Welcome! I'm taking the challenge on writing a couple of oneshots on something I've never written before! Sadly, I'm not gay (or lesbian), I know being straight is gross as my friend would say, so I'm sorry if there are some parts that don't work out to well. I plan to write two more chapters and then calling it complete. If I do want to write more I will but it forever stay complete. Another thing I should mention is that this is not a Hidashi fic. I LOVE the Hidashi shipping but trust me I don't want to ruin a perfect shipping with my writing. But Tadashi will still the Big Brother role :)

Hiro Hamada did not expect this to happen. He knew there was something different about him compared to the other guys. Am I really gay? He thought to himself. This thought had been bothering him for months. He often found himself looking at other guys in the PE lockers, and stutters while talking face to face with an attractive male. It's okay. Some people go through this phase, being curious about what it would be like to have sex with the same sex.

Hiro continues another year going through the motions being a teenager. He concluded by then that he really was gay. What triggered his decision was from a truth or dare game. The young boy was dragged into it by a couple of students who thought it would be funny to see the innocent freshman get scared. He sat in between one of the hottest girls in school and a senior male who was pretty chill. He was dared both times to make out with the two. The girl was sloppy on him while the senior was slow and gentle. Hiro secretly did not want to pull away from the man but he had to pull away sooner or later. At his third round, he picked truth, 'who did he prefer?' The girl to his left gave a behavior of 'It's me'. She was getting ready to lean into Hiro but he unconsciously turn to the senior on his right to kiss him again. The male was shocked at first but allowed it anyway, he really didn't care. The girl was in disgust and left the game offended.

From then on, Hiro was comfortable and allowed himself to develop crushes. However, he needed to watch out on who he was talking to. There were some who thought he was a freak. He didn't mind. He liked his sexuality. What scared him was actually admitting it publicly. See, Hiro recently has been bullied for his personality and his ability in robotics. They found him slightly quirky and hilarious that he was all the teachers' pet. They made jokes about him wanting to sleep with the teachers especially the ones who were male. Another rumor going around was that he gave a blow job to a student in the restrooms during 3rd period. As much as these rumors were hurting him, only half of the school heard the made up stories. Tadashi was the other half who has not heard them. Hiro planned it to keep it that way. He didn't want his brother to get involved in over-protective mode. It would make things worse.

No one knew about Hiro's sexuality. Not even Tadashi and Aunt Cass. Cass thought he was asexual, seeing that Hiro had never really complained about heartbreak from a girl. Same for Tadashi, he wondered why his brother had not asked for any girl advice. Hopefully he was not hiding anything to himself.

Eventually someone guess about Hiro's secret and spread it throughout the entire freshman class. While most students found it non-interesting and were ok with it, there were some who were shocked. There were even some who were angry and disgusted. The bullying got worse from the haters making Hiro's insecurity increase. They fooled around with his feelings and taunted him with a guy who pretended to be interested in him. Hiro didn't understand the game at first, until he was publicly humiliated in the hallways leaving him heartbroken.

Hiro sulked on his chair in the cafe staring off into space. I hate my life. Why doesn't anyone understand me? It was closing time. Cass was wrapping up her order on the last two customers and cleaned up the kitchen putting stuff away. Tadashi was downstairs helping his aunt so that she didn't have to do as much work. He cleaned the table and came by Hiro's. "Come on bonehead help me finish up." The younger boy did not move an inch. Tadashi looked at Hiro to see that was upset about something. Come to think of it, Hiro had been awfully quiet the past few days. Something was bothering him. He grabbed a chair and sat next to Hiro, "What's up man, you've been off the entire week." Hiro did not want to say anything. What if Tadashi found out and decides to disown him, or maybe Cass as well. He put his arms and his head down to indirectly tell Tadashi that he is upset but does not want to talk about it yet. Tadashi was patient and left to finish the rest of his chores leaving Hiro to have a moment.

The family ended up sitting in their living room watching TV and talking about Tadashi's college applications. He really wanted to apply to SFIT, so Aunt Cass supported him in his decision. Hiro participated in the conversations one in a while, but he was still drifting off remembering about the encounter Tadashi made earlier in the cafe. "Oh my poor boy." Cass said sincerely at the television. On the news, a reporter covered a story about a teen boy who committed suicide after his parents kicked him out of the house for being gay. Hiro was stiff and uneasy watching the screen. It made his position even worse. Tadashi looked away from the screen and shot a glance at Hiro. He noticed he was tense and bowed his head slightly towards the ground. Tadashi was worried about his brother. "Hiro? What's wrong?"

