This snippet takes places when the boys were younger, sometime before Tadashi got into college. I've had to do this for my sister a few times.
Disclaimer: I do not own Big Hero 6. The story title also comes from Travelling by Ambulance by Monarchy.
Burnt Fingers
V. Late Nights
Hiro was asleep on the couch, curled up into a tiny ball and snoring quietly.
Tadashi felt guilty. Hiro had fallen asleep, waiting for him…again. He approached the couch and gently scooped Hiro in his arms, carrying him to his bed.
"...'dashi?" Hiro muttered, eyes closed.
"Hey, buddy. I'm sorry, Hiro."
Hiro grunted in response, reaching for Tadashi as he put him in bed. "Stay."
"Why?"
"Nightmare," Hiro muttered quietly.
So Tadashi laid down, Hiro burying his head in his side. He was asleep in seconds.
Tadashi listened to Hiro's steady breathing, missing him even as close as he was.
Hope you enjoy.
