Tadashi stood there, holding her, his forehead pressed against hers while he smiled.
"I missed you Su~ītī." Honey Lemon whispered as she looked up at Tadashi and bit the corner of her bottom lip.
"I know, but I'm back now Dārin." Tadashi gave her a warm smile and he kissed the top of her head and pulled her into his arms and rested his chin on the top of her head.
They stood there like that for what seemed like forever, until they both heard there was a bright flash followed by screaming thunder and Honey Lemon heard her dog let out a scared cry as he came rushing towards the back door.
"I'm coming koinu!" Honey Lemon rushed to the back door to let her startled dog in, when she looked out at the oak tree to see Hiro sitting on a low branch of the tree in her backyard.
"Hiro is outside." Honey Lemon said, puzzled, as she walked over to the front door and grabbed her rain boots and an umbrella.
"You mean he's out there in the pouring rain?" Tadashi asked, worried as he watched Honey Lemon walk out into the backyard.
Tadashi, without grabbing anything, quickly ran out into the rain and over to his little brother.
"Hiro, get down from there!" Tadashi yelled over the pounding rain. Hiro looked at him, and then quickly moved, higher, up the tree.
"Hiro! You're going to get hurt! Get down!" His brother yelled again. There was a bright flash of lightning and the cracking of thunder, and Hiro gasped.
He knew being in a large tree, this high, during a violent storm like this was dangerous, but he didn't feel like coming down and going inside.
He felt like being alone in this tree, even though he was terrified of being hit by lightning.
"Hiro-" Tadashi yelled again, but Honey Lemon cut him off.
"Hiro, I know you are upset and that you want to be alone, but can't you do that in the house, or the garage? Or how about Tadashi and I help you set up your own bedroom and you can go hang out in there? Tadashi and I promise not to bother you, but please come out of the tree!"
Honey Lemon pleaded as she looked up at Hiro, under her pink umbrella that had a little dogface painted onto it and small fabric ears that popped up from the surface of the umbrella.
She was bone dry compared to Tadashi who stood, sopping wet and shivering as he looked up at his brother hopping he would come down quickly.
"Hiro, please!" Honey Lemon pleaded again, but it wasn't Honey Lemon's voice that Hiro heard. His mind was playing with him, Honey Lemon sounded like Gogo for a moment, but he knew that couldn't be true.
Gogo had left to go be a bot fighter; Hiro assumed he just missed her.
"Hiro Hamada get your butt out of that tree right now, or I swear I will climb up their with you and drag you down by your ear!" Honey Lemon screamed again, but again it sounded like Gogo and Hiro continued to ignore her.
"Go away Honey Lemon." Hiro spoke as he re-tied his shoelace.
"What? Honey Lemon? Hiro what are you talking about? Hiro, you better get down before you get hurt!" Gogo's voice screamed again and Hiro finally turned his head down towards his brother and Honey Lemon, ready to yell at them both when he saw Gogo standing there in a black hoodie, popping her gum like she always did.
His mouth dropped open and he sat there, staring at her like she was a ghost.
"Gogo?" He whispered, almost as if he was unsure if she was actually there or this all was a dream or hallucination.
"Well you gonna come down or am I gonna have to come up and get you?" She asked, her arms crossed with her left hip popped out to the side, still smacking down on her gum every time she blew a bubble.
"I'm coming…" He said, still in disbelief as he slowly started to climb down the large oak.
"I'm stuck!" He yelled as he clung his arms, best he could, around the thick trunk of the tree.
"What do you mean you're stuck?" Gogo hissed, and Hiro groaned.
"I mean I'm stuck, Gogo! I'll fall if I keep going!" He screamed and Gogo sighed.
"Jump!" She suggested and Hiro's eyes widened.
"No!" He stared at her like she was crazy.
"Go ahead, Hiro, Jump! Tadashi will catch you!" Gogo yelled, Hiro knew when things sounded like a bad idea and that right there sounded like one.
"No!" Hiro yelled as he clung tighter to the tree. "I won't do it!" He yelled squeezing his eyes shut, why hadn't he just stayed on the swing?
"Come on, Hiro!" Gogo pushed, and Hiro only latched on tighter. He stood on that branch for what seemed like forever until another large flash of light ran across the sky and a deafening crack of thunder rang out and made Hiro jump, causing him to slip off the branch he was on.
"Tadashi!" Hiro yelled as his brother dove to catch him, and they both splashed into mud.
"Are you crazy? Why did you jump off the top of a tree?" Tadashi yelled, he was annoyed but at least Hiro was out of the tree.
What did Tadashi mean he jumped off the top? He had climbed down, and gotten stuck!
"Hiro! Are you alright?" Honey Lemon gasped as he knelt down in the mud, dropping her umbrella checking him for injuries.
"Hiro that was very dangerous what you just did. Please don't do that again." She pleaded as she finished checking him over for injuries and only found a couple scratches on his arms.
Hiro, distracted by other things, searched the yard for his sister. She was here two seconds ago. Where had she gone?
"Where's Gogo?" Hiro asked, looking at his brother who looked distressed.
"Hiro… Gogo is back at her house. Are you feeling alright?" He asked and Hiro ignored him.
"No, she was here! She told me to jump out of the tree!" Hiro yelled again, and this time Honey Lemon and Tadashi passed started looks at one another.
"Let's talk about it inside." Honey suggested and Tadashi nodded as he helped Hiro up and they all walked inside.
"Sit here, and don't move." Tadashi sternly said and Hiro plopped down onto the sofa as Tadashi grabbed Honey's hand and they walked into the other room.
"Tadashi, we need to get him to a doctor or a therapeutic one. I don't know, but he says he saw your sister."
"No, no doctor's it'll just freak him out."
"Well then what do you suggest we do?" Honey Lemon whispered and Tadashi thought long and hard until his face lit up with an idea.
"I've got the perfect plan. You stay here, I'll be back. And watch him!" Tadashi hollered as he walked to the front door, grabbed his car keys and got into his car and left.
Honey Lemon sighed as she walked in and saw that Hiro was watching television.
"Hey kiddo, let's get you fixed up." She smiled as Hiro turned off the tv and followed her to the room she and Tadashi shared. They walked into the bathroom, Honey Lemon cleaned up his cuts, and gave him some dry clothes.
"Now what?" He asked as he sat on the edge of the bed and Honey Lemon threw the wet clothes into the laundry basket and picked it up.
"Well I promised you a room. Are you still interested?" She asked and Hiro looked at her and gave her a small shrug and a nod all at once.
"Alright, then come on." She smiled as she led Hiro down the hall of the second floor and into a small bedroom with a window a few feet from the bed that was pushed up against the blue painted wall.
The bed had a white comforter spread across it, with gray pillows, and a thing orange throw blanket at the end.
There was a black wood desk in a corner of the room with a paper lantern lamp, and an empty spot for a computer. And in the corner across from the door was the closet, it was small, but it wasn't like Hiro needed much space anyway.
"Does this work?" Honey Lemon asked and Hiro nodded as he walked in and looked around some more.
"Why don't you go get your boxes of things and bring them up and you can unpack until Tadashi comes back." Honey Lemon smiled and Hiro nodded as he quickly went down to get his boxes and disappeared into his room.
Honey Lemon did some laundry, fed the animals and then went to go start dinner just as Tadashi pulled up onto the driveway.
Honey Lemon grabbed the chicken out of the fridge and cut the packaging open when Tadashi came banging in through the front door carry a large red plastic box.
