They arrived back at the cafe after 4PM. When Cass asked, Tadashi said it was, "Nice to get out and just hang out with friends again." Then he had Baymax carry him upstairs to work on his program. Hiro hung back in the café. As soon as Tadashi was out of ear shot, Hiro pulled out his phone and told Cass all about dancing with Honey and the flowers. Then he showed her the video. Cass watched Tadashi and Honey dance. Her eyes filled with tears and a smile spread across her face.

"You can't tell Tadashi I took a video," Hiro said while Aunt Cass wiped her eyes.

"Alright. It will be our little secret," she nodded.

"He's getting better," Hiro remarked.

"He's not the only one," Cass smiled, ruffling Hiro's hair. Hiro snorted and headed upstairs. His bot was calling him.

"Shouldn't you be studying?" Tadashi asked from the couch. Hiro was back at the kitchen table.

Hiro grunted. "Too busy." He was bent of his robot, trying to make the scanner fit inside the compact body.

"You'll regret that when the professors start handing out test booklets," Tadashi warned. Hiro sighed, but pushed his bot aside and reached for his textbook.

Hiro studied and Tadashi watched re-runs on the TV. When Aunt Cass came upstairs, Tadashi went to help her finish dinner. Afterwards, Tadashi parked himself beside Hiro and started running through the test prep stuff with his little brother. Cass smiled. All the technical stuff went over her head, but it was good to see the boys acting so normal. Cass called it a night around ten. She left the boys with instructions not to stay up too late. Hiro and Tadashi were both drooping. Hiro's head bobbed over his textbook and Tadashi's jaw ached from yawning. But neither of them really wanted to go sleep. With night looming outside and the dark creeping in, the nightmares felt fresh and real. After a solid five minutes of staring at each other without seeing anything, just fighting to keep their eye open, Baymax intervened. "You both require sleep," Baymax lectured. Tadashi blinked at the robot and then nodded. He didn't resist when Baymax picked him up. He was too tired to fight it. Hiro trailed after the other two. His tired feet stumbled on the steps. In the loft, Baymax set Tadashi on the bad and passed him a pair of pajamas. Hiro changed quickly, shivering as the cool air brushed his skin.

Tadashi smiled tiredly when Hiro appeared in the gap in the divider. "Do you mind?" Hiro yawned.

"I'm the one who screams," Tadashi shrugged. Hiro didn't say anything, just climbed into bed beside Tadashi. He pressed his forehead against Tadashi chest and was asleep almost instantly. Baymax turned off the lights and went to check on the boys one last time. "You going to join the party?" Tadashi mumbled to the robot. Baymax lay down beside his patients and turned on his heater. His scan showed an increased heartrate and a hormonal shift associated with fear in Tadashi. Baymax intended to do whatever he could to help with the nightmares. When Tadashi drifted off into sleeps dark embrace, Baymax and Hiro kept him grounded. Their presence wove itself through his dreams, reminding him that he was not burning. Baymax's soft form was not the crushing weight of a ceiling beam.

Tadashi's cellphone rang at 1:15 AM. Tadashi jerked awake and found himself pinned between Hiro and Baymax. The phone buzzed and flashed on the nightstand. Tadashi groped for it, trying to reach over Hiro. Hiro moaned and grabbed the phone. He thrust it at Tadashi and buried his face in the pillow. Tadashi answered the phone.

"Hello?" Tadasi mumbled.

"We need to talk," Risa's voice cut through the fog of sleep around Tadashi's mind.

"What?' Tadashi frowned.

"We need to talk. In person," Risa repeated.

"Can it wait until morning?" Tadashi groaned.

"What time is it?" Risa asked.

"1:15," Tadashi groaned, running a hand over his face.

"Shit. I thought it wasn't 11 yet," Risa apologized. "The clock in the comp lab is off." Tadashi snorted.

"It's okay. Can whatever we need to talk about wait until tomorrow?" Tadashi said.

"Yeah," Risa sighed. "Sorry."

"No big deal. Where do you want to meet?" Tadashi asked.

"I'll text you an address," Risa replied. "Go back to bed, Hamada. Sorry I woke you up."

"Who says I was asleep?" Tadashi muttered.

"You sound either dead tired or high and I'm taking a guess and going with the first one based on your personality," Risa replied. Tadashi chuckled.

"You got me. I may have not slept for a week or so," Tadashi said.

"Sorry," Risa appoligized again. Tadashi could practically see her wince.

"It's fine. I'll see you tomorrow," Tadashi told her.

"Right," Risa agreed. They hung up and a minute later Tadashi's phone vibrated to inform him it had received a text message. Tadashi shut the phone off without looking and relaxed back into the pillow.

"Your stupid girlfriend needs a watch," Hiro groaned.

"She is not my girlfriend by any stretch of the word and she probably has a lot of watches, but she's just like you so I'm sure she uses them for parts," Tadashi replied. Hiro snickered at that. Tadashi was speaking from experience. "Any nightmares yet?" Tadashi asked sleepily.

"Not yet Hiro lied," he was actually grateful for Risa's call. He had to keep forcing himself awake to check on Tadashi- make sure he was real.

"You still a terrible liar," Tadashi sighed. He ran his fingers through Hiro's hair and draped another arm over the small of Hiro's back. Hiro sighed and relaxed at the touch. "Try to get some sleep," Tadashi ordered. Hiro mumbled something incoherent into the pillow and pulled the blankets up higher around his neck. The Hamada's drifted back to sleep.
