Tadashi wished he could have spoken to Professor Callaghan before he left, but he understood his professor probably had a lot to do. Fred suggested they head back to the mansion before heading to the Lucky Cat Café to celebrate. Hiro wanted to head straight there, but Tadashi wanted to get out of his hot and sweaty suit and everyone else wanted to get into something more comfortable as well. When they got back to the mansion Tadashi made a beeline for his room with Hiro in tow to get into more comfortable clothes.

Tadashi got himself changed and helped Hiro change as well before heading over to Fred's room to wait for him to finish getting changed as well. Before they could reach Fred's room though, he ran into Mary who looked furious.

"Hiro why don't you go wait by Fred's room?" Tadashi asked.

"Okay…" Hiro said, looking between Hiro and Mary in concern before running off. Once Hiro was out of ear shot Mary said,

"You're a disgusting faggot you know that right?"

"What did I do to make you hate me so much?" Tadashi groaned.

"You just got handed this job! How is that fair?" Mary snapped. "You don't even have to do anything! You just sit around all day getting paid to make out with your boyfriend! I bet that's why you were really hired! You're just Fred's whore!"

"Is there a problem?" Fred asked from behind Mary who went pale at his voice.

"N-n-no of course not!" Mary stammered, turning to face Fred who looked thoroughly unconvinced.

"Really? Because I'm pretty sure I heard you calling Tadashi a whore," Fred said. He looked furious, angrier then Tadashi had ever seen him. Though he knew Fred was ready to rip her to shreds, Tadashi had enough of other people fighting for him. Tadashi moved to stand next to Fred and placed a hand on his arm saying,

"Babe, I got this," Fred looked surprised by Tadashi's tone, but backed down. "Listen, I don't know what possessed you to think I'm just sitting around doing nothing all day, especially after seeing me getting up at three am to deal with a broken sink that you were there to see me fix. I have been working endlessly to keep my grades up, work and ensure that Hiro can stay with me. No matter how hard I work I'm either sleeping with someone or am just a bum who sits on my ass all day! Well you know what? I am done caring what people like you think. I know I got here because I worked hard. Sure I got some help from friends, but there is nothing wrong with getting help."

"It's laz-" Mary argued but Tadashi wouldn't hear it.

"No it's not lazy!" Tadashi snapped. "I once thought it was wrong to ask for help, but I get it now that it's not. We all need help sometimes, I would have long since lost Hiro without all the help I have been given. I am eternally grateful to every person who was willing to help me and you know what? Fuck anyone who tells me I'm wrong for needing it!" Mary glared daggers at Tadashi before storming off in a huff.

"That has got to be the sexiest thing I have seen you do!" Fred declared a look of awe on his face. Tadashi faced Fred and admitted,

"I'm not sure how sexy that was, I was terrified."

"Which makes you even sexier!" Fred declared, wrapping his arms around Tadashi's waist and pulling him close. Tadashi wrapped his arms around Fred's neck and asked,

"Is that so?"

"Most definitely," Fred assured before kissing him.


Tadashi silently worked in his lab, feeling much more alert then before. Ever since the trial Tadashi had not been awoken late in the night to take care of an emergency repair, and was finally getting a goods nights rest. Fred had also convinced him to cut back on time 'at work' so he could have some time to relax and enjoy himself.

"Hard at work as usual I see Mr. Hamada," Professor Callaghan said, strolling into the lab.

"Baymax won't improve himself," Tadashi said, shrugging.

"That's very true." Professor Callaghan agreed, smiling.

"Professor….I wanted to thank you for what you said in court yesterday," Tadashi said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"It was the truth Mr. Hamada," Professor Callaghan assured.

Tadashi was momentarily stunned by his professor words. "I uh….thank you…"

"Any time," Professor Callaghan assured. "I hate to ruin a nice moment but…I would really like to know if you plan to stay in the program."

A part of Tadashi still wanted to know the answer to that question as well. How many sleepless nights had he spent worry over a project he hadn't finished? Or spent working on repairs around the mansion? How much had Hiro been neglected in his pursuit of trying to stay both in school and be Hiro's guardian? Sure he could probably get it all done, but he hardly ever saw Hiro and that wasn't fair to him.

"I'm sorry professor but…I've been neglecting Hiro trying to stay in school…I just don't think I can stay…"

Professor Callaghan looked crushed by Tadashi's words but he said, "I-I'm very sad to hear that…but if you change your mind I really hope you'll give me a call."

"I appreciate the offer but…I really doubt anything could change my mind." Professor Callaghan let out a heavy sigh before saying,

"I know…but I hope…" With that Professor Callaghan left. Once he was alone Tadashi collapsed into his chair, feeling rotten. This was the right decision…right? He hadn't really seen Hiro since he started school. How could he in good conscious continue to go to school if he was now Hiro's guardian? If he was making the right choice though, then why did he feel so miserable? No, he couldn't worry about his own feelings; Hiro always came first no matter what.
