This is my first Big Hero 6 fanfic, I just saw the movie and man, and I am in love with it so much! So… I fell in love with Tadahoney (Tadashi x Honey Lemon) ship and was basically inspired by this ship to be driven to write this fanfiction. Sort of riding on that Tadashi is still alive train, because of the feels. I know, I suck at summaries. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this!
Warning: Spoilers Ahead!
OoooO
If she was lying, then she would say it didn't hurt. If she was lying, then she wouldn't feel so broken. If she was lying, then she would not being wishing that it never happened.
But it happened.
The explosion. And he was there, he went in only mere moments before the flames burst up and soared, licking to leaking gases, engulfing the building entirely. Then before another sharp scream could leave his younger brother's mouth, before one shout could escape and flee his throat, it blew. Sending his younger brother back, soot covering his younger brother's face and clothes, and then it was done.
Tadashi was gone.
Not in the sense where he would return in years, or even that their friendship could not be fixed.
He was gone.
Forever.
Hiro took the lost hard, the hardest. Of course, he had lost his brother, his older brother. The one that was there after his parents died; the one who was always there to keep him from bot fights, and away from harm and/or trouble. Hiro locked himself up since then. He didn't register for school, and it was understandable. Tadashi went there, Tadashi encouraged him to join him, but now…
Tadashi was gone. He was never coming back. He was never going to return or anything of the sort.
Hiro took it hard.
And so did Honey.
Honey Lemon had finally come with terms with her feelings towards the eldest Hamada. It had been a constant battle of simply friendship to more than that. From a like to a love, a classic case of skinny love on her part, too much fear of destroying their friendship and dynamic. But at the same time not truly aware of the fact it was love at the same time. Honey told herself that after Hiro made it in, and Hiro was settled, then she would tell Tadashi.
Yet, she never was able to. Once she caught wind of the explosion and how close of a proximity Hiro was to it, her concern quickly shifted to Tadashi. Only to discover he was inside the building when it went off into total destruction. Slipping from her grasp, there the world slipped and then cracked below her very feet. The sensation of falling filled her while everything seemed to keep moving, she was frozen and yet, falling, everything else moved and kept going.
Unlike Hiro, Honey simply kept going to school, after the funeral and her multiple break downs. She faked smiles when it seemed fine, but it had been unbearable to pass his lab. It hurt even more, no; it was agonizing to witness his lab being cleared out. Another reality check for her, another clear slap to the face which would lead to another night huddled up under her covers in a mess of sobs and hiccups. Honey would surround herself with her friends, the friends she wouldn't have if not for Tadashi. They all were pained, and Honey knew that, but she still felt like she was in more pain.
She hated that. That feeling of it hurts more, it was selfish. But all at the same time, it was true.
Then once weeks had passed, and Hiro had still not come to the university, Honey felt it was high time to stop the self pity. She and the others tried to see the poor kid, but every attempt failed. So, she sent him videos.
She always loved to take photos and simply indulged in the pleasure of having a camera on her phone. She would have them all and then hit record as they said a simply "Hi", "How are you doing?", "We miss you." for her to send to Hiro. She expected no response, and she got none. She just needed the kid to know there is someone there for him.
And she would look through the bitter sweet memories of those photos of Tadashi.
Then a message was sent from Baymax.
Followed by one wild, crazy, adventure. Where they weren't simply nerds with brains, but were heroes, using science to stop the man in the kabuki mask. To stop whatever plan it was that required Hiro's micro bots and the man who most likely started that fire. Who killed Callaghan and… Tadashi…
Of course, it was something they all wanted. Hiro mostly, he wanted to stop it most, not just because of Tadashi, but for the sake of all that was good. Catch him, nothing more and nothing less was the deal.
Until they saw the face behind the mask.
Hiro lost himself. He lost it completely. He removed Baymax's chip, the one which Tadashi created. Tadashi's inscriptions which made Baymax the lovable robot he was. Hiro tossed it aside and said one word, "Destroy." And Baymax went after Callaghan, Hiro set on killing the man who caused his brother's death. Set of destroying him, that was what Hiro now wanted, and by all means he would get it.
Baymax went on a rampage to get Callaghan. Fred, Gogo, and Wasabi trying to stop the once lovable robot, only to be tossed of or thrown. Hiro yelling for Baymax to get Callaghan, anger and fury spew in each scream that tore from his throat. Honey Lemon simply stood frozen at it all; she watched it unfold before her. Not out of fear, but because she wanted him to die as well. He killed Tadashi. Tadashi went back for him. Tadashi died in vain; he didn't deserve to die for someone who was pure evil, who was low.
Honey wanted Baymax to destroy as well.
"He is going to help a lot of people." Tadashi's voice flooded her ears
"Really? How is that?" was her inquire.
He turned to face her, that heartwarming grin upon his face. "He is programmed to do that, and I can't wait until he is finished. Then I can show Hiro, hopefully inspire him, you know?"
Her lips curved into a deep smile, "I do, and I'm sure you'll finish him. And that Hiro will love him."
"Thanks Honey." His hand patted the exterior with great pride and care. He looked back at her and smiled once more, "Well, let's get something to eat."
She felt shame at first and then scanned for the disc. Her eyes landed upon the chip and she hurried to grab a hold of it. Eyes wild with despair, fear of being too late, her heels clicked as she ran to get to Baymax. His hand ready to fire, her fingers pressed to open his case with a worrisome face. She quickly and gently placed the chip in with hopes he'd stop as it entered.
Baymax did, much to Hiro's distaste. He yelled. He screamed. He was hurting once again. So he left them.
Honey knew how he felt, but he had to realize his wrongs.
They found him in his garage in a fit of tears and pain. He found his fault, apologies were dealt, and forgiveness was given. Their team was back, the mission still at course, stop and capture.
When it was finally over, Baymax was gone.
But not forever, Hiro made him once more and used the chip. Tadashi's chip. With the help of his friends, they built Baymax. Honey was happy to see that Tadashi was still alive.
Hiro was able to move on because of Tadashi's legacy.
So, maybe Honey could do it too. For Tadashi.
Hot liquid started to spill once again, "You are so unfair, Tadashi…" she choked out as she took one more glance at his cleaned out lab, now Hiro's.
"Honey, you coming?!" Gogo's voice called out for the sweet honey blonde.
Swallowing it back, Honey turned as her hands wiped away those pesky tears of hers. "Yeah, just a second. I'm just trying to find my laptop!" Her fingers still lingering upon to handle as she thought about those lovely memories once more. "I love you…" a low whisper fled her lips, "Goodbye, Tadashi…"
OoooO
It isn't over yet. This is I guess a prologue simply… a brief summary. Well, review please and tell me what you think. It is mostly Hiro and Honey based right now, but next chappie will be sent into the past with Tadashi and Honey Lemon. And then back to Hiro and Honey centric.
Hope you liked it so far!
