Brothers
29
So this is just some fluff. This is multiple little shorts in one chapter. Like they're gonna be super short.
Normal POV
Hiro: 8
Tadashi: 14
Hiro and Tadashi were currently in the kitchen where Hiro had insisted that they simply had to have hot chocolate in the freezing 20 degree Fahrenheit whether.
"Hiro, can you get two mugs from the cabinet?" Tadashi asked as he stirred the mix into the milk and water on the stove.
"For sure." Hiro replied, walking over to the cabinet. He reached for the handle with his tiny little hands, but was too short to grasp it. Tadashi noticed Hiro hopping up and down like a bunny trying to open it, and laughed. Hiro turned around to give Tadashi a glare, who quickly ceased laughing and went back to stirring.
With determination, Hiro jumped higher and higher before he finally got the cabinet open. The next task was getting the mugs out. Hiro's hopes sank. There was no way he could get the mugs out on his own. He lowered his head in sorrow and poked his lip out.
Suddenly, he felt himself being lifted up and was shocked.
"Dashi?" He asked in confusion.
"Need a lift Hiro?" Tadashi asked, hoisting his little brother up to reach the mugs. Hiro smiled gratefully and grabbed two mugs.
Tadashi placed him back down and went back to stirring once more.
"Thanks Dashi." Hiro said shyly.
"Anytime." Tadashi replied with a chuckle.

"Wow Dashi, you have a weely soft face." Hiro said adorably, poking his older brother's face.
Tadashi smiled in response and let Hiro poke him.
"You have weely dark bwown eyes too Dashi." Hiro mused, staring at them.
Tadashi crossed his eyes, causing Hiro to laugh.
"Dashi you being silly." Hiro said in amusement, clapping his hands together.
"No, you're being silly you bonehead." Tadashi said, nuzzling his head into Hiro's stomach. Hiro giggled at this and pushed Tadashi away lightly.
"Dashi no! That tickles." Hiro said in mock anger. Tadashi laughed and lay his head down in Hiro's lap.
"Dashi you have huuuuuge ears!" Hiro exclaimed, pulling at them lightly. Tadashi looked at Hiro with a playful expression.
"Hiro, you've got a big mouth." Tadashi said, pinning Hiro down on the carpet.
"Dashi what are you doing?!" Hiro asked with a laugh.
"Something I should've done a long time ago." Tadashi replied, blowing little raspberries on Hiro's stomach.
Hiro shrieked with laughter and kicked his legs back and forth.
"Dashi you're sillyyyyy!" Hiro sang with giggles here and there.
"Well that's okay. You still love me, right?" Tadashi asked.
Hiro pretended to think about it. Tadashi picked him up and held him upside-down to make him respond faster. Hiro let out an "Eeep!" of surprise before giggling again.
"Yes I love you Dashi. But you love me most. Right?" Hiro asked.
"I don't know Hiro. I might love school more." Tadashi said playfully. Hiro gasped in horror.
"You don't weely mean that. Do you Dashi? I can be better than school. I pwomise I'll be a good boy. Then you'll love me more, wight?" Hiro asked, almost pleading. Tadashi roared in laughter and Hiro pouted with his puppy face.
"Aww Hiro. I love you more than anything. You're already the best brother I could ever have." Tadashi said, giving him a hug.
"Dashi you have a weeeeely big heart." Hiro concluded with a satisfied smile, returning the hug.

"Dashi no leave me!" Hiro begged, clinging onto his older brother's leg.
"C'mon Hiro let go of me. I need to go to school." Tadashi replied irritably. His brother was so annoying sometimes.
"B-but Nii-san pwomsied to pway with me!" Hiro cried out, sniffling into the leg.
"Hiro I'll play with you when I get back from school okay?" Tadashi asked, trying to shake his younger brother off.
"No! Dashi stay!" Hiro cried out with a sob.
"No Hiro. Dashi needs to go to school." Tadashi explained, trying to get out of the door.
"Dashi pwease don't go! No leave me! No go! Dashi no go!" Hiro begged, burying his little face into his brother's leg.
"Hiro, where are mom and dad?" Tadashi asked, getting frustrated. At this rate, he was going to lose his perfect attendance award.
"Mommy in bathwoom. Daddy at work." Hiro replied with sniffles here and there.
"Please let me go Hiro. Your baby sitter will be here soon. You and she can have lots of fun together." Tadashi explained, hoping to get Hiro to let him go.
"But I want Nii-san. Not babysittew." Hiro blubbered, clinging on to Tadashi tighter.
"Hiro let go right now." Tadashi said firmly. Hiro stiffened at Tadashi's tone.
"Now Hiro I mean it. Let go of my leg." Tadashi said, using his warning voice.
"But- "No buts Hiro! God you can be so annoying sometimes. I need to go to school and you're making me late. Do you want me to get in trouble Hiro?! Is that what you want?!" Tadashi shouted at him.
Hiro's grip loosened and he looked up at Tadashi with innocent eyes and he stuck his thumb in his mouth.
