Go: Kimyona Akumu
Five: Weird Nightmare

"Alright, I can do this. I can make it. I'll just work on this a few more hours and try not to fall asleep before then."

Hiro let out another tired yawn. He had been working all day and all night on his Microbot project and he hadn't been getting much sleep. Usually he would exhaust himself to the point of falling asleep at any moment and either Tadashi or Baymax would have to carry him upstairs and tuck him in bed.

Usually Hiro would protest to the fact that he wasn't a baby and he didn't need to be tucked in, but he was too tired to protest so he just let it happen. Hiro had been up for over twenty four hours and was doing his best not to crack. But he was obviously failing at his attempts. Tadashi stood in the doorway and watched as Hiro tried to stay awake.

"Hey buddy, do you want to take a nap?"

"No." Hiro immediately said "I can do this, I can do this, I...can..."

Before the prodigy got a chance to finish the sentence, he fell asleep on the table without a care in the world. Tadashi smiled and walked over to his brother. He scooped him up in his arms bridal style and watched as Hiro unconsciously snuggled up to his chest while he slept.

Tadashi smiled as he carried his little brother out of the garage and up the stairs to their shared bedroom. He slowly approached his brother's bed and gently slid him under the covers. Tadashi smiled as he watched his precious little brother asleep in his own bed. Tadashi kissed Hiro on the forehead and ruffled his hair a little.

"Good night bonehead and have sweet dreams. I love you."

Hiro smiled a little in his sleep which caused Tadashi to smile back. He got up and gently closed the door behind him.


"This is too hard. I can't do this. I give up." Hiro put his head on his desk and sighed dramatically.

It took everything within Tadashi to not laugh at his brother's clearly over dramatic performance. "Come on knucklehead, you've only been on this for a few weeks, it's too early for you to give up. I didn't give up on Baymax and look how he turned out."

Hiro's face remained flat on the desk. "That's because you were too stubborn to give up." He said a little bit muffled.

"See, exactly. I was too stubborn to give up and you should be too."

Hiro groaned. "But it's too hard."

Out of the corner of his eye, Hiro saw Tadashi coming towards him with a smirk on his face. Knowing what was going to happen, Hiro immediately got up out of his chair a split second before Tadashi grabbed him.

"Ha, nice try Nii-chan, but i'm just a little bit smarter than you are."

Hiro noticed as his older brother's smirk never left his face. "I wouldn't be too sure about that."

Upon hearing this, the young prodigy suddenly became cautious. "Uh, why do you say that?" He asked, taking a few steps back.

Within the next few seconds, Tadashi ran for Hiro. He tried to make a break for it and run out the door, but to no avail. Tadashi picked his little brother up and swung him over his back, hanging upside down.

"I'm not giving up on you Hiro" He said to him "You've just gotta look at things from a different angle."

Hiro begged his older brother to put him down but was having a lot of trouble hiding the fact that he secretly enjoyed it. He was thrown into another laughing fit and he couldn't do anything to stop it. Hiro closed his eyes for a few seconds and enjoyed the moment.

When he opened his eyes however, they were not in the garage working on the project, but instead, there was smoke and ash everywhere and they could hardly see a thing, but it was easy for them to make out the fact that they were standing in front of a burning building.

Tadashi gently sat Hiro on the ground and both of them stared at the building in awe.

"Wha-What is this?" Hiro asked, fear evident in his tone. Tadashi could do nothing bit stare.

'Hold on.'

Hiro put his hands at the sides of his head as he heard a voice whisper inside his ear.

"What's going on?" He asked, sounding more fearful than before. He looked up at his brother for an answer but found him only staring at the flaming building before them. "Tadashi, please answer me!" He almost screamed at his brother. That seemed to break Tadashi out of his trance.

'Hold on'.

The voice whispered again. Tadashi gave his brother a small smile and bent down to his height. He looked right into his eyes and spoke.

