[everydayhero]

[oh no, he gets worse from that.

[good job, tadashi, you have derailed him and now he has his Planning Face on.]

... Well...

[ishere]

[ goddammit.

he's leaning forward to gently thwack the side of hiro's head. ]

Don't get any ideas, boy genius. Weren't you the one telling me that bots have feelings too?

[ baymax being a 'he' instead of an 'it...' ]

[everydayhero]

[point!]

Hey. Baymax is different. We've been over this.

[ishere]

[ does that mean he's actually pointing? cause if so, tadashi is gonna grab his finger. ]

Aaaand back to the original point. My time's valuable, squirt. [ lmao no it isn't. and he isn't being a little serious about that statement at all, of course. if hiro needed it? tadashi'd give every minute of every day without wasting a second of it deliberating. he's gotta keep up the act, though. ] What's bugging you?

[everydayhero]

[wow let go of my finger you're weird.]

It so is not. But I do have something I want to talk to you about.

[aaand there are the nerves again.]

[ishere]

[ yeah well you're weird too so deal with it. ]

Okay.

[ ow, hiro. he can tell you're nervous. so tadashi looks at him and, with a totally and utterly straight face, states: ]

I'm all ears.

[everydayhero]

[...

...

...







snort.]

[ishere]

[ he leans back, releasing hiro's finger and smiling gently at him. he's waiting, baby bro. ]

[everydayhero]

[OKAY FINE.]

... Alright. You win.

[okay, deep breaths.]

So.. I might have done something stupid.

[ishere]

[ uh huh... he nods slowly, trying to prompt him to continue. ]

How stupid is stupid?

[everydayhero]

Stupid like... ending up kinda... into somebody?

[tadashi it's time for The Talk.]

[ishere]

[ OH MY GOD HE IS SO RELIEVED.... ]

Waiting for the stupid part...

[everydayhero]

[oh boy. oh god what do i do.]

... Uhh... It's... a guy?

1/3

[ishere]

Oh my god.

[ishere]

[ he takes a deep breath, dropping his face into his hands. ]

[ishere]

So nobody's pregnant.

[ LOOK HIRO YOU WERE BEING SO DRAMATIC ]

[everydayhero]

Oh my god, no.

[pause.]

I mean, I don't know how their species works, technically? But still, no.

[ishere]

[ he removes his hat for a moment to drag his fingers through his hair, taking a low breath. ]

It's - Hiro, you don't have to beat yourself up for - it's alright if you have feelings for a guy. There's nothing wrong with that, you hear me?

[ bby brother please don't be ashamed... ]

[everydayhero]

Well, I--

[now he's embarrassed.]

Dude, you know it's more complicated than that, I didn't think this was gonna happen! Telling you is like... the "big step", you know?

[ishere]

How is it more complicated than that? It's not like you can help how you feel.

[ he'd know. he'd been determined to ride out this whole drift fleet thing as a loner. no reason to get close to anyone when he was already literally dead, right?

that'd sure worked out for him.

he leans forward, grabbing hiro's chair to drag it over a little closer. ]

[everydayhero]

[he groans obnoxiously as his chair slides over without any real effort. damn his tiny teenager body.]

Because I can't help how I feel! And y'know, I was thought... it'd be girls. And I mean, it still is, but just... This one's not?

[ishere]

[ tadashi takes another breath, because... okay, this is still pretty weird for him, but... ]

Does he make you happy?

[everydayhero]

Well.. yeah. Really happy. And I want to make him happy. Even when he's being a brat.

[ishere]

Then listen to me: it's not a big deal.

[ he hesitates. ]

Or maybe it's a big deal that you didn't tell me as soon as you thought you might... c'mon, punk.

[everydayhero]

... well, I figured you were the last stop before I tell him. It kinda finalizes it, telling your parental figure. Aunt Cass isn't here for that.