"I just want my Nii-chan." Hiro said in an innocent baby voice that gurgled due to the thumb in his mouth.
"Well I just want to get to school on time, but I guess we both aren't getting what we want now are we?" Tadashi said, sauntering out the door. Hiro had tears coming out of his eyes and that's when Tadashi looked back, though he wished he hadn't.
Hiro looked so vulnerable and lonely. Like someone had deliberately sucked all the happiness out of him. He was blubbering and his nose was running.
Tadashi ran back to the house and hugged Hiro tightly.
"I'm sorry otouto. I won't leave you if you don't want me to." Tadashi promised him.
"What bout your school?" Hiro asked with a sniffle.
"You're more important to me than a stupid building." Tadashi replied.
"And I'm sorry Hiro. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that. I won't do it again." Tadashi promised.
"Pinky swear?" Hiro asked, ceasing his crying.
"Pink swear." Tadashi said, wiping Hiro's tears with one hand and linking their pinkies with another.
'How am I gonna explain this to the principal?' Tadashi thought as Hiro nuzzled into him.

"So you'll be okay home alone?" Tadashi asked his little brother.
"Yes you worry wart. It's not the first time I've been home alone." Hiro reminded.
"I know, but with Aunt Cass sorting things out in America, and me in college, you'll be home alone most of the day for the next few weeks. You sure you don't want a sitter?" Tadashi asks worriedly.
"Geez bro, I'll be perfectly fine. I know not to answer the door. I'm fourteen, I don't need a sitter. And you'll be home in 6 hours or so, so don't sweat it." Hiro said.
"Okay, but don't think that just because you've graduated, you can sit around at home doing nothing forever." Tadashi warned.
"Why not? I did the learning. Now is the time to relax." Hiro argued.
"True. Just don't expect to do it forever. Mom and dad wanted to see us both go to college." Tadashi reminded.
"Well it's not like they can see it anymore anyway." Hiro mumbled.
"What?" Tadashi asked with narrow eyes and waning voice.
"Nothing, I'll research some colleges while you're gone." Hiro said sweetly. Tadashi bonked him on the head lightly. "That's what I thought you said. Now be a good boy and don't do anything stupid. Also, you've got me on speed dial, so if there's any trou- "Yeah yeah. Got it. I'll call you. I know. And you'll check up on me every hour. I got it. Bye Tadashi." Hiro sang, pushing his older brother out the door.
"O-okay. Bye. Be safe." Tadashi said as he left.
"Will do." Hiro complied.
-Page break-
"I cannot believe you went BOT FIGHTING!" Tadashi exclaimed, anger evident in his usually calm brown eyes.
"That's more unbelievable than the fact that you attached FUCKIN TRACKERS on me?!" Hiro spazzed, letting his hands do most of the talking.
"Don't change the subject!" Tadashi warned in anger.
"I didn't! What you did was a massive invasion of my privacy!" Hiro shouted with a glare that matched Tadashi's.
"What you did was an invasion of your safety!" Tadashi retaliated.
"Why can't you just admit you're wrong like you always are?!" Hiro questioned.
"Hiro! You are FORBIDDEN do go bot fighting, no scratch that. You're forbidden to go ANYWHERE for the next month!" Tadashi declared.
"Oh yeah? How are you gonna stop me? You have college. You won't know what the hell I do while you're gone." Hiro fired back.
"HIRO!" Tadashi shouted in ferocity.
"TADASHI!" Hiro retaliated.
"I'M DONE WITH YOU!" Tadashi screamed, stomping upstairs.
"NO, I'M DONE WITH YOU!" Hiro retaliated in malice, stomping after him.
They both angrily stomped harshly to their respective beds and gave unsubtle glares at each other.
Hiro's face softened as he looked at the tracker he had found on his hoodie. In his older brother's defense, Tadashi was only looking out for him.
On the opposite side of the room, Tadashi was softening up his glare as well. In his younger brother's defense, Hiro was still just a kid. Graduating from high school at fourteen meant he was mature, but not exactly ready to be treated as an adult.
"I'm sorry." They said in sync.
They laughed softly.
"We both screwed up, huh?" Hiro asked, tossing Tadashi the tracker.
His older brother caught it and stiffened. He let out a sigh.
"Yeah. Brothers?" He asked with a smile.
"Always. But no more trackers." Hiro said in slight sternness.
"No more bot fights." Tadashi countered in the same tone.
"Tadashi that isn't fair." Hiro complained.
"Will it be fair when I have to be upset because something happened to my baby brother? My only family left?" Tadashi asked, making Hiro feel guilty.
"Oh alright. Keep the trackers on my hoodie, but then I'm going to go bot fighting more often." Hiro reasoned.
"Deal. And I'll drag you out before someone can kill you." Tadashi said.
"Good. Now make me some hot chocolate. My throat hurts from yelling at your stupidity." Hiro said playfully.
"PFT, I yelled way louder than you Hiro." Tadashi bragged.
"No you didn't." Hiro disagreed.
"Yes I did." Tadashi said firmly.
"No you didn't!" Hiro said, raising his voice.