"Hiro, I hope you understand, but, I have to go now."

That was the last thing he expected to hear his brother say in a situation like this.

'No.' The voice whispered. Hiro ignored it.

"What do you mean you have to go?"

He was more than confused. Tadashi only smiled at him.

"I love you Hiro, I just want you to know that."

Tadashi gave Hiro a kiss on the forehead before standing up and running towards the flaming building. Hiro could only watch his brother as he entered.

'No. You can't let him escape.'

Hiro decided to listen to the voice for once and started running after his brother.

"Tadashi!"

He never made it inside as the force from the explosion pushed him back. Hiro couldn't get on his feet after that, he just continued to stare at the building as hot tears fell on the ground.


Hiro woke up screaming the evening after Tadashi had carried him up to his bed.

Tadashi was on his bed reading a book when he suddenly heard his little brother screaming. He immediately dropped the book on the floor and rushed over to Hiro's side.

"Hiro, are you alright, are you okay, what happened what's wrong?"

Hiro was drenched in sweat and was hyperventilating. Tadashi gave him some time to relax and calm down and let him speak.

"I uh...I just had a nightmare. It was no big deal."

As Hiro looked at Tadashi's concerned face, he just wanted to punch him and yell at him for being stupid enough to run into the building, but he knew it was only a dream and that his brother wouldn't just abandon him like that. Hiro sighed as his heart beat slowed down.

"Do you want me to get you a glass of water or anything?" Tadashi offered.

Hiro shook his head. "No thanks, i'm fine, really."

Tadashi gave off a little smile. He made his way back to his own bed and picked up where he left off in the book he was reading. "So, if you don't mind me asking, what was the nightmare about?"

Hiro was reluctant in answering. "Uh...fire."

Tadashi nodded in understanding and noted that Hiro didn't want to discuss the matter further. Tadashi however, remembered how to cheer his brother up and make him forget all about his nightmare. Hiro started walking toward the door, but stopped as he felt two arms wrap around him. Hiro quietly rolled his eyes in annoyance, and was surprised as those arms lifted him into the air.

The arms pulled Hiro onto Tadashi's lap, and even though Hiro wasn't facing his brother, he could still feel the smirk behind him. Hiro playfully rolled his eyes.

"You just love messing with me don't you?"

Tadashi scoffed. "Yeah, right, like messing with you gives me my jollies."

Hiro knew something was up. Tadashi's smirk grew wider as he put a hand up Hiro's shirt and started tickling his sensitive sides. Hiro started laughing uncontrollably and he couldn't do anything about it.

"Tadashi, please stop." The older brother ignored his pleas. "T-Tadashi, please."

Whenever Hiro could manage to open his eyes, all he could see was his brother's evil Kitsune smile, signaling that he wasn't going to stop anytime soon. Hiro laughed louder and harder and his sides were starting to hurt from laughing too much. "

"Ta-Tadashi, I-I can't, m-my sides."

After another minute of begging, Tadashi finally decided to let the boy go. Hiro rested on his brother's shoulder while he recovered. "I love you big brother." He said in between laughs. Tadashi smiled. "I love you too knucklehead." Tadashi kissed Hiro on the forehead and Hiro's laughing seemed to stop.

"Do you remember how you used to sleep in my bed after you had nightmares?"

Hiro playfully rolled his eyes. "It's kind of hard to forget."

"Well, I just wanted you to know that you're welcome to sleep with me whenever you'd like. After a nightmare like that, whose to say you wont have more."

Hiro smiled. "Thanks Tadashi, i'll think about it." Hiro got up and stood in front of his brother.

"Oh, and by the way..." Tadashi listened to what he was about to say.

With one swift move, Hiro swiped the hat off of his brother's head and put it on his own. He bolted out of the bedroom door, leaving Tadashi to comprehend what just happened.

The older brother playfully rolled his eyes and ran after him, all nightmares forgotten.
