I don't own Big Hero 6.

Tadashi insisted on staying with Hiro in the ambulance. He held his little brother's hand the whole time, although he wasn't even sure if Hiro was conscious or not. The boy's face was pale and his breathing was still laboured.

Fortunately, the nurse in the ambulance was friendly and reassured him that Hiro would be fine. "Between both of you, you saved his life," she praised. "He did a good job to call 911 immediately, and he'd be in a worse situation if you weren't so quick to get his epipen and inhaler."

Tadashi managed a small smile, subconsciously rubbing the back of Hiro's hand with his thumb.

Time skip:

Hiro had to be kept quiet for an hour or so, but then Tadashi was allowed to see him.

Tadashi felt nervous as he looked round the door, unsure as to how Hiro would look. To his relief, the younger boy looked fine. Not 100%, but getting there.

Hiro looked overjoyed to see Tadashi, who rushed over and hugged him tightly.

"Honestly, bonehead," murmured Tadashi, pressing his cheek against the top of Hiro's messy black head. "Not even a month and you're already back in hospital."

Hiro giggled. "Sorry…"

"I'm not mad." Tadashi cupped Hiro's chin in his hands, staring at his brother lovingly, tears in his eyes. "I was just scared and worried."

Hiro leaned forward slightly. "Are you crying?"

"Uh, maybe just a little-"

Hiro reached out his hand and wiped his older brother's tears away, shocked. "Don't cry, bro! I'm fine!"

Tadashi chuckled and ruffled his hair.

There was a short silence.

"So…what exactly did you eat, bonehead?" asked Tadashi carefully.

"It was just a chocolate bar," shrugged Hiro.

"What kind?"

"Snickers."

Tadashi looked at him in horror. "SNICKERS?! You idiot!"

"I forgot, okay!" retorted Hiro.

"You forgot about your allergy?"

"No, I just didn't really look at what kind of chocolate it was…"

"How did you even get it? We don't buy snickers and they don't sell them at SFIT."

"Ty gave it to me."

Tadashi groaned in frustration. His brother was such a dope at times! "Hiro, you must never take food from someone who doesn't know about your allergy without checking it first!"

"I know, I know!" Hiro was getting frustrated, too. "Calm down. I'm sorry, okay?"

Tadashi took a deep breath and pulled Hiro into another hug. "I know, baby bro…I'm so sorry. Just be careful in the future, all right?"

Hiro nodded. "I will, Dashi!"

The door burst open, interrupting their brotherly moment, and Ty charged in. Before Hiro had even noticed, the young man had thrown his arms around him and was hugging him even tighter than Tadashi had.

"Ty?" Hiro was shocked.

"Ty." Tadashi's eyes narrowed, and Hiro gave him a warning glance.

"I'm so sorry." Ty let go of Hiro, seeming genuinely anxious. "I had no idea! I would never have bought a snickers bar if I knew…"

"It's okay, dude. It's my fault for not checking," assured Hiro.

"Hmm," said Tadashi. "I'll forgive you, Ty." He nodded at the young man, giving him a slight smile.

Ty was visibly relieved. "Thank you! How long will you be in hospital for?"

Hiro shrugged, so Tadashi answered for him. "He should be out by tonight. He'll be back at college tomorrow."

"Great!"

Later that evening:

Hiro had been brought home at 5:30 PM. He and Tadashi had worked together on their homework in the hospital, so they were free all evening.

Hiro honestly didn't know how he felt about Ty. He still didn't trust him, but he was warming to him. However, he wasn't even sure that he wanted a friend. He had Tadashi, and Go Go and the rest. Tadashi was his best friend and he didn't really care about having any others. He was perfectly content with the way he was.

"Penny for your thoughts," remarked Tadashi, interrupting Hiro's deep thinking.

Hiro smiled feebly at him. "I was just daydreaming, that's all."

"Whatever. The new Star Wars film is on. Wanna watch it?"

Hiro nodded eagerly. Tadashi got up and came back a few seconds later with a large bowl of popcorn. He placed it on his lap, and smiled as he felt his Hiro snuggle into his side.

As the brothers became engrossed in the film and shared their popcorn, both of them forgot all about Ty and anyone else.
