Big Hero 6: The Art Thieves

Chapter 26: Beary Soft and Fluffy

My phone ringing woke me up as the sun was just high enough to come through my window. I pick up my phone and see that it is Honey calling, "Hey Honey, how are you?"

"Good, how are you? What are you doing today? Shopping trip?" Honey said in one breath.

"Yeah sure, shopping trip would be great, I need to pick up a thank you gift for Aunt Cass. Ill meet you there soon." I said goodbye and hung up, getting up and getting ready.

I walk down the stairs and see Aunt Cass baking in the kitchen of the café. I walk in and grab an apple before explaining my plans for the day. I walk out of the door saying goodbye over my shoulder, just as the boys come down the stairs. I stick my tongue out at Hiro and walk off down to the corner to meet Honey Lemon.

As we head to the shops, Honey asks me what sort of gifts I had planned on getting for them. "I was thinking about a stuffed bear for the boys and a stuffed cat for Aunt Cass. I have a stuffed pony but I know everyone is different and I have no idea if they will like them, but I'm not sure what else to get them."

We pull into the car park and head to Build a Friend. Honey and I start to look around before I start complaining about too many options. Cute options, but too many still.

I find a cute pink lion with a yellow star on its belly, I giggle to Honey, "This will be perfect for her, its so cute." Honey nods as I look around and see a captain America bear. One of the girls who works at the store came up to us, "Good pick, you can also pick out different outfits as well."

I nod and start to look around, quickly finding an Iron man one. I start to make them and look around while I do, that's when I see it; a baseball uniform, cardigan and baseball cap. I grab them and head to the counter where Honey is, when she sees it, she looks at me and says "They will love them. Tadashi especially, even more because its coming from you."

I turn cherry red as I reply, "Hone, I only like Tadashi as a friend, nothing more." A few people look at me when they hear what I say. She giggles and shakes her head at me as we head to get some lunch. We chat for a while before she looks up at me, "Do you know anything about who is taking the art work form the museums?"

I shake my head as I reply, "No. They are getting more and more bold though. It's sad that they can't find them and retrieve the art work." She nods in agreement and we finish up our lunch before heading off to do more shopping. We finish up and head to the car and then home. "Thanks for today. It was fun and I'm glad I have someone to hang out with, that isn't the boys." I say smiling at her.

"Yeah, it was fun. And after today, I'm starting to see you as more of a sister then anything."

On our way home, we go past an ice cream shop and decide to stop for one. We sit outside, enjoying the nice day when Honey looks over a me, "You know, I think it's cute that you have a crush, just, don't let it get to your head too much."

I try and hide my blush as I respond, "I won't, don't worry. Besides, I don't think he likes me like that anyway."

Honey puts her arm around me as we head to the car, "Don't worry, he will come around eventually."

We walk into the café and both the boys and Aunt Cass are sitting at a tale in the café, "Hey, I have something for you all." I walk up to them and hand them the bags with their bears in them. Aunt Cass lets out a little squeal when she sees hers, "I love it, thank you. It's so cute." Hiro just gins at me and says, "Thanks Onesan, I love it." I smile at them both and turn to Tadashi. He looks at the bear before looking at me, "Thanks, I mean I probably won't cuddle it or anything, but it is cool. Thank you."

My smile dropped faster than an anvil out a window, "Well they are thank you gifts for letting g me stay and being so nice to me since I have moved here. After dinner, we say goodbye to Honey and I so the dishes and clean up from dinner.

Hiro looks at his bear while talking to Tadashi, "You know, you didn't have to be so mean. It was sweet of her to get us gifts, and they are pretty soft." He finishes as he hugs his bear, Tadashi looks at Hiro before back at his own bear, "Yeah maybe, but I'm not a little kid."

As I get ready for bed, I can't help bet let a few tears escape, I wipe them off and take a deep breath before climbing under the covers.

Tadashi lays on his bed, looking over the bear. "Alright, maybe you are cute and soft. And maybe a bit cuddly. And maybe you do looka a bit like me, and I guess, Sakura did make you for me." He starts to play with the shield, "But that doesn't mean I like you." The bear kept looking at him as he looked it over. After a couple of minutes, Tadashi lets out a yawn and rolls over, bringing the bear with him.

Hiro hides a smirk as he gets into bed and watches Tadashi cuddle into the bear and says just loud enough for Hiro to hear, "You are warm and do smell like cherry blossoms. Maybe if I just keep it a secret, no has to know that slept with you."

Hiro just smirks to himself, "Turns out you aren't too old big bro."

In the morning, Hiro woke up be Tadashi, when he looked over at his older brother and sees the bear still cuddled too him, he quickly takes a picture and sends it Sakura.

I'm woken up by my phone going off for the second morning in a row, only this time it's a message from Hiro. I smile when I see the picture and say to myself, "I guess he did warm up to the bear after all." I quickly set the picture for Tadashi's caller photo, be messaging Hiro back, 'Thank Hiro, best little bro ever.'
