Shi: Eien no Kyodai

Four: Brothers Forever

The next morning, a sound of distress came from the Hamada brother's room, which caused a certain huggable marshmallow robot to activate. "I was awoken to the sound of distress. What seems to be the problem?" The robot froze when he saw that there was no one else in the room.

"This is strange. I could have sworn I heard a sound of distress." Unbeknownst to Baymax, the door to the closet behind him slightly opened, revealing two figures, one short and one tall. The shorter figure slowly crept out of the closet and behind an oblivious Baymax. The taller figure followed after and picked up the shorter figure so that he was at the same height as Baymax.

"SURPRISE!"

The smaller figure with the wild hair jumped out of his brother's arms and landed on Baymax's back, completely catching the robot off guard. Baymax wobbled over a few times while trying to keep his balance. The marshmallow robot used one of his stubby arms to feel around until his hand came in contact with a foot.

Baymax took this chance and grabbed the foot. He held the foot up high while the owner of the foot was hanging upside down, and the owner was revealed to be none other than Hiro Hamada himself.

"It is unwise to jump on top of me like that, otherwise it could be hazardous to your health."

Hiro smiled nervously. "Is that your way of telling me that you're mad at me?"

"I am a robot, I do not get mad." Tadashi laughed. "It was all Hiro's idea, I tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted."

Hiro pouted. "Yeah, thanks for the help Tadashi."

Baymax turned Hiro upright and sat him down gently on the ground, but of course he didn't stop without ruffling Hiro's already messy hair. "Don't do that Baymax, it's bad enough that Tadashi always does it, but not you too."

A smirk slowly spread across Tadashi's face as he came up with an evil idea. He got Baymax's attention and the robot seemed to notice a plan brewing inside his creator's head. Tadashi glanced at Hiro an few times to silently let the robot in on his plan. Baymax seemed to understand what his creator was saying.

They both looked down at Hiro, and within a few seconds, Tadashi and Baymax had their hands on Hiro's head and were messing up his already wild hair. "Guys, stop that, come on, this is so annoying." Tadashi laughed and Baymax probably would have if he could. After the hair messing was over, Hiro spoke.

"Okay, the real reason we came in here is because…" The younger brother pulled a medal out of his pocket and looked back up at the robot.

"Baymax, how would you like to become a Hamada brother?" Baymax blinked and thought for a second.

"Would becoming a Hamada brother make me a better healthcare companion?" Hiro laughed. "Yeah buddy, it definitely will." Baymax blinked. "Okay then, I would like to become a Hamada brother." Hiro smiled as he placed the medal on the robot's neck.

"Congratulations buddy, you're one of us now." Tadashi gave the walking marshmallow a pat on the back. "What do Hamada brothers do?" Tadashi smirked as he came up with another evil plan.

"Glad you asked Baymax." The older brother picked Hiro up and started using him as a demonstration.

"You see Baymax, there's more to being a Hamada brother than just being related." Tadashi turned Hiro upside down and swung him over his back. "It's about never giving up on each other."

"Tadashi, what are you doing!?" The older Hamada ignored his brother's comments and swung him back around and carried him in his arms bridal style.

"It's about being there for each other, like comforting after one of them has nightmares." Hiro knew that Tadashi was making a reference to what happened when he was little. "Tadashi, I don't do that anymore!" The older brother continued to ignore him.

"It's also about teasing to show that you care." Tadashi stuck his hand up Hiro's shirt and started tickling him. "T-Tadashi, s-stop, I can't take it, ha ha ha, p-please stop!" The older brother removed his hand and continued with his speech.

"Cheering a Hamada brother up when he's sad is important." He started tossing Hiro up in the air and catching him in his arms. Hiro couldn't stop laughing no matter how hard he tried. He was supposed to be angry in that moment, but it just couldn't happen.

"And last but not least, Hamada brothers love each other to the end." Tadashi gave Hiro a big kiss on his forehead, but Hiro was too busy laughing to do anything about it.

"And that, my marshmallow-like friend, is what it takes to be a Hamada brother."

Tadashi sat Hiro on his feet, but the younger boy was laughing too hard to stand up right. He slumped to the ground where he just continued to laugh without being able to stop it. Baymax blinked. "I understand." Hiro's laughter started to die down much to the young graduate's relief. Now he could finally come up with a revenge plan. Hiro paused as he felt a couple of vinyl hands grab ahold of his feet. "Oh no." Baymax lifted him off the ground and hung him upside down.

"NO BAYMAX!"

The robot swung Hiro over his back as Tadashi had done. "I will never give up on you Hiro."

"Baymax, I don't need to go through this again!"

Tadashi laughed so hard. "Keep it up Baymax, you make a great Hamada brother."

Baymax swung Hiro into his arms, bridal style and started rocking him like a baby. "I will always be there to comfort you." The marshmallow robot started tickling the prodigy and Hiro's uncontrollable laughing returned. Baymax stopped tickling and started throwing Hiro up into the air and catching him repeatedly.

"I will make you happy when you are sad." Baymax caught him and scooped him up in his arms. "And I will love you always." Baymax planted his face oh Hiro since he couldn't actually give him any kisses. Hiro could not stop laughing as Baymax sat him on the ground, where once again, Hiro slumped onto the floor, trying to recover from laughing.

Tadashi smiled at Baymax. "Nice job, buddy." The two fist bumped each other and while Tadashi added and explosion at the end of his, Baymax ended his with a "Ba la la la." Tadashi laughed at how goofy the robot could be.

"I-I would, ha ha, get my r-revenge, ha ha ha, but I can't, ha ha, stop l-laughing."

The human and the robot helped the young prodigy up off the ground. Tadashi opened a drawer on his side of the room and pulled out a camera. "Alright, everyone in the picture for the Hamada brother's photo album." Hiro's laughter died down immediately as he stood next to Baymax. The older Hamada managed to find and set up the tri pod.

After he inserted the camera on it, he set the timer for thirty seconds so they'd have enough time to get ready. Hiro was content with leaning up against Baymax, but Tadashi thought of a better place. He lifted his little brother and sat him down up on Baymax's back. The marshmallow was slightly taller than Tadashi, so Hiro got a fantastic view of the room.

The thirty seconds were almost up, so Tadashi leaned up against Baymax and the picture snapped and was immortalized. Tadashi took the camera off of the tri pod and saw that the picture looked just perfect for the album. "Wow, this is a really good picture." He showed the picture of Tadashi leaning up against Baymax, and Hiro sticking his tongue out while doing a peace sign, and Baymax just standing there with his dotted line smile while also holding up a peace sign.

"Yup, this is definitely going inside the album." Baymax sat Hiro down then the young boy went to his closet to dig out the album. It seemed to be a very old book with a picture of Hiro and Tadashi from a young age playing outside, while the words 'Hamada Brothers Album' was written on the bottom in big letters.

Tadashi opened the album and turned to a page in the book with the words 'Baymax, the Newest Hamada Brother' on the bottom of it. He slipped the newly snapped picture into the four corner slots and from then on, the picture was immortalized inside the album. Hiro smiled.

"You're pretty good at posing for a picture, Baymax." The prodigy looked up at the robot, who in return, ruffled his hair. "Alright, I'll let you slide this once."

Tadashi scoffed. "You'll let him get away with it, but you won't let me. That's unfair."

Hiro smirked. "Yeah well, it just can't be helped."

Tadashi picked Hiro up and scooped him into his arms and started tickling him, which brought Hiro another laughing fit.

Baymax watched the whole thing and if he could smile he probably would have. He looked at the medal that hung around his neck and held it tightly in his hands, actually feeling glad that he was now an honorary Hamada brother.
