I don't own Big Hero 6 or any characters.

A dark haired woman entered the classroom, a pile of books in her arms. She smiled at the students. "Good morning! I'm Professor Hammond. Most of you are new here, so I welcome you to SFIT, especially Hiro Hamada; our youngest ever student!"
Hiro blushed deeply, averting his gaze to his desk as everyone stared at him.
"How old are you?" asked someone.
"Fourteen," muttered Hiro shyly.
A girl whistled. "Fourteen? You must be clever then, right?"
"You don't say," said Hiro sarcastically, before he could stop himself.
Professor Hammond interrupted, to his relief. "Anyway, moving on. So..."
Hiro enjoyed the lesson. Although he was shy, he had a cocky side and loved showing off his intelligence. He knew pretty much everything about computer science already and didn't struggle at all with any of the work, but Ty struggled quite a bit. Hiro could tell that the older male was copying a lot of his notes, but he pretended not to notice.
After class, Hiro grabbed his backpack and rushed out. Tadashi wasn't there, so he leaned against a wall and texted him.
Dude, where are you?
Moments later, Tadashi replied.
On my way. Meet you in a minute x
Hiro cringed as he read the message. He really needed to tell Tadashi to quit putting kisses after all his messages. It was weird.
"Hey!"
He looked up to find Ty almost on top of him.
"Hello," said Hiro politely, moving away slightly. He frowned. Hasn't this guy heard of personal space?
"Whatcha doing?"
"Waiting for my brother."
"Your brother's Tadashi Hamada, right?"
"Yeah."
Ty nodded. "Of course. Tadashi Hamada. Perfect grades, perfect behaviour. All around model student, to be honest."
Hiro glared at him suspiciously. Ty's words were nice, but it sounded a lot like he was making fun of his older brother.
"Tadashi works hard for his grades," said Hiro.
Ty laughed. "I'm just messing with you, I know he does."
"He wants to work in the medical industry," explained Hiro. "He's going to develop lots of technology that will help diagnose illnesses and cure them and…"
"I'm sure he is," said Ty, interrupting before Hiro could tell him Tadashi's entire life story. "Anyway, wanna come and get pizza?"
"I'm waiting for Tadashi," said Hiro, hesitantly.
Ty rolled his eyes. "You can't spend your college life tagging after your brother. He wants to be with his own friends."
Hiro stared. "You don't know us!"
"Dude, he just wants to hang out with people his age, trust me. He may tolerate you, but he's probably bored of you."
"Hiro!"
Before Hiro could retort, he looked up to see Tadashi striding towards them. He grinned and looked smugly at Ty as Tadashi ruffled his hair and put an arm around his shoulders.
"Want to get pizza, little bro?" asked Tadashi, after they had fist bumped.
Hiro smiled and nodded. "Sounds good!"
Tadashi glanced at Ty. "Hello," he said. "Who are you?"
"I'm Tyler Roberts," said Ty.
"Oh," said Tadashi. "Anyway, Hiro and I had better get going. See you around."
Ty glared angrily as the brothers walked away.
"So, how's it going?" asked Tadashi excitedly, as he and Hiro sat down to eat their pizza.
Hiro shrugged. "All right. The class is easy enough."
"That's my bro," said Tadashi proudly. "Only you could say that on your first day of college."
Hiro laughed. "How's it going for you?"
"Good, good. Everyone's still talking about Baymax! There are a couple of things I need to fix in his programming but I'm hoping that soon, many Baymaxes will be made and distributed to hospitals all over America and eventually, the whole world. It's gonna help so many people! I've made plans to visit hospitals with him and see how it goes."
"Won't that put a lot of people out of work, though?"
"Not at all. The aim of Baymax isn't to replace doctors, it's to help them. There are many things that Baymax can't do or can't do as effectively as doctors. He'll massively improve diagnosis, though, and he'll help ensure that everyone is looked after at all times."
Hiro's heart warmed when his brother didn't mention money, not once. The most important thing is to help people.
