
"NO! HE GOT ME!" Tadashi fell flat on his back, faking death. "I'm not… gonna... make it!"
Hiro laughed, hugging him. "I command you to make it, that's an order from the Nerd King himself."
Tadashi smiled, hugging his brother close.
"As he wishes then… Feel better?"
Hiro nodded, huddling close. "Much…" He yawned a bit, closing his eyes. "That felt good…"
"I'm glad… always did want to go flying with you with just you and me… I remember when I first learned how to that was my first thought. To take you up here because I knew would love it. Little did I know you were already doing that on your own."
"Well… it's one thing when it's Baymax…" Hiro rested his head on his brother's shoulder. "It's another thing when it's your older brother who has super powers…"
Tadashi smiled, getting up, holding his brother in his arms.
"Love you, Otouto…"
"Love you too, Nii-san."
"Come on…. Let's go home."
