Chapter 1:

"Tadashi!" 3 year old Hiro Hamada cried, running after his older brother in the park. Tadashi was 11, and he decided to take his little brother, Hiro, to the park. It was late fall, and Hiro and Tadashi were playing tag. Tadashi stopped to kick up some fallen leave in front of Hiro and watched his brother stare at the colors in awe before chasing after his big brother again.

"Aunt Cass, were home!" yelled Tadashi as he walked in the bakery/house, a sleeping Hiro in his arms. He carried Hiro up to their room and softly placed him in bed. He drew his covers up to his chin and kissed his forehead. "goodnight Nii-san," he whispered, before getting into his own warm bed and let sleep overtake him as snuggled deeper in his blankets.

Tadashi woke up to the sound of crying. Not just any crying, his little brother crying. He checked his phone. 12:34 AM. He instantly shot up in bed and threw his covers off of his body. He slipped his bare feet on the cold tile and ran to his brothers bed. Under the mass of blankets, he found Hiro curled in a fatal positions, tears streaming down his face and onto his pillow. "no…MOMMY DADDY!" he screamed, shooting up and sobbing even louder. Tadashi instinctively wrapped his arms around his little brother, whispering calming and comforting things while gently rubbing his back and stroked his hair. "Shh..its okay, Hiro, I got you.. Shhh.." they stayed like this until Tadashi felt Hiro go limp and placed Hiro gently back on his bed. He moved to leave, but Hiro felt the warmth leave and cried out. Tadashi sighed and picked him up and carried him to his bed he laid down with Hiro is his arms and wrapped the covers around them both. Once he felt his brother fall asleep, he allowed sleep to overtake him again.

TIME SKIP: 4 YEARS

"Tadashi…?" whimpered 7 year old Hiro. Hiro and Tadashi were standing in front of a large grey tombstone. The words on it read:

Cass Hamada

Hiro cried and instinctively grabbed for his older brothers warm hands. Tadashi bent down and hugged Hiro. He was crying as well, for they had just lost their aunt, their only caretaker. After the funeral, Hiro and Tadashi were walking aimlessly around the large city of San Frinsokyo. When they reached home, there was a woman in a black business suit and high heels and lots of makeup. "Hello Hiro, hello Tadashi," she said. " I have come to take you to the foster home. Hiro you come with me. Tadashi another man will come and get you." She said grasping Hiro's arm. Tadashi looked confused. "why cant I just go with you guys?" He asked. The business lady looked amused. "because, you two will be going to separate foster homes. She said.