"HIRO!" Tadashi yelled.
"TADASHI!" Hiro yelled back.
And so they argued again and again. Forgiving each other after every argument, not realizing that every fight was secretly bringing them closer together, for they would make hilarious stories to tell later.

"Hiro, where do you think you're going at 1:00 in the morning?" Tadashi asked, making Hiro freeze in his tracks. He looked at Tadashi with a sheepish smile and gave him a comical wave.
"Tadashi! What are you doing up?" He asked nervously.
"I could ask you the same question." Tadashi said, crossing his arms. Hiro slumped his shoulders down in defeat.
"You got me. I was going to the candy store to get gummy bears." Hiro said with a sigh and heading to bed.
"Hold it right there liar." Tadashi said, grabbing Hiro's hand and pulling him toward him. Tadashi narrowed his eyes at Hiro.
"Where were you really going?" the older brother asked.
"Nowhere now." Hiro answered with a nervous smile.
"You were sneaking out to go to Frost Point, weren't you?" Tadashi asked knowingly. Hiro was shocked.
"H-how did you know?" Hiro asked. Tadashi gave Hiro a look.
"Hiro, I'm your older brother. There's nothing you do that I don't know about." He answered.
Hiro's mind traveled to his internet history and he silently prayed Tadashi didn't know about that. Shaking his head of his hormonal teenage thoughts, he faced Tadashi with a guilty as charged expression.
"Hiro you know your curfew. Go to sleep." Tadashi advised.
Sighing and retreating to his bed, Hiro plopped himself under the covers.
He heard Tadashi come to the bed and he braced himself for scolding.
"Hiro, you know Aunt Cass put that curfew because she cares about you, right?" Tadashi asked.
Hiro rolled his eyes even though Tadashi couldn't see.
"Really? Because I dunno why, but I had the tiniest inkling that she put it there because you snitched on me for running away that one time and suggested a punishment." Hiro said in utter sarcasm.
Tadashi sighed and sat on Hiro's bed.
"You know I love you, right Hiro?" he asked.
Hiro shrugged. "Yeah, I love you too." He said emotionlessly.
"Hiro please don't be mad." He said.
"I'm not mad. I'm upset. Don't mix those two up." Hiro corrected.
"Don't be upset then." Tadashi said.
"I can't just turn off my emotions big brother." Hiro said with a chuckle.
"Well I can make you laugh." Tadashi said with a smirk.
"You BETTER not tickle me Tadashi. I will hurt you." Hiro warned.
"Too late." Tadashi said, pulling Hiro out from under the blanket and tickling his sides relentlessly.
Hiro tried not to, but couldn't help the laughs from being produced and coming out.
After the assault, Tadashi pulled back, satisfied.
"You're weird." Hiro said, pushing Tadashi off of the bed.
"Ouch! Hiro, you're gonna pay for that." Tadashi warned.
"I said I'd hurt you." Hiro replied. "Well let me return the favor." Tadashi said.
He grabbed Hiro's feet and pulled him down on the floor as well.
"Ow!" Hiro cried out, rubbing his head. Tadashi smirked in victory.
"Okay that's it you nerd. You're gonna get it." Hiro said, tickling Tadashi's feet.
"Did you forget that I'm not ticklish Hiro?" Tadashi asked with an amused smile.
"Shoot!" Hiro cried as Tadashi flipped him on his back and sat on him.
"Get off of me you flab roll!" Hiro cried, squirming from underneath him.
"Psh, flab roll my butt. I'm pretty skinny actually." Tadashi retorted.
"Yeah, maybe a skinny sumo wrestler." Hiro said, cracking up at his own joke. Tadashi was unamused.
He lightly put pressure on Hiro's back, causing him to groan in pain.
"Tadashi get off before I die!" Hiro cried out.
"Sorry Hiro. I don't think gravity is in your favor again." Tadashi said with a smile in voice.
"No you're not in my favor." Hiro grunted, trying to push Tadashi off of him, but to no avail.
"Aw Hiro. Don't be like that. I thought you loved me." Tadashi said with a laugh.
"Ugh, why are you so WEIRD?!" Hiro asked, wriggling his way out from underneath Tadashi. His older brother fell to the ground in surprise.
Then, Hiro jumped onto him and smiled in victory.
"I win again." Hiro said as Tadashi let out an "Oomph" from the sudden jump.
"Well, you did knock the wind out of me." Tadashi noted.
"Yeah. I did, didn't I?" Hiro said smugly.
"Alright don't get cocky. Go to bed now." Tadashi said. Hiro complied with his brother's wishes and went to bed while Tadashi did the same.
"Ohhhh." Hiro said after a few seconds.
"What?" Tadashi asked.
"I see what you did there Tadashi. Thanks." Hiro said with a light smile.
"Oh that. Well, you're welcome. Now sleep you big bonehead." Tadashi said.
Hiro smiled. Tadashi seemed to always know exactly how to cheer him up.
So this is pretty short, but hey! It's an update. I know I updated twice in one day, but I figured y'all deserved it. Hope you liked it