Hiro jerked in surprise hearing his name. Guilt was running through his body. Why was he feeling that way? He opened his mouth but no words came out. Aunt Cass turned her attention to her youngest nephew. "Are you okay sweetie?"

He was shaking. Part of him wanted to tell them but part of him didn't want to. But couldn't come up with a lie. "I really don't know what to say."

Tadashi got up across the couch Hiro was and kneeled in front of Hiro. Hiro turned his head away from Tadashi and Cass's eyes. "Hiro, if there's something that is bothering you, you can trust us." The sound of a phone ringing was echoing the room from the kitchen. "Who is calling at such an ungodly hour?!" Before Aunt Cass retrieved the room, she kissed Hiro at the top of his head and patted Tadashi on the back. It was up to Tadashi now to help his brother. Tadashi never took his eyes off of Hiro. Hiro gave up knowing that he was not going to leave without an answer.

"You probably might hate me." Hiro whispered nervously.

Tadashi leaned in closer to reassure his brother. "I would never hate you brother. Aunt Cass would never hate you. We are here for you no matter what. Whether you screwed something up or feel embarrassed about a situation, we will always be there to support you."

Hiro looked in his brother's eyes that were filled with care and patience. How could he turn this down? "Okay."

He took a minute to gather his thoughts. He took a deep breath and started, "It's not easy to say this, but lately I have been dealing with this for over a year. It took me a while to see if I was sure about myself. I don't want to hide it anymore but I'm scared for rejection. I've already been made fun of for this. I'm gay. I'm attracted to guys. I really don't know another way to put it for you to understand.

Hiro waited for his brother to respond, it was taken longer than expected. Predicting the worst, Hiro allowed a tear to fall. He was going to end up like the boy on TV. Abandoned and no other place to go. Suddenly, a pair of arms are wrapped around his body. His eyes widened, then he rested his head on his shoulder.

"Hiro," Tadashi spoke softly in his embrace, "I don't care if a person is gay or not. Everyone has the right to love whoever they want. I'll always love you bro. Who cares about the people who can't accept it. They're losers."

Hiro hugged his brother back. They pull away and Tadashi was happy to see him smiling again. "So who made fun of you?" Hiro explained to Tadashi the rumors his class were spreading and how there were students who teased him about his sexuality. Tadashi was furious about the actions the freshmen did but kept his anger to himself not wanting to ruin their brotherly moment. Hiro also shared his first kiss. It was on a Valentine's Day a couple years ago when his partner took him to the back of the school. What made Tadashi uneasy was that the two barely met that same day and Hiro never saw him since. The two brothers were still in conversation, joking around and Hiro being sarcastic at his brother. His sassiness was defiantly one of his traits. He loved it though, it fits his brother.

Aunt Cass comes back into the room stressed out but happy to see her nephews getting along. "Boys, I gonna need your help with cleaning up the house right now. The social worker is going to come by early in the morning for an inspection and did not have enough time to fix this place up on time! How are you Hiro?"

Tadashi nodded at Hiro and his brother look straight to his aunt. "Aunt Cass," he paused, "I'm gay." Cass blinked twice, "That's it? Baby, I knew about this since you were 11. Now come on kids it's almost midnight!" Well that went easy the brothers thought. Then again, Aunt Cass was a woman who loved everyone.

Hiro no longer had to worry about hiding his preferences to his family. In fact, he now was a lot more open to them. They continued to function as a normal comfortable family. Just like how Aunt Cass would embarrass Tadashi whenever he brought a girl, Cass would do the same for Hiro in the cafe. Whenever Hiro had a relationship problem, he would always come to Tadashi for advice. Nothing really changed Hiro since he came out to them, he only felt like he can do whatever he wanted and not feel ashamed by his peers. Tadashi was still the overly protective brother. The cool benefit from it however, was that whenever someone broke his heart, they'd had to deal with Tadashi. No one messes with his baby brother.

Review and let me know what you think! Love or Hate it I don't mind.
