The rays of the early morning sun shone through the window, cascading light into the messy and chaotic room.

The alarm clock on the bedside table struck 7 a.m. as it rang its annoyingly high pitched beeping. A lump underneath the sheets started squirming since the beeping began. An arm lazily appeared from under the blanket, reaching out to the alarm clock button. The button was groggily punched as the arm went limp off the side of the bed.

Hiro's brown eyes opened slightly and quickly closed again. He laid on his bed for several moments. He was far too tired to get up and his bed was much too warm and comfortable to leave. It was a lot of effort to even think about getting up. He groaned in annoyance, considering to skip at least the morning classes.

Hiro groggily sat up on his bed, trying to open his heavy eyelids. He instantly regretted staying up so late from gaming until 4 a.m. Of course he knew it would backfire on him (or kick him in the ass) in the morning. Unfortunately still, he did not listen to his aunt, or himself for that matter.

In his moment of defeat, Hiro threw aside his blanket onto the ground and grabbed his pants from the floor. After putting on a clean shirt, he walked downstairs to see his aunt drinking coffee at the table with the newspaper.

"Morning sweetie," she greeted. Hiro mumbled something what sounded like a returned greeting and grabbed a mug of hot coffee.

"You shouldn't drink so much coffee, you know. It's not healthy for you," Aunt Cass said as she drank the rest of her coffee.

"Don't worry too much, I'm not 12 anymore. Besides, I need energy in order to stay awake these first morning classes..." Hiro protested as he added a splash of milk in his coffee. He sat down on the opposite of Aunt Cass.

"Jesus Christ!" She exclaimed,"Your eye bags! Did you stay up all night again?/i" Aunt Cass asked. She was worried of his health but Hiro just turned his head away from his aunt. "Hiro, you really need to stop staying awake for so many nights. You need at least 10 hours of sleep! It's really not healthy to not sleep. You need to find more time to rest, or at least go straight to bed after school."

Hiro just grunted. "Yeah yeah yeah, maybe if I'm not that tired to do even THAT." he said and grabbed his coffee. "The school ends at 3 p.m. See ya then," Hiro said a goodbye as he quickly grabbed his schoolbag from leaning the table leg and walked out from the café door.

His conscious yelled at him though, almost screaming that she was right. Hiro did know that what he was doing was not healthy at all, everyone else would say the same thing. Even Tadashi...

Aunt Cass is right. Hiro noted to himself that next time, he's not going to stay awake for so long like he did last night, just for his own sanity.

{ladurr}

The school felt like it was never going to end. 8 long hours of the monotonous-voiced teachers telling the stuff he already knew. He could've skipped the morning classes after all, it wouldn't have changed anything about what he knew.

Hiro walked back home while his backpack was killing his back with its weight. Oh, he couldn't wait to lay down on his bed, just to rest his back. Sure he could do stretching but who has time and energy for that?

He walked into the Lucky Cat café. First thing he noted that the place wasn't as crowded as it was yesterday, only a few people here and there scattered around the café. Aunt Cass was nowhere to be seen for now, lucky for him. Hiro left her quite rudely like an asshole this morning and he was sure he's going to get something like a lecture or worse… He'd prefer lecture.

Hiro looked around while trying to walk to upstairs, trying to spot where his aunt was, so he could avoid her as best as he can. A few people he passed looked at him rather suspiciously as he was walking around like a thief planning to do something or whatever.

When he entered the storage room he let out a relieved sigh, but shouted as he heard someone call his name next to him.

"Hiro?"

He looked at the one who called him, startled. There he saw May standing with a bag of coffee beans and sugar. She was looking at Hiro confused.

"Sheesh May, you gave me a heart attack!" Hiro said with a quiet voice, looking back to the café area. "You know where Aunt Cass is?"

"She went to the backroom. What are you doing sneaking around like that? You're making yourself conspicuous." May asked him.

Hiro relaxed a little as he didn't see his aunt coming out of the backroom. "It doesn't matter", he turned to look at May. "Hey, seems like you got the job!" he looked at her smiling. May rose her eyebrow suspiciously.

"You in a fight with your aunt or something?" she asked him, "and don't lie to me."

Hiro shrugged his shoulders with a look of discomfort in his face. "Eh, kind of… We weren't actually fighting, I just left like an asshole in the middle of her lecture of how I should stop staying up the nights and sleep more. The usual."

"Language, young man." May said a little sharply, and after Hiro apologized amused, she continued. "You do look like a zombie. How much you slept last night?"

Hiro, yet again, shrugged his shoulders. "About 3 hours I guess. You don't get to sleep much as a college man anyway, so it's no big deal."

May's eyes widened. "Dude, you need to sleep more! That amount of sleep is really unhealthy for your age!" She dropped the sugar and the bag of coffee beans and pointed the upstairs. "Come on. Off to bed, or I'll drag you there."

Hiro let out an awkward chuckle as he blushed hard. "Ahahaha, wait what?" He blushed even more as he noticed May grab his hand and pull him in the upstairs, going to his room. "Wait WHAT?!" He tried to get a hold of the handrail, or anything at all but May pulled him so Hiro couldn't grab anything.

