I don't own Big Hero 6.

Chapter 5

The next morning, while his brother was at college, Hiro was sitting on his bed. He was tinkering with his Megabot, which he couldn't focus on much as he thought of the events of yesterday, and how he had made his big brother cry. He had never done that, and a little part of him felt bad doing it. Even though he didn't care, his brain couldn't seem to leave him alone. He sighed as he finally threw Megabot.

"I'm done," he muttered, as he flopped down on his stomach. If only he and Tadashi had never had a fight, then things would have been well and smooth between them.

But I just can't apologize to him, Hiro thought. He's not a true big brother to me like I thought he was. He prefers his nerdy friends over me. Like he said.

A tear rolled down the younger Hamada's cheeks. What if his big brother didn't love him after all?

But he had tried to apologize, his other part of the brain argued.

Hiro sighed, not knowing what to think anymore. He lay on his bed for a long time, deep in his own thoughts and feeling broken, when the door opened. The younger Hamada looked up to see his aunt entering. Shoot.

"Hi, sweetie," Aunt Cass said softly, as she came over and sat on the edge of his bed. "Everything alright?" she asked as she put her hand on his back.

Dang. She's going to find out now, Hiro thought.

He quickly managed to put on a convincing smile. "I'm fine," he said, hoping she would buy it.

"Are you sure?" Aunt Cass asked, raising an eyebrow at her younger nephew as she remembered the events of yesterday, and how she had heard about their fight.

"I'm sure. Really," Hiro said, afraid she would find out. He tried to sound as truthful as he could.

Aunt Cass took a deep breath. "Hiro, I have heard everything."

She knew?! Hiro felt even more anger surging up for his big brother. Tadashi must have told! That big idiot tattletale!

He looked down, not knowing what to say to his aunt. Great. She was involved now. All because of Tadashi.

Aunt Cass sighed. "I'm not mad at you, sweetie. I was just… a little surprised and... I didn't like what I heard. You two always got along, and it made me happy. Not much brothers have this strong bond like you two have, you know."

"Well, that was until he told me that he preferred his friends over me," Hiro answered angrily.

"I know," Aunt Cass said. "And I agree with you. He shouldn't have said that, and I could totally understand your pain. But you know, everyone makes mistakes. When someone says those hurtful things, they usually don't mean it because sometimes something goes on in their personal lives, or they're just tired. For instance, your brother may have just been tired that day after a long day at his college, but trust me. I know one thing for sure."

"What is it?" Hiro asked.

"Your brother did not mean what he said at all."

"He did," Hiro muttered, "and I will never ever forgive him. He's not my brother any more!"

"Now, Hiro," Aunt Cass said a little sternly, as she put a gentle hand on her younger nephew's shoulder. "That is not the right thing to say. Tadashi's your big brother." She paused for emphasis before she let out a sigh, and said, "You have no idea how much your brother loves you, Hiro. You know what he told me one time? He said that ever since you were born to this world, you were his number one priority in life, and from the moment he first saw you, he vowed to himself that he will always be there for you when you needed a friend and to protect you from anything at any cost."

Hiro suddenly felt touched as he asked, "Really?"

"Really," Aunt Cass said. "I'm not kidding at all. Tadashi really loves you, Hiro, and you should know that. You are much more worth than all of his friends put together."

Feeling guilty and sad, Hiro suddenly didn't know what to say. There was not a single hint of him being mad at his big brother anymore. All his hatred for him vanished immediately.

"Tadashi is loving, kind-hearted, and such a sweetheart," Aunt Cass continued. "You really should take advantage of it, Hiro. You are lucky to have such a caring older brother, who comforts you when you have nightmares, who was there for you when you needed him, who took care of you when you were sick, and who has been such a parent to you his whole life; he has done a lot for you. So, you really should accept his apology; the least you could do to repay him. Trust me, you don't realize how sorry he is, and he's even hating himself for what he had said. He would do anything for you to forgive him, so please? Give him a chance? Just think of all the good things he has done for you."

Hiro couldn't take it. He felt emotional as he covered his face with his hands and started sobbing. He remembered how Tadashi had gone through all that trouble to pass to the grocery store to get him the huge jar of gummy bears just for him to accept his apology, and all he did was reject it. His aunt was right; he should have accepted his apology a way long time ago. How bad he was feeling!

I don't deserve a brother like him, Hiro thought as tears streamed down his cheeks.

Aunt Cass pulled him in a hug. "Shh… it's alright, sweetie," she said, as she rubbed his back while he shook with every sob.

"No, it's not!" Hiro argued between his sobs. "I'm such an idiot!"

"Hey," Aunt Cass soothed. "You're not…it's okay…shh…" While her younger nephew continued sobbing, she hugged him for a long time until he finally looked up. His face was red from crying.

"Oh, Aunt Cass," he finally uttered. "After all this, do you think Tadashi will accept my apology for being cold with him when he was trying to be nice?"

"Of course," Aunt Cass answered him with a gentle smile. She was happy that her younger nephew was beginning to feel sorry. She was doing it! She was fixing between the brothers! Now her nephews would be back to how they were, and that's what she wanted. "He will be very happy to have his unique relationship with his younger brother again."

Hiro returned her smile. After letting out all his emotions by crying, he was feeling much lighter now. "I'll apologize to him when he comes home," he promised her. He couldn't wait. All he wanted to do was give his big brother a big hug, and tell him how sorry he is.

Aunt Cass's smile widened. "That's my nephew," she said, as she reached out and gave him another hug.

Hiro was about to say something, when his aunt's cell phone rang.

"Who could that be?" she asked with a frown as she picked up. She put her phone to her ear as she listened.

"…oh, hi Wasabi…"

Wasabi? Hiro thought curiously. What does he want? Why did he call?

He was one of Tadashi's friends.

Aunt Cass listened for a little while, before she gasped. "…oh really?"

Hiro suddenly felt nervous, wondering what could've happened that made his aunt gasp suddenly. She looked like she may breakdown any second.

"I'll be right there!" she said, as she finally hung up. She looked very grim and worried.

"What happened, Aunt Cass?" Hiro asked, his heart pounding. He couldn't wait to find out.

His aunt was silent for a moment, taking a few deep breaths, before she finally looked at her nephew.

"Hiro…," she said, thinking of a way to say this. "Your brother had a little accident on his way. He got hit by a truck."

And heeeere's chapter 5!
