My Brother is a Former Bot Fighter
There are many times Hiro thought Tadashi was fishy. He doesn't like stepping in the dark side of San Fransokyo, or if he did , he is always lowering his baseball cap as if hiding his face, and for some reason, knows all the complicated streets and alleyways in there that even Hiro didn't know existed (when Tadashi is rescuing him) and most of all he flinch everytime he will talk about the former bot fighter champions... literally flinch
"Hey, Tadashi? Did you know apparently there's a known winner nine years ago, named Kitsune? Funny right?" Hiro said browsing for more information and glanced for a minute to Tadashi, who is in pajamas drinking a shake, visibly flinch but this time Hiro noticed his brother's chocolate eyes widened, making some of the shake spill into his feet
"...what's up with your reaction?" Hiro said slowly while raising a brow and scanning Tadashi. 'It is different than his previous reaction...' he noted
"Uh- wh- ha- what? What reaction?" Tadashi nervously said as he hurriedly placed the shake into the table in his bedside nervously.
Hiro ignored it and went on reading what is written on the web "interesting, apparently "Kitsune" was around ten or eleven years old and he is already a champion, huh" Hiro said, impressed at the kid, completely missing out the way Tadashi scrambled to Hiro's laptop. He only saw him closed the computer hurriedly.
"What?! I'm reading!" Hiro said, frowning at the older Hamada
Tadashi forced a laugh for a minute then glared at him after thinking that his reaction isn't supposed to be laughing "That website is... very .. very not good... I mean it's illegal" he blurted out
'What?' Hiro asked himself in confusion
"No, no I mean bot fighting is illegal so you should not bother looking for the details of the previous champions of the bot fights. I-i don't want you , no, I forbid you to hack into that website and look for more bot fights venue okay?" Tadashi said sternly, blocking the computer.
Hiro blinked slowly before shooting Tadashi a suspicious look "why'd you know all that stuff?"
"B-because of you. Not important, I need a walk" he said as he walked to the side of their room and grab his cap and cardigan
"Great! Let me join too!" Hiro said not giving Tadashi a time to reply as he grabbed his own jacket and ran downstairs.
Walking during the night is fun for Tadashi because it is the time when you can feel the fresh, cool air and have a quiet time but it defeats all the purpose if... if you bumped into someone familiar with your brother.
A red haired man around Tadashi's age approach them with a smile"Hey! Dude, long time no see! How are you Kit-"
"Tadashi! It's Tadashi!" Tadashi immediately interrupted. He immediately recognized the man, he was one of his companions back in the day when he was still... well. But if he remembered correctly, his name was
"Christian, right?" He said calmly on the outside but inside all he wanted to do was run away.
"Yup, you remembered!" He said cheerfully
Hiro looked at his brother curiously. He didn't knew that Tadashi has a friend like that... and he looked awfully familiar, like, he had seen him somewhere. He noticed his brother's troubled face so he decided to butt in "I'm Hiro his younger brother." Christian looked surprised for a second before looking back at Tadashi and smiled "Oh you're Hiro! The bot fighter!" He said while hand shaking him
'Bot fight! That's right l saw him in every bot fights in here!' His eyes widened in realization for a second before also realizing something 'why is Tadashi acquainted with a bot fighter?'
Christian continued on praising Hiro but one sentence caught his attention "so you followed you're brother's footsteps huh" he said while hitting his shoulder lightly. Tadashi panicked internally when he realizes where the topic is going
"Huh?" Hiro asked feeling confuse
"Ya know, also a bot fighter" he said
"Hu- what? He's not one" Hiro said laughing nervously and ignoring the uneasiness that settled in his stomach
"Kid, he is one! He's Kitsune! The former cha-!"
"Okay, I think that's enough for today. Bye Christian! We gotta go" Tadashi said immediately grabbing Hiro by his hood and ran away from the scene back to their home.
"Tadashi, what was that?" Hiro said once they settled in their bedroom.
His brother who is currently facing the wall, deeply sigh before facing him up "Hiro..I-i wasn't supposed to tell you this" he paused for a second "but after mom and dad died. I-i got kinda depressed so I searched for something as a distraction... so I kinda got into bot fights. But that was very wrong and I am very ashamed that I entered that fights, so please don't follow my example" Tadashi said
It took time for Hiro to digest all those information but after a painful silence he finally managed to move and the first thing that came out from his mouths were "... you got depressed? I-i never for once thought that you got depressed! I can't remember any thing that showed you were depressed that time!"
"Of course I was, I have emotions you know?" He pauses for a second " but that's all?" He asked cautiously
"No. I mean wow! My brother's a bot fighter!" Hiro exclaimed
"Former" he ignored his older brother "and you were a champion! Y-you're Kitsune!"
"Were"
"That's awesome!" Hiro gleefully said earning a glare from Tadashi. "You know we should fight sometime" he suggested
"Not gonna happen"
Tadashi closed his eye 'I'm sorry Hiro but... that's not the only reason why I became a bot fighter... I... was and still am guilty'