"Don't try to escape, you're going to bed, my way or highway! You chose the highway!" May said as she continued to drag him to his room. When they arrived to upstairs and into Hiro's room, May pointed at the bed. "Well? There's the bed. Chop chop! Go to bed, now!"

Poor Hiro blushed ever-so-violently as his imagination started to run wild against his will. He stammered a little, trying to find something to protest with. "I-I… Uhhhh, I haven't even, had a shower yet… Soooooooo I can't go to bed!" Hiro managed to say. May looked at him frowned until going to his closet (shocking him even more or so), grabbing the first T-shirt and pants she got on her hand and throwing them at him.

"Well go wash up, you goob!" She said. Hiro wanted to protest even more, but gave up on the idea. May seemed to have said the last word. He walked into the shower defeated, leaving May into his room.

As he was taking the shower, the thought finally hit him.

THERE'S A FREAKING GIRL IN HIS ROOM.

HOLY SHIT.

This was the first time he actually had a girl in his room. Aunt Cass wasn't counted because she was actually a woman. Though, Gogo and Honey Lemon has also been in his room before… But Gogo was like "one of the guys", so she wasn't counted and Honey Lemon… Um… It's a different situation. She's an old friend, and May was a new friend and… Well, that doesn't make any sense... Still, since it felt like a total different situation, it was a different situation.

*CLONK!*

"Owww shhhit..!"

Shit. He should keep his room clean more often. "You okay in there? What happened?" Hiro asked loudly. He could hear shuffling from the next room.

"Yeah I'm okay. I just… Hit my head, that's all…" He heard May answer. She sounded rather distracted. Or, out of it. Hiro couldn't analyze the tone that well because it was in the next room and she spoke in a normal voice, maybe even more quietly. He hoped May didn't hit her head so badly that she would've got a slight concussion. The knock was pretty loud.

"Hold on, I'll be there in a minute!" Hiro shouted as he started to dry himself quickly. He put the T-shirt and the sweatpants May gave him and came out of the bathroom. He saw May looking at the big, white marshmallow-looking figure before her. "Oh, looks like you met Baymax."

May looked at Hiro with the same amazed look she was staring at Baymax. "Did- did you..?" She tried to say until turning back to the robot.

"I will scan you now." Baymax said until moving his head up and down. "Scan complete. You have a small bump on, the top of your head. I suggest laying down for a while, and informing right away if you feel very sleepy, dizzy, or you have a severe headache." The robot told the diagnosis and was about to escort May to Hiro's bed until May refused.

"It's ok, um… Baymax, I feel fine." She said chuckling and staring Baymax amazed for a while until turning to look Hiro. "Hiro, this is amazing tech! Did you seriously build him? Why has no one heard of this yet? I mean, Jesus! Just… Wow! You're amazingly talented, kid!"

Hiro felt uneasy and uncomfortable. "Um, thanks but… That's not my work." He said. May looked at him confused, but before she made it to ask, he continued. "That's… My brother's invention. He died in the fire almost an year ago." he looked down mournfully. For Hiro, it was still rather painful to talk about his brother. May's look of confusion softened to sympathy and sadness and she didn't know what to say.

"Oh..." she managed to say, after a long pause of silence. "I'm… I'm so sorry to hear that, Hiro." Hiro just shrugged.

"It's ok. It was um… a big misunderstanding." He said. He couldn't describe it as an accident, like he did an year ago, since he found out it actually wasn't.

The silence filled the room as two of them (if Baymax wasn't counted) stood there awkwardly, until May cleared her throat.

"I, uh, better go back to work before your aunt notices I'm here," she said as she started to walk away from the room, patting Hiro's shoulder affectionately as she past him, still showing sympathy. "Sleep well."

Hiro watched as May walked away, and felt awkward, feeling like he needed to say something back. "Uhh, yeah, um, see… See ya later." He managed to say, but she had already left. Hiro rubbed the back of his neck as he tried to calm himself down from the embarrassment. "Well that wasn't awkward at all," he mumbled to himself sarcastically.

"Your heartbeat has raised dramatically, as well as your brain activity. This indicates you might be experiencing an intense emotion such as, embarrassment." Baymax said. He totally forgot the robot's presence for a moment. Hiro sat down on his bed.

"Yeah, I am embarrassed. Thanks for telling me the obvious." Hiro, yet again, thanked sarcastically, but also a little annoyed. Like he wanted a reminder of how he feels at the moment.

Baymax tilted his head. "Taking a notice of your acting, these symptoms can also mean an emotion which is quite common in your age," he said. But before he made it to continue, Hiro interrupted him.

"Um. No. It's not that. I really am embarrassed, Baymax. And I really need to go to take a nap, so, I'm satisfied with my care."

Hiro laid down on his bed as he heard Baymax wabbling to his luggage and deflating himself. The boy sighed and tucked himself in. He honestly didn't feel like sleeping, but he forced himself to at least rest on the bed, he had so many thoughts going through his head and no energy nor will to do anything. However, after a few minutes he ended up falling asleep, the last thought of been his brother, and how much he missed him.
