(My apologies for the late upload-a couple of announcements are at the bottom.)

It started because Baymax is far more attentive than anyone guessed a robot would be.

Hiro has good days and bad days. On the good days it was easy to laugh and smile and look over to the empty side of the room with only the mildest of twinges.

The bad days are harder. On the bad days he leaves a certain door in the lab closed, and can't stand the sight of his fighting bot, and getting out of bed is hard.

The first time Baymax notices this, he, surprisingly, does not say anything. He simply waddles over to the tired teen and wraps large, fluffy arms around him, and turns on his space heater. Hiro leans into the warmth, the stress falling from his shoulder and a slow smile appearing on his face.

Baymax doesn't let go until his neurotransmitters are at an acceptable level. And sometimes not for some times after that.

This pattern continues-when Hiro has moments in the lab, or at home, and even once during a movie night at Fred's place.

Eventually, Hiro's bad days just turn into less good days. There'll always been the twinge and the ache, but it's not so bad any more.

Still, Baymax randomly comes up and hugs him.

"Baymax, I'm ok today." Hiro finally comments, curious what the robot will say.

"Hugs are excellent for the healthy conscious and stability." Baymax replies automatically in response, not letting go.

Hiro decided to just enjoy the hug and not pursue it further.

(A/N: Sorry for the shortness, this just...felt more like a drabble chapter than a oneshot chapter.

On that note, I have two announcements.

First: Updates will be postponed for the next couple of weeks. Finals + Family Stuff = Very Little Time for Writing. Have no fear, I'm not abandoning this story. Updates should start up again just after Christmas. My goal is a minimum of 25 chapters and that's still what I'm aiming for.

Which leads to my second announcement: I would love to hear some prompts/requests from all of you! I have a few more ideas of my own up my sleeve, but if I want to get to 25 chapters, I'm going to need some help. I'm open to anything from specific requests to one-word prompts to even AU ideas, but I know the limits of my own writing abilities and if I don't feel like I can do your prompt justice, I'll let you know. I have only a couple of limitation: please keep all prompts to a T-rating or milder, and I will not write Hiro/Tadashi slash. Repeat after me: Incest should not be shipped. I have a little brother and incest stuff is just kind of creepy. If you want to ship it, that's your business, but I won't be writing it.

Finally, thank you all so much for the reading and kind words-you all are awesome!)
