So this one takes place long before the movie takes place, when they parents died and Tadashi is left answering a sad Hiro's question. Not exactly sure on the ages here, but just think whatever age you want to.

Disclaimer: I do not own Big Hero 6. The story title also comes from Travelling by Ambulance by Monarchy.

Burnt Fingers
X. The Duty of a Brother

"They aren't coming back…are they, 'dashi?"

Tadashi never thought he would ever have to answer this question.

Hiro was staring at him, tears welling in his eyes as he waited for a response from his big brother.

As much as Tadashi wanted to lock himself away, to try and forget this was happening, he knew he was all Hiro had left.

So he choked back a sob, shook his head and opened his arms. Hiro fell into them, sobbing into his shoulder.

"It's okay, Hiro. I've got you."

They would get through this together, and Tadashi vowed to protect him.

Hope you enjoy.
