As Tadashi rode his motorbike to S.F.I.T., he wouldn't help but wonder two things: 1. Was Baymax going to work today, and 2. Was Honey Lemon going to be there. He wished for the answer for both questions to be "yes". He parked outside and looked up at the brightly lit moon. He was arriving ridiculously late, or I guess you could say early, so the probability of Honey Lemon's presence was low.
He went straight to his lab, determined to make this robot work today, even if only for a few seconds. Baymax was a finicky robot- only working when he wanted to- but he was sure that he could get things to go smoothly today so that Baymax functioned probably all the time.
Hours later, the determination that he'd walked in with was gone. He rubbed at his face tiredly as he held up the chalkboard in front of Baymax.
"This is the ninety fifth test…" he mumbled. "Testing warming nodes."
"Hello, I am Baymax," the robot said as usual. "Your personal health care companion."
"Hey Baymax," Tadashi smiled sleepily. "Activate warming nodes." He watched with relief as Baymax's vinyl turned a light peach color- the sign of the warming nodes working properly.
He could have hugged Baymax in that moment, but suddenly, he heard a crash. He tilted his head in confusion. It was still just five am…who else was there besides him?
Tadashi walked out of his lab cautiously, Baymax trailing faithfully behind him. He heard yet another crash. What was going on? He followed the sound and came upon quite a sight.
Honey Lemon sleep-experimenting. Her eyes weren't open at all, but the movements seemed to be practically ingrained. Broken test tubes littered the floor. He chuckled to himself as he watched her mix together yet another chemical compound with varying levels of colbalt, hydrogen peroxide, and percholoric acid. She'd been trying to finalize her formula for chemical embrittlement for the past two months.
He walked forward and caught a glass test tube right before she dropped it. "Honey Lemon? Wake up," he said, waving a hand in front of her face.
"The patient is in need of sleep," Baymax suggested.
"Yeah, I agree, buddy," Tadashi nodded. He took her shoulders and moved her to sit in her lab chair. She wasn't able to stay in her chair without falling over, though.
"Hmmm…" Tadashi hummed, unsure of what to do. He clicked his fingers. "Got it! Baymax, pick up Honey and take her back to my lab."
Baymax did as he was asked. He got back to the lab just as Tadashi pulled out a blanket from his "in-case-I-pull-an-all-nighter" stash. "Here, sit down against the wall," Tadashi instructed. Baymax did as he was told.
"Activate warming nodes," Tadashi requested as he put the blanket over Honey Lemon. Honey Lemon unconsciously cuddled into Baymax as he warmed up, making Tadashi smile. He turned back around and got back to work on the computer program that made up Baymax's chip.
Two short hours later, he heard Honey Lemon yawn. "You're awake!" he smiled, turning around in his lab chair.
She rubbed at her eyes tiredly. "Why am I in your lab? I was working on my chemical embrittlement project…" she mumbled.
He chuckled. "Yeah, you were- in your sleep. So I had Baymax take care of you." Honey blinked up at the robot blearily.
"Hello, I am Baymax, your personal health care companion. You are still in need of four hours of sleep," Baymax informed her.
Honey Lemon blushed. "This is why I don't usually pull all-nighters," she said sheepishly, getting up out of Baymax's lap. She looked at Tadashi. "Thanks for checking up on me…" she trailed off, playing with the hem of her dress. She waved quickly and skipped out of the lab, still looking a bit embarrassed.
"Your hormone levels are rising," Baymax noted.
"Shut up, you," Tadashi said with a laugh. "I am satisfied with my care." And with that, Baymax shut down, leaving Tadashi alone to think about the adorable way Honey Lemon blushed.
